title: Dyadobacter hamtensis sp. nov., from Hamta glacier, located in the Himalayas, India.
abstract: Strain HHS 11(T) was isolated from a water sample collected from the snout of Hamta glacier located in the Himalayan mountain ranges of India. Phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses established the affiliation of the isolate to the genus Dyadobacter. HHS 11(T) possessed 96 and 95% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with respect to Dyadobacter crusticola and Dyadobacter fermentans, respectively. Furthermore, strain HHS 11(T) differs from D. crusticola and D. fermentans in a number of phenotypic characteristics. These data suggest that strain HHS 11(T) represents a novel species of the genus Dyadobacter, for which the name Dyadobacter hamtensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HHS 11(T) (=JCM 12919(T)=MTCC 7023(T)).
