Description of Pseudarthrobacter polychromogenes JBTF-M 16

Cells are aerobic, Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, glistening and yellowish white colored after incubation for 2 days on marine agar medium at 30℃. In the API 20NE system, positive reaction for nitrate reduction, hydrolysis of esculin and gelatin, β-galactosidase activity and utilization of D­glucose, D­mannose, D­mannitol, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, D­maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. In the API 20NE system, negative reaction for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, oxidase activity and utilization of L-arabinose, capric acid and adipic acid. Strain JBTF­M16 (= NIBRBAC000503335) was isolated from tidal flat sediment in Jebu Island , Gyeonggi Province, Korea (37°9′48″N 126°37′1″E) .
