In the API 20NE test, positive for indole production on tryptophan, urease, D-glucose, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid; weak positive for esculin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase; but negative for gelatin hydrolysis, D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, reduction of nitrates (NO 3 ) to nitrite (NO 2 - ), reduction of nitrates (NO 3 ) to nitrogen (N 2 ), glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, N -acetyl-D-glucosamine, capric acid, and adipic acid. In the API 32GN test, positive for N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-saccharose (sucrose), D-maltose, sodium malonate, sodium acetate, lactic acid, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, D-glucose, D-melibiose, propionic acid, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, D-ribose, suberic acid, glycogen, salicin, valeric acid, trisodium citrate, L-histidine, and L-proline; but negative for L-rhamnose, D-mannitol, L-arabinose, potassium 2-ketogluconate, inositol, itaconic acid, D-fucose, capric acid, and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. Strain BT53 (= NIBRBAC000502699) was isolated from a soil sample, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, Korea .
