A Gram-stain-negative, microaerophilic strain, 80(YS1)T, with a spiral-shaped morphology and 1–2 sheathed flagella at each end of the cells was isolated from the gastric mucosa of Marmota himalayana, the animal reservoir of Yersinia pestis in China, on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The strain grew at 30, 35 and 42 °C, but not at 25 °C. Growth was in the form of a thinly spreading film on brain heart infusion agar containing 8 % sheep blood under microaerobic conditions. The strain did not hydrolyse urea or hippurate, and did not grow on media containing 1 % glycine. It reduced nitrate to nitrite, and was catalase- and alkaline-phosphatase-positive, susceptible to nalidixic acid and resistant to cefalotin. It was positive for genus-specific PCR for the genus Helicobacter , but could not be classified to any recognized species according biochemical tests results. Therefore, a phylogenetic study based on 16S rRNA, 23S rRNA, 60 kDa heat-shock protein (hsp60) and gyrase subunit B (gyrB) genes was conducted. The 16S rRNA gene sequence (1468 bp) analysis showed that strain 80(YS1)T was most closely related to Helicobacter marmotae (96.7 % similarity). The 23S rRNA gene sequence (2879 bp) analysis showed that the strain was most closely related to Helicobacter canis (96 % similarity). The complete gyrB gene sequence (2325 bp) analysis showed that it was related phylogenetically to Helicobacter cinaedi (79.4 % similarity) and H. marmotae (79.1 % similarity). Analysis of the partial sequence of the hsp60 gene of strain 80(YS1)T showed closest similarity to the sequences of Helicobacter equorum (82 %) and H. cinaedi (81 %), respectively. However, there was no hsp60 sequence of H. marmotae available for analysis. The data of morphological, biochemical and phylogenetic characteristics all supported that this strain represents a novel species. The name Helicobacter himalayensis sp. nov. is proposed for this novel species with the type strain 80(YS1)T ( = CGMCC 1.12864T = DSM 28742T)

Members of the genus Sneathia are fastidious bacteria that predominantly colonise the female genital tract and are significantly associated with reproductive disorders and genital and neonatal disease. From a taxonomical perspective, the genus only comprises the species Sneathia sanguinegens . Numerous reports on a second species, ‘Sneathia amnii’, have been published, but the name has never been validated. The same is the case for ‘Leptotrichia amnionii’, which was previously shown to belong to the same species as ‘Sneathia amnii’. We studied strains DSM 16631T and DSM 16630, which have been identified and deposited as ‘Leptotrichia amnionii’ previously. At the time of isolation, these strains were found to be most closely related to, but clearly different from, Sneathia sanguinegens based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities. Both strains proved to be almost indistinguishable from ‘Sneathia amnii’ based on molecular, morphological and physiological traits. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain DSM 16631T was assigned to the genus Sneathia with a sequence similarity of 95.47 % to Sneathia sanguinegens CCUG 41628T, followed by type strains of Caviibacter abscessus (93.03 %), Oceanivirga salmonicida (92.68 %) and Oceanivirga miroungae (91.97 %) as the next closely related members of the Leptotrichiaceae . The novel species was also clearly differentiated from other related taxa by core genome phylogeny, average nucleotide and amino acid identities, in silico DNA–DNA hybridization and MALDI-TOF MS. With respect to chemotaxonomic and physiological patterns, strains DSM 16631T and DSM 16630 were again highly similar to Sneathia sanguinegens . On the basis of these data, we propose the novel species Sneathia vaginalis sp. nov. with the type strain DSM 16631T (=CCUG 52977T=CCUG 52889AT) and a second strain DSM 16630 (=CCUG 52976=CCUG 52888) that were both isolated from bloodstream infections in women with puerperal fever in France. The G+C content of the DNA of the type strain is 28.4 mol% and the genome size is 1.28 Mbp. Based on the observed extremely high similarities of genotypic and phenotypic traits of the novel proposed species to those reported for ‘Sneathia amnii’, we recommend using this new name in all further publications on this taxon.

