Emended Description

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming, short rod-shaped and moderately halophilic bacterial strain, CAU 1105T, was isolated from soil on reclaimed tidal land in Modo, Republic of Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Strain CAU 1105T grows optimally at a temperature of 37 °C at pH 7 in the presence of 3 % (w/v) sea salt. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity analyses, the novel isolate was assigned to the genus Palleronia within the class Alphaproteobacteria and showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Palleronia marisminoris B33T (95.4 %). Strain CAU 1105T contained ubiquinone-10 as the only respiratory quinone and C18 : 1ω7c as the major cellular fatty acid. The DNA G+C content of strain CAU 1105T was 64.3 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic differentiation, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic data, strain CAU 1105T represents a novel species of the genus Palleronia, for which the name Palleronia soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CAU 1105T ( = KCTC 42298T = NBRC 110740T). An emended description of the genus Palleronia is also provided.

Emended Description

A polyphasic taxonomic study was performed on 22 thermotolerant, aerobic, endospore-forming bacteria from dairy environments. Seventeen isolates were retrieved from raw milk, one from a filter cloth and four from grass, straw or milking equipment. These latter four isolates (R-6546, R-7499, R-7764 and R-7440) were identified as Bacillus thermoamylovorans based on DNA–DNA hybridizations (values above 70 % with Bacillus thermoamylovorans LMG 18084T) but showed discrepancies in characteristics with the original species description, so an emended description of this species is given. According to 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization experiments, the remaining 18 isolates (R-6488T, R-28193, R-6491, R-6492, R-7336, R-33367, R-6486, R-6770, R-31288, R-28160, R-26358, R-7632, R-26955, R-26950, R-33520, R-6484, R-26954 and R-7165) represented one single species, most closely related to Bacillus thermoamylovorans (93.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), for which the name Bacillus thermolactis is proposed. Cells were Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, endospore-forming rods that grew optimally at 40–50 °C. The cell wall peptidoglycan type of strain R-6488T, the proposed type strain, was A1γ based on meso-diaminopimelic acid. Major fatty acids of the strains were C16 : 0 (28.0 %), iso-C16 : 0 (12.1 %) and iso-C15 : 0 (12.0 %). MK-7 was the predominant menaquinone, and major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and some unidentified phospholipids. DNA G+C content was 35.0 mol%. Phenotypic properties allowed discrimination from other thermotolerant species of the genus Bacillus and supported the description of the novel species Bacillus thermolactis, with strain R-6488T ( = LMG 25569T  = DSM 23332T) as the proposed type strain.

Abstract Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming, thermophilic, acidophilic bacterium, designated strain skT53T, was isolated from farm soil in Tokyo, Japan. The strain grew aerobically at 37–55°C (optimum 50°C) and pH 4.0–6.0 (optimum 5.0). Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the isolate was most closely related to the type strain of Effusibacillus consociatus (94.3% similarity). The G + C content of the genomic DNA was 48.22 mol%. MK-7 was the predominant respiratory quinone. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0, iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0 and C18:3ω6c. The results of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic, 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, and whole genome analyses support strain skT53T as representing a novel species of Effusibacillus dendaii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain skT53T (= NBRC 114101T = TBRC 11241T).

A Gram-staining-negative, yellow-coloured, strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, designated HS39T, isolated from a soil sample collected from a natural Populus euphratica forest in Xinjiang, China, was characterized using a polyphasic approach. The isolate grew optimally at 30–37 °C, at pH 6.5–8.0 and with 0–3 % NaCl. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain HS39T revealed that it is a member of the genus Sphingobacterium. Sphingobacterium mizutaii ATCC 33299T was the nearest relative (94.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 40.2 mol%. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1 ω6c and/or C16 : 1 ω7c). The predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. On the basis of phenotypic properties and phylogenetic inference, strain HS39T represents a novel species of the genus Sphingobacterium, for which the name Sphingobacterium shayense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HS39T (=CCTCC AB 209006T =NRRL B-59203T).

