In the API 20NE system, negative reaction for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, gelatin hydrolysis, β-galactosidase activity, and utilization of L- arabinose, D- mannitol, N- acetylglucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain 16_S3_A3 (= NIBRBAC000508801) was isolated from a soil around the Hangang River in Seoul, Korea .
