Fermentative metabolism. Most biochemical reactions were determined by API Coryne,
API 50CH, and API ZYM tests.
Positive results for alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, catalase, esterase (C4),
esterase lipase (C8), pyrazinamidase, acid production from: N-acetylglucosamine, fructose, glucose, glycerol, maltose, mannose &
ribose.
Negative results for chymotrypsin activity, cystine arylamidase, esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, lipophilism, nitrate reduction,
urease, acid production from: adonitol, amygdalin, arabitol, arbutin, L-arabinose, cellobiose, dulcitol, erythritol, D-fucose, galactose,
glycogen, beta-gentiobiose, inositol, inulin, 2- and 5-ketogluconate, lactose, lyxose, mannitol, melezitose, melibiose,
raffinose,rhamnose, salicin, sorbitol, sorbose, sucrose, tagatose, turanose, xylitol & xylose.
Variable results for acid production from: D-arabinose, L-fucose, starch & trehalose.
