Abstract:
A psychrotolerant bacterium, isolated from Dhundi Glacier, Himachal Pradesh (India) was identified as Sphingobacterium kitahiroshimense LT-2 on the basis of biochemical, molecular and phylogenetic analysis. Sphingobacterium kitahiroshimense was first reported from Japan and was isolated from the city of Kitahiroshima, Hokkaido, Japan. In this report we have discussed about the origin of our strain and predicted that air masses and dust associated microbial cells transportation phenomena may be applicable for the origin of this species in this region. Enzymes and secondary metabolites secreted by the genus Sphingobacterium have enormous potentiality regarding their biotechnological application. Preliminary study of our strain based on metabolic profiling through HPLC showed many new metabolites were secreted by the bacterium when grown in presence of different sugar medium at 28 °C. As far as our knowledge this is the first report about Sphingobacterium species isolated from this region. This preliminary finding will help to draw an idea about the bacterial population in this Himalayan Glaciers (in HP) as well as biotechnological application of this strain can be explored further.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
