Description of Loktanella atrilutea HS 1-70

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies grown on marine agar (MA) are circular, convex, smooth, and ivory colored after incubation 2-3 days at 30° C. Positive for oxidase, glucose fermentation, urease, esculin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase, but negative for reduction of nitrates, indole production, arginine dihydrolase, and gelatin hydrolysis. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol (weakly), and D-maltose are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain HS 1-70 (= NNIBR2017301 BA29) was isolated from sediment of the Seomjingang River , Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA gene sequence is KX809753 .
