Strain HHS 22T was isolated from a glacial water sample from the snout of the Hamta glacier located in the Himalayan mountain ranges of India. Phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses established the affiliation of the isolate to the genus Pedobacter. HHS 22T exhibits high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Pedobacter cryoconitis (98 %). However, the level of DNADNA relatedness between HHS 22T and P. cryoconitis is only 42 %. Furthermore, HHS 22T differs from P. cryoconitis and the four other recognized species of Pedobacter in a number of phenotypic characteristics. These data suggest that HHS 22T represents a novel species of the genus Pedobacter, for which the name Pedobacter himalayensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HHS 22T (=JCM 12171T=MTCC 6384T).
Published online ahead of print on 3 December 2004 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.63532-0.
The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of HHS 22T is AJ583425.
Phenotypic characteristics that differentiate strain HHS 22T and Pedobacter cryoconitis DSM 14825T are given in Supplementary Table A in IJSEM Online.
