A Gram-staining-negative, orange-pigmented, aerobic bacterial strain, designated KA37T, was isolated from a mangrove sediment sample collected from Yunxiao mangrove National Nature Reserve, Fujian Province, China. Growth was observed at 4–37 °C, 0–3 % (w/v) NaCl and pH 5–10. Mg2+ ions were required for growth. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that the isolate was a member of the genus Erythrobacter, which belongs to the family Erythrobacteraceae. Strain KA37T was most closely related to Erythrobacter gangjinensis KCTC 22330T (96.9 % sequence similarity), followed by Erythrobacter marinus KCTC 23554T (96.8 %); similarity to other members of the genus was below 96.6 %. The major fatty acids were C17 : 1ω6c, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c). Strain KA37T did not produce bacteriochlorophyll a. The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 10 (Q-10). The polar lipids of strain KA37T were sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, five unknown lipids and one unidentified phospholipid. According to its morphology, physiology, fatty acid composition and 16S rRNA sequence, the novel strain most appropriately belongs to the genus Erythrobacter, but can be distinguished readily from species of the genus Erythrobacter with validly published names. The name Erythrobacter luteus sp. nov. is proposed, with strain KA37T ( = MCCC 1F01227T = KCTC 42179T) as the type strain.

A Gram-staining-negative, orange-pigmented, non-motile, aerobic bacterial strain, designated GYP20T, was isolated from a culture of the alga Picochlorum sp., a promising feedstock for biodiesel production, which was isolated from the India Ocean. Growth was observed at temperatures from 20 to 37 °C, salinities from 0 to 3  % and pH from 5 to 9.Mg 2+ and Ca2+ ions were required for growth. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that the strain was a member of the genus Phaeodactylibacter, which belongs to the family Saprospiraceae. Strain GYP20T was most closely related to Phaeodactylibacter xiamenensis KD52T (95.5  % sequence similarity). The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3. The predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone-7 (MK-7). The polar lipids of strain GYP20T were found to consist of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, four unidentified glycolipids, two unidentified phospholipids and three unidentified aminolipids. According to its morphology, physiology, fatty acid composition and 16S rRNA sequence data, the novel strain most appropriately belongs to the genus Phaeodactylibacter, but can readily be distinguished from Phaeodactylibacter xiamenensis GYP20T. The name Phaeodactylibacter luteus sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain GYP20T ( = MCCC 1F01222T = KCTC 42180T).

A Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, halophilic rod, designated JPCCMB0017T, was isolated from a marine sediment of the coastal area of Okinawa, Japan. The isolate formed orange–red colonies on marine agar. Bacteriochlorophyll α was absent and sphingoglycolipid 1 and other carotenoids, including astaxanthin, adonixanthin and zeaxanthin, were present. Ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) was the main respiratory quinone and C18 : 1ω7c was the major cellular fatty acid. The G+C content of DNA was 59.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that the isolate was a member of the genus Altererythrobacter in the family Erythrobacteraceae. Strain JPCCMB0017T exhibited 96.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Altererythrobacter marinus H32T. Unlike other members of the genus Altererythrobacter, strain JPCCMB0017T reduced nitrate. On the basis of genotypic and phenotypic data, a novel species is proposed to accommodate this isolate, with the name Altererythrobacter ishigakiensis sp. nov. The type strain is JPCCMB0017T ( = NITE-AP48T = ATCC BAA-2084T = NBRC 107699T).

Two bacterial isolates from the sputa of a patient with a pulmonary infection were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Chemotaxonomic investigations revealed the presence of cell-wall chemotype IV and mycolic acids consistent with the profile for the genus Nocardia. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that these isolates constitute a distinct subline within the genus Nocardia, displaying 99·6–95·5 % sequence similarities with established species. However, DNA–DNA hybridization studies demonstrated unambiguously that the isolates are genealogically distinct from closely related species, namely Nocardia veterana and Nocardia africana, which show high levels of 16S rRNA sequence similarity (99·2 and 99·6 % sequence similarity, respectively). On the basis of both phenotypic and phylogenetic evidence, it is proposed that these isolates be classified as a novel species of the genus Nocardia, for which the name Nocardia elegans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IMMIB N-402T (=CCUG 50200T=CIP 108553T).

