ABSTRACT
Several psychrophilic, gas vacuolate strains of the Cytophage-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides (CFB) phylogenetic group were isolated from sea ice and water from the Arctic and the Antarctic. The closest taxonomically defined species by 16S rRNA sequence analysis is ‘Flectobacillus glomeratus’. However, ‘FIc. glomeratus’ is phylogenetically distant from the Flectobacillus type species, FIc. major. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and 16S rRNA sequence analyses we propose a new genus, Polaribacter, with three new species, Polaribacter irgensii strain 23-P (ATCC 700398), Polaribacter franzmannii strain 301 (ATCC 700399) and Polaribacter filamentus strain 215 (ATCC 700397). P. filamentus is the type species of the genus. None of these species exhibits a cosmopolitan or bipolar distribution. This is the first taxonomic description of gas vacuolate bacteria in the CFB group. Additionally, we propose that ‘FIc. glomeratus’ be reclassified to the genus Polaribacter as P. glomeratus, comb. nov.
Key Words: Polaribacter gen. nov. • Polaribacter irgensii sp. nov. • Polaribacter franzmannii sp. nov. • Polaribacter filamentus sp. nov. • Polaribacter glomeratus comb. nov.
The GenBank accession number for the 16S rDNA sequence of strain 215 is U73726.
