In sensitivity tests, the tetrazolium redox dye is reduced in the presence of pH 6, 1% NaCl, sodium lactate, and lithium chloride; but not in the presence of pH 5, 4% NaCl, 8% NaCl, fusidic acid, D-serine, troleandomycin, rifamycin SV, minocycline, lincomycin, guanidine HCl, niaproof 4, vancomycin, tetrazolium violet, tetrazolium Blue, nalidixic acid, potassium tellurite, aztreonam, sodium butyrate, and sodium bromate.

In API 20NE system, positive for of reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), arginine dihydrolase, urease, D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, and phenylacetic acid. Negative for reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), indole production on tryptophan, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, and trisodium citrate.

In API 32GN system, positive for L-rhamnose, D-ribose, inositol, lactic acid, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-mannitol, D-glucose, salicin, D-sorbitol, propionic acid, L-histidine, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, 4-hydroxybenzoi acid, and L-proline.

Strain 17J28-10 (= NIBRBAC000500501) was isolated from a soil sample.
