Non-motile cells.
Can grow on nutrient agar and nutrient broth. Colonies on plates are circular, smooth,
glistening, and convex with a light yellow color. Colonies on yeast extract-peptone
media are pale gray, becoming yellow especially when incubated in diffuse daylight at
20 ºC. When supplied with biotin, cells grow in suitable mineral salts medium with an
ammonium salt as sole nitrogen source and with glucose ascarbon and energy
source. Optimum growth temperature is 28 ºC. No growth in the presence of 10%
NaCl. Nicotine blue is not produced from nicotine.
Isolated from soil.
Undetermined.

Can utilize L-arginine, L-asparagine, L-arabinose, D-galactose, D-glucose, D-ribose, D-xylose, histidinol, inositol, 4-aminobutyrate,
and hydroxybenzoate. Can assimilate citric acid, formic acid, glutaric acid, propionic acid, and uric acid.
Negative results for nitrate reduction and starch hydrolysis.
No utilization of L-histidine, L-leucine, L-rhamnose, butanediol, and malonate. No assimilation of adipic acid, benzoic acid, malonic
acid, or pimelic acid.
