ABSTRACT Eight strains of chemoorganotrophic bacteria were isolated from the water column of Lake Hoare, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, using cold enrichment temperatures. The isolates were Alpha -, Beta -, and Gammaproteobacteria and Actinobacteria spp. All isolates grew at 0°C, and all but one g...
