Phenotypic Data

Strains Y-12T and Y-47T were isolated from mountain forest soil and strain WR43T was isolated from rhizosphere soil, at Daejeon, Korea. The three strains grew at 10–55 °C (optimal growth at 28–30 °C), at pH 3.0–8.0 (optimal growth at pH 6.0) and in the presence of 0–4.0  % (w/v) NaCl, growing optimally in the absence of added NaCl. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the three strains were found to belong to the genus Burkholderia, showing the closest phylogenetic similarity to Burkholderia diazotrophica JPY461T (97.2–97.7  %); the similarity between the three sequences ranged from 98.3 to 98.7  %. Additionally, the three strains formed a distinct group in phylogenetic trees based on the housekeeping genes recA and gyrB. The predominant ubiquinone was Q-8, the major fatty acids were C16 : 0 and C17 : 0 cyclo and the DNA G+C content of the novel isolates was 61.6–64.4 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness among the three strains and the type strains of the closest species of the genus Burkholderia was less than 50  %. On the basis of 16S rRNA, recA and gyrB gene sequence similarities, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, the three strains represent three novel species within the genus Burkholderia, for which the names Burkholderia humisilvae sp. nov. (type strain Y-12T = KACC 17601T = NBRC 109933T = NCAIM B 02543T), Burkholderia solisilvae sp. nov. (type strain Y-47T = KACC 17602T = NBRC 109934T = NCAIM B 02539T) and Burkholderia rhizosphaerae sp. nov. (type strain WR43T = KACC 17603T = NBRC 109935T = NCAIM B 02541T) are proposed.

The Family

A polyphasic study was undertaken to clarify the taxonomic position of Nonomuraea flexuosa DSM 41386T. The distinct 16S rRNA gene sequence phyletic branch formed by this strain was equated with nine related monophyletic clades composed of representatives of the genera classified in the family Streptosporangiaceae. The organism produced a PCR product characteristic of this taxon when examined using a set of oligonucleotide primers specific for members of the family Streptosporangiaceae. Strain DSM 41386T could also be distinguished from representatives of the nine genera assigned to this family using a combination of chemotaxonomic, morphological and physiological properties. It is evident from the genotypic and phenotypic data that strain DSM 41386T is misclassified in the genus Nonomuraea and merits recognition as a monospecific genus within the family Streptosporangiaceae. It is proposed that the name Thermopolyspora flexuosa gen. nov., comb. nov., nom. rev. be used for this purpose, with the type strain DSM 41386T (=NRRL B-24348T).

Streptomyces Species

The taxonomic status of six neutrotolerant acidophilic streptomycetes isolated from acidic soils in Yunnan Province, China, was established using a polyphasic approach. The morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics revealed that the isolates belong to the genus Streptomyces. Almost complete 16S rRNA gene sequences of the isolates were determined and aligned with available corresponding sequences of representatives of the family Streptomycetaceae; phylogenetic trees were inferred using four tree-making algorithms. The isolates formed a distinct, albeit heterogeneous, subclade in the Streptomyces 16S rRNA gene tree together with the type strain of Streptomyces yeochonensis, but were readily distinguishable from the latter using DNA–DNA hybridization and phenotypic data. It was evident from the genotypic and phenotypic data that the isolates belonged to four novel Streptomyces species, for which the following names are proposed: Streptomyces guanduensis sp. nov. (type strain 701T=CGMCC 4.2022T=JCM 13274T), Streptomyces paucisporeus sp. nov. (type strain 1413T=CGMCC 4.2025T=JCM 13276T), Streptomyces rubidus sp. nov. (type strain 13c15T=CGMCC 4.2026T=JCM 13277T) and Streptomyces yanglinensis sp. nov. (type strain 1307T=CGMCC 4.2023T=JCM 13275T); isolates 317 and 913 belong to this latter species.

