Description of Bacillus nealsonii 19SA03-T-11

Cells are Gram-staining-positive, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are irregular, smooth, and beige colored after three days of incubation at 25°C on TSA. Positive for nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase in API 20NE, but negative for indole production, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatin hydrolysis. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, and malic acid are utilized. Does not utilize L-arabinose, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain 19SA03-T-11 displays the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Bacillus nealsonii FO-92 T (99.3%). Strain 19SA03-T-11 (= NNIBR2019643BA5) was isolated from a freshwater sample of Nakdong River. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA gene sequence is MN540832.
