Cells are Gram-staining-negative, flagellated, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire, and cream colored after 2 days on MA at 30°C. Positive for indole production, β -galactosidase, and esculin hydrolysis. Negative for nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, and arginine dihydrolase, gelatinase, and urease activities. D-Glucose, D-mannitol, adipic acid, and malic acid are utilized. Does not utilize L-arabinose, D-mannose, potassium gluconate, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, phenylacetic acid, trisodium citrate, and capric acid.
