Cells are gram-stain-positive and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, glistening, and light-yellow colored after incubation for 3 days on R2 A at 25° C. In the API 20NE system, positive for urease, esculin hydrolysis, and β -galactosidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, gelatin hydrolysis, and cytochrome oxidase. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources; but D-maltose, capric acid, and adipic acid are not.
