In the API 20NE system, negative reaction for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, gelatin hydrolysis, oxidase activity and utilization of L-arabinose, N ­acetyl­glucosamine and capric acid. Strain 19D1F19 (= NIBRBAC000503260) was isolated from soil around the Dong River, Gangwon Province, Korea (37°22′56.8″N 128°40′01.2″E) .
