Abstract
Gram stain positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming actinobacterium. Motile by a single polar flagellum. Colonies on TSA are white, round, smooth, and shiny. Cells are rod shaped and tend to aggregate when grown on TSB at >15°C. Growth is psychrophilic with temperatures between −5 and 25°C. The peptidoglycan contains 2,4-diaminobutyric acid and is of the type B2γ. The muramic acid is of the acetyl type. MK-12 and MK-13 or MK-11 are the main menaquinones. The main fatty acid profile contains anteiso-C15:0, anteiso-C17:0, iso-C16:0, and iso-C15:0.The genus Glaciibacter belongs to the family Microbacteriaceae and is phylogenetically related to the genera Subtercola and Agreia. The genus contains the single species, Glaciibacter superstes, represented by two strains isolated from a permafrost ice wedge in Alaska. The type strain is AHU1791T.