The taxonomic position of four Gram-negative, rod-shaped, golden-yellow-coloured bacteria isolated from marine sediments was determined. Analysis of the almost complete 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these isolates belong to the family Flavobacteriaceae. An unclassified bacterium, NBRC 15975, was found to be the closest relative, showing 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 93 %; other related genera shared only 87·9–90·5 % similarity. In contrast, the four isolates shared high levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (99·3–99·7 %) and high DNA–DNA reassociation values (93–104 %). The isolates could be differentiated phenotypically from other genera by the abilities to reduce nitrate and to degrade gelatin, casein and starch. The only respiratory quinone was MK-6, and the major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 1 ω9c and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The DNA G+C content was 38–40 mol%. Differentiating phenotypic characteristics and large phylogenetic distances between the isolates and previously published genera indicated that the isolates constitute a novel genus, for which the name Sediminicola gen. nov. is proposed. The type species is Sediminicola luteus sp. nov. (type strain CNI-3T=NBRC 100966T=LMG 23246T).

The 16S Rrna Gene

A Gram-negative, strictly aerobic bacterium, designated CL-ES53T, was isolated from surface water of the East Sea in Korea. Cells of strain CL-ES53T were short rods and motile by means of monopolar flagella. Strain CL-ES53T grew with 4–21 % NaCl (optimum 10 %) and at 5–40 °C (optimum 25 °C) and pH 5.2–8.8 (optimum pH 6.3–7.2). The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c (42.0 %), C18 : 1 ω9c (14.8 %) and C14 : 0 (9.4 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was 64.9 mol%. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain CL-ES53T revealed that it was a member of the genus Salinisphaera and most closely related to Salinisphaera shabanensis E1L3A T (96.9 % sequence similarity) and Salinisphaera hydrothermalis EPR70T (93.8 %). Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain CL-ES53T formed a robust cluster with S. shabanensis E1L3A T. Although the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain CL-ES53T and S. shabanensis E1L3A T was rather high (96.9 %), DNA–DNA relatedness between these strains was 12 %, suggesting that they represent genomically distinct species. Strain CL-ES53T was differentiated from S. shabanensis E1L3A T and S. hydrothermalis EPR70T on the basis of optimum temperature for growth and certain phenotypic characteristics. The phylogenetic analysis and physiological and chemotaxonomic data show that strain CL-ES53T should be classified in the genus Salinisphaera within a novel species, for which the name Salinisphaera dokdonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CL-ES53T (=KCCM 90064T =DSM 19549T).

A Gram-stain-positive, halotolerant, neutrophilic, rod-shaped bacterium, strain MF38T, was isolated from a saline–alkaline soil in China and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic characterization. The isolate grew in the presence of 0–15 % (w/v) NaCl and at pH 6.5–8.5; optimum growth was observed with 3.0 % (w/v) NaCl and at pH 7.0. Chemotaxonomic analysis showed menaquinone MK-7 as the predominant respiratory quinone and anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, C17 : 0 and C16 : 0 as major fatty acids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 35.3 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of strain MF38T with type strains of described Gracilibacillus species ranged from 95.3 to 97.7 %. Strain MF38T exhibited the closest phylogenetic affinity to the type strain of Gracilibacillus dipsosauri, with 97.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. The DNA–DNA reassociation between strain MF38T and G. dipsosauri DSM 11125T was 45 %. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data, strain MF38T represents a novel species of the genus Gracilibacillus, for which the name Gracilibacillus ureilyticus sp. nov. (type strain MF38T =CGMCC 1.7727T =JCM 15711T) is proposed.

Two bacterial strains, PC-142 and PC-147T, isolated from poultry litter compost, were characterized with respect to their phenetic and phylogenetic characteristics. The isolates were endospore-forming rods that were reddish in colour after Gram staining. They were catalase- and oxidase-positive, were able to degrade starch and gelatin and grew at 15–40 °C and pH 5.5–10.0. The predominant fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0, the major respiratory quinone was menaquinone MK-7, the cell-wall peptidoglycan was of the A1γ type and the G+C content of the DNA was 58 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and phenetic characterization indicated that these organisms belong to the genus Paenibacillus, with Paenibacillus pasadenensis SAFN-007T as the closest phylogenetic neighbour (97.5 %). Strains PC-142, PC-147T and P. pasadenensis SAFN-007T represent a novel lineage within the genus Paenibacillus, characterized by a high DNA G+C content (58–63 mol%). The low levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with respect to other taxa with validly published names and the identification of distinctive phenetic features in the two isolates indicate that strains PC-142 and PC-147T represent a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus humicus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PC-147T (=DSM 18784T =NBRC 102415T =LMG 23886T).

