Overview

  • Arthrobacter russicus is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 65.5%. Arthrobacter russicus is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Li2004)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces and space station air samples. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Can't grow at 37C, so unlikely to be a gut coloniser.
    • GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS (Li2004);
    Character Response
  • 🌡
  • Temperature tolerance:
  • grows at 30℃; doesn't grow at 37℃;
  • ⥅
  • Substrates assimilated or utilised:
  • fructose; glucose; glycerol; mannose; psicose; putrescine; methyl pyruvate;
  • ±
  • Strain-dependent substrate utilisation:
  • pyruvate; uridine;
    • SPECIAL FEATURES (Li2004);
    Character Response
  • ✗
  • Nitrate:
  • not reduced
