Description of Microbacterium shaanxiense SO 111

Cells are aerobic, Gram­staining­positive, non­flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, smooth, opaque and cream colored after incubation for 3 days on TSA at 25℃. In the API 20NE system, positive reaction for nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis and β-galactosidase activity. In the API 20NE system, negative reaction for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, gelatin hydrolysis, oxidase activity and utilization of D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D­mannitol, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, D­maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain SO111 (= NIBRBAC 000503305) was isolated from forest soil in Yeongju, Gyeongsangbuk Province, Korea (36°51′27.2″N 128°27′ 28.6″E).
