Positive for glucose fermentation, urease, esculin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase in API 20NE, but negative for nitrate production, indole production, arginine dihydrolase and gelatinase. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, Dmannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid, trisodium citrate are utilized. Does not utilize capric acid, adipic acid, and phenylacetic acid. Strain WR-M3W (= NIBRBA0000113999) has been isolated from a soil sample, Wando, Korea.
