In the BIOLOG GEN III, dextrin, D-maltose, D-cellobiolose, gentiobiose, sucrose, D-turanose, stachyose, D-raffinose, α -D-lactose, D-melibiose, β -D-glucoside, D-salicin, N -glucosamine, β -mannosamin, neuraminic acid, α -D-glucose, D-fructose, D-galactose, Dmannitol, D-arabitol, D-serine, L-glutamic acid, pectin, D-glucuronic acid, and methyl pyruvate are utilized as sole carbon source. But D-trehalose, N -galactosamin, Dmannose, 6-methyl-glucose, D-fucose, L-fucose, Lrhamnose, inosine, D-sorbitol, myo-inositol, glycerol, D-fructose, D-aspartic acid, gelatin, glyctl-L-proline, Lalanine, L-aspartic acid, L-histidine, pyroglutamic acid, L-serine, galacturonic acid, L-galactonic lactone, Dgluconic acid, glucuronamide, mucic acid, quinic acid, D-saccharic acid, pheylacetic acid, D-lactic acid, L-lactic acid, citric acid, α -glutaric acid, D-malic acid, L-malic acid, succinic acid, tween 40, γ -butryric acid, α -butryric acid, β -butryric acid, acetoacetic acid, propionic acid, acetic acid, and formic acid are not utilized. In sensitivity tests, the tetrazolium redox dye is reduced in the presence of potassium tellurite, aztreonam, 1% NaCl, 1% sodium lactate, 4% NaCl, lithium chloride, pH 6, nalidixic acid, sodium butyrate, and sodium bromate but not in pH 5, 8% NaCl, fusidic acid, D-serine, troleandomycin, rifamycin SV, minocycline, lincomycin, guanidine HCl, niaproof 4, vancomycin, tetrazolium violet, tetrazolium blue, lithium chloride, aztreonam, and sodium bromate.

Nitrate reduction and indole production are negative (API 20NE). In the API 20NE and ID 32GN systems, positive for arginine dihydrolase, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-ribose, D-saccharose (sucrose), D-maltose, L-alanine, glycogen, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, D-mannitol, salicin, D-melibiose, valeric acid, L-histidine, 3- hydroxybutyric acid, and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. Negative for glucose fermentation, L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, phenylacetic acid, L-rhamnose, inositol, itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, sodium acetate, lactic acid, potassium 5-ketogluconate, L-serine, D-glucose, D-fucose, D-sorbitol, L-arabinose, propionic acid, potassium 2- ketogluconate, and L-proline.

Strain 17J80-6 (= NIBRBAC000500502) was isolated from a soil sample, Jeju-do, Korea.
