چکیده

Arthrobacter are very common in many soils and are readily isolated in laboratory media and so they have been isolated extensively from soils. There are many species known and this chapter offers a detailed description of the Arthrobacter genus. This entry describes Arthrobacter species with an emphasis on the ability of many of the strains to transform anthropogenic chemicals into less toxic products. There are very many Arthrobacter species listed on this taxonomic site. Arthrobacter globiformis is the type strain. At one time, it was considered that Arthrobacter are obligate aerobes, but this study demonstrated that some Arthrobacter can grow on nitrate as the final electron acceptor under anaerobic conditions. This database contains information on phages of Acti-nobacteria. The specific page referenced contains lists of phages of Arthrobacter. Arthrobacter are very often associated with cheese ripening and the most common species isolated is A. ari-laitensis. Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus metabolizes chlorophe-nols, including the highly toxic pentachlorophenol. This page is the entry for information on the genome of this organism. This link is for a thesis on the biodegradative strain Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus.

Comparative genome analysis reveals the molecular basis of nicotine degradation and survival capacities of Arthrobacter

Arthrobacter is one of the most prevalent genera of nicotine-degrading bacteria; however, studies of nicotine degradation in Arthrobacter species remain at the plasmid level (plasmid pAO1). Here, we report the bioinformatic analysis of a nicotine-degrading Arthrobacter aurescens M2012083, and show that the moeB and mogA genes that are essential for nicotine degradation in Arthrobacter are absen...

Phylogenetic and physiological diversity of Arthrobacter strains isolated from unconsolidated subsurface sediments.

Forty strains of Gram-positive, aerobic, heterotrophic bacteria isolated from saturated subsurface lacustrine, paleosol and fluvial sediments at the US Department of Energy's Hanford Site in south central Washington State were characterized by phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences and by determination of selected morphological, physiological and biochemical traits. Phylogenetic analy...

Cometabolism of m-chlorobenzoate by an Arthrobacter.

Twenty isolates representing nine bacterial genera were obtained from enrichment cultures and were shown to cometabolize one or more of 22 substituted benzoates. One of the isolates, an Arthrobacter sp., cometabolized m-chlorobenzoate to a product identified as 4-chlorocatechol by thin-layer chromatography and ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy. The data indicate that cometabolism by the art...

Characterization of Quorum Sensing and Quorum Quenching Soil Bacteria Isolated from Malaysian Tropical Montane Forest

We report the production and degradation of quorum sensing N-acyl-homoserine lactones by bacteria isolated from Malaysian montane forest soil. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that these isolates clustered closely to the genera of Arthrobacter, Bacillus and Pseudomonas. Quorum quenching activity was detected in six isolates of these three genera by using a series of bioassays and rapid resolutio...

Physicochemical cell surface and adhesive properties of coryneform bacteria related to the presence and chain length of mycolic acids.

The presence and chain length of mycolic acids of bacteria of the genera Corynebacterium, Rhodococcus, Gordona, Mycobacterium, and Arthrobacter and of coryneform bacteria containing a type B peptidoglycan were related to the cell surface hydrophobicity of the bacteria, which in turn was related to adhesion of the cells to defined surfaces such as Teflon and glass. The origin of the overall nega...
