In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for gelatinase and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose and D- mannose; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, arginine dihydrolase, urease, β -galactosidase, and assimilation of D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malate, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain BT 751 (= NI- BRBAC000508874 ) was isolated from a soil sample collected from Seogwipo , Republic of Korea (33°14 ʹ 19 ʺ N 126°17 ʹ 16 ʺ E) .
