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).

Taxonomic Approach

The taxonomic position of three bacterial strains, Asr22-19T, NBRC 101035 and NBRC 101041, isolated from shellfish in Japan, was determined by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The strains were facultatively anaerobic, motile by gliding and Gram-staining-negative slender rods. Their major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-7 and their predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH, C16 : 0 3-OH, and C16 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 42.0–42.7 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strains clustered with the genus Persicobacter in the family ‘Flammeovirgaceae’. DNA–DNA relatedness values were higher than 68 % among strains Asr22-19T, NBRC 101035 and NBRC 101041, and were lower than 28 % between strain Asr22-19T and Persicobacter diffluens NBRC 15940T. The three novel strains could be differentiated from Persicobacter diffluens by several phenotypic characteristics. On the basis of these results, the novel species Persicobacter psychrovividus sp. nov. (type strain Asr22-19T=NBRC 101262T=CIP 109100T) is proposed and emended descriptions are given for the genus Persicobacter and for Persicobacter diffluens.

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).

Two Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strains were isolated from the surfaces of rice roots. They were designated as strains 1303T and 1310. Their colonies were circular, entire, opaque, convex and yellow. They were chitinase- and catalase-positive, reduced nitrate and grew at 16–37 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 5.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and 0–2.0% NaCl (optimum, 1.0 %). Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, they were classified as members of the genus Chitinophaga . Results of phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses indicated that they formed a cluster with Chitinophaga eiseniae YC6729T, Chitinophaga qingshengii JN246T, Chitinophaga varians 10-7 W-9003T and Chitinophaga fulva G-6-1-13T. When the genomic sequences of strains 1303T and 1310 were compared with their close relatives, the average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values were below the cut-off levels. Phosphatidylethanolamine was the major polar lipid. MK-7 was the major respiratory quinone. iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 1  ω5c, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω7c/C16 : 1  ω6c) were the predominant fatty acids. Differential characteristics between both strains and their close relatives were also observed. Based on the distinctions in genotypic, phenotypic and chemotypic features, strains 1303T and 1310 represent members of a novel species of the genus Chitinophaga , for which the name Chitinophaga oryzae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 1303T (=KACC 22075T=TBRC 12926T).

Abstract Strain SZY PN-1T, representing a novel Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped and yellow-pigmented bacterium, was isolated from a skin sample of a healthy Chinese people. Growth of SZY PN-1T optimally occurred at pH 7.0, at 30 ºC and tolerate up to 1.0 % (w/v) NaCl. According to the absorption spectrum, carotenoid was present in the cells. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene revealed that strain SZY PN-1T shared high similarities with Sandaracinobacter sibiricus RB16-17T (97.1 %) and Sandaracinobacter neustonicus JCM 30734T (96.6 %), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences together with protein-concatamer tree showed that SZY PN-1T formed a separate branch within the genus Sandaracinobacter. The DNA G+C content of the strain SZY PN-1T was 65.0 % (genome). The polar lipid profile included phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, two sphingoglycolipids, diphosphatidylglycerol, five unidentified glycolipids and seven unidentified lipids. The predominant fatty acids (> 10.0 %) were identified as C18:1 ω7c and/or C18:1 ω6c, C17:1 ω6c, C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-10. Based on the phenotypic and genotypic features, we proposed Sandaracinobacter hominis sp. nov. with type strain SZY PN-1T (= KCTC 82150T = NBRC 114675T).
