Description of Vagococcus lutrae LPB 0214

Gram-stain-positive, anaerobic, non-flagellated, ovoid, rod-shaped bacterium (0.6-0.7 μm wide, 2.3-2.5 μm long). Colonies grown on anaerobe basal agar are cream, circular, entire, and convex. Oxidase activity is positive. In the API 20A test, cells are positive for urease activity; and acidification of D- glucose, D- mannitol, D- lactose, sucrose, D- maltose, salicin, glycerol, D- cellobiose, D- mannose, D- sorbitol, and D- trehalose, but negative for indole production; hydrolysis of aesculin and gelatin; and acidification of D- xylose, L- arabinose, D- melezitose, D- raffinose, and D- rhamnose. Strain LPB0214 (= NIBRBAC000503358) was isolated from an animal intestine sample (mouse) collected from Daejeon, Republic of Korea (36°23 ʹ 55.6 ʺ N, 127°23 ʹ 42.5 ʺ E).
