Description of Arthrobacter celericrescens NC 19

Cells are Gram-stain-positive and rod-shaped. Cell size is 0.65-0.85 μm. Colonies are circular, smooth, entire, and yellow pigmented after 3 days of incubation at 28°C on NA. Positive for reduction of β -glucosidase (esculin hydrolysis), β -Galactosidase ( PNPG), D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-maltose, gluconate, malate, citrate, and phenyl-acetate; but negative for nitrates to nitrite (NO 3 ->NO 2 -), reduction of nitrates to nitrogen, indole production, glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, urease, protease (gelatin hydrolysis), caprate, and adipate. Utilizes D-mannitol, D-glucose, salicin, D-melibiose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, citrate, L-histidine, 2-ketogluconate, 4-hydroxy-benzoate, L-proline, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, inositol, D-sucrose, D-maltose, lactate, L-alanine, 3-hydroxy-benzoate propionate, and L-serine; but does not utilize L-fucose, propionate, caprate, valerate, 3-hydroxy-butyrate, L-rhamnose, D-ribose, itaconate, suberate, malonate, acetate, 5-keto- gluconate, and glycogen. Enzymatic activity reaction was positive for alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, naphtol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, α -galactosidase, β -galactosidase, α -gluco- sidase, β -glucosidase, and α -mannosidase; but negative for lipase (C14), trypsin, α -chymotrypsin, β -glucuro- nidase, N -acetyl- β -glucosaminidase, and α -fucosidase. Strain NC 19 (= NIBRBAC 000509136) was isolated from an agricultural soil sample, Chungcheongnam-do, Korea .
