Actinomycete strain SA198T, isolated from a Saharan soil sample of Algeria, was characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. Chemotaxonomic and morphological characteristics observed suggested that it was a member of the genus Saccharothrix . The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis confirmed that strain SA198T was a member of the genus Saccharothrix and showed a similarity level ranging between 97.5 and 98.9 % within species of the genus Saccharothrix , Saccharothrix australiensis being the most closely related. However, DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain SA198T and its closest phylogenetic neighbours, the type strains of S. australiensis , Saccharothrix xinjiangensis , Saccharothrix algeriensis and Saccharothrix espanaensis , were clearly below the 70 % threshold. Based upon genotypic and phenotypic differences from other members of the genus, a novel species, Saccharothrix tamanrassetensis sp. nov., is proposed, with SA198T ( = DSM 45947T = CECT 8640T) as the type strain.

An actinomycete, designated SA181T, was isolated from Saharan soil in the Hoggar region (south Algeria) and was characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. The morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of the isolate were consistent with the genus Saccharothrix , and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis confirmed that strain SA181T was a novel member of the genus Saccharothrix . DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain SA181T and its closest phylogenetic neighbours, the type strains of Saccharothrix longispora , Saccharothrix texasensis and Saccharothrix xinjiangensis , were clearly below the 70 % threshold. The genotypic and phenotypic data showed that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Saccharothrix , for which the name Saccharothrix hoggarensis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain SA181T ( = DSM 45457T  = CCUG 60214T).

A halophilic actinomycete strain, designated H55T, was isolated from Saharan soil sampled in the Mzab region (Ghardaïa, southern Algeria) and was characterized in a taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach. The cell wall was determined to contain meso-diaminopimelic acid and the characteristic whole-cell sugars were arabinose and galactose. The predominant menaquinones were found to be MK-10(H4) and MK-9(H4). The predominant cellular fatty acids were determined to be anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The diagnostic phospholipid detected was phosphatidylcholine. The morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of the strain were consistent with those of members of the genus Actinopolyspora , and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis confirmed that strain H55T was a member of this genus. DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain H55T and the type strains of the nearest species of the genus Actinopolyspora , Actinopolyspora erythraea and A. alba , were clearly below the 70 % threshold. The genotypic and phenotypic data showed that the organism represents a novel species of the genus Actinopolyspora , for which the name Actinopolyspora mzabensis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain H55T ( = DSM 45460T = CCUG 62965T).

Strain IK-1T was isolated from decaying tissues of the shrub Wikstroemia oahuensis collected on O‘ahu, Hawai‘i. Cells were rods that stained Gram-negative. Gliding motility was not observed. The strain was oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. Zeaxanthin was the major carotenoid. Flexirubin-type pigments were not detected. The most abundant fatty acids in whole cells of IK-1T grown on R2A were iso-C15 : 0 and one or both of C16 : 1ω7c and C16 : 1ω6c. Based on comparisons of the nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene, the closest neighbouring type strains were Flavobacterium rivuli WB 3.3-2T and Flavobacterium subsaxonicum WB 4.1-42T, with which IK-1T shares 93.84 and 93.67 % identity, respectively. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 44.2 mol%. On the basis of distance from its nearest phylogenetic neighbours and phenotypic differences, the species Flavobacterium akiainvivens sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate strain IK-1T ( = ATCC BAA-2412T = CIP 110358T) as the type strain. The description of the genus Flavobacterium is emended to reflect the DNA G+C contents of Flavobacterium akiainvivens IK-1T and other species of the genus Flavobacterium described since the original description of the genus.

Three fast-growing rhizobial strains isolated from effective nodules of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) were characterized using a polyphasic approach. All three strains were assigned to the genus Rhizobium on the basis of the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated atpD-recA genes separated the strains into a distinct lineage represented by WYCCWR 11279T, which showed average nucleotide identity values of 95.40 and 93.61 % with the most similar phylogenetic type strains of Rhizobium sophorae CCBAU 03386T and Rhizobium laguerreae FB TT, respectively. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization relatedness values between WYCCWR 11279T and the closest related type strains were less than 70 %. Therefore, a novel rhizobial species is proposed, Rhizobium changzhiense sp. nov., and strain WYCCWR 11279T (=HAMBI 3709T=LMG 31534T) is designated as the type strain for the novel species.

‘Bacillus macroides’ ATCC 12905T ( = DSM 54T = LMG 18474T), isolated in 1947 from cow dung, was not included in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names and so it lost standing in bacteriological nomenclature. Reinvestigation of the strain, including DNA–DNA relatedness experiments, revealed that ‘Bacillus macroides’ is genomically distinct from its closest relatives Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus , Lysinibacillus boronitolerans and Lysinibacillus fusiformis (as determined by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, with pairwise similarity values of 99.2, 98.8 and 98.5 %, respectively, with the type strains of these species). Further analysis showed that ‘Bacillus macroides’ shares the A4α l-Lys–d-Asp peptidoglycan type with other members of the genus Lysinibacillus and can thus be attributed to this genus. These results, combined with additional phenotypic data, justify the description of strain LMG 18474T ( = DSM 54T = ATCC 12905T) as Lysinibacillus macroides sp. nov., nom. rev.

