Description of Cellulophaga lytica JMW-3

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, flat with entire margin, and yellow colored after 4 days on marine agar at 30°C. Positive for nitrate reduction, urease, and β - galactosidase. Negative for oxidase, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, esculin hydrolysis, and gelatin hydrolysis. Does not use D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, or phenyl-acetic acid as a carbon source. Strain JMW-3 (= NIBRBAC 000498663) was isolated from a marine algae, Jejudo Island, Korea.
