A novel psychrophilic, yellow-pigmented and obligate aerobic bacterium, strain 0499^T, was isolated from the China No.1 glacier. Strain 0499^T displayed the common phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features of the genus Flavobacterium, containing menaquinone-6 (MK-6) as the major quinone and C_{15 : 0}, iso-C_{15 : 0}, C_{17 : 1}6c and summed feature 3 (C_{16 : 1}7c/iso-C_{15 : 0} 2-OH) as the major fatty acids. Optimal growth occurred at 21 °C. The genomic DNA G+C content was 36.5 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity showed that strain 0499^T was related to members of the genus Flavobacterium, sharing the highest sequence similarities with Flavobacterium succinicans (97.9 %), Flavobacterium granuli (97.4 %) and Flavobacterium hydatis (97.2 %). On the basis of phenotypic characteristics, phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA relatedness data, a novel species Flavobacterium glaciei is proposed with strain 0499^T (=CGMCC 1.5380^T=JCM 13953^T) as the type strain.

A table detailing the cellular fatty acid contents of Flavobacterium glaciei sp. nov. and related taxa is available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
