Description of Reyranella massiliensis 5SWB3-2

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex and ivory colored after three days of incubation at 25°C on TSA. Positive for nitrate reduction and urease activities in API 20NE, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase. Does not utilize 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 5SWB3-2 displays the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Reyranella massiliensis 521 T (99.0%). Strain 5SWB3-2 (= NNIBR2017BA16) was isolated from a freshwater sample of Nakdong River. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA gene sequence is MG818310.
