Abstract
Coryneform bacteria with LL-diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall were characterized. Morphological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics and DNA homologies revealed that they form an independent cluster among the coryneform bacteria. A new genus PIMELOBACTER is proposed for this group of coryneform bacteria. The type species of Pimelobacter is P. simplex comb. nov., which was previously named Arthrobacter simplex. P. jensenii sp. nov. and P. tumescens comb. nov. [formerly A. tumescens] are also described.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
