Old synonym:
Arthrobacter aurescens strain CCM 2783.
Gram-positive irregular rods showing a rod-coccus cycle, 0.6-1.0 x 1.0–3.0 µm, and  
occurring in pairs as typical V-forms. Non-motile, Non-acid-fast. Non-spore-forming.
Growth occurs at 4-30 ºC. Grows in the presence of 5% (w/v) NaCl. The pH range for
growth is 5.7-9.1. Obligately aerobic.
Isolated from poultry litter.
Undetermined.