Phenotypic Data

An actinomycete strain, designated IR27-S3T, was isolated from a forest soil sample collected from Iriomote Island, Okinawa, Japan. Cells of the isolate were Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-sporulating, non-motile coccoids or short rods. The strain grew in the presence of 0–7 % (w/v) NaCl, at pH 6–8 and at 12–37 °C, with optimum growth at 30 °C. Chemotaxonomically, the strain contained ll-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and MK-8(H4) as the predominant menaquinone. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and an unknown phospholipid. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, C17 : 1 cis-9, C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 73.7 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain IR27-S3T was closely related to Nocardioides mesophilus MSL-22T (98.1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Marmoricola bigeumensis MSL-05T (97.2 %) and Nocardioides jensenii DSM 20641T (96.5 %). On the basis of fatty acid analysis, phylogenetic analysis and phenotypic data, the isolate should be classified in a novel species of the genus Nocardioides, for which the name Nocardioides iriomotensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IR27-S3T ( = NBRC 105384T  = KACC 14926T).

Gene Sequence Analysis

Two bacterial strains, 01-96T and 15-51T, isolated from rhizosphere soil of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris) were characterized by using a polyphasic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain 01-96T was phylogenetically related most closely to Pedobacter suwonensis 15-52T and Pedobacter roseus CL-GP80T (96.7 and 96.7 % similarity, respectively), and strain 15-51T to Pedobacter borealis G-1T and P. suwonensis 15-52T (97.2 and 97.1 %, respectively). However, levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain 15-51T and P. borealis KACC 14287T and P. suwonensis KACC 11317T were low (<50 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 37.8 mol% for strain 01-96T and 38.6 mol% for strain 15-51T. The major fatty acids of the two strains were iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c). The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and phenotypic data showed that strains 01-96T and 15-51T could be distinguished from their closest phylogenetic relatives, and that these strains represented two novel species of the genus Pedobacter, for which the names Pedobacter rhizosphaerae sp. nov. (type strain 01-96T  = KACC 14938T  = NBRC 107690T) and Pedobacter soli sp. nov. (type strain 15-51T  = KACC 14939T  = NBRC 107691T) are proposed.

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).

A Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterial strain, RL-2T, was isolated from seawater of the East Sea in Korea and was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain RL-2T grew optimally at pH 7.5–8.0, at 20 °C and in the absence of NaCl. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain RL-2T forms a cluster with Perlucidibaca piscinae IMCC1704T and various uncultured and unidentified gammaproteobacteria. Strain RL-2T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 96.1 % to Perlucidibaca piscinae IMCC1704T and 93.7–99.7 % to the uncultured bacterial clones belonging to the cluster and an unidentified gammaproteobacterium. The fatty acid profile of strain RL-2T was similar to that of Perlucidibaca piscinae IMCC1704T, but the predominant ubiquinone type (Q-11) of strain RL-2T was different from that (Q-8) of Perlucidibaca piscinae IMCC1704T. The DNA G+C content of strain RL-2T was 61.3 mol%. On the basis of phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, strain RL-2T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus in the family Moraxellaceae, for which the name Paraperlucidibaca baekdonensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Paraperlucidibaca baekdonensis is RL-2T ( = KCTC 23145T  = CCUG 59307T).

Two aerobic, Gram-reaction-negative, non-spore-forming bacterial strains, 4M29T and 4M40T, were isolated from cotton composts. The two strains grew in the presence of 0–5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum growth in the absence of NaCl), at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and at 15–45 °C (optimum, 30 °C). The strains shared 97.1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Strains 4M29T and 4M40T showed the next highest levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Parapedobacter koreensis Jip14T (95.6 and 94.4 %, respectively) and Parapedobacter soli DCY14T (95.2 and 93.8 %). The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strains 4M29T and 4M40T was 38 %. The two strains contained iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (comprising iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH as major fatty acids, MK-7 as the major respiratory quinone, homospermidine as the only polyamine and phosphatidylethanolamine as the major polar lipid. The DNA G+C contents of strains 4M29T and 4M40T were 47.6 and 48.6 mol%, respectively. On the basis of phylogenetic and phenotypic data, strains 4M29T and 4M40T are considered to represent two novel species of the genus Parapedobacter, for which the names Parapedobacter luteus sp. nov. (type strain 4M29T =KACC 10955T =JCM 15977T) and Parapedobacter composti sp. nov. (type strain 4M40T =KACC 10972T =JCM 15978T) are proposed.

