Aerobic strain.
Harbors great radiation resistance.
Isolated from the moraine soil samples that were collected on 8 May 2019 at the high altitude of 5700m above sea level (a.s.l.), in the north slope area of Mount Everest (28.02 deg N, 86.56 deg E)-which is in the Tibetan Plateau region of China near East Rongbuk glacier.
