Colonies of strain Hh8T were orange–yellow, convex and round on PYG plates. Strain Hh8T grew at 0–19 °C and pH 5.5–10.5. Colonies of strain Hh15T, which was able to grow at 0–20 °C and pH 5.5–12, were lemon yellow, convex and round on PYG plates. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that these three strains were related to members of the genus Cryobacterium . The major cellular fatty acids of the novel strains were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 1 A. On the basis of phenotypic characteristics, phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA relatedness data, two novel species, Cryobacterium flavum sp. nov. (type strain Hh8T  = CGMCC 1.11215T  = NBRC 107879T) and Cryobacterium luteum sp. nov. (type strain Hh15T  = CGMCC 1.11210T  = NBRC 107880T), are proposed.", }
