A novel psychrotolerant, Gram-positive, yellow-pigmented, aerobic bacterium, strain 0549^T, was isolated from the China No. 1 glacier. The cells of the isolate were catalase-positive, motile, irregular rods. The diamino acid content of the cell-wall peptidoglycan was determined to be 2,4-diaminobutyric acid. Strain 0549^T was able to grow at 4–27 °C, with optimum growth occurring at 20–22 °C. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C_{15 : 0}, anteiso-C_{15 : 1}, iso-C_{16 : 0} and anteiso-C_{17 : 0}. The genomic DNA G+C content was 67 mol%. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain 0549^T belonged to the genus Cryobacterium and exhibited 96.5 % similarity to Cryobacterium psychrophilum JCM 1463^T. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic properties and the DNA–DNA relatedness data, strain 0549^T represents a novel species of the genus Cryobacterium, for which the name Cryobacterium psychrotolerans is proposed. The type strain is 0549^T (=CGMCC 1.5382^T=JCM 13925^T).

The fatty acid profiles of strain 0549^T and Cryobacterium psychrophilum JCM 1463^T are available in a supplementary table in IJSEM Online.
