Microbacterium natoriense

Microbacterium natoriense is a Gram-positive and rod-shaped bacterium from the genus Microbacterium which has been isolated from soil from Natori in Japan. Microbacterium natoriense produces D-aminoacylase.
Microbacterium natoriense is a non-motile, non-spore-forming, aerobic species that grows optimally at 30 degrees celsius and within a pH range of 5-7. It is positive for catalase, pyrazinamidase, alkaline phosphatase, N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, and gelatinase, but negative for nitrate reduction, urease, pyrrolidonyl arylamidase, oxidation/fermentation, casein hydrolysis, and β-glucuronidase. The species tolerates up to 6% NaCl in LB medium, but growth was not observed at NaCl concentrations of 7% or higher. Its cell-wall diamino acid is ornithine, and the major fatty acids are anteiso-C15:0, iso-C15:0, and anteiso-C17:0. The genomic G+C content is 69.1 mol%.
