Description of Mangrovibacterium marinum HMF 6964

Gram-stain-negative, facultative anaerobic, non-flagellated, long rod-shaped bacterium (0.3-0.4 μm wide, 2.5-5.0 μm long). Colonies grown on marine agar are pale pink, circular, convex, and smooth. Oxidase activity is positive. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for aesculin hydrolysis; and β -galactosidase, but negative for nitrate reduction; indole production; glucose fermentation; activity of arginine dihydrolase and urease; gelatin hydrolysis; and assimilation of 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. Strain HMF6964 (= NIBRBAC000503117) was isolated from a sediment sample of seashore collected from Shinan, Republic of Korea (34°51 ʹ 39.4 ʺ N, 126°08 ʹ 28.4 ʺ E).
