A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain YC7378T was isolated from vermicompost (VC) collected at Masan, Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Strain YC7378T grew optimally at 30 °C and at pH 6.5–8.5. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain YC7378T belongs to the genus Sphingosinicella in the family Sphingomonadaceae. The most closely related strains are Sphingosinicella soli KSL-125T (95.7 %), Sphingosinicella xenopeptidilytica 3-2W4T (95.6 %) and Sphingosinicella microcystinivorans Y2T (95.5 %). Strain YC7378T contained ubiquinone Q-10 as the major respiratory quinone system and sym-homospermidine as the major polyamine. The major fatty acids of strain YC7378T were C18 : 1 ω7c, C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, C14 : 0 2-OH and C16 : 0. The major polar lipids were sphingoglycolipid, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The total DNA G+C content was 59.4 mol%. The phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic data showed that strain YC7378T represents a novel species of the genus Sphingosinicella, for which the name Sphingosinicella vermicomposti sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YC7378T (=KCTC 22446T =DSM 21593T).

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain YQH10T, which was isolated from mangrove sediment collected from Zhangzhou, China during the screening of acetaldehyde-degrading bacteria. Cells of strain YQH10T were Gram-stain-negative rods and pale brown-pigmented. Growth was observed at salinities from 0 to 11 % and at temperatures from 4 to 42 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain YQH10T is affiliated to the genus Shewanella, showing the highest similarity with Shewanella haliotis DW01T (95.7 %) and other species of the genus Shewanella (91.4–95.6 %). The principal fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and C17 : 1ω8c. The major respiratory quinone was Q-8. The polar lipids comprised phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The genomic DNA had a G+C content of 48.3 mol%. Strain YQH10T can completely degrade 0.02 % (w/v) acetaldehyde on 2216E at 28 °C within 48 h. Based on these phenotypic and genotypic data, strain YQH10T represents a novel species of the genus Shewanella, for which the name Shewanella mangrovi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YQH10T ( = MCCC 1A00830T = JCM 30121T).

A novel Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, pale-orange-pigmented bacterium, designated strain SM1216T, was isolated from Arctic intertidal sand. Cells of strain SM1216T were dimorphic rods with a single polar prostheca or flagellum. The strain grew at 4 − 30 °C (optimum at 25 °C) and with 0.5 − 6 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum with 2 − 3 %). It reduced nitrate to nitrite but did not hydrolyse gelatin, DNA or Tween 80. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SM1216T was affiliated with the genus Algimonas in the family Hyphomonadaceae, sharing 97.5 and 96.3 % similarity with Algimonas ampicilliniresistens 14A-2-7T and Algimonas porphyrae 0C-2-2T, respectively, the two known species in the genus Algimonas. However, the level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain SM1216T and the type strain of A. ampicilliniresistens, the nearest phylogenetic neighbour, was 57.9 %. The major cellular fatty acids of strain SM1216T were C18 : 1ω7c and C18 : 1 2-OH. The main polar lipids of strain SM1216T were monoglycosyldiglyceride (MGDG), glucuronopyranosyldiglyceride (GUDG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and three unidentified phospholipids (PL1–3). The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 10 (Q10). The genomic G+C content of strain SM1216T was 60.6 mol%. On the basis of the evidence from this polyphasic study, strain SM1216T represents a novel species in the genus Algimonas, for which the name Algimonas arctica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SM1216T ( = MCCC 1K00233T = KCTC 32513T). An emended description of the genus Algimonas is also given.

Strain JC268T was isolated from pebbles collected from a dam located in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. Cells of strain JC268T were coccoid, appeared in pairs/triads/tetrads or short chains and were Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile and obligately aerobic. Strain JC268T was catalase- and oxidase-positive and utilized citrate for growth. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain JC268T was 65.3 mol%. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained l-lysine–l-serine–d-aspartic acid as interpeptide bridge with the type A4α. The major menaquinone was MK-8(H4). Major (>10 %) fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C16 : 1H and anteiso-C17 : 1ω9c. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphoglycolipid, phosphatidylinositol, glycolipid, four unidentified lipids, an amino lipid and phospholipid were the polar lipids of strain JC268T. EzTaxon-e blast search of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain JC268T has highest similarity to Barrientosiimonas humi 39T (98.65 %) and Tamlicoccus marinus MSW-24T (97.8 %) of the family Dermacoccaceae. Genome reassociation (based on DNA–DNA hybridization) of strain JC268T with Barrientosiimonas humi CGMCC 4.6864T ( = 39T) and T. marinus KCTC 19485T ( = MSW-24T) yielded values of 32.5 ± 2 % and 27.3 ± 2 %, respectively. Based on the data from phylogenetic and polyphasic taxonomic analyses, strain JC268T represents a novel species of the genus Barrientosiimonas for which the name Barrientosiimonas endolithica sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain of Barrientosiimonas endolithica is JC268T ( = KCTC 29672T = NBRC 110608T). Our data suggest that T. marinus should be reclassified within the genus Barrientosiimonas. Thus, a reclassification is proposed for T. marinus, the type and only species of the genus Tamlicoccus, as Barrientosiimonas marina comb. nov., which implies the emendation of the description of the genus Barrientosiimonas.

Strain 15-4T, a Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterial strain that produced flexirubin-type pigments, was isolated from Tibet Province, China, and characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate belonged to the family Chitinophagaceae, phylum ‘Bacteroidetes’, and was related to members of the genus Niabella, with sequence similarities ranging from 94.1 to 96.4 %. Strain 15-4T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and its DNA G+C content was 46.9 mol%. The major fatty acids of strain 15-4T were iso-C15 : 0 (41.3 %), iso-C15 : 1 G (14.9 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (13.2 %) and summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, 16.0 %). These chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of strain 15-4T to the genus Niabella. However, a number of physiological and biochemical features enabled the isolate to be differentiated phenotypically from recognized species of the genus Niabella. On the basis of the evidence presented, it is proposed that strain 15-4T represents a novel species, Niabella tibetensis sp. nov.; the type strain is 15-4T ( = CCTCC AB 209167T = NRRL B-59394T). On the basis of these data, an emended description of the genus Niabella is also proposed.
