Abstract

Two Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, pink and light pink colony-forming bacteria, designated as Hz2 and MDT2-14, respectively, were isolated from glacier cryoconite samples. Comparisons based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains Hz2 and MDT2-14 take KR32 and J391 as their closest neighbours, respectively. The average nucleotide identity values between the two novel strains and their closest relatives were 83.56 and 93.06 %, respectively. The two strains contain MK-9(H) as their predominant menaquinone. The polar lipids of both strains were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and an unidentified glycolipid. The major fatty acids of strain Hz2 were anteiso-C, summed feature 3 (comprising C 7 and/or C 6) and iso-C, while the major fatty acids of strain MDT2-14 were anteiso-C and anteiso-C. Based on these data, we propose two novel species, sp. nov. (Hz2 = CGMCC 1.9262=NBRC 113086) and sp. nov. (MDT2-14=CGMCC 1.9882=NBRC 113089).
