A novel actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-Jh3-20T, was isolated from river sediment collected from South river in Jilin Province, north China and characterized using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, indicated that strain NEAU-Jh3-20T should be assigned to the genus Streptomyces and forms a distinct branch with its closest neighbour Streptomyces vitaminophilus DSM 41686T(97.09 %). Moreover, key morphological and chemotaxonomic properties also confirmed the affiliation of strain NEAU-Jh3-20T to the genus Streptomyces. The cell wall contained ll-diaminopimelic acid and the whole-cell hydrolysates were glucose and ribose. The phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides and an unidentified phospholipid. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H8) and MK-9(H6). The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C18 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 72.2 mol%. A combination of DNA–DNA hybridization results and some phenotypic characteristics demonstrated that strain NEAU-Jh3-20T could be distinguished from its closest phylogenetic relative. Therefore, it is proposed that strain NEAU-Jh3-20T represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces tyrosinilyticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-Jh3-20T ( = CGMCC 4.7201T = DSM 42170T).

Phylogenetic analysis of ‘Sarraceniospora aurea’ NBRC 14752 and strain NBRC 15120, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, revealed that these organisms are related to members of the genus Actinocorallia. These organisms contained glutamic acid, alanine and meso-diaminopimelic acid as cell-wall amino acids and the menaquinones MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8). The chemotaxonomic characteristics of the strains were consistent with those of the genus Actinocorallia. However, DNA–DNA hybridization and phenotypic characteristics revealed that the strains differed from the recognized species of the genus Actinocorallia. Therefore, we propose that ‘Sarraceniospora aurea’ NBRC 14752 and strain NBRC 15120 be reclassified in the genus Actinocorallia as a novel species, Actinocorallia aurea sp. nov. (type strain NBRC 14752T=DSM 44434T).

Two actinomycete strains, designated LIPI11-2-Ac034T and LIPI11-2-Ac042T, were isolated from leaf litter collected from Cibodas Botanical Garden, West Java, Indonesia. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences suggested that both isolates belong to the genus Actinoplanes. These isolates were closely related to Actinoplanes ferrugineus and Actinoplanes durhamensis with similarity values of 98.2 % and 97.7 % respectively, for strain LIPI11-2-Ac034T, and 99.0 % and 97.4–97.7 % respectively for strain LIPI11-2-Ac042T. Both isolates grew well on ISP 7 medium with brown soluble pigment production. Spores were motile and sporangia were irregular. The isolates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid in cell-wall hydrolysates, and mannose, glucose and galactose in whole-cell hydrolysates. The predominant menaquinone of strain LIPI11-2-Ac034T was MK-9(H4) while that of strain LIPI11-2-Ac042T was MK-9(H6). The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0 for strain LIPI11-2-Ac034T, and iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0 for strain LIPI11-2-Ac042T. Phosphatidylethanolamine was detected as the diagnostic polar lipid. The DNA G+C contents of strains LIPI11-2-Ac034T and LIPI11-2-Ac042T were 71.5 and 70.7 mol%, respectively. Based on the differential phenotypic characteristics and the results of DNA–DNA hybridization and phylogenetic analysis, it is proposed that strains LIPI11-2-Ac034T and LIPI11-2-Ac042T represent two novel species of the genus Actinoplanes, for which the names Actinoplanes tropicalis sp. nov. (type strain LIPI11-2-Ac034T = InaCC A459T = NBRC 110973T) and Actinoplanes cibodasensis sp. nov. (type strain LIPI11-2-Ac042T = InaCC A458T = NBRC 110974T) are proposed.

