Abstract
Motility and flagellation of 120 Arthrobacter strains derived from soil have been studied. About 80% of 95 of the strains, non-motile and non-flagellated, were identified as A. globiformis. No difference was made between A. globiformis and A. pascens. Of the 25 motile strains 60% were identified as A. simplex. The motile strains always showed a mixture of subpolar and peritrichous flagellated cells. The rods of 14 non-chromogenic strains had mainly normal flagella (wavelength 1.8–2.8 μm) while mainly curly (wavelength 1.0–1.8 μm) and undulant flagella were observed on 5 yellow strains. Nearly all of the motile strains demonstrated flagellated cocci after 5 and 11 days. In spite of their flagellation motile cocci were rarely observed.
