Two novel exopolysaccharide-producing bacteria, strains S18K6^T and S18K5, were isolated from Pacific Ocean sediment. The isolates were Gram-negative, motile, strictly aerobic chemoheterotrophic bacteria. The DNA G+C contents of strains S18K6^T and S18K5 were 44.8 and 46.3 mol%, respectively. DNA–DNA relatedness between the two strains was 70 %. Major fatty acids were hexadecanoic acid (C_{16 : 0}), hexadecenoic acid (C_{16 : 1}7c) and octadecenoic acid (C_{18 : 1}7c). 16S rRNA gene sequence, chemotaxonomic and morphological data indicated that these strains clearly belonged to the genus Glaciecola. Based on phenotypic properties and DNA–DNA hybridization data, strains S18K6^T and S18K5 are considered to represent a novel species of the genus Glaciecola, for which the name Glaciecola chathamensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S18K6^T (=JCM 13645^T=NCIMB 14146^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of S18K6^T and S18K5 are AB247623 and AB247624, respectively.
