A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, yellow-pigment-producing bacterium (designated strain CC-CZW007T) was isolated from seafood samples (sea urchins) at Penghu Island in Taiwan. Strain CC-CZW007T grew optimally at pH 7.0 and 30 °C in the presence of 3 % (w/v) NaCl. The novel strain shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Vitellibacter vladivostokensis JCM 11732T (96.8 %), Vitellibacter soesokkakensis KCTC 32536T (96.4 %), Vitellibacter nionensis KCTC 32420T (95.8 %) and Vitellibacter aestuarii JCM 15496T (95.6 %) and lower sequence similarity to members of other genera. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA genes revealed a distinct taxonomic position attained by strain CC-CZW007T with respect to other species of the genus Vitellibacter. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The polar lipid profile was composed of major amounts of phosphatidylethanolamine, unidentified lipids and aminolipids; a moderate amount of aminophospholipid was also detected. The DNA G+C content was 34.7 mol%. The predominant quinone system was menaquinone (MK-6). On the basis of polyphasic taxonomic evidence presented here, strain CC-CZW007T is proposed to represent a novel species within the genus Vitellibacter, for which the name Vitellibacter echinoideorum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-CZW007T ( = BCRC 80886T = JCM 30378T).

Maize Field

A polyphasic taxonomic approach was used to characterize a Gram-stain-positive bacterium, designated strain CC-CFT480T, isolated from soil sampled in a maize field in Taiwan, ROC. Cells of strain CC-CFT480T were rod-shaped, motile with polar flagella, catalase-positive and oxidase-positive. Optimal growth occurred at 30 °С, pH 8 and 3 % NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA genes revealed a distinct taxonomic position attained by strain CC-CFT480T associated with Cerasibacillus quisquiliarum (97.2 % sequence identity), Virgibacillus soli (95.7 %), Virgibacillus carmonensis (95.4 %) and Virgibacillus byunsanensis (95.2 %), and lower sequence similarity values to other species. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between strain CC-CFT480T and C. quisquiliarum were 74.2 and 20.1 %, respectively. Strain CC-CFT480T contained iso-C15:0, C16:1 ω7c alcohol and iso-C17:1 ω10c as the predominant fatty acids. The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, two unknown aminophospholipids, one uncharacterized aminophospholipid and two unknown phospholipids. The major polyamine was spermidine. The DNA G+C content was 34.8 mol% and the predominant quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7). Based on its distinct phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic traits together with results of comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence, ANI and dDDH analyses, strain CC-CFT480T is proposed to represent a novel Cerasibacillus species, for which the name Cerasibacillus terrae sp. nov. (type strain CC-CFT480T=BCRC 81216T=JCM 33498T).

A novel obligately anaerobic spirochete strain K2T was isolated from bottom marine sediments at Crater Bay of Yankicha Island (Kuril Islands, Russia). Strain K2T had helical shape and Gram-negatively stained. The optimal growth conditions were as follows: the optimum temperature was 28–30 °C with range 5–34 °C; optimal pH at 7.0–7.5 with range of 6.8–8.5; NaCl optimum at 3–3.5 % (w/v) and range of 1–7 % (w/v). Strain K2T was catalase- and oxidase-negative. Glucose fermentation products were acetate, lactate, ethanol, CO2, H2. The major fatty acids were C14 : 0, iso-C13 : 0, iso-C15:0, C14 : 0 DMA, iso-C15 : 0 DMA. The G+C content of genomic DNA was 43.2 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA genes showed that strain K2T belonged to the genus Oceanispirochaeta of the family Spirochaetaceae . The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of strain K2T and O. litoralis DSM 2029T and O. sediminicola DSM 104770T was 96 and 94 %, respectively. Based on the results of our study, we propose the name Oceanispirochaeta crateris sp. nov.; type strain K2T (=DSM 16308T=VKM B-3266T). Also, the taxonomic status of Spirochaeta perfilevii was revised: 16S rRNA genes sequence showed less than 89 % similarity to nearest phylogenetic neighbours. Therefore, we proposed to separate this species into a novel genus Thiospirochaeta - T. perfilievii gen. nov., comb. nov.

