Description of Marinobacter similis CAU 1666

Cells are Gram­stain­negative, rod shaped, and nonflagellated. After 3-5 days at 30℃ on MA medium, colonies are circular, entire, convex, smooth, translucent and cream colored. The result from the API 20NE tests show positive for nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, β ­galactosidase, and gelatinase. D- Mannose, D- mannitol, D- glucose, L- arabinose, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, malic acid, capric acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not utilized. Strain CAU 1666 (= NIBRBAC000508849 ) was isolated from sea sediment in Ayajin Beach (38°16 ʹ 32.0 ʺ N, 128°33 ʹ 12.0 ʺ E), Goseong­gun , Gangwon­do , Korea. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain CAU 1666 have been deposited in GenBank under accession numbers OK614081 .
