A novel light stimulated Flavobacterium species from an Antarctic saline lake
Flavobacterium species have been detected and isolated in various polar biomes, predominantly freshwater to marine salinity Antarctica continental lakes. So far 16 species have been officially described. All species show some level of cold adaptation and have comparatively enhanced osmotolerance rel...

Flavobacterium species have been detected and isolated in various polar biomes, predominantly freshwater to marine salinity Antarctica continental lakes. So far 16 species have been officially described. All species show some level of cold adaptation and have comparatively enhanced osmotolerance relative to other members of the genus.