Two bacterial strains designated as W3-2-3T and HKS04T were isolated from mineral water and a soil sample, respectively, in the Republic of Korea. The 16S rRNA genes of the two strains shared a sequence similarity of 93.5 %. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains W3-2-3T and HKS04T formed a distinct lineage within the genus Nocardioides of the family Nocardioidaceae (order Propionibacteriales ). The closely related species of strain W3-2-3T were Nocardioides albidus (98.9 %), Nocardioides caeni (98.8 %), Nocardioides kongjuensis (98.6 %), Nocardioides aromaticivorans (98.5 %), Nocardioides nitrophenolicus (98.4 %), Nocardioides flava (98.2 %) and Nocardioides ginsengisoli (98.1 %). The closest species of strain HKS04T was Nocardioides halotolerans (98.7 %). The genome sizes of strains W3-2-3T and HKS04T were 4741198 and 5 120341 bp, respectively. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains W3-2-3T and HKS04T were 73.3 and 72.1 mol%, respectively. The main fatty acids of strain W3-2-3T were C17:1 ω6c and iso-C16:0 and those of strain HKS04T were iso-C16:0 and iso-C16:0 H. The main polar lipids of both strains were diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol and the predominant respiratory quinone was MK-8(H4), supporting the affiliation of these strains with the genus Nocardioides . Based on the results of biochemical, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses, two novel species, Nocardioides convexus W3-2-3T (KACC 21211T=LMG 31251T) and Nocardioides anomalus HKS04T (KACC 18879T=LMG 31249T), are proposed.

A group of rhizobial strains isolated from nodules of multiple legume species grown in different geographical regions of China had identical 16S rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel strains formed a subclade in the genus Rhizobium together with Rhizobium galegae, Rhizobium huautlense and Rhizobium alkalisoli, with 99.8 % gene sequence similarity between the strains. The DNA–DNA relatedness values between the representative strain CCBAU 05176T and R. galegae ATCC 43677T, R. huautlense S02T and R. alkalisoli CCBAU 01393T were 22.6 %, 8.9 % and 15.9 %, respectively. The novel strains were distinguished from recognized species of the genus Rhizobium by using a polyphasic approach, including PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (RFLP) of the 16S–23S intergenic spacer (IGS), phenotypic and physiological tests, sequence comparisons of housekeeping genes and cellular fatty acid profiles. Therefore, it is suggested that this group of strains represents a novel species for which the name Rhizobium vignae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CCBAU 05176T (=HAMBI 3039T=LMG 25447T).

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-flagellated marine bacterium, designated strain LS-861T, was isolated from seawater of the South China Sea (Taiwan). Strain LS-861T grew optimally at pH 7.0 and 30 °C in the presence of 3 % (w/v) NaCl. The novel strain shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (91.5 % each) with ‘Nitratireductor shengliensis’ CGMCC 1.12519 and Hoeflea halophila JG120-1T and lower sequence similarity ( < 91.5 %) with other species. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed a distinct taxonomic position attained by strain LS-861T within the clade that accommodated members of the family Phyllobacteriaceae. The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 1ω10c, C18 : 0 3-OH and C18 : 1ω7c/C18 : 1ω6c. The polar lipid profile was relatively simple as compared with other representatives of Phyllobacteriaceae, by having major amounts of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified glycolipid, and moderate amounts of three unidentified phospholipids and an unidentified aminolipid. The DNA G+C content was 61.2 mol%. The predominant quinone system was ubiquinone-10 (Q-10). The data in general and phylogenetic and polar lipid data in particular clearly distinguish the novel strain from related species at the genus level. Thus, strain LS-861T is suggested to represent a novel species of a new genus of the family Phyllobacteriaceae, for which the name Thalassocola ureilytica gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Thalassocola ureilytica is LS-861T ( = BCRC 80818T = JCM 30682T).

