Cells are Gram-staining-positive, non-flagellated, and oval shaped. Colonies are irregular and cream colored after incubation for 3 days on TSA at 25℃. In the API 20NE system, positive for esculin hydrolysis and β-galactosidase activity; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, gelatin hydrolysis, and oxidase activity. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-maltose, and potassium gluconate are not utilized as sole carbon sources while capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not. Strain NDK-63 (= NIBRBAC000497860) was isolated from a gut of a Burmese python in Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.
