Gram-negative rods.
Colonies on blood agar after 24 h of incubation at 30 ºC are pin-point, circular, slightly
convex, smooth and glistening with slight beta-haemolysis visible only under the
colony. Optimum temperature for growth is 28-30 ºC. Growth can occur at 25 and 37
ºC but not at 12 or 42 ºC. Growth occurs at 1-5% NaCl but not at 6% or above.
Facultatively anaerobic.

Isolated from diseased fish.

Positive results for catalase, lysine decarboxylase, malonate utilization, nitrate reduction, ornithine decarboxylase, acid production
from: maltose, mannose and glucose (usually with gas production).
Negative results for arginine dihydrolase, citrate utilization (Simmons), DN-ase, esculin hydrolysis, gelatinase, beta-galactosidase,
beta-glucuronidase, lipase (Tween 80), oxidase, L-pyrrolidonyl aminopeptidase, phenylalanine deaminase,growth in KCN medium,
urease (Christensen), Voges-Proskauer, acid production from: amygdalin, adonitol, D-arabitol, alpha-methyl-D-glucoside,
D-cellobiose, dulcitol, inositol, lactose, melibiose, raffinose, L-rhamnose, D-sorbitol and D-xylose.
Variable resultsfor degradation of Tween 80, L-fucose, D-galactose, maltose, D-mannose, bromosuccinic acid,
glucoronamide,L-asparagine, L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, glycyl-L-glutamic acid, glycyl-L-aspartic acid, L-serine, uridine,
glycerol and D,L-alpha-glycerol phosphate.
E. piscicida can only be differentiated from E. tarda by degradation of alpha-methyl-D-glucoside, citric acid and L-proline.
