In API 20NE test, positive for reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrogen (N 2), glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, and potassium gluconate; but negative for urease, reduction of nitrates (NO 3) to nitrite (NO 2 -), indole production on tryptophan, arginine dihydrolase, and gelatin hydrolysis. D- Glucose , L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N - acetyl-D- glucosamine, D- maltose, capric acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid were utilized; whereas adipic acid was not utilized.
