Description of Arthrobacter luteolus LT2304

Cells are Gram-stain-positive and coccus-ovoidshaped. Colonies are circular, convex with entire margin, and beige colored after 7 days on TSA at 20° C. Nitrate is reduced and esculin is hydrolyzed. The strain shows positive reaction for enzyme activity of β -galactosidase, whereas the strain shows negative reactions for enzyme activities of arginine dihydrolase, gelatinase, urease, and oxidase. Indole is not produced and glucose is not fermented. The strain utilizes D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, phenylacetic acid, and malic acid, whereas the strain does not utilize capric acid and trisodium citrate. Strain LT 2304 (= NIBRBAC000501177) was isolated from a chicken intestine, Seoul Grand Park, Gyeonggi Province, Korea .

Description of Arthrobacter russicus JMn2

Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod shaped. Colonies are entire, smooth, circular, and cream colored after 3 days on R2 A at 25° C. Nitrate is not reduced and esculin is hydrolyzed. The strain shows positive reactions for enzyme activities of gelatinase and β -galactosidase, whereas the strain shows negative reactions for enzyme activities of arginine dihydrolase, urease, and oxidase. Indole is not produced and glucose is not fermented. The strain utilizes D-glucose, D-mannose, D-maltose D-mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, malic acid, adipic acid, and trisodium citrate, whereas the strain does not utilize L-arabinose, phenylacetic acid and capric acid. Strain JMn2 (= NIBRBAC000501118) was isolated from freshwater sediment, Juam, Suncheon, Jeollanam Province, Korea .
