aAPI 50CH identification system measures acid production from carbon sources: +, positive reaction, −, negative reaction; (+), week or delayed reaction; empty field if not tested
bBIOLOG phenotype microarrays measure the level of cell redox activity: +, the score > 50; −, the score < 18 (negative control = 18)
cGrowth experiments were done in an MRS medium without citrate anaerobically and aerobically: +, the OD600 FC > 5 in comparison with the control; −, no growth observed
dFor pyruvate very weak (FC ~ 1.7), but statistically significant anaerobic growth promotion was observed in comparison with the control
eTested only for inosine
