Oxidative metabolism. Most results are based on API CORYNE and API ZYM tests.
Positive results for alkaline phosphatase, catalase, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), gelatin hydrolysis, alpha-glucosidase, lipase,
leucine arylamidase, oxidase, pyrazinamidase & pyrrolidonyl arylamidase.
Negative results for acid phosphatase, aesculin hydrolysis, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucosidase, beta-glucuronidase, N-acetyl-beta-
glucosaminidase, nitrate reduction, trypsin, urease, acid production from: glucose, lactose, maltose, sucrose, mannitol, ribose & xylose.
