Table 2 Growth tests were performed with media supplied with 5 % NaCl (w/v) in either media. Determination of the optimal NaCl was done in MRS pH 5.7 after 48 h of incubation. Results of the API-CHL 50 test in API-CHL medium supplied with 2 % NaCl. All strains were able to produce acid from D-glucose, D-fructose, D-mannose, N-acetyl-Glucosamine, arbutin, Esculin/iron citrate, salicin, D-cellobiose, D-maltose, sucrose, D-trehalose, D-gentobiose, D-turanose. None of the strains could produce acid from erythritol, L-xylose, D-adonitol, methyl-beta-D-xylopyranosid, L-sorbose, L-rhamnose, dulcitol, inositol, inulin, adonitol, glycogen, xylitol, D-lyxose, D-fucose, L-fucose, L-arabitol, potassium gluconate, potassium-2-ketogluconate, potassium-5-ketogluconate; +, positive reaction; w, weak reaction; -, negative reaction; ND, not determined
