Most biochemical reactions were determined by API Coryne and API ZYM tests.
Positive results for catalase, alpha-glucosidase, pyrazinamidase, acid production
from: glucose, maltose & ribose.
Negative results for N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, esculin hydrolysis, ester lipase (C8),
esterase (C4), alpha- or beta-galactosidase, beta-glucosidase, gelatin hydrolysis, lipophilic reaction, nitrate reduction, urease, acid
production from: glycogen, lactose, mannitol, sucrose & xylose.
