Here, we report the 4.12-Mb draft genome sequence of Arthrobacter sp. strain 7749, isolated from marine sediment samples of the Antarctic Peninsula, using enriched medium with (RS)-1-(4-phenyl)-ethanol as a carbon source. This genome sequence will provide relevant information for applications in enantioselective alcohol oxidation to improve industrial catalytic processes.

We report here the 4.3-Mb genome of Arthrobacter gangotriensis strain Lz1y(T), isolated from a penguin rookery soil sample collected in Antarctica, near the Indian station Dakshin Gangotri.

To investigate the involvement of lizard species in the natural cycle of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) in Hungary, a total of 186 reptiles belonging to three species--126 green lizards (Lacerta viridis), 40 Balkan wall lizards (Podarcis taurica), and 20 sand lizards (Lacerta agilis)--were captured in 2007 and 2008. All ticks removed from the lizards were Ixodes ricinus, either larvae (...

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 ...
