Strain CMS 76orT, an orange-pigmented bacterium, was isolated from a cyanobacterial mat sample from a pond located in McMurdo Dry Valley, Antarctica. On the basis of chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic properties, strain CMS 76orT was identified as a member of the genus Kocuria. It exhibited a 16S rDNA similarity of 99·8 % and DNA–DNA similarity of 71 % with Kocuria rosea (ATCC 186T). Phenotypic traits confirmed that strain CMS 76orT and K. rosea were well differentiated. Furthermore, strain CMS 76orT could be differentiated from the other reported species of Kocuria, namely Kocuria kristinae (ATCC 27570T), Kocuria varians (ATCC 15306T), Kocuria rhizophila (DSM 11926T) and Kocuria palustris (DSM 11025T), on the basis of a number of phenotypic features. Therefore, it is proposed that strain CMS 76orT (=MTCC 3702T =DSM 14382T) be assigned to a novel species of the genus Kocuria, as Kocuria polaris.
Published online ahead of print on 28 June 2002 as DOI 10·1099/ijs.0·02336-0.
The EMBL accession number for the 16S rDNA sequence of Kocuria polaris CMS 76orT is AJ278868.
Pigment characteristics of strain CMS 76orT are available as supplementary data in IJSEM Online (http://ijs.sgmjournals.org).
