Esculin hydrolysis is weakly positive in API 20NE but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatinase and β-galactosidase. N-Acetyl-glucosamine is weakly utilized. Does not utilize D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannitol, D-mannose, D-maltose, gluconate, caprate, adipate, malate, citrate and phenylacetate.
