Description of Shewanella chilikensis IMCC 44053

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire, mucoid, opaque, and pale orange-colored after incubation for 3 days on MA at 20℃. Positive for nitrate reduction, gelatin hydrolysis, and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase in API 20NE. N -Acetyl-glucosamine, capric acid, and malic acid serve as the sole carbon source, whereas D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not utilized. Strain IMCC44053 (= HNIBRBA6985) was isolated from a tidal flats sample in Yeonpyeongdo Island , Ongjin-gun, Incheon, Korea .