An aerobic, yellow-pigmented, bacteriochlorophyll a-producing strain, designated AAP5 (=DSM 111157=CCUG 74776), was isolated from the alpine lake Gossenköllesee located in the Tyrolean Alps, Austria. Here, we report its description and polyphasic characterization. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene showed that strain AAP5 belongs to the bacterial genus Sphingomonas and has the highest pairwise 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Sphingomonas glacialis (98.3%), Sphingomonas psychrolutea (96.8%), and Sphingomonas melonis (96.5%). Its genomic DNA G + C content is 65.9%. Further, in silico DNA-DNA hybridization and calculation of the average nucleotide identity speaks for the close phylogenetic relationship of AAP5 and Sphingomonas glacialis. The high percentage (76.2%) of shared orthologous gene clusters between strain AAP5 and Sphingomonas paucimobilis NCTC 11030T, the type species of the genus, supports the classification of the two strains into the same genus. Strain AAP5 was found to contain C18:1ω7c (64.6%) as a predominant fatty acid (>10%) and the polar lipid profile contained phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, sphingoglycolipid, six unidentified glycolipids, one unidentified phospholipid, and two unidentified lipids. The main respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. Strain AAP5 is a facultative photoheterotroph containing type-2 photosynthetic reaction centers and, in addition, contains a xathorhodopsin gene. No CO2-fixation pathways were found.

Abstract A gram-negative, orange-pigmented, non-flagellated, gliding, rod-shaped, and aerobic bacterium, designated strain F202Z8T, was isolated from a rusty iron plate found in the intertidal region of Taean, South Korea. Notably, this strain synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and 17 putative genes responsible for the synthesis of AgNPs were found in its genome. The complete genome sequence of strain F202Z8T is 4,723,614 bp, with 43.26% G + C content. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain F202Z8T forms a distinct lineage with closely related genera Maribacter, Pelagihabitans, Pseudozobellia, Zobellia, Pricia, and Costertonia belonging to the family Flavobacteriaceae. The 16S rRNA sequence similarity was < 94.5%. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values calculated from the whole genome-sequence comparison between strain F202Z8T and other members of the family Flavobacteriaceae were in the ranges of 12.7–16.9% and 70.3–74.4%, respectively. Growth was observed at 15–33°C (optimally at 30°C), at pH 6.5–7.5 (optimally at pH 7.0), and with the addition of 2.5–4.5% (w/v) NaCl to the media (optimally at 4.0%). The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15: 0, iso-C15 :1 G, and iso-C17 :0 3-OH; the major respiratory quinone was MK-6. Polar lipids included phosphatidylethanolamine, five unidentified lipids, and two unidentified aminolipids. Our polyphasic taxonomic results suggested that this strain represents a novel species of a novel genus in the family Flavobacteriaceae, for which the name Aggregatimonas sangjinii gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Aggregatimonas sangjinii is F202Z8T (= KCCM 43411T = LMG 31494T).

The taxonomic positions of seven atypical Enterococcus strains, isolated from artisanal Italian cheeses, were investigated in a polyphasic study. By using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, DNA–DNA hybridization and intergenic transcribed spacer analysis, as well as by examining the phenotypic properties, the novel isolates were shown to constitute a novel enterococcal species. Their closest relatives are Enterococcus sulfureus and Enterococcus saccharolyticus, having a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 96·7 %. This group of strains can be easily differentiated from the other Enterococcus species by DNA–DNA hybridization and by their phenotypic characteristics: the strains do not grow in 6·5 % NaCl, and they do not produce acid from l-arabinose, melezitose, melibiose, raffinose or ribose. The name Enterococcus italicus sp. nov. is proposed for this species, with strain DSM 15952T (=LMG 22039T) as the type strain.

Four strains (NUM 1903T, NUM 1904, NUM 1912 and NUM 1925) that were obligately anaerobic, pigmented, Gram-negative-staining rods were isolated from the oral cavity of donkeys. These strains were analysed using the Rapid ID 32A, API 20A and API ZYM systems, by DNA–DNA hybridization with other related species and by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that each of the new isolates was a member of the genus Prevotella and related to Prevotella multiformis PPPA21T, showing about 93 % sequence similarity. Based on phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, it is proposed that the four strains are representatives of a novel species, for which the name Prevotella dentasini sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NUM 1903T (=JCM 15908T=DSM 22229T).
