Abstract
The genus Arthrobacter was established in 1947 by Conn & Dimmick. So far, more than 70 recognized species of the genus Arthrobacter have been certified. Its special functions have been widely known by researchers, such as, in agricultural, in medical, in industrial, and in environmental areas, etc. What deserves to be mentioned is that some species of genus Arthrobacter have showed the function of degrading pesticides, fixing nitrogen, producing beneficial enzyme, treating sewage, and so on. Recently, the applications of the genus Arthrobacter, especially the VBNC (viable but non-culturable) bacteria of this genus in the field of contaminated environment repair attract people’s attention and some related research results have also been obtained. The functions that we have known are waiting for us to study about mechanism, deeply. And, we can look forward to discovering more potential functions and applications of this genus in ecological environment. In the meantime, these discoveries must bring more new changes and knowledge.
Highlights
The genus Arthrobacter was established by Conn and Dimmick, which is one of the most common genera in soil [1]
We introduce some VBNC bacteria isolated from soil, sewages, identified as Arthrobacter by adding resuscitation promoting factor (Rpf) that are secreted by Micrococcus luteus, and study on some functions in environmental areas
VBNC Arthrobacter spp. strains, they have strong repairing effects on ecologically environment polluted, provide a new scientific evidence for the vital role that microorganism plays in the field of environmental pollution repair and environmental protection, bring a new approach to dealing with the serious environmental pollution
Summary
The genus Arthrobacter was established by Conn and Dimmick, which is one of the most common genera in soil [1]. Their G + C content of DNA is 59% - 70%; the representative species of the genus is Arthrobacter globisformis. We introduce some VBNC bacteria isolated from soil, sewages, identified as Arthrobacter by adding Rpf (resuscitation promoting factor) that are secreted by Micrococcus luteus, and study on some functions in environmental areas. All these have been showed that the genus Arthrobacter bacteria are a very active member in the ecological environment, and become the indispensable part of today’s society; these discoveries must bring more new changes for us
