Description of Lentzea alba R23HP317

The cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. The colonies are circular, convex, entire, and white-colored after incubating for 7 days on MA at 20℃. They are positive for esculin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatin hydrolysis, and cytochrome oxidase in API 20NE. D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose and malic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; but potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain R23 HP317 (= HNIBRBA6862) was isolated from a halophyte sample from Gageodo Island (34°2 ʹ 57.3 ʺ N, 125°8 ʹ 1.1 ʺ E), Jeollanam-do, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence is OR863780 .
