Positive for nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase, but negative for indole production, arginine dihydrolase and urease in API 20NE. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N-acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, malic acid and trisodium citrate are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not adipic acid and phenylacetic acid.
