Arthrobacter protophormiae (Lysenko 1959) Stackebrandt et al. 1984.
Slightly club-shaped rods with rounded ends (0.6-0.8 x 0.8-2.0 µm) occurring singly or
in irregular groups in young culture and spherical cells in older than 2 days culture.
Colonies on nutrient agar show a pale to sulfur yellow, producing a non-diffusible
pigment. Optimum growth temperature is 30 ºC. Resistant to 7% NaCl.
Isolated from soil and Protophormia terraenovae fly.
Undetermined.
