Description of Sphingomonas adhaesiva BT 653

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated and rod-shaped. Colonies are pale yellow colored after 3 days of incubation on R2A at 25℃. In the BIOLOG GEN III test, positive for dextrin, D-maltose, D-trehalose, D-cellobiolose, sucrose, D-turanose, stachyose, Positive control, pH 6, D-melibiose, N -glucosamine, 1% NaCl, α -D-glucose, D-mannose, D-fructose, D-galactose, sodium lactate, glycerol, D-gluose, D-fructose, troleandomycin, rifamycin SV, glyctl-L-proline, L-alanine, L-glutamic acid, lincomycin, pectin, D-glucuronic acid, tetrazolium blue and α -glutaric acid; weak positive for gentiobiose, D-raffinose, α -D-lactose, β -D-glucoside, D-salicin, β -mannosamin, N - galactosamin, neuraminic acid, 4% NaCl, D-arabitol, myo-inositol, minocycline, gelatin, L-aspartic acid, pyroglutamic acid, galacturonic acid, glucuronamide, D-saccharic acid, tetrazolium violet, methyl pyruvate, D-lactic acid, citric acid, D-malic acid, acetoacetic acid, formic acid, sodium butyrate and sodium bromate; but negative for pH 5, 8% NaCl, D-sorbitol, D-mannitol, 6-methyl-glucose, inosine, D-serine, D-aspartic acid, D-serine, L-arginine, L-histidine, L-serine, guanidine HCl, Niaproof 4, pheylacetic acid, L-lactic acid, γ -butryric acid, α -butryric acid, β -butryric acid, α -butyric acid and propionic acid. In API 20NE, esculin hydrolysis, D-glucose and D-mannose were utilized; β -galactosidase, D-maltose, malic acid and trisodium citrate were weakly utilized; whereas reduction of nitrates (NO 3 -) to nitrite (NO 2 -), reduction of nitrates (NO 3 -) to nitrogen (N 2), indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatin hydrolysis, L-arabinose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid and phenylacetic acid were not utilized. In the API 32GN test, D-saccharose (sucrose), D-maltose, glycogen, D-glucose and L-proline were utilized; while L-rhamnose, N - acetyl-glucosamine, D-ribose, inositol, itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, sodium acetate, lactic acid, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-mannitol, salicin, D-melibiose, D-fucose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, propionic acid, capric acid, valeric acid, trisodium citrate, L-histidine, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid were not utilized. Strain BT653 (= NIBRBAC00050 6219) was isolated from a soil sample from Wonju, Gangwon-do, Korea.
