| Description | A group of rod-shaped, aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, gliding bacteria producing flexirubin-type pigment was isolated from environmental samples collected in Antarctica in 2009-2014. Phylogenetic analysis of the almost complete 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed two separated branches belonging to the genus Flavobacterium. All analyses confirmed that strains of group I and II represent two novel species of the genus Flavobacterium, for which the names Flavobacterium chryseum sp. nov. (type strain CCM 8826T=P3160T=LMG 30615T) and Flavobacterium psychroterrae sp. nov. (type strain CCM 8827T=P3922T=LMG 30616T) are proposed. |
