Description of Microbacterium telephonicum IMCC 34786

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, facultative anaerobic, flagellated, and coccus-shaped. Colonies are irregular, convex, entire, and white-colored after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 20℃. Positive for arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, and β-galactosidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, gelatin hydrolysis, and cytochrome oxidase in API 20NE. Potassium gluconate is utilized as a sole carbon source, but D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, Dmannitol, N- acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not utilized. Strain IMCC34786 (= NNIBR2020 642BA23) was isolated from a sediment sample, Gyeongan Stream, Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, Korea.
