Abstract
The taxonomic position of Arthrobacter siderocapsulatus Dubinina and Zhdano v 1975(AL) was investigated using 16S rDNA, fatty acid and phenotypic analy ses. The type strain (NCIMB 11286(T)) showed 99.85 % 16S rDNA similarity to the type strain of Pseudomonas putida. Phenotypic properties of the two st rains were compared using API 20NE and BIOLOG kits. Identical reactions wer e recorded for all tests, except for assimilation of malonic acid. The two strains also showed almost identical cellular fatty acid profiles. On the b asis of evidence presented in this and earlier studies, it is proposed that Arthrobacter siderocapsulatus is a later subjective synonym of Pseudomonas putida (Trevisan 1889) Migula 1895(AL).
