Abstract

This study characterized a unique cultivated representative of the genus Legionella isolated from an Antarctic lake. This psychrotolerant strain had some common properties of known Legionella species but also displayed other characteristics, such as plasticity in fatty acid composition and an enrichment of mobile genes in the genome.
