It is positive for arginine dihydrolase, esculin hydrolysis (weak), gelatinase (weak), utilization of glucose, arabinose, mannose, mannitol (weak), N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate (weak), capric acid (weak), malic acid (weak), and trisodium citrate (weak), and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, urease, β-galactosidase, and utilization of maltose, adipic acid, and phenylacetic acid, per the analysis using the API 20NE kit. Strain BT58 (= NIBRBAC000502990) was isolated from soil in Hoenggye-ri, Daegwallyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea.
