An efficient host-vector system has been developed for an industrial strain of Arthrobacter sp. (NRRL B3728) used for glucose isomerase production.
...
Arthrobacter is a member of the Gram-positive coryneform bacteria that have useful properties such as production of erythromycin (Roberts et al., 1985) or glucose isomerase (Reynolds, 1973), or degradation of nicotine (Brandsch et al., 1986) or benzonitrile (Bandyopadhyay et al., 1986)..

Arthrobacter sp. strain NO-18 was first isolated from soil as a bacterium which could degrade the sodium acrylate oligomer and utilize it as the sole source of carbon.
...
In this report, we present the characteristics of microbial degradation of the sodium acrylate oligomer byArthrobacter sp. strain NO-18.
...
Our results demonstrate that Arthrobacter sp. strain NO-18, which was isolated from soil, has a remarkable ability to degrade the sodium acrylate oligomer. This bacterium is the first strain isolated as a sodium acrylate oligomer-degrading microorganism.
...
Arthrobacter sp. strain NO-18 could utilize the sodium acrylate oligomer as the sole source of carbon and degrade it by 70 to 80% in 2 weeks.
...
Arthrobacter sp. NO-18 assimilated acrylic acid, propionic acid, glutaric acid, 2-methylglutaric acid, and 1,3,5-pentanetricarboxylic acid.
