Description of Microterricola gilva 17J11-11

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, and short rod-shaped. Colonies are yellow-colored after 3 days of incubation on R2A at 25℃.

In API 20NE system, positive for the reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, β-galactosidase, D-glucose, L-arabinose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-maltose, and potassium gluconate. Negative for the reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, gelatin hydrolysis, D-mannitol, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Weakly positive for assimilation of D-mannose.

In API 32GN system, positive for L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-ribose, inositol, D-saccharose (sucrose), D-maltose, itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, sodium acetate, lactic acid, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-mannitol, D-glucose, salicin, D-melibiose, D-fucose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, propionic acid, capric acid, valeric acid and trisodium citrate, L-histidine, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. Negative for L-proline. G + C mol for strain 17J11-11 is 69.2%. Cells showed resistance to UV radiation. Strain 17J11-11 (= NIBRBA0000116032) was isolated from a soil sample in Korea.
