Description of Leifsonia kafniensis sp. nov. and Leifsonia antarctica sp. nov.
Strains KFC-22 T and SPC-20 T are yellow-pigmented, Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacteria that were isolated from a soil sample near the Kafni glacier in the Himalayan mountain ranges in India, and from a spade core sediment sample from the Antarctic Ocean at Larsemann Hill, respec...
