Colonies are circular, raised, undulate and white-yellow-colored after 2 days on R2 A at 30° C. Positive for gelatinase in API 20NE but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis and β­galactosidase. D­Glucose, D­mannitol, N-acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, gluconate, adipate, malate, citrate and phenylacetate are utilized. Does not utilize L-arabinose, D-mannose and caprate. Strain Ho-02 (= NIBRBA0000114825) has been isolated from activated sludge, Daejeon , Korea . Description of Brevibacterium epidermidis RMD 3Y-15-4 Cells are Gram­staining­positive, non­flagellated and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, entire, convex and pale-yellow-colored after 2 days on R2A at 30°C. Positive for glucose fermentation and gelatinase in API 20NE but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis and β­galactosidase. D­Glucose, L­arabinose, D­mannitol, D-mannose, N-acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, gluconate, caprate, adipate, malate, citrate, phenylacetate are utilized. Strain RMD 3Y-15-4 (= NIBRBA0000114878) has been isolated from ginseng soil, Anseong, Korea .
