“…The similarity of B. linens to members of Avthrobacter has already been noted by several workers (e.g. Schefferle, 1957;Mulder & Antheunisse, 1963;Mulder, 1964;Mulder et al 1966) andDa Silva &Holt (1965) and suggested that it be renamed Arthrobacter linens. If the results of previous work are taken with those obtained in the present study, it would seem that B. linens, whilst differing in several respects from A. globiformis, should nevertheless be contained in the same genus as the latter.…”

“…Whilst such a morphological cycle may be a prerequisite for the genus Arthrobacter, our results show that it is by no means restricted to this genus. Indeed, its occurrence in the coryneform group seems to be the rule rather than the exception (Veldkamp, 1970) and it has been observed in many coryneform organisms including Cellulomonas and Corynebacterium diphtheriae, albeit less strikingly than in 'typical ' arthrobacters (0rskov, 1923;Grubb & Koser, 1934;Jensen, 1952;Gibson, 1953;Miiller, 1957;Kuhn & Starr, 1962;Mulder & Antheunisse, 1963). Keddie et al (1966) commented upon the unreliability of the 'life-cycle' as a definitive criterion for the recognition of Arthrobacter species, concluding that the creation of a separate genus on morphological grounds alone was not justified.…”

SUMMARYNumerical analysis has been carried out on I I O features of 158 named and unnamed coryneform bacteria. At the 30 yo S-level, four phena of unequal size were formed, the largest of which (phenon II) was divided into two subphena at the 45% S-level representing the genera Arthrobacter and Nocardiu. Phenon III was divided into two subphena at the 45 % S-level (IIIA and IIIB). Subphenon IIIA was made up largely of Gram-positive strains received as Flavobacterium. Subphenon IIIB contained a variety of strains including a group of cellulomonas-like organisms. Phenon IV was divided into two subphena at the 35% S-level representing the animal-pathogenic corynebacteria and Microbacterium j?avum respectively. Phenon V contained six strains of which five were plant pathogenic corynebacteria. DNA base composition determinations were carried out on representative strains and the values obtained generally correlated well with the numerical groupings. Considerable reorganization of most coryneform genera was considered necessary and suggestions for the reclassification of species and of particular strains have been made.

“…This unevenness of effort refl ects, in part, the difficulty in growing many of the organisms. The necessary growth condi tions vary from simple defi ned media, with perhaps a readily discernable requirement for vitamins (30,84,121), amino acids (120), or siderochromes (15,51,57,107,126), to enormously complex media, especially for myco bacteria. Another reason for the paucity of information on many of the genera is the natural reluctance of physiologists to work on bacteria whose taxonomic position is still very much a matter of controversy.…”
