Description of Flavobacterium cupreum LK 23

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, flat, glistening, and yellow after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 25°C. In the API 20NE system, positive for β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, and gelatin hydrolysis. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannitol, and D-maltose are utilized as sole carbon sources; while D-mannose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, citrate, and phenyl-acetate are not. Strain LK23 (= NIBRBAC000509704) was isolated from a soil sample at Hoengseong-gun, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea.
