Gram-negative rods. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are moist, showing a metallic shine. Grows on MacConkey agar and on
BCSA where turn the medium acidic. Growth is observed at 30, 37 and 42 ºC. Most
strains are yellow-pigmented. Non-haemolytic. Aerobic.

Positive results for lysine decarboxylase, aesculin hydrolysis, gelatin liquefaction,
beta-galactosidase, oxidase, acid production from: adonitol, glucose, sucrose,
maltose, lactose and xylose.
Can assimilate glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N-acetylglucosamine, D-gluconate, caprate, adipate, L-malate,
citrate and phenylacetate.
Negative results for arginine dihydrolase, nitrate reduction, ornithine decarboxylase, tryptophanase and urease.
No assimilation of maltose.
