Description of Bacillus algicola G9-2

Cells are Gram-staining-positive, flagellated and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, raised, entire and white colored after 2 days on MA at 25°C. In the API 20NE strip, nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis, gelatinase and β -galactosidase activities and assimilation of D-mannose, potassium gluconate and malic acid are positive, but indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase and urease activities and assimilation of D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid are negative. Strain G9-2 (= NIBRBA0000114358) has been isolated from a tidal flat sample, Taean, Korea.
