Algoriphagus ratkowskyi gen. nov., sp. nov., Brumimicrobium glaciale gen. nov., sp. nov., Cryomorpha ignava gen. nov., sp. nov. and Crocinitomix catalasitica gen. nov., sp. nov., novel flavobacteria isolated from various polar habitats.

Abstract excerpt

Several cold-adapted strains isolated from a variety of algal-rich Antarctic and Southern Ocean samples formed three distinct groups within the class Flavobacteria, phylogenetically distant from other cultivated species. The first taxon, designated Algoriphagus ratkowskyi gen. nov., sp. nov., was isolated from sea ice and from saline lake cyanobacterial mats and includes non-motile, strictly aerobic,...
