Pedobacter cryoconitis explained

Pedobacter cryoconitis is a species of bacteria. It is facultatively psychrophilic, Gram-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped strain, having been first isolated from alpine glacier cryoconite. It is also non-flagellated and non-spore-forming, with type strain A37^T (=DSM 14825^T =LMG 21415^T).^[1]
