A taxonomic study was carried out on strain HYC-10T, which was isolated from the intestinal tract contents of a flathead mullet, Mugil cephalus, captured from the sea off Xiamen Island, China.The bacterium was observed to be Gram positive, oxidase and catalase positive, rod shaped, and motile by subpolar flagella.The bacterium was found to grow at salinities of 0-12% and at temperatures of 8-45℃.The isolate was found to hydrolyze aesculin and gelatin, but was unable to reduce nitrate to nitrite.