A taxonomic study was performed on two isolates, designated strains MK-B5T and MK-B7, isolated from sediment of a solar saltern pond in Gomso Bay, Republic of Korea. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strains MK-B5T and MK-B7 belong to the Gammaproteobacteria and are related most closely to Salinisphaera shabanensis JCM 11575T ( = E1L3AT) (96.3 and 96.5 % similarity, respectively), Salinisphaera dokdonensis KCCM 90064T ( = CL-ES53T) (95.6 and 95.6 %) and Salinisphaera hydrothermalis JCM 115514T ( = EPR70T) (95.1 and 95.3 %). The level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains MK-B5T and MK-B7 was 99.8 %. The G+C contents of their genomic DNAs were 63.4 and 63.6 mol%, respectively, and the major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8. DNA–DNA relatedness between strains MK-B5T and MK-B7 was 98 %, indicating that the two isolates represent a single species. However, the level of DNA–DNA relatedness between the two isolates and S. shabanensis E1L3AT (26.4–30.8 %) indicates that they represent a novel species. Strains MK-B5T and MK-B7 possessed C14 : 0, C16 : 0 and C19 : 0ω8c cyclo as major fatty acids. The two isolates were Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, short rod-shaped and motile. They grew at 10–40 °C (optimum, 35–37 °C), at pH 5.0–8.5 (optimum, 7.0–7.5) and with 5–25 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 15 % NaCl). On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses, strains MK-B5T and MK-B7 are thus considered to represent a novel species of the genus Salinisphaera , for which the name Salinisphaera orenii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MK-B5T ( = KCTC 23198T = JCM 17073T).

A Gram-positive and aerobic bacterium, designated strain YIM 49065T, was isolated from rhizospheric soil of Jatropha curcas in Yunnan, China. This isolate formed branched and fragmented mycelia containing ll-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The major cellular fatty acid profile was characterized by iso-C14 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0, and the predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H4). The DNA G+C content was 69.6 mol%. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence demonstrated that strain YIM 49065T was closely associated with Intrasporangium calvum DSM 43043T and Humihabitans oryzae KV-657T, exhibiting 98.8 % and 98.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, respectively. Furthermore, DNA–DNA hybridizations among strains YIM 49065T, I. calvum DSM 43043T and H. oryzae DSM 22331T indicated that this isolate represented a novel species in the genus Intrasporangium . On the basis of these data, we proposed one novel species, Intrasporangium mesophilum sp. nov., for strain YIM 49065T ( = DSM 23217T  = CCTCC AA 209077T). Additionally, the comparison of biochemical and phylogenetic characters supported the reclassification of Humihabitans oryzae as a separate species within the genus Intrasporangium , Intrasporangium oryzae comb. nov. (type strain KV-657T  = JCM 15924T  = NBRC 101802T  = NRRL B-24470T).

A Gram-positive, motile, short rod-shaped, orange pigmented bacterium, designated strain IMTB-3094T, was isolated from a water sample collected from Tikkar Tal Lake, Haryana, and subjected to detailed polyphasic taxonomic analysis. Strain IMTB-3094T possessed most of the phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties of the genus Exiguobacterium and, based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, was assigned to this genus. Strain IMTB-3094T exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Exiguobacterium mexicanum MTCC 7759T (99.5 %) followed by Exiguobacterium aurantiacum MTCC 6414T (99.1 %), Exiguobacterium aestuarii MTCC 7750T (98.0 %), Exiguobacterium profundum MTCC 10851T (98.0 %) and Exiguobacterium marinum MTCC 7751T (98.0 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain IMTB-3094T was 53.2 mol% and a DNA–DNA relatedness study confirmed that it represents a novel species. The major fatty acids of strain IMTB-3094T were iso-C17 : 0 (16.1 %), anteiso-C13 : 0 (19.0 %), iso-C13 : 0 (11.9 %), iso-C15 : 0 (9.8 %) and iso-C17 : 1 (12.7 %). The predominant quinones were MK-7 (55.0 %) and MK-6 (26.0 %) with minor amounts of MK-8 (12.0 %). Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses, strain IMTB-3094T represents a novel species of the genus Exiguobacterium , for which the name Exiguobacterium aquaticum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IMTB-3094T ( = MTCC 10958T  = JCM 17977T).

