Description of Terracoccus luteus BT654

Cells are Gram-stain-positive and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex and yellow colored after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 25℃. Positive for β-galactosidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis and cytochrome oxidase. D-Glucose is utilized as a sole carbon source; but not L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain BT654 (= NIBRBAC000506198) was isolated from a soil sample from Wonju-si, Gangwon-do. The Gen Bank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain BT654 is MT993459 .

Description of Microbacterium halimionae JHSTF-M27

Cells are Gram-stain-negative and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, glistening and light yellow colored after incubation for 5 days on MA at 25℃. Positive for glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis and β-galactosidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatin hydrolysis and cytochrome oxidase. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid are not utilized as sole carbon sources. Strain JHSTF-M27 (= NIBRBAC000506398) was isolated from a tidal flat sample from Seocheon-gun, Chungcheongnam-do.

Description of Microbacterium saccharophilum JHSTF-R7

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, ovoid and rod-shaped.

Colonies are circular, slightly convex, glistening and light yellow colored after incubation for 5 days on at R2A media at 25℃. Positive for arginine dihydrolase, esculin hydrolysis and β-galactosidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation urease, gelatin hydrolysis and cytochrome oxidase. D-Maltose is utilized as a sole carbon source; but not D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain JHSTF-R7 (= NIBRBAC000506394) was isolated from a tidal flat sample from Seocheon-gun, Chungcheongnam-do.

Description of Arthrobacter alkaliphilus MMS20-SJTN15

Cells are Gram-stain-positive and V-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire and yellow colored after incubation for 3 days on NA at 30℃. Positive for arginine dihydrolase, urease, β-galactosidase and cytochrome oxidase; weakly positive for glucose fermentation and esculin hydrolysis; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production and gelatin hydrolysis. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid, trisodium citrate, phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; but not L-arabinose, capric acid and adipic acid. Strain MMS20-SJTN15 (= NIBRBAC000506164) was isolated from a soil sample from Sejong-si. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain MMS20-SJTN15 is MW159344 .
