Reclassification of two strains of Arthrobacter oxydans and proposal of Arthrobacter nicotinovorans sp. nov.
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.
