Description of Bacteroides fragilis LPB0329

Gram-stain-negative, anaerobic, non-flagellated, rod-shaped bacterium (0.6-0.9 μm wide, 1.9-2.0 μm long). Colonies grown on anaerobe basal agar are cream, circular, entire, and convex. Oxidase activity is negative. In the API 20A test, cells are positive for urease activity; and acidification of D- glucose, D- mannitol, D- lactose, sucrose, D- maltose, D- xylose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- melezitose, D- raffinose, and D- sorbitol, but negative for indole production; hydrolysis of aesculin and gelatin; and acidification of salicin, glycerol, D- cellobiose, D- rhamnose, and D- trehalose. Strain LPB0329 (= NIBRBAC000503364) was isolated from an animal intestine sample (mouse) collected from Daejeon, Republic of Korea (36°23 ʹ 56.5 ʺ N, 127°23 ʹ 39.8 ʺ E).
