Arthrobacter protophormiae

Arthrobacter protophormiae is a bacteria belonging to the genus Arthrobacter. Formerly it was known as Brevibacterium protophormiae. It contains a glycolipid 3-[O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1→3)-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl]-sn-1,2-diglyceride (DMDG). It has peptidoglycan type A4α with a bridge of (Lys–Ala–L-Glu). It has unsaturated menaquinones, dominated by MK-8. It does not contain the lipid phosphatidylinositol.[1]

The species was described by O. Lysenko in 1959 with genus Brevibacterium.[2] B. protophormiae was reclassified in 1984 as Arthrobacter protophormiae.[3]

The cell wall of A. protophormiae contains a teichoic acid that contains glucose, glycerol, glucosamine and galactosamine.[4]
