Description of Micromonospora endophytica

Gsoil 1175

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, and mycelium-forming with spore bearing. Colonies are circular, convex and orange colored after 2 days on R2A at 30°C. Nitrate is reduced and esculin is not hydrolyzed. The strain shows negative reactions for enzyme activities of oxidase, arginine dihydrolase, gelatinase, urease, and β -galactosidase. Indole is not produced and glucose is not fermented. The strain utilizes D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-maltose, and potassium gluconate, whereas the strain does not utilize D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, malic acid, trisodium citrate, phenylacetic acid, capric acid, and adipic acid. Strain Gsoil 1175 (= NIBRBAC000500994) was isolated from a soil sample, Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province, Korea.

Description of Micromonospora wenchangensis BE 2-18

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and mycelium-forming with spore bearing. Colonies are circular, entire, convex, and orange colored after 8 days on NA at 30°C. Nitrate is not reduced and esculin is hydrolyzed. The strain shows positive reactions for enzyme activities of gelatinase, oxidase, and β -galactosidase, whereas the strain shows negative reactions for enzyme activities of arginine dihydrolase and urease. Indole is not produced and glucose is not fermented. The strain utilizes L-arabinose, potassium gluconate, and weakly utilizes D-glucose and D-maltose, whereas the strain does not utilize D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, capric acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, adipic acid, and phenylacetic acid. Strain BE2-18 (= NIBRBAC000501034) was isolated from tidal flat sediment, Eulsukdo, Busan, Korea.
