Description of Qipengyuania aestuarii M23HP119

The cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod-shaped. The colonies are circular, convex, entire, and beige-colored after incubating for 7 days on MA at 20℃. They are positive for glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase in API 20NE. D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannitol, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, and malic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; but D- mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, capric acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain M23HP119 (= HNIBRBA6170) was isolated from a halophyte sample from Gadeokdo Island (34°48 ʹ 5.74 ʺ N, 126°7 ʹ 11.63 ʺ E), Busan, Korea. The GenBank accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence is OR863766 .
