A Gram-stain-negative, heterotrophic, aerobic, non-spore-forming and non-motile bacterial strain, designated LM5T, was isolated from activated sludge from a sequencing batch reactor for the treatment of effluents contaminated by malachite green. The taxonomy of strain LM5T was studied by phenotypic and phylogenetic methods. Strain LM5T formed orange colonies on R2A and YP plates. Cells were rods, 0.4–0.6 μm in diameter and 0.8–1.2 μm in length. Growth occurred at 10–35 °C (optimum, 20–25 °C), at pH 5.5–9.5 (optimum, pH 6.5–7.5) and in the presence of 0–2 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0.5 %). Oxidase and catalase activities were present. Flexirubin-type pigments were present, but extracellular glycans were absent. MK-6 was the major respiratory quinone. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (28.3 %) and iso-C17 : 1 ω9c (13.8 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain LM5T was a member of the genus Flavobacterium with highest sequence similarity to Flavobacterium soli DS-6T (93.2 %) and Flavobacterium lindanitolerans IP-10T (92.9 %). Together with F. lindanitolerans IP-10T, strain LM5T formed a distinct lineage in the phylogenetic tree. The DNA G+C content was 52±0.6 mol% (HPLC), which is significantly higher than that of other species of the genus Flavobacterium (30–41 mol%). Based on phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, strain LM5T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium, for which the name Flavobacterium caeni sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is LM5T (=CGMCC 1.7031T=NBRC 104239T).

A Gram-negative, pink-pigmented, non-motile, strictly aerobic rod, designated CNU040T, was isolated from seawater from the coast of Jeju Island in Korea. The temperature, pH and NaCl ranges for growth were 4–30 °C, pH 5.5–10.0 and 0–5.0 % NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain CNU040T belonged to a distinct lineage in the genus Algoriphagus and exhibited high sequence similarity with Algoriphagus terrigena DS-44T (98.3 %) and Algoriphagus alkaliphilus AC-74T (96.6 %) and lower sequence similarity (<96.0 %) with all other members of the genus Algoriphagus. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain CNU040T and A. terrigena KCTC 12545T was 44.5 %. The DNA G+C content of the isolate was 48.5 mol% and the major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-7. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (28.6 %) and summed feature 3 (consisting of iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c; 24.0 %). The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, one unknown amino lipid, one unknown aminophospholipid and three unknown polar lipids. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic data, strain CNU040T represents a novel species within the genus Algoriphagus, for which the name Algoriphagus jejuensis sp. nov. is proposed.

Abstract A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain TRM85114T, was isolated from Jincaotan in Pamir, PR China. We found it has the ability to degrading 1-naphthylamine. Strain TRM85114T grows at 4-40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 6.0-7.0) and with 3%-15% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 3%-6%). Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain TRM85114T is affiliated with the genus Halomonas, sharing high sequence similarity (97.3%) with the type strain of Halomonas korlensis CGMCC 1.6981T. The major fatty acids of strain TRM85114T are C12:0 3-OH, C16:0, C17:0 cyclo, C19:0 cyclo ω8c, summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c) and summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω6c and/or C18:1 ω7c). The predominant respiratory quinone is Q-7. The genomic DNA G + C content of strain TRM85114T was determined to be 61.6 mol%. Calculating the average nucleotide identities and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain TRM85114T and the related type Halomonas strains further revealed that TRM85114T represented a novel species of the genus Halomonas. The name Halomonas jincaotanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TRM85114T (CCTCC AB 2021006T =LMG 32311T).

A novel bacterial strain, designated THYL-44T, was isolated from the soil of a Euphrates poplar (Populus euphratica) forest in Xinjiang, China. The cells were strictly aerobic, Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated, non-motile and filamentous. Growth occurred at 17–37 °C (optimum 30 °C), at pH 5.0–8.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and with 0–1 % NaCl (w/v; optimum 0 %). Flexirubin pigments were not produced. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain THYL-44T was closely related to Niastella koreensis KACC 11465T (95.5 % sequence similarity). The major respiratory quinone was MK-7 and the predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (28.6 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (23.9 %) and iso-C15 : 1 G (17.4 %). The DNA G+C content was 45.2 mol%. Therefore, the phylogenetic, physiological and chemotaxonomic data demonstrated that strain THYL-44T represents a novel species of the genus Niastella, for which the name Niastella populi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is THYL-44T (=CCTCC AB 208238T=KCTC 22560T). On the basis of new data, an emended description of the genus Niastella is also proposed.

Three strains of gliding bacteria, 24T, 62 and 71, isolated from a marine sponge and algae from the southern coastline of Thailand, were studied using a polyphasic approach to clarify their taxonomic positions. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the three isolates formed a distinct lineage within the family ‘Saprospiraceae’ of the phylum Bacteroidetes and were related to members of the genus Saprospira. The G+C contents of the isolates were in the range 38–39 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was MK-7. The predominant cellular fatty acids were 20 : 4ω6c (arachidonic acid), 16 : 0 and iso-17 : 0. On the basis of morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, together with DNA–DNA hybridization data and 16S rRNA gene sequences, the isolates represent a novel species of a novel genus, for which the name Aureispira marina gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Aureispira marina is 24T (=IAM 15389T=TISTR 1719T).

Taxonomic Approach

The taxonomic positions of two bacterial strains, ir6-1T and ir6-4T, isolated from soil collected in Iriomote Island in Japan, were determined by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The strains were facultatively anaerobic, motile and Gram-stain-negative rods and their optimum pH for growth was pH 4.0. Their major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8 and the predominant cellular fatty acids were C14 : 0, C16 : 0, C16 : 1 ω7c and C18 : 1 ω7c. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of ir6-1T and ir6-4T was 59.9 and 57.5 mol%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strains clustered with the genus Silvimonas in the class Betaproteobacteria. DNA–DNA similarities were lower than 53 % among ir6-1T, ir6-4T and Silvimonas terrae NBRC 100961T, and these strains could be differentiated from each other by several phenotypic characters. Based on these results, we propose the emendation of the genus Silvimonas and inclusion of two novel species, Silvimonas iriomotensis sp. nov. (type strain ir6-1T=NBRC 103188T =CGMCC 1.8859T =KCTC 22513T) and Silvimonas amylolytica sp. nov. (ir6-4T =NBRC 103189T =CGMCC 1.8860T =KCTC 22514T).
