Abstract A Gram-staining-positive, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, non-motile, non-flagellate and rodshaped bacterium, was designated as DCY81T, and isolated from soil of a ginseng field in Pocheon province, Republic of Korea. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain DCY81T belonged to the genus Arthrobacter. Major fatty acid was anteiso-C15:0, while major polar lipids were diphosphatidyglycerol, phatidyglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (GL1), and dimannosyldiacylglycerol (GL2). The dominant quinone was MK-9(H2). The peptidoglycan type was A3α with an l-Lys–l-Ala–l-Thr–l-Ala interpeptide bridge. The DNA– DNA hybridization relatedness between strain DCY81T and Arthrobacter siccitolerans LMG 27359T (98.2 %), Arthrobacter sulfonivorans JCM 13520T (97.81 %), Arthrobacter

scleromae DSM 17756T (97.59 %), Arthrobacter oxydans KCTC 3383T (97.3 %) was 39.1 ± 0.2, 62.2 ± 1.6, 36.8 ± 1.1 and 48.3 ± 1.6 %, respectively which show that the genotypic separation of strain DCY81T from the closest reference strain of the genus Arthrobacter. The DNA G+C content was 65.2 mol%. The genotypic analysis, physiological, and chemotaxonomic results indicate that strain DCY81T represents a novel species of the genus Arthrobacter. Therefore, Arthrobacter ginsengisoli sp. nov., is proposed as the type strain (=KCTC 29225T = JCM 19357T). Keywords  Actinobacteria · Arthrobacter ginsengisoli · Taxonomy · Ginseng soil

During the course of investigating bacterial diversity in the ginseng soil by culture-dependent methods, a large number of bacteria were isolated. At least 30 bacterial genera were found such as Arthrobacter, Achromobacter, Bacillus, Brevibacillus, Chryseobacterium, Delftia, Enterobacter, Epilithonimonas, Erwinia, Ewingella, Flavobacterium, Flexibacter, Klebsiella, Labrys, Microbacterium, Methylobacterium, Mucilaginibacter, Pedobacter, Polaromonas, Pseudomonas, Pusillimonas, Raoultella, Rhodococcus, Serratia, Solimonas, Sphingobacterium, Sphingomonas, Sphingopyxis, Sten
