Description of Patulibacter brassicae EM1152

Cells are Gram-stain-positive and rod-shaped. Cell size is 1.3-1.5 μm. Colonies are circular, smooth, entire, and white pigmented after 3 days of incubation at 28°C on R2A. Positive for reduction of L-arabinose; but negative for nitrates to nitrite (NO - 3> NO 2 -), reduction of nitrates to nitrogen, indole production, glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, urease, β -glucosidase (esculin hydrolysis), protease (gelatin hydrolysis), β -Galactosidase (PNPG), D-glucose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-maltose, gluconate, caprate, adipate, malate, citrate, and phenyl-acetate. Utilizes L-arabinose, valerate, and acetate; but does not utilize D-mannitol, D-glucose, salicin, D-melibiose, L-fucose, D-sorbitol, propionate, caprate, citrate, L-histidine, 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxy-butyrate, 4-hydroxy-benzoate, L-proline, L-rhamnose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-ribose, inositol, D-sucrose, D-maltose, itaconate, suberate, malonate, lactate, L-alanine, 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hy- droxy-benzoate, and L-serine. Enzymatic activity reaction was positive for alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, and naphtol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase; but negative for lipase (C14), valine arylamidase, trypsin, α -chymotrypsin, α -galactosidase, β -galactosidase, β -glu- curonidase, α -glucosidase, β -glucosidase, N -acetyl- β -glu- cosaminidase, α -mannosidase, and α -fucosidase. Strain EM1152 (= NIBRBAC000509130) was isolated from an agricultural soil sample, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea.
