Acid-fast rods, 0.5 x 2-6 μm long. No cross-barring. No cords formation.
Forms white, smooth colonies. Non-photochromogenic. Grows within 3 days. Grows
at 28 and 37”C, but does not grow at 42, 45 or 52 ºC. No growth on MacConkey agar
w/o crystal violet. Can grow on media supplemented with 5% NaCl.

Isolated from soil in a cattle field. Resistant to isoniazid (10 μg/ml), thiophene-2-carboxylic acid hydrazide (1 μg/ml), rifampin (25
μg/ml), and p-nitrobenzoic acid (0.5 mg/ml). Susceptible to ethambutol (5 μglml) and hydroxylamine (500 μglml). Tolerant of 0.2%
picric acid and 0.1% NaNO2 in Sauton agar medium.

Positive results for acetamidase, beta-esterase, iron uptake, nitrate reduction, nicotinamidase, pyrazinamidase, and urease.
Acid is produced from glucose and mannose.
Can utilize as sole carbon source acetate, mannose, arabinose, xylose, inositol, mannitol, pyruvate, fructose, glucose, ethanol, and
propanol.
Negative results for arylsulfatase (3 days), semiquantitative catalase test, thermo-stable catalase (68 ºC), alpha-esterase,
beta-galactosidase, niacin accumulation, Tween 80 hydrolysis, benzamidase, isonicotinamidase, and succinamidase.
No utilization as sole carbon source of acetamide, benzoate, malate, malonate, fumarate, sucrose, galactose, rhamnose, sorbitol,
and trehalose.
Variable results for arylsulfatase (14 days), acid phosphatase, allantoinase, utilization of citrate and succinate.
