A fourth biotype, Microtus, describes Medievalis isolates lacking arabinose fermentation.
The following biochemical tests were performed on the isolates displaying pyrrolidonyl-arylamidase activity: mannitol, arabinose, sorbitol, raffinose, lactose, and sucrose carbohydrate fermentation tests; arginine deamination; acidification of methyl-[alpha]-D-glucopyranoside; pyruvate utilization; and isolate pigmentation.
