Oleispira antarctica is a hydrocarbonoclastic marine bacterium, the type species in its genus. It is psychrophilic, aerobic and Gram-negative, with polar flagellum.^[1] Its genome has been sequenced and from this information, it has been recognized as a potentially important organism capable of oil degradation in the deep sea.^[2]
