Paraburkholderia terricola
|
Description is based mostly on API ZYM and API 20 NE results.
Positive results for acid and alkaline phosphatase, beta-galactosidase, leucine arylamidase, nitrate reduction, acid production from
glucose (weak reaction) and maltose.
Can assimilate L-arabinose, citrate (weak reaction), gluconate, D-mannose, mannitol, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, DL-lactate, sucrose,
and trehalose (weak reaction)
Negative results for chymotripsin, alpha-fucosidase, alpha- and beta-glucosidase, alpha-galactosidase, indole production,
N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, lipase C14, alpha-mannosidase, trypsin, tryptophanase, urease, acid production from xylose.
No assimilation of adipate and maltose.
