Survival of Arthrobacter crystallopoietes during prolonged periods of extreme desiccation.

Olefinic Hydrocarbons Biosynthesized by Arthrobacter Species †

Arthrobacter aurescens TC1, Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6, Arthrobacter crystallopoietes, and Arthrobacter oxydans produce long-chain monoalkenes, predominantly cis-3,25-dimethyl-13-heptacosene. Four other Arthrobacter strains did not form alkenes. The level of cis-3,25-dimethyl-13-heptacosene in Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6 remained proportional to cell mass during growth. cis-3,25-Dime...

Activity of an autolytic N-acetylmuramidase during sphere-rod morphogenesis in Arthrobacter crystallopoietes.

Nutritional Control of Morphogenesis in Arthrobacter Crystallopietes.

Ensign, Jerald C. (University of Illinois, Urbana), and R. S. Wolfe. Nutritional control of morphogenesis in Arthrobacter crystallopoietes. J. Bacteriol. 87:924-932. 1964.-Arthrobacter crystallopoietes exhibits the cyclic, morphological variation which is a characteristic of this genus. A simple chemically defined medium was developed in which this organism is restricted to growth and division ...

Draft Genome Sequence of Arthrobacter crystallopoietes Strain BAB-32, Revealing Genes for Bioremediation

Arthrobacter crystallopoietes strain BAB-32, a Gram-positive obligate aerobic actinobacterium having potential application in bioremediation and bioreduction of a few metals, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. The draft genome (4.3 Mb) of the strain revealed a few vital gene clusters involved in the metabolism of aromatic compounds, zinc, and sulfur.

Regulation of cyclic AMP levels in Arthrobacter crystallopoietes and a morphogenetic mutant.

The extracellular levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP), cAMP phosphodiesterase activity, and adenylate cyclase activity were measured at various intervals during growth and morphogenesis of Arthrobacter crystallopoietes. There was a significant rise in the extracellular cAMP level at the onset of stationary phase, and this rise coincided with a decrease in intracellular cAMP. The phosphodiesterase activ...
