Reclassification of Corynebacterium ilicis (Mandel, Guba and Litsky) in the genus Arthrobacter, as Arthrobacter ilicis comb. nov.

Summary Corynebacterium ilicis ( Mandel, Guba and Litsky ) differs to such an extent from the type species of Corynebacterium, Cor. diphtheriae (Kruse) , that it cannot be retained in this genus. It is suggested that Cor. ilicis be reclassified in the genus Arthrobacter as Arth. ilicis comb. nov.
