Old synonym:
Arthrobacter albidus Ding, Hirose and Yokota 2009.
Gram-positive cells, showing a rod-coccus growth cycle. Nonmotile. Spore not formed.
Colonies are round, convex, glossy, with entire margins and are white or light yellow.
Growth occurs on nutrient broth agar at 10-40 ºC, optimal temperature for growth is 30
ºC. Grows in the presence of 3-7% (w/v) NaCl, but no growth  occurs in the presence
of 7% NaCl. The pH range for growth is 6-10, and the optimum pH is 7.
Isolated from a filtration substrate made from volcanic rock from Niigata, Japan.
Undetermined.

Description is based mostly on API Coryne, API 20E, API 50 CHB, and API ZYM (bioMerieux) results.

Positive results for acid phosphatase (weak), arginine dihydrolase (weak), cystine arylamidase, esterase lipase C8, esterase C4
(weak), beta-galactosidase, alpha-glucosidase, beta-glucosidase, leucine arylamidase, alpha-mannosidase, pyrazinamidase,
pyrrolidonyl arylamidase, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, Tween 80 hydrolysis, urease, and valine arylamidase.
Can utilize ribose and mannitol. Weak results for the utilization of glucose, xylose, and sucrose.
API 50CHB acid production from: N-acetylglucosamine, L-arabinose, arbutin, cellobiose, esculin, L-fucose, D-galactose, D-glucose,
glycerol, lactose, maltose, mannitol, D-mannose, methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside, L-rhamnose, D-ribose, salicin, D-tagatose,
trehalose, and D-xylose

Negative results for catalase, indole production, H
2S production, oxidase, nitrate reduction, alpha-fucosidase, hydrolysis of gelatin,
lipase C14, alpha-chymotrypsin, alpha-galactosidase, tryptophan deaminase, ornithine decarboxylase, lysine decarboxylase, and
N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase.
No utilization of citrate, maltose, lactose, and glycogen.
No acidification in API 50 CHB: D-arabinose, D-adonitol, amygdalin, arabitol, dulcitol, erythritol, D-fucose, D-fructose, glycogen,
gentiobiose, methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside, gluconate, 2- or 5-ketogluconate, inositol,  inulin, D-melibiose, D-melezitose, D-lyxose,
D-raffinose, starch, D-sorbitol, L-sorbose, D-sucrose, turanose, methyl beta-D-xylopyranoside, xylitol, and L-xylose.

Variable (contradictory) results for alkaline phosphatase, beta-glucuronidase, trypsin and urease.
