The colony was pale orange. Strain AMV4Twas positive for oxidase, aesculinase, lysine decarboxylase and ornithine decarboxylase activities and negative for amylase, catalase, cellulase, protease, urease and lipase activities. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain AMV4Twas a member of the orderActinomycetalesand was closely related toAquipuribacter...
