NG, no growth; T, typical colony; AT, atypical colony. A typical colony on FCA was yellow to yellow-green and surrounded by a pale yellow zone (diameter, 2 to 7 mm). A typical colony on VRBL was fuchsia with a diameter of approximately 0.5 mm and possibly surrounded by a reddish-fuchsia zone of 1 to 2 mm in diameter.
