Description of Massilia brevitalea R-2-13

Cells are Gram-negative, motile, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, raised, entire, and cream colored after 3 days on R2 A agar at 30° C. Oxidase and catalase positive. Using the API 20NE kit, this strain was positive for protease; but negative for nitrate reduction, reduction of nitrates to nitrogen, indole production, glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, urease, β -glucosidase, β -galactosidase, D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, gluconate, caprate, adipate, malate, citrate, and phenyl-acetate. In API 32GN, carbon assimilation is positive for salicin, propionate, valerate, L-histidine, 3-hydroxy-butyrate, D-sucrose, itaconate, acetate, DL-lactate, L-alanine, and 5-ketogluconate. Negative for D-mannitol, D-glucose, D-melibiose, L-fucose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, caprate, citrate, 2-ketogluconate, 4-hydroxy-benzoate, L-proline, L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-ribose, inositol, D-maltose, suberate, malonate, glycogen, 3-hydroxy-benzoate, and L-serine. DNA G + C mol is 64.4%. Strain R-2-13 (= NIBRBAC000500608) was isolated from peatland soil, Gangwon Province, Korea .
