Colonies are circular, convex, entire, and pale-yellow colored after 10 days of incubation on R2 A at 30° C. Nitrate is reduced and esculin is not hydrolyzed. The strain shows negative reactions for enzyme activities of urease, gelatinase, β -galactosidase and arginine dihydrolase, whereas the strain shows positive reaction for enzyme activity of oxidase. Indole is not produced and glucose is not fermented. The strain does not utilize D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, D-mannitol, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid.
