Colonies are circular, entire, smooth, raised, and white-colored after 2 days of incubation on R 2A at 30°C. Positive for nitrate reduction and cytochrome oxidase, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatinase, and β -galactosidase in the API 20NE test. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetylglucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, malic acid, and trisodium citrate are utilized but adipic acid and phenylacetic acid are not utilized. Strain 16_S3_F7 ( = NIBRBAC000498580) was isolated from a freshwater sample collected at Han-River.
