Abstract
A group of 21 bacterial strains was isolated from samples of biofilm formation in the Servilia tomb (necropolis of Carmona, Spain) and the Saint-Catherine chapel (castle at Herberstein, Austria). A polyphasic taxonomic study of these isolates, including morphological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic characterization, rep-PCR fingerprinting, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, DNA base ratio and DNA–DNA relatedness studies, allocated them to the genus Arthrobacter. The isolates represent six novel species, for which the names Arthrobacter castelli sp. nov., Arthrobacter monumenti sp. nov., Arthrobacter parietis sp. nov., Arthrobacter pigmenti sp. nov., Arthrobacter tecti sp. nov. and Arthrobacter tumbae sp. nov. are proposed. The respective type strains are LMG 22283T (=DSM 16402T), LMG 19502T (=DSM 16405T), LMG 22281T (=DSM 16404T), LMG 22284T (=DSM 16403T), LMG 22282T (=DSM 16407T) and LMG 19501T (=DSM 16406T).Keywords
