Background Coraliomargarita akajimensis (strain DSM 45221 / IAM 15411 / JCM 23193 / KCTC 12865) is an obligately aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative bacterium isolated from seawater surrounding the hard coral Galaxea fascicularis. The optimum temperature for growth ranges from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, and no growth is observed at 4 or 45 degrees Celsius. The pH range for growth is 7.0-9.0, and NaCl concentrations up to 5% (w/v) are tolerated. C. akajimensis produces acid from glycerol, galactose, fructose, mannose, mannitol, sorbitol, trehalose, D-turanose, D-lyxose, D-tagatose, D-fucose, L-fucose, D-arabitol, and 5-ketogluconate. C. akajimensis is able to hydrolyze urea and DNA, but cannot hydrolyze agar, casein, aesculin, starch and gelatin. Nitrate is not reduced to nitrite. C. akajimensis is catalase negative, oxidase positive and is resistant to ampicillin and penicillin G. (Adapted from PMID 21304713). (EBI Integr8)
