Proteolytic activity of Gram-negative bacteria on agar supplemented with milk * and gelatin**.-: no activity (absence of clear areas around the colony); +: positive activity, presence of clear areas around the colony. Degradation zone on specific supplements (cm): - (0); + (0.1-0.3); ++ (0.4-0.6); +++ (0.7-1.0). * Reported positive for nitrate reduction (Gitaitis et al., 2003; Villalobo et al., 1977; Brenner et al., 2015); * Reported positive for amylase (genome.jp/kegg-bin/show_pathway?pae00500).