A novel actinomycete, strain DS3030T, was isolated from a deep sediment sample, collected from the southern Black Sea coast, Turkey, and was examined using a polyphasic approach. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain DS3030T was shown to belong to the genus Saccharomonospora and to be related most closely to Saccharomonospora marina XMU15T (99.6 % similarity). Sequence similarities with other strains of the genus Saccharomonospora were lower than 97.0 %. The organism had chemical and morphological features typical of the genus Saccharomonospora . The cell wall of the novel strain contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, arabinose and galactose as diagnostic sugars. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol mannoside. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). Major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 2-OH and C16 : 1 cis 9. Phenotypic data clearly distinguished the new isolate from its closest relative, S. marina XMU15T. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data and low DNA–DNA relatedness with its closest related strain reveal that strain DS3030T represents a novel species of the genus, for which the name Saccharomonospora amisosensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DS3030T ( = DSM 45685T = KCTC 29069T = NRRL B-24885T).

The reclassification of Leptotrichia goodfellowii as Pseudoleptotrichia goodfellowii gen. nov., comb. nov. is proposed because of the separate phylogenetic position on the basis of the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the genomic differences from all other Leptotrichia species and phenotypic differences from Leptotrichia species. The species Pseudoleptotrichia goodfellowii is the type species of the genus. The type strain is LB 57T, CCUG 32286 T, DSM 19756T.

A novel actinomycete, designated strain ASG 168T, was isolated from cave rock collected from Stegodon Sea Cave in Thailand. Long chains of non-motile spores that were oval or spherical in shape with a smooth surface developed on aerial mycelia. Substrate mycelia fragmented into irregular rod-shaped elements. A polyphasic taxonomic study showed that strain ASG 168T had typical characteristics of members of the genus Prauserella . 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain ASG 168T shared 97.5 % similarity with Prauserella marina MS498T and 96.7 % with Prauserella coralliicola SCSIO 11529T. Average nucleotide identity values with P. coralliicola SCSIO 11529T and P. marina MS498T were 82.98 and 76.08 %, respectively. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The whole-cell sugars contained ribose, arabinose and galactose. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The predominant fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, C16 : 0 and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c/C16 : 1 ω6c). The phospholipid profile consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides and two unknown phospholipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 70.6 mol%. Differentiation of strain ASG 168T from closely related species was evident from digital DNA–DNA hybridization values of 29.2 and 21.3 % with P. coralliicola and P. marina , respectively. Based on comparative analysis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic data, the novel actinomycete strain ASG 168T (=TBRC 13679T=NBRC 114887T) is proposed to be the type strain of a novel species, Prauserella cavernicola sp. nov.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, pale yellow-coloured, rod-shaped marine bacterium designated strain YJ-S2-02T was isolated from salt flat sediment sampled in Yongyu-do, Republic of Korea. Strain YJ-S2-02T grew at pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0), 10–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C) and with optimum 1 % (w/v) NaCl. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain YJ-S2-02T was closely related to Novosphingobium naphthalenivorans NBRC 102051T (97.8 %) followed by Novosphingobium mathurense SM117T (97.5 %), Novosphingobium indicum H25T (97.3 %), Novosphingobium pentaromativorans US6-1T (96.8 %), Novosphingobium fontis STM-14T (96.6 %), Novosphingobium endophyticum EGI60015T (96.5 %), Novosphingobium naphthae D39T (96.5 %) and Novosphingobium malaysiense MUSC 273T (95.9 %). The average nucleotide identity and estimated DNA–DNA hybridization values between YJ-S2-02T and related type strains were 77.0–77.9 % and 19.1–24.0 %. Strain YJ-S2-02T was characterized as having Q-10 as the predominant respiratory quinone and the principal fatty acids (>10 %) were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω6c/ω7c, 20.7 %), C18 : 3  ω6c (16.3 %) and C17 : 1  ω6c (11.8 %). The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, sphingolipids and two unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain YJ-S2-02T was 65.6 mol%. On the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic evidence presented in this study, YJ-S2-02T should be classified as representing a novel species within the genus Novosphingobium , for which name Novosphingobium aureum is proposed, with the type strain YJ-S2-02T (=KACC 21677T =KCTC 72891T=JCM 33996T).

Strain KIS2-16T was isolated from a soil sample collected from Daecheong Island of Incheon region, South Korea. KIS2-16T was Gram-staining-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative and mesophilic. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain KIS2-16T represented a member of the genus Nocardioides , being most closely related to the type strains of species of the genus Nocardioides , Nocardioides maradonensis RP-B30T (97.8 % sequence similarity) and Nocardioides ultimimeridianus RP-B26T (97.0 %). The fatty acid profile of KIS2-16T was dominated by C18 : 1ω9c, C17 : 1ω8c, C16 : 0, C18 : 0 10-methyl (TBSA), C16 : 0 2-OH and C17 : 0 2-OH. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-8(H4), and the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. The peptidoglycan structure was A3γ-type with ll-diaminopimelic acid. The genomic DNA G+C content of KIS2-16T was 64.9 mol%. Strain KIS2-16T showed DNA–DNA hybridization values of less than 70 % with the closely related species of the genus Nocardioides . Based on phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic data, the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Nocardioides , for which the name Nocardioides daecheongensis sp. nov. (type strain KIS2-16T = DSM 27136T = KACC 17297T = NBRC 109597T) is proposed.
