In the API 20NE system, positive for nitrate reduction and gelatin hydrolysis; but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, and cytochrome oxidase. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannitol, D-maltose, and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; while D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, and trisodium citrate are not.
