Halomonas subglaciescola is a Gram-negative halophilic Proteobacteria.[1] It was first isolated from an Antarctic, hypersaline, meromictic lake, but has since been found in other environments, such as fermenting seafood.[2] It has a largely oxidative mode of metabolism and it is motile through peritrichous flagellation. This species doesn't utilise glucose, and its type strain is ACAM 12 (= UQM 2926).