Three Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile and rod-shaped bacterial strains, 7Q-K02T, DHF22T and DHOM02T, were isolated from forest soil sampled at Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve, Guangdong Province, China. Strains 7Q-K02T, DHF22T and DHOM02T grew at 4–37, 4–42 and 12–37 °C, pH 3.0–8.5, 3.5–8.5 and 5.0–8.0, and in the presence of 0–3.0, 0–3.5 and 0–2.5 % (w/v) NaCl; with optima at 28–33, 28 and 28–33 °C, pH 3.5–6.5, 4.0–5.5 and 6.5–7.0, and 0–1.5, 0–1.5 and 0.5–1.5 % (w/v) NaCl, respectively. Strains 7Q-K02T and DHF22T have the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 99.0 and 98.0 % to Paraburkholderia sacchari LMG 19450T and 97.7 % between themselves, while strain DHOM02T shares the highest similarity of 98.4 % to ‘Burkholderia rinojensis’ A396T followed by 98.3 % to Burkholderia plantarii ATCC 43733T. In the 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogram, strain 7Q-K02T formed a sister branch with Paraburkholderia sacchari , Paraburkholderia oxyphila and Paraburkholderia paradisi , and strain DHF22T was separated from all other species within the genus Paraburkholderia , while strain DHOM02T formed a separated clade with members of the genus Burkholderia . The DNA G+C contents of strains 7Q-K02T, DHF22T and DHOM02T wwe 64.3, 65.4 and 66.6 %, respectively. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of strains 7Q-K02T, DHF22T and closely related Paraburkholderia strains were in the ranges of 25.5–43.7 % and 81.5–91.3 %, respectively. While dDDH and ANI values between strain DHOM02T and Burkholderia strains with genome sequence data were in the ranges of 22.4–31.0 % and 78.2–86.1 %, respectively. These three strains have the same major respiratory quinone: ubiquinone-8. Strains 7Q-K02T, DHF22T and DHOM02T have C16 : 0, C17 : 0 cyclo, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c/C18 : 1  ω6c) as their major fatty acid compositions. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic, genomic analyses and chemotaxonomic data, strains 7Q-K02T and DHF22T represent two novel species of the genus Paraburkholderia , for which the names Paraburkholderia acidiphila sp. nov. (type strain 7Q-K02T=CGMCC 1.15433T=KCTC 62472T=LMG 29209T) and Paraburkholderia acidisoli sp. nov. (type strain DHF22T=GDMCC 1.1448T=LMG 30262T) are proposed, while strain DHOM02T represents a novel species in the genus Burkholderia , for which the name Burkholderia guangdongensis sp. nov. (type strain DHOM02T=KCTC 42625T=LMG 28843T) is proposed. We also propose to transfer Burkholderia ultramafica to the genus Paraburkholderia as Paraburkholderia ultramafica comb. nov. based mainly on the results of phylogenomic analysis.

A novel Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, ovoid to rod-shaped bacterium, designated NBD-18T, was isolated from a freshwater river in Taiwan. Optimal growth occurred at 30 °C, at pH 6 and in the absence of NaCl. The predominant fatty acids of strain NBD-18T were C16 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c), C17 : 0 cyclo and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine. The major polyamine was putrescine. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain NBD-18T was 50.9 %. Strain NBD-18T was most closely related to Orrella dioscoreae LMG 29303T and Algicoccus marinus HZ20T at a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97.7 %. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between O. dioscoreae LMG 29303T and A. marinus HZ20T was 97.7 %. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and an up-to-date bacterial core gene set indicated that strain NBD-18T, O. dioscoreae LMG 29303T and A. marinus HZ20T are affiliated with the same genus. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization, average nucleotide identity and average amino acid identity values among these three strains supported that they belong to the same genus and that strain NBD-18T represents a novel species. Thus, A. marinus HZ20T should be reclassified as Orrella marina comb. nov. based on the rules for priority of publication and validation. On the basis of the genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, strain NBD-18T represents a novel species in the genus Orrella , for which the name Orrella amnicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NBD-18T (=BCRC 81197T=LMG 31338T).

Strains J15B81-2T and J15B91T were isolated from a sediment sample collected from the South China Sea. Cells of both strains were observed to be rod-shaped, non-gliding, Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented, facultatively anaerobic, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative and showing optimum growth at 30 °C. Strains J15B81-2T and J15B91T could tolerate up to 9 and 10  % (w/v) NaCl concentration and grow at pH 6.5–9.5 and 6.0–9.0, respectively. The strains shared 97.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to each other but were identified as two distinct species based on 81.1–85.8 % ANIb and 31.5 % dDDH values calculated using whole genome sequences. Strains J15B81-2T and J15B91T shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Salinimicrobium xinjiangense CGMCC 1.12522T (98.4 %) and Salinimicrobium sediminis CGMCC 1.12641T (98.0 %), respectively. Among species with validly published names, S. sediminis CGMCC 1.12641T shared close genetic relatedness with strains J15B81-2T [85.1–85.3% average nucleotide identity based on blastBlast+ (ANIb) and 30.6 % digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH)] and J15B91T (76.6–79.1 % ANIb and 21.5 % dDDH). The major fatty acid of strains J15B81-2T and J15B91T were identified as iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0, respectively, and the major polar lipids of the two strains consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified phospholipid, one unidentified aminolipid and one unidentified lipid. The strains contained MK-6 as their predominant menaquinone. The genomic G+C contents of strains J15B81-2T and J15B91T were determined to be 41.7 and 41.8 mol %, respectively. Both strains are considered to represent two novel species of the genus Salinimicrobium and the names Salinimicrobium nanhaiense sp. nov. and Salinimicrobium oceani sp. nov. are proposed for strains J15B81-2T (=KCTC 72867T=MCCC 1H00410T) and J15B91T (=KCTC 72869T=MCCC 1H00411T), respectively.

