Colonies are circular, slightly convex, glistening and light yellowish pink colored after incubation for 3 days on R2 A agar at 25℃. In the API 20NE system, positive reaction for hydrolysis of esculin and gelatin, β-galactosidase activity and utilization of D-glucose, L­arabinose, D­mannose and D­maltose. In the API 20NE system, negative reaction for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease activity, oxidase activity and utilization of D-mannitol, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. Strain BSSP­R25 (= NIBRBAC000503329) was isolated from tidal flat sediment in Boryeong, Chungcheongnam Province, Korea (36°20′15″N 126°53′93″E).
