Description of Flavobacterium cauense UTS 2-20

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies grown on Reasoner’s 2A agar (R2A) are circular, convex, smooth, and yellow colored after incubation 2-3 days at 30°C. Positive for arginine dihydrolase, esculin hydrolysis (weakly), gelatin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase (weakly), but negative for oxidase, reduction of nitrates, indole production, glucose fermentation, and urease. Does not utilize D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid as sole carbon sources. Strain UTS2-20 (= NNIBR2018141BA10) was isolated from sediment the Taehwagang River, Ulsan, Korea. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA gene sequence is MK396582.
