Yokenella regensburgei can be differentiated from Hafnia species by its ability to utilize citrate and to produce acid from cellobiose,
melibiose and D-arabitol.
Positive results for methyl red, citrate utilization (Simmons), lysine decarboxylase,
ornithine decarboxylase, growth in the presence of cyanide, beta-galactosidase,
tetrathionate reductase, acid production from glucose (with gas production), D-mannitol, L-arabinose, L-rhamnose, maltose,
D-xylose, trehalose, cellobiose, melibiose, D-mannose, D-galactose, L-fucose and D-gluconate.
Negative results for indole production, Voges-Proskauer, H2S production (TSI), urea hydrolysis, phenylalanine deaminase, arginine
dihydrolase, malonate utilization, gelatin hydrolysis, lipase (corn oil and Tween 80), DN-ase, esculin hydrolysis, pectinase, chitinase,
beta-xylosidase, acid production from adonitol, lactose, sucrose, dulcitol, salicin, myo-inositol, D-sorbitol, raffinose,
alpha-methyl-D-glucoside, erythritol, D-arabitol, glycerol and mucate.
