Description of Terrimonas ferruginea Wi-47

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, smooth, glistering, and orange colored after incubation for 2 days on R 2A at 30℃. Positive for esculin hydrolysis and gelatin hydrolysis, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and β-galactosidase in API 20NE. L-Arabinose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose and malic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not D-glucose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain Wi-47 (= GFMCBAC000000169) was isolated from sludge sampled at Seoul. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain Wi-47 is MK 039089.
