sp. nov. isolated from the penguin .

One slightly beige-white pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, strain I-STPP5b, was isolated from the trachea of a Gentoo penguin chick individual () investigated in Fildes Bay, Chilean Antarctic (62° 12' S, 58° 57' W). I-STPP5b consists of a 3.4 Mb chromosome with a DNA G+C content of 44.

sp. nov., isolated from a black rock cod fish () from the Chilean Antarctic.

An orange-pigmented, oxidase-positive bacterial strain (I-41R45), isolated from the kidney of a black rock cod fish sampled in the Chilean Antarctic was studied in a polyphasic taxonomic investigation. Cells of the isolate were coccoid and stained Gram-negative. A comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain I-41R45 with sequences of type strains of most closely related species showed highest sequence similarities to (98.

Proposal of Pedobacter nototheniae sp. nov., isolated from the spleen of a black rock cod (Notothenia coriiceps, Richardson 1844) from the Chilean Antarctica.

A pink pigmented, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (strain 36B243), was isolated from the spleen of a black rock cod (Notothenia coriiceps, Richardson 1844) in the Chilean Antarctica. Strain 36B243 has a 5.26 Mb chromosome with a DNA G + C content of 35.
