Arthrobacter deserti

Arthrobacter deserti is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterium species from the genus Arthrobacter which has been isolated from desert soil from the Turpan desert in China.^[1][2][3][4] The type strain for this specific bacterium is YIM CS25T.^[1] Arthrobacter deserti contains lysine in its peptidoglycan layer.^[1] This species of Arthrobacter is aerobic.^[1] The cells were non-sporulating and rod-to-coccus shaped.^[1] The cells are known to use at least 36 different types of carbon sources.^[1] The predominant menaquinone is MK-9(H₂).^[1] The genomic DNA G+C content of the type strain is 68.3 mol%.^[1]
