Description of Pedobacter lithocola KG 3R48

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, umbonate, entire, and orange colored after incubation for 3 days on MA at 25℃. Positive for β-galactosidase; but negative for arginine dihydrolase, lysine decarboxylase, ornithine decarboxylase, citrate utilization, H 2 S production, urease, tryptophane deaminase, indole production, acetoin production, and gelatinase in API 20E. D-Glucose, D-mannitol, inositol, Dsorbitol, L-rhamnose, D-sucrose, D-melibiose, amygdalin, and L-arabinose are not utilized for fermentation/oxidation. Strain KG3 R48 (= HNIBRBA4485) was isolated from rhizosphere soils of a halophyte ( Argusia sibirica ) collected from Anmyeon-do (36°33′36.71″N, 126°19′ 23.87″E), Taean , Chungcheongnam-do, Korea. The Gen Bank accession number of the 16 S rRNA gene sequence of strain KG3 R48 is OP602335 .
