Description of Psychrobacter maritimus 216MGT3

Cell is Gram-stain-negative and rod-shaped. Colonies are pale yellow-colored after 3 days of incubation on Tryptic Soy Agar at 25°C. In the GN3 microplates, acetic acid, acetoacetic acid, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, Lalanine, γ-amino-butryric acid, L-aspartic acid, bromo-succinic acid, citric acid, dextrin, formic acid, D-fructose, D-fructose 6-PO4, D-fucose, L-fucose, L-galactonic acid lactone, D-galacturonic acid, gelatin, gentiobiose, D-gluconic acid, α-D-glucose, glucuronamide, D-glucuronic acid, L-glutamic acid, L-histidine, α-hydroxybutyric acid, β-hydroxy-D,L-butyric acid, p-hydroxy-phenylacetic acid, α-keto-butyric acid, α-keto-glutaric acid, L-lactic acid, D-lactic acid methyl ester, α-D-lactose, D-malic acid, L-malic acid, D-maltose, D-mannitol, D-mannose, D-melibiose, β-methyl-D-glucoside, mucic acid, pectin, propionic acid, glycyl-L-proline, L-pyroglutamic acid, L-rhamnose, D-serine, L-serine, D-sorbitol, stachyose, sucrose, D-trehalose, D-turanose and tween 40 are utilized as sole carbon source. But N -acetyl-D-galactosamine, N -acetyl-D-mannosamine, N -acetyl-neuraminic acid, D-arabitol, L-arginine, D-aspartic acid, D-cellobiose, D-galactose, D-glucose-6-PO4, glycerol, inosine, 3-methyl glucose, methyl pyruvate, myo-inositol, quinic acid, D-raffinose, D-saccharic acid and Dsalicin are not utilized.

In sensitivity tests, the tetrazolium redox dye is reduced at 1% NaCl, 1% sodium lactate, 4% NaCl, 8% NaCl, aztreonam, lincomycin, lithium chloride, pH 6, potassium tellurite, rifamycin SV, sodium butyrate and tetrazolium blue. But not in the presence of fusidic acid, guanidine HCl, minocycline, nalidixic acid, niaproof, pH 5, D-serine, sodium bromate, tetrazolium violet, troleandomycin and vancomycin. Strain 216MGT3 (= NIBR BAC000499697) was isolated from a soil sample, Jeju, Korea.
