A bacterial strain, designated SYD6T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern on the coast of Weihai, Shandong Province, PR China. Cells of strain SYD6T were rod-shaped, red, and approximately 5.0–9.0 μm in length and 0.4–0.6 μm in width. The strain was Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, heterotrophic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Growth occurred in 4–25 % (w/v) NaCl [with 2–15 % (w/v) MgCl2.6H2O also present], at 20–50 °C and pH 6.5–8.5. Optimal growth was observed at 37–42 °C, pH 7.5–8.0, with 6–8 % (w/v) NaCl [with 2–4 % (w/v) MgCl2.6H2O]. Nitrate was not reduced. Glucose, sucrose, maltose, fructose and ribose stimulated growth, but not glycerol, xylose or mannitol. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 61.5 mol% (HPLC). The sole methyl naphthoquinone was MK-7 and the predominant cellular fatty acids (>10 %) were iso-C15 : 0 2-OH/C16 : 1ω7c, iso-C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω7c/C18 : 1ω6c and C18 : 1ω7c. The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, diphosphatidylglycerol and an unknown lipid. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, demonstrated that strain SYD6T was affiliated with the phylum Bacteroidetes. The most closely related neighbours were species of the genus Salisaeta and strain SYD6T had a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 91.97 % with Salisaeta longa DSM 21114T. On the basis of these phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain SYD6T represents a novel species of a new genus of the family Rhodothermaceae, for which the name Longimonas halophila gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is SYD6T ( = CICC 10838T = KCTC 42399T).

Two strictly aerobic, Gram-negative bacteria, designated strains CL-SP27T and B5-6T, were isolated from the hypersaline water of a solar saltern in Korea and from the surface water of the Sargasso Sea, respectively. The two strains were rod-shaped, non-motile and grew on marine agar 2216 as beige colonies. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed a clear affiliation of the novel strains to the family Rhodobacteraceae. However, the novel strains were only distantly related to members of the Roseobacter clade, forming a distinct lineage. Although the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains CL-SP27T and B5-6T was very high (99.6 %), DNA–DNA relatedness between the strains was 48.4 %, suggesting that the strains be categorized as two genospecies. Additionally, the two novel strains could be differentiated by DNA G+C contents, fatty acid profiles, carbon source utilization patterns, antibiotic susceptibilities and biochemical characteristics. Based on taxonomic data obtained in this study, strains CL-SP27T and B5-6T represent separate species within a novel genus of the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the names Maribius salinus gen. nov., sp. nov. (type species) and Maribius pelagius sp. nov. are proposed. The type strains of Maribius salinus and Maribius pelagius are CL-SP27T (=KCCM 42113T=JCM 13037T) and B5-6T (=KCCM 42336T=JCM 14009T), respectively.

A bacterial strain, YYQ-30T, isolated from a mixed water–sand–sediment sample collected from a terrestrial spring located in Dunhuang, China, was characterized with respect to its morphology, physiology and taxonomy. Cells of the strain were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive, non-flagellated, oval to rod-shaped (0.5–1.0 μm wide and 1.1–6.6 μm long) and divided by binary fission. Growth was observed in the presence of 0–10.0 % (w/v) NaCl with optimal growth at 0–3.0 %, at pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum pH 7.0–8.5) and at 10–45 °C (optimum 30–37 °C). The isolate could reduce nitrate to nitrite and hydrolyse aesculin and gelatin (weakly), but was unable to degrade Tween 80 or starch. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain YYQ-30T belongs to the family Rhodobacteraceae and forms a distinct lineage with the type strain of Albimonas donghaensis and forms a branch within a cluster constituted by the type strains of species of the genera Albimonas, Rhodovulum, Albidovulum, Haematobacter and Tropicimonas; levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain YYQ-30T and members of related genera ranged from 94.1 to 89.7  %. Strain YYQ-30T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c; 70.0  %), C18 : 0 (9.5  %), summed feature 2 (one or more of C14  :  0 3-OH, iso-C16  :  1 I and C12  :  0 aldehyde; 6.9  %) and 11-methyl C18  :  1ω7c (6.0  %) as the principal fatty acids. The polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified phospholipids, two unidentified aminolipids and five unknown lipids. The pufLM gene was detected. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 71.7 mol%. Based on the phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data obtained in this study, strain YYQ-30T is considered to represent a novel species in a new genus within the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Halovulum dunhuangense gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Halovulum dunhuangense is YYQ-30T ( = LMG 27418T = MCCC 1A06483T).
