Acid production from glucose - positive. Acid production from mannitol, arabinose,
xylose - negative
Catalase, starch hydroysis and decomposition of urea are positive.
Reduction of nitrate to nitrite is variable.
Decomposition of tyrosine, Voges-Proskauer, Resistance to lysozyme, citrate
utilization, indole, deamination of phenylalanine are negative.
Can utilize methylamine as source of both carbon and nitrogen.
