| Paraburkholderia phytofirmans |
Description is based mostly on API 20 NE results.
Positive results for acid and alkaline phosphatase, C8-esterase lipase and leucine arylamidase, catalase, beta-galactosidase
(PNPG) and oxidase.
Can assimilate lactose, L-arabinose, phenylacetate, fructose, glucose, xylose, arabinose, mannose, mannitol, N-acetylglucosamine,
gluconate, adipate and malate.
Negative results for arginine dihydrolase, DNase, esculin hydrolysis, alpha-fucosidase, gelatin hydrolysis, alpha-glucosidase, alpha-
and beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, H2S production (in TSI agar), indole production, alpha-mannosidase, nitrate reduction,
ornithine decarboxylase, urease, acid production from D-glucose, maltose & D-xylose.
No utilization of lactate, maltose, sucrose and trehalose.
Variable results for the utilization of caprate, citrate and phenylacetate.
