Description of Aquimarina macrocephali M23SW434

The cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. The colonies are circular, convex, entire, and orange-colored after incubating for 7 days on MA at 20℃. They are positive for nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease and β -galactosidase in API 20NE. D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not utilized as sole carbon sources. Strain M23SW434 (= HNIBRBA6937) was isolated from a sea water sample from Gageodo Island (34°4 ʹ 7 ʺ N, 125°6 ʹ 6 ʺ E), Jeollanam-do, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence is OR863783 .
