In the API 20NE system, positive for esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis and cytochrome oxidase; but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose acidification, arginine dihydrolase, urease, and β -galactosidase. N -Acetyl-D-glucosamine and D-maltose are utilized as sole carbon sources; while D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, citrate, and phenyl-acetate are not.
