Gram-negative rods, 0.1-0.5 x 0.6-1.7 µm. Non-spore-forming. Motile.
Most colonies are entire, non-pigmented and non-haemolytic (1 of 8 strains was
positive). Distinctive colony centres may appear. Grows at 37 ºC on BSA, Burkholderia
cepacia selective agar and MacConkey agar. Most strains grows at 42 ºC. Aerobic.
Isolated from soil and human respiratory samples in Australia and the USA.
Undetermined.

Positive results for lysine decarboxylase, oxidase (slow reaction), acid production from
glucose (negative in API 20NE), maltose, lactose and xylose.
Can assimilate glucose, mannose, mannitol, N-acetylglucosamine, gluconate, caprate, adipate, malate, citrate and phenylacetate.
Negative results for arginine dihydrolase, esculin hydrolysis, indole production, nitrate reduction, ornithine decarboxylase, acid
production from adonitol.
Variable results for gelatinase, beta-galactosidase, acid production from sucrose, assimilation of L-arabinose and maltose.
