Description of Gillisia limnaea SC 115 Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, smooth, convex, and yellow colored after incubation for 3 days on MA at 30℃. Positive for esculin hydrolysis and β-galactosidase, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatin hydrolysis. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid are not utilized as sole carbon sources. Strain SC115 (= GFMCBAC000000237) was isolated from soil sampled at Suncheon, Jeollanam-do. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain SC115 is MK 201771.
