Positive for esculin hydrolysis and urease and β - galactosidase activities in API 20NE, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, and arginine dihydrolase and gelatinase activities. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, trisodium citrate, N -acetyl-glucosamine, and potassium gluconate are utilized. Does not utilize D-maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, and phenylacetic acid. Strain PMX-RY (= NIBRBA0000114218) was isolated from a Tap water, Daejeon, Korea .
