In the API 20NE strip, nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase activity and assimilation of D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose and D-maltose are positive, but indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease and gelatinase activities and assimilation of D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid are negative. Strain JJ9011 (= NIBRBA0000114162) has been isolated from a fresh water sample, Juwang Mountain, Cheongsong, Korea.
