Description of Deefgea chitinilytica IMCC 25674

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, rod, and aerobic. Colonies grown on R2A are circular, convex, entire, and white. Positive for glucose fermentation in API 20NE, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatinase, and β -galactosidase. D-Glucose, D-mannose, N - acetyl-glucosamine, and gluconic acid are utilized. Does not utilize L-arabinose, D-mannitol, D-maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain IMCC25674 displays the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Deefgea chitinilytica Nsw-4 T (99.4%). Strain IMCC25674 (= IHBA_12) was isolated from a freshwater sample of Lake Chungju. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA gene sequence is KY053198.
