Cells are Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-flagellat- ed and rod shaped. Colonies grown on R2 A are white, circular, convex and entire. Oxidase activity is positive. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, gelatinase, β -galactosidase, and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, malate, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid; but negative for indole production, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and assimilation of D- mannose, capric acid and adipic acid. Strain MMS21 -AI2-12 (= NI- BRBAC000508731 ) was isolated from a soil sample collected from Okcheon , Republic of Korea (36°19 ʹ 24.3 ʺ N 127°43 ʹ 42.4 ʺ E) .
