Cells were catalase- and methyl red-positive, produced H2S and produced acid from glucose, mannitol and salicin. Strain SK1T was able to grow between −6 and 28 °C, with an optimum at 20 °C. The isolate contained 2,4-diaminobutyrate, glycine, alanine and glutamic acid in the cell wall and the major menaquinones were MK-10 and MK-11. Identified polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 (53.5 %), anteiso-C17 : 0 (17.0 %) and C18 : 0 (12.1 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was 67.8 mol%. Strain SK1T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Cryobacterium psychrotolerans 0549T (97.6 %) and Cryobacterium roopkundense RuGl7T (96.8 %). Considering morphological, physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic characters and phylogenetic analysis, strain SK1T represents a novel species in the genus Cryobacterium, for which the name Cryobacterium arcticum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SK1T ( = DSM 22823T  = NCCB 100316T).", }
