Colonies are convex, round, and yellow-colored after 3 days of incubation on R 2A at 25°C. Positive for esculin hydrolysis and cytochrome oxidase, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatinase, and β -galactosidase in the API 20NE test. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetylglucosamine, and D-maltose are utilized but D-mannitol, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid are not utilized. Strain Gsoil 130 ( = NIBRBAC 000498583) was isolated from a ginseng field, Anseong, Gyeonggi , Korea .
