Description of Photobacterium indicum 19MK03-MR-19

Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex and ivory colored after 10 days of incubation at 25°C on M-R2A. Positive for nitrate reduction, indole production, arginine dihydrolase, and urease activities in API 20NE, but negative for glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase. D-Glucose and D-mannitol are utilized. Does not utilize L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain 19MK03-MR-19 displays the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Photobacterium indicum ATCC 19614 T (99.4%). Strain 19MK03-MR-19 (= NNIBR2019643BA10) was isolated from a freshwater sample of Nakdong River. The GenBank accession number of 16S rRNA gene sequence is MN540837.
