Description is based on API CORYNE (2200725) and API ZYM results.
Fermentative metabolism. Pyruvic acid is the major metabolic intermediate during the metabolic cycle.
Positive results for catalase (strong reaction), esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, lipophilism, pyrazinamidase,
pyrrolidonyl arylamidase (weak reaction), acid production from: glucose, maltose, ribose (weak reaction), sucrose & xylose.
Negative results for acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, alpha-chymotrypsin, cystine arylamidase, alpha-fucosidase, gelatin
hydrolysis, alpha- and beta-galactosidase, alpha- and beta-glucosidase, beta-glucuronidase, N-acetyl- beta-glucosaminidase,
beta-lactamase, lipase, alpha-mannosidase, nitrate reduction, trypsin, urease, valine arylamidase, acid production from: fructose,
glycogen, lactose & mannitol.
