Positive for esculin hydrolysis, oxidase and gelatinase, weakly positive for glucose fermentation, but negative for nitrate reduction, Indole production, urease, arginine dihydrolase and β - galactosidase. In API 20NE, positive assimilates for Larabinose and N -acetyl-glucosamine, weakly positive for D-glucose, adipic acid and malic acid, but negative for D-mannose, D-mannitol, D-maltose, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, trisodium citrate capric acid and phenyl acetic acid.
