Cells exhibited a rod–coccus growth cycle and produced a yellow pigment. Growth occurred at 1–25 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain S6-3T was related to members of the genus Arthrobacter, sharing highest sequence similarities with the type strains of Arthrobacter psychrolactophilus (97.9 %) and Arthrobacter stackebrandtii (97.6 %). Strain S6-3T had MK-9(H2) as the major menaquinone and anteiso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acid. The cell-wall peptidoglycan was of type A3α l-Lys–l-Thr–Ala3. The predominant cell-wall sugars were galactose and rhamnose. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain S6-3T was 61.9 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic characteristics, phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA relatedness data, strain S6-3T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Arthrobacter, for which the name Arthrobacter alpinus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S6-3T (=DSM 22274T =CGMCC 1.8950T).", }
