Castellaniella daejeonensis Lee et al. 2010.
Gram-negative rods, 0.3-0.5 x 1.4-1.7 μm. Non-spore-forming. Motile.
Facultatively anaerobic. The optimum temperature for growth is 30 ºC. Optimum pH
for growth is 6.5-7.0.
Colonies on R2A agar plates for 2 days at 30 ºC were 0.5-2.0 mm in diameter,
circular, smooth, convex, shiny, transparent and yellowish. On R2A agar, LB agar, TSA
and nutrient agar the isolate was able to grow at 25-42 ºC, but not at 20 or 45 ºC. On
MacConkey agar, growth occurred at 30-42 ºC
Isolated from soil near an oil reservoir in Daejeon, South Korea.
Undetermined.

Positive results for catalase, casein hydrolysis (weakly), esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis,
leucine arylamidase, nitrate is reduction to nitrogen gas, oxidase. In API 50 CHB tests, acid is produced without gas from erythritol,
mannose, lactose, D-arabitol and gluconate but not from other substrates.

D-mannose, D-mannitol, 3-hydroxybenzoate, inositol, malonate, 2-ketogluconate, L-rhamnose, D-ribose, 4-hydroxybenzoate,
L-serine, gluconate, phenylacetate, adipate, L-histidine and D-sorbitol.
Negative results for acid and alkaline phosphatase, arginine dihydrolase, chitin hydrolysis, alpha-chymotrypsin, hydroxyethyl cellulose
hydrolysis, cystine arylamidase, DNase, alpha-fucosidase, alpha- and beta-glucosidase, alpha- and beta-galactosidase,
beta-glucuronidase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, lipase (C14), alpha-mannosidase, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, starch
hydrolysis, trypsin, urease and valine arylamidase.
No utilization of: melibiose, sucrose, 5-ketogluconate, salicin, glycogen, L-fucose, citrate, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, itaconate and
