Basonym:
Arthrobacter nitroguajacolicus Kotouckova et al. 2004.
Gram-positive irregular rods, club-shaped with typical V-forms, presenting a rod–
coccus life cycle. Cocci are 0.7-1 μm in diameter; rods are 0.6-1.0 x 1.0-4 μm. Motile.
Non-acid-fast. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are yellow, circular, convex and opaque. Not haemolytic. Growth occurs with
a suitable carbon source in mineral salts medium; no additional growth factors are
required. Obligately aerobic. Grows at 4-37 ºC (optimally at 25-30 ºC). Grows at pH
6.0-8.0 and in the presence of up to 6% NaCl. Can grow on nutrient agar, nutrient
broth, and MacConkey agar.
Isolated from chemically polluted soil and forest soil. 4-Nitrophenol and 4-nitroguaiacol degrading bacterium.
Undetermined.
