Colonies are circular, smooth, and yellow colored after 3 days of incubation at 25℃ on R2A agar. Positive for esculin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase activity. Negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, and arginine dihydrolase, urease, and gelatinase activities. D- Glucose and D- maltose are utilized. Does not utilize L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetylglucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain BT373 ( = NIBRBAC000503006) was isolated from a soil sample, Cheongdo, Korea .
