Description of Rhizobium rhizolycopersici R23HP227

The cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated, and rod-shaped. The colonies are circular, convex, entire, and beige-colored after incubating for 7 days on R2 A at 20℃. They are positive for urease, esculin hydrolase, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, and gelatin hydrolysis in API 20NE. D- glucose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; but L- arabinose, D- mannose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, and adipic acid are not. Strain R23 HP227 (= HNIBRBA7039) was isolated from a halophyte sample from Geumhodo Island (34°41 ʹ 52 ʺ N, 126°21 ʹ 59 ʺ E), Jeollanam-do, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence is OR889344 .
