Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated and coccus-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex with entire edge and yellow-colored after 3 days on MA at 25°C. Positive for esculin hydrolysis and indole production, but negative for nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatinase and β -galactosidase. Does not utilize D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, Dmannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid.
