Description of Comamonas thiooxydans IMCC 34946

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, round, and entire after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 20℃. Positive for nitrate reduction and esculin hydrolysis, but negative for oxidase, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, gelatin hydrolysis, urease, and β-galactosidase in API 20NE. Potassium gluconate is utilized as a sole carbon source, but not D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not utilized as sole carbon sources. Strain IMCC34946 (= NNIBR2018143BA597) was isolated from a freshwater sample, Gongneung Stream, Paju, Gyeonggi-do, Korea.
