Isolated from traditional fermented mustard products, fu-tsai and suan-tsai, in Taiwan.
Undetermined.
Homofermentative.
Description is based mostly on API 50 CHL (bioMerieux) results.
Positive results for esculin hydrolysis, cystine arylamidase, esterase (C4), alpha- and beta-glucosidase (weak reactions), acid
production from amygdalin, arbutin, cellobiose, D-fructose, galactose, gentiobiose, glucose (without gas production), lactose,
mannose, raffinose, salicin, sucrose, trehalose, and N-acetylglucosamine.
Negative results for arginine deamination, acid phosphatase, catalase, beta-glucuronidase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, nitrate
reduction, acid production from adonitol, L- and D-arabinose, D- and L-arabitol, dulcitol, erythritol, esculin, D- and L-fucose, gluconate,
2- and 5-ketogluconate, glycerol, glycogen inositol, inulin, D-lyxose, mannitol, melibiose, melezitose, methyl
alpha-D-glucopyranoside, methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside, rhamnose, ribose, starch, L-sorbose, sorbitol, turanose, methyl
beta-D-xylopyranoside, methyl alpha-D-xyloside, xylitol, D- and L-xylose.
Variable results for acid production from maltose and D-tagatose.
