Description of Pararhodobacter marinus CAU 1660

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-flagellat- ed and rod shaped. Colonies grown on marine agar are cream, circular, entire, convex, smooth and opaque. Oxidase activity is positive. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for esculin hydrolysis, urease, gelatinase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, β -galactosidase, and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malate, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain CAU 1660 (= NIBRBAC000508840) was isolated from a sea sediment sample collected from Geoje, Republic of Korea (34°81 ʹ 29.6 ʺ N 128°70 ʹ 70.5 ʺ E).
