A novel Gram-stain-negative, facultatively aerobic and rod-shaped strain, designated SL-205T, was isolated from the biofilms of a denitrifying reactor using poly(3-hydoxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) as the sole carbon source in Beijing, PR China. A polyphasic taxonomic characterization was performed on the novel isolate. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain SL-205T is a member of the genus Diaphorobacter. High levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity were found between strain SL-205T and Diaphorobacter nitroreducens NA10BT (99.4 %) and Diaphorobacter oryzae RF3T (98.5 %), respectively. However, the DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain SL-205T and D. nitroreducens NA10BT and D. oryzae RF3T were 57 ± 1 % and 45 ± 1.5 %, respectively. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain SL-205T was 66.8 mol%. The major fatty acids consisted of summed feature 3 (including C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH), C16 : 0 and C18 : 1ω7c. Ubiquinone Q-8 was the only respiratory quinone; the polar lipid profile comprised phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and one uncharacterized phospholipid. We conclude that strain SL-205T represents a novel species of the genus Diaphorobacter for which the name Diaphorobacter polyhydroxybutyrativorans is proposed; the type strain is SL-205T ( = ACCC 19739T = DSM 29460T).

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.
