Positive for nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, esculin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase in API 20NE, but negative for indole production, urease and gelatinase. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N - acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are utilized. Does not utilize L-arabinose, capric acid, and adipic acid. Strain HME8588 (= NIBRBA0000114081) has been isolated from a freshwater sample, Juam Reservoir, Korea.
