“…All strains are motile by gliding and positive for oxidase, catalase, alkaline phosphatase, leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, β-galactosidase, β-glucosidase and N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase activities, assimilation of glucose, arabinose, mannose and maltose and hydrolysis of aesculin. All strains are negative for: Gram-staining; nitrate reduction; indole production; glucose fermentation; C14 lipase, β-glucuronidase, α-mannosidase and α-fucosidase activities; assimilation of mannitol, N-acetyl-glucosamine, gluconate, caprate, adipate, malate, citrate and phenyl-acetate; hydrolysis of Tweens 20, 40, 60 and 80. these three Filimonas species [1,4,5]. In addition, summed feature 3 was also the major cellular fatty acid in Filimonas lacunae YT21 T and Filimonas endophytica SR 2-06 T [1,4].…”
