The 16S Rrna Gene

A Gram-stain-positive, spore-forming, obligately anaerobic bacterium, designated LAM201T, was isolated from sediment samples from an alkaline-saline lake located in Daqing oilfield, Daqing City, PR China. Cells of strain LAM201T were non-motile and straight or spiral rod-shapes. Strain LAM201T was able to utilize glucose, fructose, maltose, trehalose and sorbitol as the sole carbon source. Acetic acid, ethanol, iso-butanoic acid and iso-valeric acid were the main products of glucose fermentation. The major fatty acids of LAM201T were C16 : 0 (26.7 %) and C18 : 0 (11.2 %). The main polar lipids were four unknown glycolipids and five unknown phospholipids. The predominant cell-wall sugars were ribose and galactose. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strain LAM201T contained alanine, glycine, glutamic acid and aspartic acid. Sodium sulfite was used as the electron acceptor. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 32±0.8 mol%, as determined by the T m method. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the isolate belonged to the genus Romboutsia and was most closely related to Romboutsia lituseburensis DSM 797T and Romboutsia ilealis CRIBT with 97.3 % and 97.2 % similarities, respectively. The DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain LAM201T and the two reference strains were 37 % and 31 %, respectively. On the basis of its phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain LAM201T is suggested to represent a novel species within the genus Romboutsia , for which the name Romboutsia sedimentorum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LAM201T ( = ACCC 00717T = JCM 19607T).

A novel actinobacterium, designated strain NEAU-351T, was isolated from cow dung collected from Shangzhi, Heilongjiang Province, northeast PR China and characterized using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain NEAU-351T belonged to the genus Nocardia , with the highest similarity (98.96 %) to Nocardia takedensis DSM 44801T and less than 98.0 % identity with other type strains of the genus Nocardia . The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol. The major menaquinone was observed to contain MK-8(H4, ω-cycl) (78.2 %). The fatty acid profile mainly consisted of C16 : 0, C18 : 1  ω9c and 10-methyl C18 : 0. Mycolic acids were present. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain NEAU-351T was 68.1 mol%. In addition, the average nucleotide identity values between strain NEAU-351T and its reference strains, Nocardia takedensis DSM 44801T and Nocardia arizonensis NBRC 108935T, were found to be 81.4 and 82.9 %, respectively, and the level of digital DNA–DNA hybridization between them were 24.8 % (22.5–27.3 %) and 26.3 % (24–28.8 %), respectively. Here we report on the taxonomic characterization and classification of the isolate and propose that strain NEAU-351T represents a new species of the genus Nocardia , for which the name Nocardia bovistercoris is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-351T (=CCTCC AA 2019090T=DSM 110681T).

The genus Flavobacterium (family Flavobacteriaceae ) can be found in diverse environments. In this study, seven novel strains were isolated from glaciers in PR China and subjected to taxonomic research. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene revealed that the strains belonged to the genus Flavobacterium . None of the seven strains grew at temperatures above 22 °C, indicating that they are psychrophilic. Furthermore, the average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of the seven strains were calculated and indicated that they represented two novel species in Flavobacterium . Strain LB3P56T was most closely related to Flavobacterium soyangense IMCC26223T (97.70 %) and strain GSP16T was most closely related to Flavobacterium sinopsychrotolerans 0533T (98.03 %). The ANI values between the two Flavobacterium strains and their closest relatives were less than 83.47 %, which was much lower than the threshold for species delineation of 95–96 %. Therefore, we propose two novel species, Flavobacterium franklandianum sp. nov. (LB3P56T=CGMCC 1.11934T=NBRC 113651T) and Flavobacterium gawalongense sp. nov. (GSP16T=CGMCC 1.24642T=NBRC 113664T).

An actinomycete strain, K12-0602T, was isolated from the root of a Helleborus orientalis plant in Japan. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain K12-0602T showed that it had a close relationship with members of the family Micromonosporaceae and the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values between strain K12-0602T and type strains of type species of 27 genera belonging to the family Micromonosporaceae were below 96.2 %. MK-9 (H4) and MK-9 (H6) were detected as major menaquinones, and galactose, xylose, mannose and ribose were present in the whole-cell hydrolysate. The acyl type of the peptidoglycan was glycolyl. Major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, C17 : 1ω9c and anteiso-C17 : 0. Phosphatidylethanolamine was detected as the phospholipid corresponding to phospholipid type II. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 67 mol%. Analyses of the cell-wall peptidoglycan by TLC and LC/MS showed that it was composed of alanine, glycine, hydroxylglutamic acid and an unknown amino acid, which was subsequently determined to be 3,4-dihydroxydiaminopimelic acid using instrumental analyses, including NMR and mass spectrometry. On the basis of the phylogenetic analysis and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain K12-0602T represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Micromonosporaceae , for which the name Rhizocola hellebori gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is K12-0602T ( = NBRC 109834T = DSM 45988T).
