Species code:	ARTS2
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Actinobacteridae; Actinomycetales; Micrococcineae; Micrococcaceae; Arthrobacter (TaxID: 290399) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Arthrobacter species are apparently ubiquitous soil bacteria that have been studied because of their vast metabolic activities and survival in extreme environments. They are aerobic, Gram-positive bacteria with a high GC content and use a range of carbon sources. They are most often recognized morphologically by their jointed-rod to coccus growth cycle. They are classified into the class Actinobacteria, order Actinomycetales, and family Micrococcaceae. Arthrobacter sp. (strain FB24) was isolated from chromate and xylene enriched soil microcosms used to ascertain changes in microbial community composition under these stresses. This organism shows an extreme chromium tolerance, is resistant to other metals and radiations and is able to degrade some hydrocarbons. Its genome is made up of one chromosome and 3 plasmids.
