“…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.…”

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.

“…Earlier studies reported that Brevibacterium linens represented 30 % of the bacterial microflora on the surface of smear-ripened cheese (ElErian, 1969 ;Brandl, 1980 ;Busse, 1989). The importance of bacteria other than B. linens in the ripening process has been emphasized by Mulder et al (1966), El-Erian (1969) and Sauter (1986), but few studies on the identification of the species present on the surface of smear-ripened cheese have been published. The coryneform bacteria that occur on the surface of Brick, …”

Phenotypic and phylogenetic studies were performed on 11 strains of a Microbacterium-like organism isolated from the surface of a smear-ripened cheese. The isolates were Gram-positive, catalase-positive, facultatively anaerobic, oxidase-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile, small, slender rods and grew in 12 % (w/v) NaCl. Chemotaxonomic investigation revealed that all the isolates belonged unambiguously to the genus Microbacterium. They contained type B1 peptidoglycans with L-lysine as the diamino acid and glycolyl acyl types ; rhamnose and galactose were the cell wall sugars. The GMC content ranged from 69 to 72 mol %. The major menaquinones were MK-11 and MK-12 and the major fatty acids were anteiso C15 :0 and C17 :0 and iso C16 :0. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA sequences of four isolates showed that they represented a new subline in the genus Microbacterium, with Microbacterium barkeri as their nearest phylogenetic neighbour. M. barkeri showed the highest sequence similarity to the isolates ; however, DNA-DNA hybridization showed that the isolates had only 38 % chromosomal similarity to M. barkeri. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic distinctiveness of the isolates, it is proposed that they be classified as a new Microbacterium species, for which the name Microbacterium gubbeenense sp. nov. is suggested. The type strain has been deposited as LMG S-19263 T ( l NCIMB 30129 T ). The GenBank accession number for the 16S rDNA sequence of the type strain is AF263563.

“…Lately, there has been a tendency to stress morphological characteristics such as pleomorphism and formation of cystites (3)(4)(5)20). KOMAGATA et al (9) found that most species of the genus Arthrobacter showed bending-type cell division, and they proposed to regard this characteristic as a taxonomic one.…”
