Colonies grown on R2 A agar are white, circular, convex, and smooth. Oxidase activity is positive. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for nitrate reduction; hydrolysis of aesculin and gelatin; β -galactosidase activity; and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannitol, D- maltose, and malic acid, but negative for indole production; glucose fermentation; activity of arginine dihydrolase and urease; and assimilation of D- mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain BT366 ( = NIBRBAC000503003) was isolated from a soil sample collected from Seoul , Republic of Korea ( 37°37 ʹ 48.8 ʺ N , 127°05 ʹ 22.6 ʺ E ).
