Abstract
Four strains of bacteria designated as AR-3-6T, AT-3–1, AR-3-8T and AR-3–15 were isolated from Arctic soil. Cells were aerobic, Gram-staining-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped and yellow-pigmented. Flexirubin-type pigments were present in all strains. All strains tolerated 2 % of NaCl and were psychrotolerant. A phylogenetic analysis based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that these strains formed a lineage within the family Cytophagaceae that were distinct from various members of the genus Dyadobacter . The closest member of strain AR-3-6T was D. koreensis DSM 19938T (97.2 % sequence similarity) and AR-3-8T was D. hamtensis HHS 11T (97.9 %). The predominant respiratory quinone was menaqinone-7. The major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 1ω5c and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The DNA G+C content of strains ranges from 40.1 to 42.1 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analysis, both strains AR-3-6T and AR-3-8T represent a novel member in the genus Dyadobacter , for which the name Dyadobacter psychrotolerans sp. nov. and Dyadobacter frigoris sp. nov. are proposed, respectively. The type strain of Dyadobacter psychrotolerans is AR-3-6T (=KEMB 9005–743T=KACC 21172T=NBRC 113790T) and type strain of Dyadobacter frigoris is AR-3-8T (=KEMB 9005–744T= KACC 21173T=NBRC 113791T).
