| Description | Antarctica, the coldest and driest polar region on the Earth, was shown to possess high microbial diversity with often unique bacterial species. The present study describes the taxonomic investigation of 76 psychrophilic gliding bacteria isolated in the frame of a project dealing with the investigation of cultivable bacteria inhabiting the Antarctic environment. This project is performed at the Johann Gregor Mendel Antarctic station situated on the James Ross Island near the Antarctic Peninsula. Isolated Antarctic strains were subjected to three different typing methods, namely FAME analysis, MALDI-TOF MS analysis and repetitive PCR using (GTG) primers. |
