Negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, arginine dihydrolase, urease, glucose fermentation, and gelatinase but positive for esculin hydrolysis and β ­galactosidase in API 20NE. Utilizes D­glucose, D­mannose, L­arabinose and N ­acetyl­glucosamine but D­mannitol, potassium gluconate, capric acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, D­maltose, adipic acid and phenylacetic acid are not utilized.
