Cells are Gram-staining-positive, flagellated and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, umbonate, entire and cream-colored after 5 days of incubation on TSA at 30°C. Positive for esculin hydrolysis. Weakly positive for nitrate reduction. Negative for indole production, fermentation of D- glucose, L- arginine and urea, gelatin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase activity. Utilizes D- glucose, D- mannitol, D- maltose, potassium gluconate and malate. Utilization of D- mannose is weak. Does not utilize L- arabinose, N -acetylglucosamine, caprate, adipate, trisodium citrate and phenylacetate. Strain BE2-15 (= NIBRBAC000498656) was isolated from tidal flat sediment.
