Positive results for catalase, gelatin hydrolysis, Tweens 20 (weak reaction), 40, 60, 80 hydrolysis, acid production from: glucose &
mannose.
Negative results for arginine dihydrolase, H2S production, methyl red, starch hydrolysis, Voges-Proskauer test, acid production from:
L-arabinose, galactose, inulin, melezitose, raffinose, rhamnose, ribose, trehalose & xylose.
Weak and variable results for sucrose acidification.
