Deinococcus detaillensis sp. nov., isolated from humus soil in Antarctica.

A Gram-staining-positive, non-motile, coccus or short-rod-shaped bacterium, designated H1, was isolated from a humus soil sample in the Detaille Island of Antarctica. The 16S rRNA gene sequence result indicated that strain H1 shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with the type strain of Deinococcus alpinitundrae (96.2%).
