Description of Maritimibacter alkaliphilus AsT1

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and short rod-shaped. Colonies are white yellow-colored after 3 days of incubation on MA at 30℃. In API 20NE test, positive for urease, potassium gluconate, esculin hydrolysis, reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), and arginine dihydrolase; but negative for indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, and gelatin hydrolysis. D- Glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- maltose, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-D- glucosamine, capric acid, and phenylacetic acid were utilized. Strain AsT1 (= NIBRBAC000506373) was isolated from a soil sample from Taean Coast, Chungcheongbuk-do, Korea.
