Arthrobacter, like other bacterial genera including Brevibacterium, Microbacterium, and Corynebacterium are used for industrial production of L-glutamate. In industrial applications, Arthrobacter is often grown with low-cost sugar sources such as cane or beet molasses, starch hydrolysates from corn or cassava tubers, or tapioca.

The Actinomycetota (or Actinobacteria) are a diverse phylum of Gram-positive bacteria with high GC content. [4] They can be terrestrial or aquatic. [5] They are of great importance to land flora because of their contributions to soil systems. In soil they help to decompose the organic matter of dead organisms so the molecules can be taken up ...
Actinomyces is a genus of the Actinomycetia class of bacteria.They all are Gram-positive and facultatively anaerobic, growing best under anaerobic conditions. [2] Actinomyces species may form endospores, and while individual bacteria are rod-shaped, Actinomyces colonies form fungus-like branched networks of hyphae. [3]
Streptomyces antibioticus was discovered by Selman Waksman and H. Boyd Woodruff, who named the bacterium Actinomyces antibioticus. [2] In their 1941 publication, Waksman and Woodruff describe their use of the "bacterial-agar plate method", in which they mixed a suspension of E. coli with washed agar containing 1.5% NaCl and 0.5% K 3 PO 4. [2]
Certain Actinobacteria (especially aerobic ones in the order Mycobacteriales) with mycolic acid in their cell wall; not to be confused with Actinomyces, which is a non-acid-fast genus of actinomycete. Note that Streptomyces do not contain mycolic acid. Nocardia (weakly acid-fast; resists decolorization with weaker acid concentrations) Rhodococcus
Dactylosporangium aurantiacum is a Gram-positive soil-based actinobacterium in the family Micromonosporaceae. [1] Like all Dactylosporangium species, aurantiacum is aerobic and mesophilic.
Streptomyces is the largest genus of Actinomycetota, and the type genus of the family Streptomycetaceae. [3] Over 700 species of Streptomyces bacteria have been described. [4] [5] [6] As with the other Actinomycetota, streptomycetes are gram-positive, and have very large genomes with high GC content.
