The isolates are nonmotile, saccharolytic, nontoxic, nonhemolytic, and non-proteolytic. They reduce sulfite and nitrite and produce urease but no lecithinase or lipase; the major organic acids produced in peptone-glucose cultures are acetic and formic. American Type Culture Collection no. 27791, GD-1, is designated the type strain %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-24-4-478
