DOI: 10.1099/ijsem.0.001731
Abstract: A novel bacterium, designated as strain AM134T, was isolated from the gut of a purple sea urchin (Heliocidaris crassispina) gathered from the coastal waters of Dokdo, Korea. Strain AM134T was Gram-stain-negative, both catalase- and oxidase-positive,… read more here.
