Old synonym:
Photorhabdus luminescens subsp. noenieputensis Ferreira et al. 2013.
Gram-negative rods.
Colonies are pigmented. Good growth is observed in TSB from 26 ºC to 37 ºC.
Haemolysis (not annular) is produced on sheep-blood agar. The bromophenol blue
in NBTA and neutral red in MacConkey medium are absorbed.
Isolated from a novel entomopathogenic nematode species of the genus Heterorhabditis (strain 158-C).
Resistant to ampicillin 100 ug/ml. Growth of B. subtilis DSM 10T is inhibitedby cells grown on nutrient agar plates.
Highly pathogenic to Galleria mellonella, (on experimental infection all G. mellonella larvae that had been injected with strain AM7T
died).

Positive results for acetoin production, arginine dihydrolase (weak), catalase, Simmons’ citrate, esculin hydrolysis, lipase (Tween 40
and  80), urease, acid production from adonitol (weak), esculin, fructose, L-fucose (weak), glycerol, glucose, inositol, mannose,
maltose, N-acetylglucosamine, sorbitol (weak), ribose, salicin (weak), trehalose and xylitol (weak).
Can assimilate citrate,
esculin, glucose, fructose, glycerol, inositol, D-mannose, maltose, N-acetylglucosamine, ribose, trehalose,
and xylitol.

Negative results for DNase, indole production, lecithinase, lipase (Tween 20 and 60), oxidase and nitrate reduction, acid production
from mannitol and 5-ketogluconate.
No assimilation of
caprate, L-fucose, L-malate, and mannitol.
