Description of Salinicola socius M23HP356

The cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated, and rod-shaped. The colonies are circular, convex, entire, and yellow-colored after incubating for 7 days on MA at 20℃. They are positive for glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, and urease; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase in API 20NE. D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, potassium gluconate, malic acid, and trisodium citrate are utilized as sole carbon sources; but N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain M23HP356 (= HNIBRBA6822) was isolated from a halophyte sample from Gageodo Island (34°2 ʹ 57.3 ʺ N, 125°8 ʹ 1.1 ʺ E), Jeollanam-do, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence is OR863779 .
