Terrabacter tumescens is a species of Gram-positive, mesophilic bacteria. Young cells are long rods, and older cultures are coccoid. [1] It was first described in 1934, and its name is derived from Latin tume (from tumefacere, to make swollen), referencing how older cells swell and break off new cells. It was initially isolated from soil. [2] The optimum growth temperature for T. tumescens is 25-30 °C and can grow in the 10-35 °C range. [1]
The species was originally classified as Corynebacterium tumescens in 1934. [2] In 1947, it was reclassified into the newly revived genus Arthrobacter as Arthrobacter tumescens. [3] In 1982, the species was again reclassified into the novel genus Pimelobacter , and was named Pimelobacter tumescens. [4] Finally, in 1989, the species was classified into the novel and current genus, Terrabacter. [1]
Corynebacterium is a genus of bacteria that are Gram-positive and aerobic. They are bacilli (rod-shaped), and in some phases of life they are, more particularly, club-shaped, which inspired the genus name.
Halomonadaceae is a family of halophilic Proteobacteria.
Brevibacterium is a genus of bacteria of the order Actinomycetales. They are Gram-positive soil organisms. It is the sole genus in the family Brevibacteriaceae.
Arcanobacterium is a genus of bacteria. They are gram-positive, non–acid fast, nonmotile, facultatively anaerobic, and non–endospore forming. They are widely distributed in nature in the microbiota of animals and are mostly innocuous. Some can cause disease in humans and other animals. As with various species of a microbiota, they usually are not pathogenic but can occasionally opportunistically capitalize on atypical access to tissues or weakened host defenses.
Pseudarthrobacter chlorophenolicus, also known as Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus, is a species of bacteria capable of degrading high concentrations of 4-chlorophenol, hence its name. As such. It may be useful in bioremediation. Its type strain is DSM 12829T.
Glutamicibacter soli, also known as Arthrobacter soli, is a species of Gram-positive bacteria. Its type strain is SYB2T.
Paeniglutamicibacter cryotolerans, also known as Arthrobacter cryotolerans, is a species of bacteria. It is psychrotolerant, halotolerant, Gram-positive, motile and facultatively anaerobic. It possesses a rod–coccus cycle. Its type strain is LI3T (= DSM 22826T = NCCB 100315T).
Paeniglutamicibacter antarcticus, its old name is Arthrobacter antarcticus, is a species of bacteria. It is Gram-positive, motile, aerobic and has a rod–coccus cycle. SPC26T is the type strain.
Pseudoglutamicibacter cumminsii is a species of Gram-positive bacteria.
Trueperella pyogenes is a species of bacteria that are nonmotile, facultatively anaerobic, and gram-positive. The cells typically measure 0.5 by 2.0 μm. They appear as pleomorphic or coccoid rods. They tend to be grouped singly, or in short chains. Sometimes, they are grouped into V-shaped pairs.
Paenarthrobacter aurescens, also known as Arthrobacter aurescens, is a bacterium species from the genus of Paenarthrobacter . Paenarthrobacter aurescens produces nitrilase and L-N-carbamoylase. Paenarthrobacter aurescens has a low GC-content and has the ability to utilize anethole.
Pseudarthrobacter defluvii, with the old name Arthrobacter defluvii, is a bacterium species from the genus of Pseudarthrobacter which has been isolated from sewage from the Geumho River near Daegu in Korea. Arthrobacter defluvii has the ability to degrade 4-chlorophenol.
Paenarthrobacter histidinolovorans, with its old name Arthrobacter histidinolovorans, is a bacterium species from the genus of Paenarthrobacter which has been isolated from soil. Paenarthrobacter histidinolovorans produces histidinol dehydrogenase.
Paenarthrobacter nicotinovorans, also known as Arthrobacter Nicotinovorans, is a Gram-positive and aerobic bacterium species from the genus of Paenarthrobacter. Before the year 2016, this bacterium species was said to be a species of Arthrobacter genus. The bacterium species is reclassified in 2016 to be a member of Paenarthrobacter. Therefore it had a new name as Paenarthrobacter nicotinovorans. This bacterium has the ability to degrade atrazine, nicotine and creatine. and produces nicotine dehydrogenase
Paenarthrobacter nitroguajacolicus, other name of its is Arthrobacter nitroguajacolicus, is a bacterium species from the genus of Paenarthrobacter which has been isolated from soil in the Czech Republic. Arthrobacter nitroguajacolicus has the ability to degrade 4-nitroguaiacol.
Arthrobacter protophormiae is a bacteria belonging to the genus Arthrobacter. Formerly it was known as Brevibacterium protophormiae. It contains a glycolipid 3-[O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1→3)-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl]-sn-1,2-diglyceride (DMDG). It has peptidoglycan type A4α with a bridge of (Lys–Ala–L-Glu). It has unsaturated menaquinones, dominated by MK-8. It does not contain the lipid phosphatidylinositol.
Paenarthrobacter ilicis, its old name is Arthrobacter ilicis, is a bacterium species from the genus of Paenarthrobacter. Before the year 2016, this bacterium species was said to be a species of Arthrobacter genus. The bacterium species is reclassified in 2016 to be a member of Paenarthrobacter. Therefore it had a new name as Paenarthrobacter ilicis.
Paenarthrobacter ureafaciens, a species of Paenarthrobacter genus. Polar lipid profile of this species is an unknown.
Terrabacter is a genus of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, non-sporeforming bacteria. The genus name is derived from Latin terra (earth), referring to the type species' original isolation from soil. The genus was first proposed in 1989; however, the type species Terrabacter tumescens was originally described in 1934, and had previously been classified in the genera Corynebacterium, Arthrobacter, and Pimelobacter. Terrabacter species have been isolated from soil, air and stone.
Terrabacter terrae is a species of Gram-positive, nonmotile, non-endosporeforming bacteria. Cells are long, irregular rods. It was initially isolated from soil mixed with Iberian pig hair from Spain. The species was first described in 2005, and its name is derived from terrae. The species was discovered during a survey for bacteria with keratinase activity. T. terrae was the second species added to the genus Terrabacter after the type species, T. tumescens, was added to the novel genus in 1989.
