Positive for nitrate reduction and arginine dihydrolase in API 20NE, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, urease, esculin hydrolysis, gelatinase and β -galactosidase. D-Maltose and adipic acid are utilized. Does not utilize D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid.
