Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, and entire after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 20℃. Positive for oxidase, esculin hydrolysis, and β-galactosidase, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, gelatin hydrolysis, and urease in API 20NE. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, malic acid, and trisodium citrate are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, and phenylacetic acid.
