Emended Description

A novel marine bacterial strain, HY1T, was isolated from sediment of the South China Sea. The strain was aerobic and heterotrophic and formed saffron yellow-pigmented colonies on marine agar 2216. Cells were non-motile, Gram-negative rods, frequently occurring in chains. blastn searches revealed that the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain HY1T showed high similarity with those of members of the genera Gillisia (91.7–93.8 %) and Salegentibacter (92.6–93.5 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain clustered with members of both Salegentibacter and Gillisia and phylogenetic trees constructed using three different methods (neighbour-joining, maximum-parsimony and minimum-evolution) indicated that strain HY1T clustered more frequently with members of the genus Salegentibacter. The DNA G+C content of strain HY1T was 44.4 mol% and its major cellular fatty acids (⩾5 % of the total fatty acids) were iso-15 : 1 (5.0 %), iso-15 : 0 (6.8 %), anteiso-15 : 0 (6.4 %), 15 : 0 (10.4 %), iso-16 : 0 (13.5 %), summed feature 3 (comprising iso-15 : 0 2-OH and/or 16 : 1ω7c; 6.3 %), iso-17 : 0 3-OH (5.2 %) and 17 : 0 2-OH (5.0 %). Cells contained menaquinone 6. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic analyses, strain HY1T should be classified as representing a novel species within the genus Salegentibacter, for which the name Salegentibacter catena sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HY1T (=CGMCC 1.6101T=JCM 14015T). Based on this study and on previously described Salegentibacter species, an emended description of the genus Salegentibacter is given.

Understanding the composition and diversity of soil microorganisms that typically mediate the soil biogeochemical cycle is crucial for estimating greenhouse gas flux and mitigating global changes in plantation forests. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to investigate changes in diversity and relative abundance of bacteria and archaea with soil profiles and the potential factors influencing the vertical differentiation of microbial communities in a poplar plantation. We investigated soil bacterial and archaeal community compositions and diversities by 16S rRNA gene Illumina MiSeq sequencing at different depths of a poplar plantation forest in Chenwei forest farm, Sihong County, Jiangsu, China. More than 882,422 quality-filtered 16S rRNA gene sequences were obtained from 15 samples, corresponding to 34 classified phyla and 68 known classes. Ten major bacterial phyla and two archaeal phyla were found. The diversity of bacterial and archaeal communities decreased with depth of the plantation soil. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of relative abundance of microbial communities exhibited that Nitrospirae, Verrucomicrobia, Latescibacteria, GAL15, SBR1093, and Euryarchaeota had significant differences at different depths. The transition zone of the community composition between the surface and subsurface occurred at 10–20 cm. Overall, our findings highlighted the importance of depth with regard to the complexity and diversity of microbial community composition in plantation forest soils.

A novel, aerobic, heterotrophic, orange-pigmented, Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped, gliding bacterial strain, designated JLT2000T, was isolated from surface water of the South China Sea. The strain was oxidase- and catalase-positive. The major cellular fatty acids of strain JLT2000 T were C12 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), C16 : 0 and C18 : 0. MK-7 was the major respiratory quinone and the major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain JLT2000T was 37.9 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain JLT2000T formed a branch within the genus Marivirga , but was clearly separated from the two established species of this genus, Marivirga tractuosa and Marivirga sericea . The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of strain JLT2000T with the type strains of these two species was 95.8 % and 96.1 %, respectively. Strain JLT2000T had a shorter cell length and wider growth range in different temperatures and salinities than those of Marivirga tractuosa NBRC 15989T and Marivirga sericea NBRC 15983T. In addition, strain JLT2000T could utilize more carbon sources and hydrolyse more polymers than Marivirga tractuosa NBRC 15989T and Marivirga sericea NBRC 15983T. Based on this polyphasic analysis, strain JLT2000T represents a novel species of the genus Marivirga , for which the name Marivirga lumbricoides sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JLT2000T ( = JCM 18012T = CGMCC 1.10832T).

Three Gram-negative, non-spore-forming strains were isolated from sediment from the South China Sea, China, and their taxonomic positions were investigated using a polyphasic approach. Strains HN-171T, HN-172 and HN-181 grew optimally at 30 °C, in the presence of 4.5–5.0 NaCl % (w/v) and at pH 7.2–7.4. They contained MK-6 as the predominant respiratory quinone and contained iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 4 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c/t) and C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content of strain HN-171T was 34.5 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that strain HN-171T, together with strains HN-172 and HN-181, formed a distinct evolutionary lineage within the family Flavobacteriaceae. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains HN-171T, HN-172 and HN-181 shared 99.8–100 % similarity with each other, and the sequence of strain HN-171T exhibited similarity values below 90.2 % with those of other members of the family Flavobacteriaceae. The closest relative of HN-171T was Coenonia anatina LMG 14382T (90.2 %). On the basis of their phenotypic and phylogenetic properties, the three isolates represent a novel genus and a novel species, for which the name Zhouia amylolytica gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HN-171T (=CGMCC 1.6114T=JCM 14016T).

Emended Description

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain SCSWE24T, isolated from a seawater sample collected from the South China Sea. Cells of strain SCSWE24T were Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, moderately halophilic and capable of reducing nitrate to nitrite. Growth was observed at salinities from 1.5 to 4.5 % and at 4–37 °C; it was unable to degrade gelatin. The dominant fatty acids (>15 %) were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c; 50.4 %) and C16 : 0 (21.1 %). The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 58.8 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons showed that strain SCSWE24T was most closely related to an uncultured bacterium clone Tun3b.F5 (98 %; GenBank accession no. FJ169216), and showed 92 % similarity to an endosymbiont bacterium from the bone-eating worm Osedax mucofloris (clone Omu 9 c4791; FN773233). Levels of similarity between strain SCSWE24T and type strains of recognized species in the family Oceanospirillaceae were less than 93 %; the highest similarity was 92 %, to both Amphritea japonica JAMM 1866T and ‘Oceanicoccus sagamiensis’ PZ-5. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SCSWE24T formed a distinct evolutionary lineage within the family Oceanospirillaceae . Strain SCSWE24T was distinguishable from members of phylogenetically related genera by differences in several phenotypic properties. On the basis of the phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain SCSWE24T represents a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Sinobacterium caligoides gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Sinobacterium caligoides is SCSWE24T ( = CCTCC AB 209289T  = LMG 25705T  = MCCC 1F01088T). An emended description of Amphritea japonica is also provided.

The 16S Rrna Gene

Strain S658T was isolated from a Lotus corniculatus nodule in a soil sample obtained in Uruguay. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene and atpD gene showed that this strain clustered within the genus Phyllobacterium . The closest related species was, in both cases, Phyllobacterium trifolii PETP02T with 99.8 % sequence similarity in the 16S rRNA gene and 96.1 % in the atpD gene. The 16S rRNA gene contains an insert at the beginning of the sequence that has no similarities with other inserts present in the same gene in described rhizobial species. Ubiquinone Q-10 was the only quinone detected. Strain S658T differed from its closest relatives through its growth in diverse culture conditions and in the assimilation of several carbon sources. It was not able to reproduce nodules in Lotus corniculatus. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization, phenotypic tests and fatty acid analyses confirmed that this strain should be classified as a representative of a novel species of the genus Phyllobacterium , for which the name Phyllobacterium loti sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S658T( = LMG 27289T = CECT 8230T).
