A novel cold-adapted methane-oxidizing bacterium, termed TFB, was isolated from the thermoglacial Arctic karst spring, Trollosen, located in the South Spitsbergen National Park (Norway). The source water is cold and extremely low in phosphate and nitrate. The isolate belongs to the Methylovulum genus of gammaproteobacterial methanotrophs, with the closest phylogenetic affiliation with Methylovulum miyakonense and Methylovulum psychrotolerans (96.2 and 96.1% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, respectively). TFB is a strict aerobe that only grows in the presence of methane or methanol. It fixes atmospheric nitrogen and contains Type I intracellular membranes. The growth temperature range was 2-22°C, with an optimum at 13-18°C. The functional genes pmoA, mxaF, and nifH were identified by PCR, whereas mmoX and cbbL were not. C16:1ω5c was identified as the major fatty acid constituent, at an amount (&gt;49%) not previously found in any methanotrophs, and is likely to play a major role in cold adaptation. Strain TFB may be regarded as a new psychrotolerant or psychrophilic species within the genus Methylovulum. The recovery of this cold-adapted bacterium from a neutral Arctic thermal spring increases our knowledge of the diversity and adaptation of extremophilic gammaproteobacterial methanotrophs in the candidate family "Methylomonadaceae".
