Description of Georgenia muralis EM1187

Cells are Gram-stain-positive and rod-shaped. Cell size is 1.5-1.7 μm. Colonies are circular, smooth, entire, and white pigmented after 3 days of incubation at 28°C on R2A. Positive for reduction of D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, and D-maltose; 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), gluconate, caprate, adipate, malate, citrate, and phenyl-acetate. Utilizes D-mannitol, D-glucose, salicin, L-arabinose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-sucrose, and D-maltose; but does not utilize D-melibiose, L-fucose, D-sorbitol, propionate, caprate, valerate, citrate, L-histidine, 2-ketogluco- nate, 3-hydroxy-butyrate, 4-hydroxy-benzoate, L-proline, L-rhamnose, D-ribose, inositol, itaconate, suberate, malonate, acetate, lactate, L-alanine, 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hydroxy-benzoate, and L-serine. Enzymatic activity reaction was positive for esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, naphtol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, α -glucosidase, and N -acetyl- β -glucos- aminidase; but negative for alkaline phosphatase, lipase (C14), valine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, trypsin, α -chymotrypsin, acid phosphatase, α -galactosidase, β -galactosidase, β -glucuronidase, β -glucosidase, α -mannosidase, and α -fucosidase. Strain EM1187 (= NIBRBAC000509132) was isolated from an agricultural soil sample, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea.
