Positive for nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis and gelatinase in API 20NE, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease and β -galactosidase. D-Glucose, D-maltose, potassium gluconate and adipic acid are utilized. Does not utilize L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, capric acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid.
