In API 20NE, reduction of nitrates (NO 3 -) to nitrite (NO 2 -), reduction of nitrates (NO 3 -) to nitrogen (N 2), esculin hydrolysis, D-mannitol, adipic acid and malic acid were utilized; D-glucose and potassium gluconate were weakly utilized; whereas indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-maltose, capric acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid were not utilized. In the API 32GN test, L-rhamnose, inositol, D-saccharose (sucrose), D-maltose, itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, sodium acetate, lactic acid, potassium 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-mannitol, D-glucose, D-fucose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, propionic acid, valeric acid, trisodium citrate, L-histidine, potassium 2-ketogluconate and 3-hydroxybutyric acid were utilized; while N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-ribose, L-alanine, salicin, D-melibiose, capric acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and L-proline were not utilized. Strain BT 623 (= NIBRBAC000506216) was isolated from a soil sample from Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do Korea .