A novel Gram-staining-positive, aerobic, endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacterial strain, YN2T, was isolated from ripened Pu'er tea. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain represented a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus. The strains most closely related to strain YN2T were Paenibacillus vulneris JCM 18268T and Paenibacillus rigui JCM 16352T, with 16S rRNA similarities of 98.6 and 95.5 %, respectively. Chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of the new isolate to the genus Paenibacillus, including MK-7 as the major menaquinone, DNA G+C content of 51 mol%, cell-wall type A1γ (meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid) and anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0 as the major fatty acids. Major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine and phospholipid. Strain YN2T could be differentiated from recognized species of the genus Paenibacillus based on phenotypic characteristics, chemotaxonomic differences, phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization data. On the basis of evidence from this polyphasic study, Paenibacillus yunnanensis sp. nov., is proposed, with strain YN2T ( = CGMCC 1.12968T = JCM 30953T) as the type strain.

A Gram-negative-staining, obligately aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped and chemoheterotrophic bacterium, designated strain MN1-1006T, was isolated from an ascidian (sea squirt) sample, and was studied using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the new isolate shared approximately 93–99% sequence similarity with recognized species of the genus Rubritalea within the phylum ‘Verrucomicrobia’. DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain MN1-1006T and Rubritalea squalenifaciens HOact23T and Rubritalea sabuli YM29-052T were 57% and 14.5%, respectively. Strain MN1-1006T produced carotenoid compounds that rendered the cell biomass a reddish pink colour. The strain also contained squalene. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of the novel strain contained muramic acid and meso-diaminopimelic acid. The DNA G+C content of strain MN1-1006T was 51.4 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C14:0, iso-C16:0 and anteiso-C15:0. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-9. On the basis of these data, it was concluded that strain MN1-1006T represents a novel species of the genus Rubritalea, for which the name Rubritalea halochordaticola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MN1-1006T ( = KCTC 23186T = NBRC 107102T).

Strain HNM0947T, representing a novel actinobacterium, was isolated from the coral Galaxea astreata collected from the coast of Wenchang, Hainan, China. The strain was found to have morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics consistent with the genus Nocardiopsis . The organism formed abundant fragmented substrate mycelia and aerial mycelia which differentiated into non-motile, rod-shaped spores. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and no diagnostic sugars. The major menaquinones were MK-10(H8), MK-10(H6) and MK-10(H4). The major phospholipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol mannosides. The major fatty acids were iso-C16:0, anteiso-C17:0, C18:0, C18:0 10-methyl (TBSA) and anteiso-C15:0. The G+C content was 71.3 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HNM0947T belonged to the genus Nocardiopsis and shared highest sequence similarity to Nocardiopsis salina YIM 90010T (98.8%), Nocardiopsis xinjiangensis YIM 90004T(98.5%) and Nocardiopsis kunsanensis DSM 44524T (98.3%). The strain HNM0947T was distinguished from its closest type strain by low average nucleotide identity (90.8%) and dDDH values (60.4%) respectively. Based on genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characteristics, it was concluded that strain HNM0947T represents a novel species of the genus Nocardiopsis whose name was proposed as Nocardiopsis coralli sp. nov. The type strain was HNM0947T (=CCTCC AA 2020015 T=KCTC 49525 T).

Two strains of gliding, agarolytic bacteria, strains YS10T and YML5, were isolated from coastal seawater off Kamogawa, Japan. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel isolates represent a separate lineage within the genus Flammeovirga. DNA–DNA hybridization values between these isolates and the type strains of species of the genus Flammeovirga were significantly lower than those accepted as threshold values for the phylogenetic definition of a species. Furthermore, some of the phenotypic characteristics indicate that the isolates differ from other Flammeovirga species. Based on these differences, it is suggested that the isolates represent a novel species, for which the name Flammeovirga kamogawensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YS10T (=IAM 15451T=NCIMB 14281T).

