Description of Massilia flava MMS 22-MBR12

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire, and brown colored after incubation for 2 days on R2A at 30°C. In API 20NE system, positive reactions are obtained for nitrate reduction, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatinase, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for indole production and glucose fermentation. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; while capric acid is not. D-Mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, and adipic acid are weakly utilized. Strain MMS22-MBR12 (= NIBRBAC000509465) was isolated from a soil sample at Sejong, Republic of Korea.
