Description of Amphritea opalescens GJ 51­11

Cells are Gram­stain­negative, rod shaped, and nonflagellated. After 3 days at 15-30℃ on MA medium, colonies are circular and cream colored. The result from the API 20NE tests show positive for nitrate reduction and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, β ­galactosidase, and gelatinase. Trisodium citrate is utilized; but not D- mannose, D- mannitol, D- glucose, L- arabinose, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, malic acid, capric acid, and phenylacetic acid. Strain GJ51­11 (= NIBRBAC000508953 ) was isolated from seaweed in Gwangjin Beach (37°57 ʹ 17.6 ʺ N, 128°46 ʹ 21.2 ʺ E), Yangyang­gun , Gangwon­do , Korea. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain GJ51­11 have been deposited in GenBank under accession numbers OL334516 .