Two Gram-positive, non-endospore-forming rods, strains C5T and T8T , were isolated from the phyllospheres of Cerastium holosteoides and Trifolium repens, respectively, and were studied in detail for their taxonomic position. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis allocated both isolates clearly to the genus Rhodococcus . Isolate C5T was most closely related to Rhodococcus fascians and Rhodococcus yunnanensis , showing 99.2 % gene sequence similarity to both species. Strain T8T revealed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Rhodococcus corynebacterioides (98.8 %) and Rhodococcus kroppenstedtii (98.6 %). The quinone system of both strains was composed of dihydrogenated menaquinones with eight (major amount) as well as nine, seven and six isoprenoid units (MK-8H2, MK-9H2 MK-7H2 MK-6H2).The polar lipid profiles of strains C5T and T8T consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside and one unknown phospholipid. Additionally, strain C5T contained one unknown glycolipid, and strain T8T three unknown aminolipids. The fatty acid profiles contained major amounts of C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c and 10-methyl C18 : 0, which supported the grouping of the two isolates in the genus Rhodococcus . Physiological/biochemical characterization and DNA–DNA hybridizations with the type strains of the most closely related species allowed a clear phenotypic and genotypic differentiation of both strains. For this reason, we propose strain C5T ( = LMG 26203T  = CCM 7906T) as the type strain of a novel species with the name Rhodococcus cerastii sp. nov., and strain T8T ( = LMG 26204T  = CCM 7905T) as the type strain of a second novel species with the name Rhodococcus trifolii sp. nov.

A novel coccoid-shaped strain, AS/ASP6 (II)T, was isolated from a sample taken from Plakortis simplex (Schulze), a marine sponge, collected at a depth of 30 m from the Bay of Bengal. This strain was identified by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain AS/ASP6 (II)T should be assigned to the genus Planococcus . Chemotaxonomic data (A4α-type peptidoglycan; MK-6, MK-7 and MK-8 menaquinones; mainly branched cellular fatty acids; and phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol as cellular phospholipids) supported taxonomic placement in the genus Planococcus . Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain AS/ASP6 (II)T belonged to the genus Planococcus and was closely related to the type strains of Planococcus maritimus (99.1 %) followed by Planococcus rifietoensis (98.6 %), Planococcus maitriensis (98.5 %), Planococcus citreus (98.3 %), Planococcus salinarum (98.1 %), Planococcus columbae (97.9 %), Planococcus donghaensis (97.8 %) and Planococcus antarcticus (97.7 %); DNA–DNA hybridization values obtained were well below the threshold that is required for the proposal of a novel species. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 51.0 mol%. The phenotypic and genotypic data showed that strain AS/ASP6 (II)T merits recognition as a representative of a novel species of the genus Planococcus , for which the name Planococcus plakortidis sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is AS/ASP6 (II)T ( = MTCC 8491T = DSM 23997T).

A short rod-shaped, Gram-stain-negative strain that can degrade multiple polymers was isolated from forest soil in China and designated as DSWY01T. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that this isolate shared high similarities with Pseudomonas alcaliphila NBRC 102411T (99.3 %), Pseudomonas mendocina NBRC 14162T (99.2%) and Pseudomonas oleovorans NBRC 13583T (99.0%). The results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence and multilocus sequence analysis (recA, gyrB, nuoD, glnS and rpoD) indicated that strain DSWY01T belongs to the genus Pseudomonas and is a member of the P. oleovorans group in an independent branch. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization between the genome of strain DSWY01T and the genomes of other species (ANIb 77.72–89.65 %; GGDC 15.50–31.10 %) showed that the isolate represents a novel species. The DNA G+C content of strain DSWY01T was 63.67 mol%, and the major cellular fatty acids (>15 %) were a mixture of C18 : 1ω7c/C18 : 1ω6c and C16 : 0. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and two unidentified lipids, and the major quinone was CQ-10. The morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics of the isolate were then compared with those of reference type strains. The isolate differed considerably from its closest relatives and is representative of a novel species of Pseudomonas , for which the name Pseudomonas hydrolytica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DSWY01T (=DSM 106702T=CCTCC AB 2018053T).
