Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and the phylogeny is based on 16S rRNA-based LTP release 106 by 'The All-Species Living Tree' Project

Kocuria Stackebrandt et al. 1995 Rothia Georg and Brown 1967 Arthrobacter species-group 2 Arthrobacter echigonensis Ding et al. 2009 Sinomonas [incl. Arthrobacter albidus] Arthrobacter species-group 3 Citricoccus Altenburger et al. 2002 emend. Nielsen et al. 2011 Arthrobacter species-group 4 Auritidibacter ignavus Yassin et al. 2011 Yaniella Li et al. 2008 Nesterenkonia Stackebrandt et al. 1995 emend. Li et al. 2005 Zhihengliuella Zhang et al. 2007 emend. Tang et al. 2009 Micrococcus Cohn 1872 emend. Wieser et al. 2002 Arthrobacter species-group 1 [incl. Acaricomes phytoseiuli & Renibacterium salmoninarum]

The recently described genus Tersicoccus is of uncertain relationships, but probably closest to one of the Arthrobacter lineages.
