“…Most of the species described so far have been isolated from cold environments, including Arctic and Antarctic sea ice, water, soils and sediments (Bowman et al, 1996(Bowman et al, , 1997Yumoto et al, 2003;Romanenko et al, 2004;Shivaji et al, 2004;Bakermans et al, 2006). Less frequently, new species have been isolated from temperate marine environments (Yoon et al, 2005b;Yumoto et al, 2010) and other sources such as pigeon feces, food products, lung tissue and human blood (Vela et al, 2003;Yoon et al, 2003Yoon et al, , 2005aYassin & Busse, 2009;Wirth et al, 2012).…”
