Description of Nocardia takedensis KR 3-23

The cells are Gram-stain-positive, flagellated, and rod-shaped. The colonies are circular, slightly convex, glistening, and white-yellow colored after incubating for 7 days on R2 A at 25℃. They are positive for indole production, esculin hydrolysis, and gelatin hydrolysis; but negative for nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase in API 20NE. D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not utilized as sole carbon sources. Strain KR3-23 (= HNIBRBA7030) was isolated from a soil sample from Jawoldo Island (37°15 ʹ 15.6 ʺ N, 126°18 ʹ 1.8 ʺ E), Incheon, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence is OR342813 .
