Requirements  
Products ferments glucose, fructosem maltose, mannitols, rhamnose, sucrose, trehalose and xylose Sugars are fermented to acetic and lactic acids and sometimes formic acid. The major cellular fatty acids are straight chain saturated and unsaturated. Most strains produce H2S. Degrades uric acid to CO2, acetate and ammonia
