Description of Flavobacterium collinsii IMCC 34522

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are irregular, undulate, and raised after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 25℃. Positive for nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis, and β-galactosidase, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatin hydrolysis in API 20NE. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not capric acid and adipic acid. Strain IMCC34522 (= NNIBRBA134) was isolated from river sediment, the North Han River basin, Korea.