Current knowledge on environmental distribution and taxon richness of free-living bacteria is mainly based on cultivation-independent investigations employing 16S rRNA gene sequencing methods. Yet, 16S rRNA genes are evolutionarily rather conserved, resulting in limited taxonomic and ecological resolutions provided by this marker. We used a faster evolving protein-encoding marker to reveal ecological patterns hidden within a single OTU defined by >99% 16S rRNA sequence similarity. The studied taxon, subcluster PnecC of the genus Polynucleobacter, represents a ubiquitous group of planktonic freshwater bacteria with cosmopolitan distribution, which is very frequently detected by diversity surveys of freshwater systems. Based on genome taxonomy and a large set of genome sequences, a sequence similarity threshold for delineation of species-like taxa could be established. In total, 600 species-like taxa were detected in 99 freshwater habitats scattered across three regions representing a latitudinal range of 3400 km (42°N to 71°N) and a pH gradient of 4.2 to 8.6. Besides the unexpectedly high richness, the increased taxonomic resolution revealed structuring of Polynucleobacter communities by a couple of macroecological trends, which was previously only demonstrated for phylogenetically much broader groups of bacteria. A unexpected pattern was the almost complete compositional separation of Polynucleobacter communities of Ca-rich and Ca-poor habitats, which strongly resembled the vicariance of plant species on silicate and limestone soils. The presented new cultivation-independent approach opened a window to an incredible, previously unseen diversity, and enables investigations aiming on deeper understanding of how environmental conditions shape bacterial communities and drive evolution of free-living bacteria.

The type strains of Jannaschia cystaugens (LMG 22015T) and Thalassobacter stenotrophicus (CECT 5294T) were analysed by means of genomic DNA–DNA hybridization, comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences and phenotypic properties determined under the same methodological conditions. J. cystaugens LMG 22015T showed DNA–DNA relatedness levels of 72 % when hybridized with the genomic DNA of T. stenotrophicus CECT 5294T. Sequence comparisons revealed that the 16S rRNA genes of the two strains had a similarity of 99·8 %. The cellular fatty acid and polar lipid compositions of the two strains and their DNA mol% G+C contents were almost identical. Bacteriochlorophyll a (Bchl a) and polyhydroxybutyrate were produced by both strains under the same culture conditions. Their closest phylogenetic neighbours were Jannaschia helgolandensis and Jannaschia rubra; however, the low sequence similarity values (95·7–95·9 %) and several important differences in phenotypic traits (ionic requirements, Bchl a production and polar lipids) support the distinction between the genera Thalassobacter and Jannaschia. Thus, we propose the unification of J. cystaugens (LMG 22015T) and T. stenotrophicus (CECT 5294T) as Thalassobacter stenotrophicus (type strain, CECT 5294T=DSM 16310T). An emended description of the genus Thalassobacter is also presented.

Strain SH-6T was isolated from the sediment of Lake Shangmatala, a saline lake in Inner Mongolia (China). Cells were pleomorphic. The organism was neutrophilic and required at least 2.5 M (15 %) NaCl, but not MgCl2, for growth; optimal growth occurred at 4.3 M (25 %) NaCl. The G+C content of its DNA was 63.1 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain SH-6T is a member of the family Halobacteriaceae, but there was a low level of similarity with other members of this family. Highest sequence similarity (94.6 %) was obtained with the 16S rRNA genes of the type strains of Natronolimnobius innermongolicus and Natronolimnobius baerhuensis. Polar lipid analyses revealed that strain SH-6T contains phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglyceromethylphosphate, derived from both C20C20 and C20C25 glycerol diethers together with the glycolipid S2-DGD-1. On the basis of the data obtained, the new isolate could not be classified in any recognized genus. Strain SH-6T is thus considered to represent a novel species in a new genus within the family Halobacteriaceae, order Halobacteriales, for which the name Halopiger xanaduensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Halopiger xanaduensis is SH-6T (=CECT 7173T=CGMCC 1.6379T=JCM 14033T).
