Historical synonym: Arthrobacter niigatensis Ding et al. 2009.
Gram-positive cells showing a rod-coccus growth cycle. Non-spore-forming.
Non-motile.
Colonies are round, convex, glossy, with entire margins and are light grey or light
yellow. Produces non-fluorescent pigment. Growth occurs on nutrient broth agar at 5–
40 ºC (optimally at 30 ºC), in the presence of 3-7% (w/v) NaCl and pH 6-11 (optimally
at pH 7.5). Aerobic.
Isolated from a filtration substrate made from volcanic rock from Niigata, Japan.
Undetermined.

Description is based on API Coryne and API ZYM results. It is unclear if the sugars from API Coryne test are fermented or utilized
(admin note).
Positive results for acid and alkaline phosphatase, catalase, cystine arylamidase (weak), esterase C4, esterase lipase C8,
beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha- and beta-glucosidase, gelatin hydrolyss, leucine arylamidase, alpha-mannosidase,
nitrate reduction, naphthol AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, pyrazinamidase, pyrrolidonyl arylamidase, trypsin, urease, valine arylamidase,
acid production from glucose and mannitol (weak).
Can utilize (API Coryne) glucose, glycogen (weak), lactose, sucrose, mannitol (weak), ribose, and xylose (weak).
Negative results for alpha-fucosidase, alpha-galactosidase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, alpha-chymotrypsin, lipase C14,
oxidase, acid production from galactose and maltose.
No utilization of maltose.
