The taxonomic status of Arthrobacter sp. Y-11T, which was described as a squalene-degrading bacterium, was investigated by chemotaxonomic and genetic methods. The strain possesses wall chemotype IV, MK-9(H2) as the predominant menaquinone, mycolic acids, and straight-chain, saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, with considerable amounts of tuberculostearic acid. The DNA G+C content is 67.5 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and quantitative DNA-DNA hybridization experiments provided strong evidence that strain Y-11T represents a new species within the genus Corynebacterium, for which the name Corynebacterium terpenotabidum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of C. terpenotabidum is strain Y-11T (= IFO 14764T).
节杆菌属细菌Y-11T被描述为一种能够降解角鲨烯的细菌，本研究通过化学分类学和遗传学方法对其分类地位进行了调查。该菌株具有IV型细胞壁化学类型，以MK-9(H2)作为主要的甲基萘醌，含有分枝菌酸以及直链、饱和和单不饱和脂肪酸，其中结核硬脂酸含量可观。DNA的G+C含量为67.5 mol%。16S rRNA基因序列分析和定量DNA-DNA杂交实验提供了有力证据，表明菌株Y-11T代表棒杆菌属内的一个新物种，为此提出了新名称萜类棒杆菌（Corynebacterium terpenotabidum sp. nov.）。萜类棒杆菌的模式菌株是Y-11T（=IFO 14764T）。
