Description of Cupriavidus pinatubonensis IMCC 34655

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, entire, and raised after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 25℃. Positive for nitrate reduction and potassium gluconate, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, and β-galactosidase in API 20NE. Capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, and D-maltose. Strain IMCC34655 (= NNIBRBA143) was isolated from river sediment, the North Han River basin, Korea.
