Description of Flectobacillus major UTS 5-52

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies grown on Reasoner’s 2A agar (R2A) are irregular, convex, smooth, mucoid, and light-pink colored after incubation 2-3 days at 25°C. Positive for oxidase, reduction of nitrates, esculin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatin hydrolysis. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, and potassium gluconate as sole carbon sources, but not D-mannitol, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain UTS5-52 (= NNIBR2017301BA35) was isolated from sediment of the Taehwagang River, Ulsan, Korea. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA gene sequence is MG780331.
