Description of Bacillus halotolerans 19D1S38

Gram-stain-positive, facultative anaerobic, flagellated, long rod-shaped bacterium (0.7-0.8 μm wide, 3.2-3.5 μm long). Colonies grown on mueller hinton agar are brown, circular, and flat. Oxidase activity is negative. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for nitrate reduction; hydrolysis of aesculin and gelatin; β -galactosidase activity; and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid, but negative for indole production; glucose fermentation; activity of arginine dihydrolase and urease; and assimilation of capric acid. Strain 19D1S38 (= NIBRBAC000503265) was isolated from a sediment sample collected from Jeongseon, Republic of Korea (37°22 ʹ 56.8 ʺ N, 128°40 ʹ 01.2 ʺ E).
