This species is positive for Lancefield group G, beta hemolysis, CAMP test, arginine deamination, esculin hydrolysis, alpha and beta galactosidase and growth in 6.5% NaCl and negative for beta glucuronidase, catalase and pyrrolidonylarylamidase. It can ferment maltose, mannose, ribose, salicin and sucrose but not amygdalin, arabinose, inulin, mannitol, melibiose, raffinose, xylose or sorbitol.
