+, good growth; +, weaker growth; b, near background growth; −, negative growth. Very poor growth occurred on all substrates for DIII4* under air during repeated tries; therefore, no data are given. Abbreviations for substrates (all 10 mM in mineral agar) are as follows: Fo, formate; Ac, acetate; Pp, propionate; Bu, butyrate; bB, beta-hydroxybutyrate; Py, pyruvate; La, lactate; Ci, citrate; aK, alpha-ketoglutarate; Sc, succinate; Mt, malate; Ta, tartrate; Gl, glucose; Ga, d-galactose; Fr, fructose; Ri, d-ribose; Xy, xylose; Su, sucrose; Ml, maltose; Lc, lactose; Gl, glutamate; Pr, l-proline; Mi, d-mannitol; Gy, glycerol; Et, ethanol.
