Psychrobacter raelei Manzulli et al. 2024[1][2]
Type strain
CIP 111873; LMG 32233; PraFG1[1]

The genetic analyis of the original strain (isolated by D. Raele, hence the species' name^[1]) placed it in a phylogenetic cluster along with Psychrobacter sanguinis, Psychrobacter piechaudii, and Psychrobacter phenylpyruvicus.^[2] The bacterium proves to be halotolerant, growing between 4 and 37 °C; it is oxidase-positive and catalase-positive; it is able to produce indole, to reduce nitrate and to use different carbon sources but 5-keto-d-gluconic acid.^[2]
