Colonies are irregular, entire, smooth, raised and white colored after incubation for 3 days on R2 A at 30℃. Positive for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, urease, esculin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase, but negative for arginine dihydrolase and gelatin hydrolysis in API 20NE. 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 as sole carbon sources, but not adipic acid.
