Description of Novispirillum itersonii subsp. nipponicum MMS 22-HSWR3

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire, and white after incubation for 2 days on R2A at 30°C. In the API 20NE system, positive for cytochrome oxidase, esculin hydrolysis, nitrate reduction, arginine dihydrolase, and urease; but negative for indole production, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, and glucose fermentation. Glucose, capric acid, mannitol (weak), malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; while adipic acid, mannose, arabinose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, and potassium gluconate are not. Strain MMS22-HSWR3 (= NIBRBAC000509467) was isolated from a soil sample at Sejong, Republic of Korea.
