The colonies are cream-colored, circular, convex, mucoid, and smooth after incubation on MA at 30℃ for 2 days under aerobic conditions. It is positive for esculin hydrolysis, gelatinase, and β-galactosidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and utilization of glucose, arabinose, mannose, mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid, per the analysis using the API 20NE kit. However, the result for the presence of cytochrome oxidase is not available. Strain CAU 1518 (= NIBRBAC000503225) was isolated from sand in Jung-dong , Haeundae-gu, Busan, Republic of Korea .
