Psychrobacter urativorans is a Gram-negative,[4][5] aerobic,[5] nonmotile[5] bacterium of the genus Psychrobacter, which was first isolated from frozen package of pork sausage in the 1970s.[3] The species' first recognized publication isolated it from ornithogenic soil (fecal matter of birds) in the Arctic in the 1990s.[4][1] The name "urativorans" ("uric acid eating") is derived from the Neo-Latin "uratum" (salt of uric acid), and Latin "vorans" (eating or devouring).[1] The species is known to live in Arctic ornithogenic soil, and chilled meat.[5]
