Description of Mycolicibacterium tokaiense

CAU 1693

Cells are gram-stain-positive and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, smooth, entire margin, convex, opaque, and yellow colored after incubation for 3 days on MA at 30° C. In the API 20NE system, positive for urease and esculin hydrolysis; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, and malic acid are utilized as sole carbon source; while D-mannose, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain CAU 1693 (= NIBRBAC000509677) was isolated from a mud flat sample at Ansan , Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea .
