The colonies are cream-colored, circular, entire, and convex after incubation on Anaerobe basal medium at 30℃ for 3 days under anaerobic conditions. It is positive for urease (weak) and acidification of glucose, mannitol, saccharose, maltose, xylose, arabinose, cellobiose, mannose, raffinose, sorbitol, rhamnose, and trehalose; but negative for indole formation, acidification of lactose, salicin, glycerol, and melezitose, gelatinase, esculin hydrolysis, and cytochrome oxidase, per the analysis using the API 20A kit. Strain LPB0291 (= NIBRBAC000503337) was isolated from rabbit feces in Hasidong-ri, Gangdong-myeon, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea.
