Cells are aerobic, Gram­staining­positive, flagellated and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex and yellow colored after incubation for 3 days on R2 A agar at 25℃. In the API 20NE system, positive reaction for nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, hydrolysis of esculin and gelatin and utilization of D-glucose, D-mannose, D­mannitol, D­maltose and potassium gluconate. In the API 20NE system, negative reaction for indole production, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, β-galactosidase activity, oxidase activity and utilization of L-arabinose, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain N40 (= NIBRBAC000503417) was isolated from ginseng­cultivated soil in Yeongju, Gyeongsangbuk Province, Korea (36°53′51.5″N 128°28′02.3″E).
