Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are Gram-negative, oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. They are rod-shaped with rounded ends, and are motile by means of peritrichous flagella. The strains are β-galactosidase-positive, produce acetoin but not hydrogen sulfide, and do not possess arginine dihydrolase, lysine decarboxyase, ornithine decarboxylase, urease or tryptophan desaminase. Glucose is fermented without gas production. Nitrate is reduced. Strains hydrolyse aesculin but not gelatin, Tween 80, casein or lecithin. They do not utilize citrate and malonate as carbon source and do not produce indole from tryptophan.
