Summary Three novel strains of methylotrophic Afipia felis were isolated from several locations on Signy Island, Antarctica, and a fourth from estuary sediment from the River Douro, Portugal. They were identified as strains of the α‐2 proteobacterium A. felis by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Two...
