Gene Sequence Analysis

A bacterial strain isolated from human faeces, M-165T, was characterized in terms of its phenotypic and biochemical features, cellular fatty acid profile, menaquinone profile and phylogenetic position (based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis). A 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolate was a member of the genus Parabacteroides. Strain M-165T was closely related to Parabacteroides merdae strains, showing 98 % sequence similarity. The strain was obligately anaerobic, non-pigmented, non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative, rod-shaped and was able to grow on media containing 20 % bile. Although the phenotypic characteristics of the strain M-165T were similar to those of P. merdae, the isolate could be differentiated from P. merdae by means of API 20A tests for l-arabinose and l-rhamnose fermentation. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed the genomic distinctiveness of the novel strain with respect to P. merdae JCM 9497T (⩽60 % DNA–DNA relatedness). The DNA G+C content of the strain is 47.6 mol%. On the basis of these data, strain M-165T represents a novel species of the genus Parabacteroides, for which the name Parabacteroides johnsonii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is M-165T (=JCM 13406T=DSM 18315T).

A New Species

A previously undescribed Helicobacter sp. was recovered from a cat with severe diarrhea. Based upon the absence of any other identifiable cause of diarrhea, this helicobacter may be involved in the development of the disease signs. The organism could not be cultured but was described on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and morphology and appeared to be a new species, with Helicobacter canis being the most genetically similar species. The presence of a diarrhea-inducing helicobacter in a companion animal may pose a risk of zoonosis.

Gene Sequence Analysis

An ivory-coloured bacterium, designated strain 5YN7-3T, was isolated from a wetland, Yongneup, Korea. Cells of the strain were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and short rods. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that strain 5YN7-3T belongs to the order Rhizobiales of the class Alphaproteobacteria and is closely related to Kaistia soli 5YN9-8T (97.8 %), Kaistia granuli Ko04T (97.6 %) and Kaistia adipata Chj404T (97.4 %). Strain 5YN7-3T showed DNA–DNA hybridization values of 28, 22 and 35 % with K. granuli Ko04T, K. soli 5YN9-8T and K. adipata Chj404T, respectively. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c (51.2 %), C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (25.0 %), C18 : 0 (12.9 %) and C16 : 0 (10.8 %) (>10 % of total fatty acids). Ubiquinone-10 was the major isoprenoid quinone and the DNA G+C content was 66.5 mol%. The phenotypic characteristics in combination with 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization data clearly define strain 5YN7-3T as a novel species of the genus Kaistia, for which the name Kaistia terrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 5YN7-3T (=KACC 12910T =DSM 21341T).

Gene Sequence Analysis

A Gram-positive, yellow-pigmented, actinobacterial strain, DW152T, was isolated from a dairy industry effluent treatment plant. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain DW152T exhibited low similarity with many species with validly published names belonging to the genera Micrococcus and Arthrobacter. However, phenotypic properties including chemotaxonomic markers affiliated strain DW152T to the genus Micrococcus. Strain DW152T had ai-C15 : 0 and i-C15 : 0 as major cellular fatty acids, and MK-8(H2) as the major menaquinone. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strain DW152T had l-lysine as the diagnostic amino acid and the type was A4α. The DNA G+C content of strain DW152T was 68.0 mol%. In 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain DW152T exhibited significant similarity with Micrococcus terreus NBRC 104258T, but the mean value of DNA–DNA relatedness between these strains was only 42.3 %. Moreover, strain DW152T differed in biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics from M. terreus and other species of the genus Micrococcus. Based on the above differences, we conclude that strain DW152T should be treated as a novel species of the genus Micrococcus, for which the name Micrococcus lactis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Micrococcus lactis sp. nov. is DW152T ( = MTCC10523T  = DSM 23694T).

An anoxygenic, phototrophic gammaproteobacterium designated strain JA418T was isolated from a sediment sample collected from the Baitarani River, Orissa, India. The bacterium was a Gram-negative, motile rod with a single polar flagellum. Bacteriochlorophyll a and rhodopin were the major photosynthetic pigments. The organism grew best at slightly alkaline pH (8–8.5) and lacked chemotrophic growth. The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C16 : 1 ω7c/C16 : 1 ω6c and C18 : 1 ω7c. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain JA418T clusters with species of the genus Marichromatium belonging to the class Gammaproteobacteria. The highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of strain JA418T were found with the type strains of Marichromatium gracile (95.9 %), Marichromatium indicum (95.6 %), Marichromatium purpuratum (95.5 %) and Marichromatium bheemlicum (95.6 %). The DNA base composition of strain JA418T was 71.4 mol% G+C (by HPLC). Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain JA418T is sufficiently different from other Marichromatium species to merit the description of a novel species, Marichromatium fluminis sp. nov., to accommodate it. The type strain is JA418T (=KCTC 5717T =NBRC 105221T).
