In the API 20NE strip, esculin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase activity and assimilation of D-glucose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine and D-maltose are positive, but nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease and gelatinase activities and assimilation of L-arabinose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid are negative. Strain M-M24 (= NIBRBA0000114319) has been isolated from a sand of seashore, Pohang, Korea.
