D­glucose, L­arabinose, D­mannose, D­mannitol, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, D­maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid and trisodium citrate are utilized. Does not utilize capric acid, adipic acid and phenylacetic acid. Strain AB7 (= NIBRBA0000114044) was isolated from a tidal flat sample, Uihang-ri, Sowon-myeon, Taean, Korea.
