Description of Comamonas nitrativorans A79

Cells are Gram­stain­negative, flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire and pink colored on MacConkey agar medium after 48 h incubation at 15℃. Cells are positive for esterase (C4), leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, α ­chymotrypsin, acid phosphatase, naphthol­AS­BI­phosphohydrolase, N ­acetyl­ β ­glucosaminidase (API ZYM) and assimilate caprate, malate, propionate, valerate, 3­hydroxy­butyrate, L­proline, acetate, lactate, L­alanine (API 20NE/ID 32GN). Utilize dextrin, gentiobiose, D­melibiose, α ­D­glucose, D­mannose, D­fructose, D­galactose, 6­methyl­glucose, D­fucose, L­fucose, L­rhamnose, D­fructose, D­serine, gelatin, glycyl­L­proline, L­aspartic acid, L­glutamic acid, pectin, galacturonic acid, galactonic lactone, D­glucuronic acid, glucuronamide, L­lactic acid, L­malic acid and acetoacetic acid as sole carbon sources (Biolog GEN III).

Strain A79 (= NIBRBAC000503092) was isolated from the gut of Leopard mandarin fish ( Siniperca scherzeri ) at Chungju, Chungcheongbuk Province, Korea.
