Positive for nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase in API 20NE, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease and gelatinase. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid are utilized.