Five strains of strictly aerobic, heterotrophic bacteria that form pink–red colonies and are capable of hydrolysing pectin, xylan, laminarin, lichenan and starch were isolated from acidic Sphagnum peat bogs and were designated OB1010T, LCBR1, TPB6011T, TPB6028T and TPO1014T. Cells of these isolates were Gram-negative, non-motile rods that produced an amorphous extracellular polysaccharide-like substance. Old cultures contained spherical bodies of varying sizes, which represent starvation forms. Cells of all five strains were acidophilic and psychrotolerant, capable of growth at pH 3.0–7.5 (optimum pH 3.8–4.5) and at 2–33 °C (optimum 15–22 °C). The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH). The major menaquinone detected was MK-8. The pigments were carotenoids. The genomic DNA G+C contents were 57.3–59.3 mol%. The five isolates were found to be members of subdivision 1 of the phylum Acidobacteria and displayed 95.3–98.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to each other. The closest described relatives to strains OB1010T, LCBR1, TPB6011T, TPB6028T, and TPO1014T were members of the genera Terriglobus (94.6–95.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Edaphobacter (94.2–95.4 %). Based on differences in cell morphology, phenotypic characteristics and hydrolytic capabilities, we propose a novel genus, Granulicella gen. nov., containing four novel species, Granulicella paludicola sp. nov. with type strain OB1010T (=DSM 22464T =LMG 25275T) and strain LCBR1, Granulicella pectinivorans sp. nov. with type strain TPB6011T (=VKM B-2509T =DSM 21001T), Granulicella rosea sp. nov. with type strain TPO1014T (=DSM 18704T =ATCC BAA-1396T) and Granulicella aggregans sp. nov. with type strain TPB6028T (=LMG 25274T =VKM B-2571T).

A bacterial strain (E4FC31T) isolated from treated municipal wastewater was characterized phenotypically and phylogenetically. Cells were Gram-negative, curved rods with a polar flagellum. The isolate was catalase-, oxidase- and arginine dihydrolase-positive, and able to grow between 15 and 45 °C and between pH 5.5 and 9.0. The predominant fatty acids were C16 : 1/iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and C16 : 0, the major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 8 and the G+C content of the genomic DNA was 63 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain E4FC31T belonged to the class Betaproteobacteria and was a member of the family Neisseriaceae. Its closest phylogenetic neighbours were Aquitalea magnusonii and Chromobacterium violaceum (<94 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). Phylogenetic analysis and phenotypic characteristics of strain E4FC31T suggest that it represents a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Gulbenkiania mobilis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Gulbenkiania mobilis is E4FC31T (=DSM 18507T=LMG 23770T).

A Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped, strictly aerobic, non-flagellated, non-gliding and oxidase- and catalase-positive bacterium, designated A6T, was isolated from a marine sponge, Halichondria oshoro, collected on the coast of Jeju Island, South Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on the nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain A6T was a member of the family Flavobacteriaceae. The closest relatives were Aquimarina intermedia LMG 23204T, A. latercula ATCC 23177T, A. brevivitae SMK-19T and A. muelleri KMM 6020T, with which strain A6T shared 95.7, 95.1, 94.7 and 94.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively. The dominant fatty acids of strain A6T were iso-C15 : 0 (32.2 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (20.0 %), iso-C15 : 0 3-OH (12.3 %), iso-C15 : 1 G (7.2 %) and summed feature 3 (comprising iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c; 6.8 %). The DNA G+C content of strain A6T was 36.0 mol% and the major respiratory quinone was MK-6. On the basis of combined phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses, strain A6T represents a novel species of the genus Aquimarina, for which the name Aquimarina spongiae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is A6T (=KCTC 22663T =DSM 22623T).
