Description of Aquimarina atlantica KYW1525

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, smooth, and yellow colored after incubation for 3 days on MA at 25℃. Positive for β-galactosidase nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, urease, and esculin hydrolysis, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, urease, esculin hydrolysis, arginine dihydrolase, and gelatin hydrolysis in API 20NE. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, phenylacetic acid and adipic acid are not utilized as sole carbon sources. Strain KYW1525 (GFMCBAC000000234) was isolated from seawater sampled at Jeollanam-do. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain KYW1525 is MK 201768.
