Positive results for citrate (Simmons), DNase, Tween 20, 40 and 60 hydrolysis, acid production from glucose, mannose, esculin,
maltose and trehalose.
Can assimilate glycerol, glucose, D-mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, maltose and trehalose.
Negative results for catalase, aesculin hydrolysis, lecithinase, nitrate reduction, oxidase, Tween 80 and 85 hydrolysis
acid production from fructose, ribose, sorbitol, N-acetylglucosamine, gluconate and 5-ketogluconate.
No utilization of fructose, inositol, ribose and D-gluconate.
