Colonies on nutrient agar after 24 h incubation at 30 ºC are approximately 1.0-1.5 mm
in diameter, circular, convex, smooth and slightly opaque with entire margins. Growth
occurs at 37 ºC but not at 41 ºC. Non-haemolytic.

Positive results for utilization of : dl-Lactate, citrate (Simmons), azelate, D-malate,
ethanol and acetate. Glutarate, L-aspartate and 4-hydroxybenzoate usually utilized.
Negative results for gelatin hydrolysis, utilization of: DL-4-aminobutyrate, beta-alanine, L-histidine, malonate, histamine,
L-phenylalanine, phenylacetate, laevulinate, citraconate, L-tartrate, L-leucine and 2,3-butanediol. Acid is not produced from D-glucose.
