Arthrobacter oryzae sp. nov. and Arthrobacter humicola sp. nov. Kageyama, Akiko and Morisaki, Kurimi and Ōmura, Satoshi and Takahashi, Yoko,, 58, 53-56 (2008), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.64875-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Two novel bacterial strains were isolated from a paddy soil sample collected in Japan using GPM agar plates supplemented with superoxide dismutase and/or catalase. The strains were Gram-positive, catalase-positive and motile, with lysine as the peptidoglycan diagnostic diamino acid and acetyl as the peptidoglycan acyl type. The major menaquinone was MK-9(H2). Mycolic acids were not detected. The G+C content of the DNA was 66–68 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic analysis, 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons and DNA–DNA hybridization data, it is proposed that these strains represent two novel species, Arthrobacter oryzae sp. nov. (type strain is KV-651T=NRRL B-24478T=NBRC 102055T) and Arthrobacter humicola sp. nov. (type strain is KV-653T=NRRL B-24479T=NBRC 102056T), respectively., language=, type=
