Abstract excerpt
Two Arthrobacter strains, CA15-8(T) and CA15-9, were isolated from soil, under alkali conditions, and characterized phenotypically, chemotaxonomically and genetically. These alkalitolerant organisms grew over a wide pH range (pH 7.0-12.0), with an optimum at pH 7.0-8.0. The mean G+C content of the DNA of these strains was 63+/-2 mol%. The strains contained MK-8(H(2)) and MK-9(H(2)) as the main respiratory...
