Table 2 Phenotypes of X. bovienii bacterial strains^a

^aPhenotypic testing of primary and secondary form X. bovienii bacterial strains. Each result is given as the form that produces that activity: Primary – activity in primary form only (blue), Secondary – activity in secondary form only (pink), Both – activity in primary and secondary forms (purple), or None – no activity in either form (no fill)
^bThe bacterial strain tested
^cSwimming motility detected as motility through soft agar (0.5 % LB agar)
^dSwarming motility detected as motility on top of semi-solid agar (0.7 % LB agar)
^eLipase activity as detected on Tween 20 agar
^fLecithinase activity as detected on egg yolk agar
^gProtease activity as detected on milk agar
^hSiderophore activity as detected activity on CAS plates
ⁱHemolysin activity as detected on horse blood agar or rabbit blood agar;
^jAntibiotic activity as detected by antibiotic overlay assays
