Old synonym:
Arthrobacter echigonensis 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 light grey 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 3-5% (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.
