Kodama, Yukiko and Yamamoto, Hiroshi and Amano, Norihide and Amachi, Teruo,, 42, 234-239 (1992), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-42-2-234, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Arthrobacter oxydans DSM 419 and DSM 420 have chemical and microbiological properties that are consistent with assignment to the genus Arthrobacter. Both organisms have the lysine-alanine-threonine-alanine peptidoglycan type. DNA-DNA pairing studies indicated that A. oxydans DSM 419 should be reclassified as Arthrobacter ureafaciens and that A. oxydans DSM 420T forms the nucleus of a distinct genomic species. We propose that A. oxydans DSM 420 should be reclassified as Arthrobacter nicotinovorans sp. nov. The type strain is strain DSM 420., language=, type=