Two novel Gram-reaction-positive, rod-shaped actinobacterial strains, designated RP-B26T and RP-B30T, were isolated from rhizosphere soil of a cliff-associated plant (Peucedanum japonicum Thunb.) which was collected from Mara Island, Republic of Korea. The colonies of the isolates were circular, smooth, convex and moderately yellow–light-yellow in colour. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the isolates belonged to the family Nocardioidaceae and formed two distinct sublineages within the radiation of the genus Nocardioides. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the isolates was 98.2 %. The closest phylogenetic neighbours of strain RP-B26T were Nocardioides humi DCY24T and Nocardioides kongjuensis A2-4T with 97.4 and 97.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively, whereas 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between strain RP-B30T and N. humi DCY24T and N. kongjuensis A2-4T were 96.5 and 96.0 %, respectively. Both of the isolates contained ll-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell walls. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H4). The polar lipids were phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylglycerol. The fatty acid profiles of the isolates were characterized by the presence of saturated, unsaturated, 10-methyl and hydroxyl fatty acids, with small amounts of branched fatty acids. The DNA G+C contents of strains RP-B26T and RP-B30T were 73.0 and 71.7 mol%, respectively. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between the isolates were 44.9±1.5 % (thermal renaturation method) and 43.2 % (photobiotin-labelled method); the isolates showed low DNA–DNA relatedness values (<11 %) to the most closely related strain, N. humi KCTC 19265T. On the basis of the phenotypic, genotypic and DNA–DNA hybridization data presented here, the isolates are considered to represent two novel species of the genus Nocardioides, for which the names Nocardioides ultimimeridianus sp. nov. (type strain RP-B26T  = KCTC 19368T  = DSM 19768T) and Nocardioides maradonensis sp. nov. (type strain RP-B30T  = KCTC 19384T  = DSM 19769T) are proposed.

A polyphasic study was carried out to establish the taxonomic positions of six strains isolated from diverse soil samples and provisionally assigned to the genus Kitasatospora. The isolates were found to have chemical and morphological properties consistent with their classification as Kitasatospora strains. Direct 16S rRNA gene sequence data confirmed the taxonomic position of the strains following the generation of phylogenetic trees by using three tree-making algorithms. Five of the isolates were considered to merit species status using complementary genotypic and phenotypic data. These organisms were designated Kitasatospora arboriphila sp. nov. (HKI 0189T=2291-120T=DSM 44785T=NCIMB 13973T), Kitasatospora gansuensis sp. nov. (HKI 0314T=2050-015T=DSM 44786T=NCIMB 13974T), Kitasatospora nipponensis sp. nov.

Two yellow-pigmented, Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, motile, short rod-shaped bacteria were isolated from natural teak tree rhizosphere soil and their taxonomic positions were determined by using a polyphasic approach. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strains TG-S248T and TG-S240 formed a distinct phyletic line within the genus Leifsonia. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain TG-S248T with sequences from Leifsonia shinshuensis DB 102T, L. poae VKM Ac-1401T, L. naganoensis DB 103T, L. aquatica DSM 20146T and L. xyli subsp. cynodontis JCM 9733T revealed pairwise similarities ranging from 98.7 to 99.1 %. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The G+C content of the DNA of the type strain was 69.4 mol%. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness (32 % or less) between strain TG-S248T and its closest relatives. Based on differences in phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain TG-S248T (=LMG 24767T =JCM 15679T) is designated the type strain of a novel species of the genus Leifsonia, for which the name Leifsonia soli sp. nov. is proposed.
