Description of Psychrobacter urativorans 16MFM4

Cell is Gram-stain-negative and coccus-shaped. Colonies are pale yellow-colored after 3 days of incubation on Marine Agar at 25°C. In the GN3 microplates, acetic acid, acetoacetic acid, N -acetyl-D-galactosamine, L-alanine, γ-amino-butryric acid, D-arabitol, L-arginine, D-aspartic acid, L-aspartic acid, bromo-succinic acid, citric acid, dextrin, formic acid, D-fructose, D-fructose 6-PO4, D-fucose, L-fucose, L-galactonic acid lactone, D-galactose, D-galacturonic acid, gelatin, gentiobiose, D-gluconic acid, α-D-glucose, D-glucose-6-PO4, glucuronamide, D-glucuronic acid, L-glutamic acid, L-histidine, α-hydroxybutyric acid, β-hydroxy-D,L-butyric acid, α-keto-butyric acid, α-keto-glutaric acid, L-lactic acid, D-lactic acid methyl ester, α-D-lactose, D-malic acid, L-malic acid, D-maltose, D-mannose, D-melibiose, β-methyl-D-glucoside, 3-methyl glucose, methyl pyruvate, mucic acid, pectin, propionic acid, glycyl-L-proline, L-pyroglutamic acid, quinic acid, D-raffinose, L-rhamnose, D-saccharic acid, D-serine, L-serine, stachyose and tween 40 are utilized as sole carbon source. But N -acetyl-D-mannosamine, N -acetyl-neuraminic acid, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-cellobiose, glycerol, p-hydroxy-phenylacetic acid, inosine, D-mannitol, myo-inositol, D-salicin, D-sorbitol, sucrose, D-trehalose and D-turanose are not utilized.

In sensitivity tests, the tetrazolium redox dye is reduced at 1% NaCl, 1% sodium lactate, 4% NaCl, 8% NaCl, aztreonam, lincomycin, lithium chloride, pH 6, potassium tellurite, rifamycin SV, D-serine, sodium butyrate and tetrazolium blue. But not in the presence of fusidic acid, guanidine HCl, minocycline, nalidixic acid, niaproof, pH 5, sodium bromate, tetrazolium violet, troleandomycin and vancomycin. Strain 16MFM4 (= NIBR BAC000499699) was isolated from a soil sample, Jeju, Korea.
