Description of Mycolicibacterium rufum SS 1-64

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies grown on Reasoner’s 2A agar (R2A) are circular, raised, dry with smooth border, and yellow colored after incubation for 5 days at 25°C. Positive for oxidase, reduction of nitrates, and urease, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, esculin hydrolysis, and gelatin hydrolysis. D-Mannitol, L-arabinose (weakly), D-maltose (weakly), potassium gluconate (weakly), and malic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not D-glucose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain SS1-64 (= NNIBR2015296BA10) was isolated from sediment of the Nakdonggang River, Sangju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA gene sequence is KU341399.
