Original Description
expand / minimize
Gram-negative rods that are motile by means of flagella. Cells test positive for methyl red, malonate, lysine decarboxylase and malonate, and test negative for Voges-Proskauer, indole, urea, hydrogen disulfide, citrate, ornithine decarboxylase, phenylalanine deaminase and DNase. Members in this genus produce acid from D-mannitol, L-arabinose, raffinose, L-rhamnose, D-xylose, trehalose, cellobiose and melibiose, but not from dulcitol, adonitol, myoinositol and D-sorbitol.
