Description
Summary:A psychropiezophilic bacterium, strain 2825 T (=LMG 21260 T =JCM 11437 T ), isolated from deep Atlantic sediments at a depth of 2770 m and a temperature of 2 °C, was found by polyphasic analysis to represent a novel species of the genus Psychromonas , Psychromonas profunda sp. nov. It is a strict psychrophile and a moderate piezophile, whose degree of piezophily is increased markedly when the temperature is raised to 10 °C. The piezophily of P. profunda is intermediate between that of the type species, Psychromonas antarctica , which is not piezophilic, and that of Psychromonas kaikoae , which is an obligate piezophile.