A novel actinobacterium, designated strain NEAU-QY2T, was isolated from the leaves of Sonchus oleraceus L. specimen, collected from Wuchang, Heilongjiang Province, China. A polyphasic study was carried out to establish the taxonomic position of this strain. The organism formed single spores with rough surfaces on substrate mycelia. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain NEAU-QY2T belonged to the genus Plantactinospora and formed a monophyletic clade with its closest related strains Plantactinospora endophytica YIM 68255T (99.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Plantactinospora veratri NEAU-FHS4T (98.8 %) and Plantactinospora mayteni YIM 61359T (98.7 %), an association that was supported by a bootstrap value of 90 % in the neighbour-joining tree and also recovered with the maximum-likelihood algorithm. However, DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain NEAU-QY2T and the three closely related strains were below 70 %. With reference to phenotypic characteristics, phylogenetic data and DNA–DNA hybridization results, strain NEAU-QY2T was distinguished from closely related strains and is classified as representing a novel species of the genus Plantactinospora, for which the name Plantactinospora sonchi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-QY2T ( = CGMCC 4.7216T = JCM 30345T).

A Gram-stain-positive, novel actinobacterium, designated strain JL-6T, was isolated from the litter of a bamboo (Sasa borealis) forest in Damyang, Korea. Strain JL-6T had white‐grey, smooth, cylindrical spores that were borne in straight, long spore-chains. The novel strain grew aerobically at 15–28 °C (optimum, 28 °C), pH 4.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 5.5) and with 0–1.5 % (w/v) NaCl. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained ll-diaminopimelic acid, glutamic acid, alanine and glycine. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8). Whole-cell hydrolysates mainly contained glucose and ribose. Phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine were the diagnostic phospholipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 72.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain JL-6T belonged to the genus Streptomyces with sequence similarities ranging from 97.3 % to 98.3 %. However, DNA–DNA hybridization between JL-6T and the closest related strain, Streptomyces turgidiscabies , ATCC 700248T and other closely related species in the genus Streptomyces showed <50 % relatedness. Based on these observations, strain JL-6T is proposed to represent a novel species of the genus Streptomyces , for which the name Streptomyces graminilatus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JL-6T ( = KACC 16470T = NBRC 108882T).

Four Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped bacterial strains were isolated from soil samples collected from south-east China. A taxonomic study including phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and phenotypic characteristics was performed. DNA G+C contents of the four strains were 63–66 mol%. Their predominant ubiquinone was Q-8. The fatty acid profiles contained C16 : 1 ω7c (36·9–54·7 %) and C16 : 0 (22·8–25·5 %) as the major components. Based on their phenotypic characteristics, phylogenetic position as determined by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization results, the four isolates are considered to represent four novel species of the genus Massilia, for which the names Massilia dura sp. nov. (type strain 16T=CCTCC AB 204070T=KCTC 12342T), Massilia albidiflava sp. nov. (type strain 45T=CCTCC AB 204071T=KCTC 12343T), Massilia plicata sp. nov. (type strain 76T=CCTCC AB 204072T=KCTC 12344T) and Massilia lutea sp. nov. (type strain 101T=CCTCC AB 204073T=KCTC 12345T) are proposed.

Two whitish yellow, Gram-positive, non-motile, aerobic bacteria were isolated from enrichment culture during degradation of the thallus of the brown alga Fucus evanescens. The bacteria studied were chemo-organotrophic, mesophilic and grew well on nutrient media containing up to 15 % (w/v) NaCl. The DNA G+C content was 61 mol%. The two isolates exhibited a conspecific DNA–DNA relatedness value of 98 %, indicating that they belong to the same species. A comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain KMM 3637T formed a distinct phyletic lineage in the genus Brevibacterium (family Brevibacteriaceae, class Actinobacteria) and showed the highest sequence similarity (about 97 %) to Brevibacterium casei. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments demonstrated 45 % binding with the DNA of B. casei DSM 20657T. Physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics (meso-diaminopimelic acid in the peptidoglycan, major cellular fatty acids 15 : 0ai and 17 : 0ai) of the bacteria studied were consistent with the genomic and phylogenetic data. On the basis of the results of this study, a novel species, Brevibacterium celere sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is KMM 3637T (=DSM 15453T=ATCC BAA-809T).
