A Gram-negative, non-motile and pleomorphic bacterial strain, SMK-114T, which belongs to the class Alphaproteobacteria, was isolated from a tidal flat sample collected in Byunsan, Korea. Strain SMK-114T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0 and 25–30 °C and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SMK-114T formed a cluster with Octadecabacter species, with which it exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 95.2–95.4 %. This cluster was part of the clade comprising Thalassobius species with a bootstrap resampling value of 76.3 %. Strain SMK-114T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 95.1–96.3 % to members of the genus Thalassobius. It contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c as the major fatty acid. The DNA G+C content was 60.0 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain SMK-114T is considered to represent a novel species in a new genus for which the name Gaetbulicola byunsanensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Gaetbulicola byunsanensis is SMK-114T (=KCTC 22632T =CCUG 57612T).

Strain B538T is a Gram-positive, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, which was isolated from Xinjiang province in China. This organism grew optimally at 30–35 °C and pH 8.0–8.5. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain B538T belonged to the genus Paenibacillus and chemotaxonomic data (DNA G+C content, 47.0 mol%; major isoprenoid quinone, MK-7; cell wall type, A1γ meso-diaminopimelic acid; major fatty acids, anteiso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 0) supported affiliation of the isolate with the genus Paenibacillus. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that the isolate was most closely related to Paenibacillus glycanilyticus DS-1T, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 98.1 %; sequence similarities to other members of the genus Paenibacillus used in the phylogenetic tree were less than 96.5 %. The DNA–DNA relatedness between strain B538T and P. glycanilyticus DS-1T was about 8.0 %. On the basis of physiological and molecular properties, strain B538T (=KCTC 3952T=DSM 16970T) is proposed as the type strain of a novel species within the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus xinjiangensis sp. nov. is proposed.

Three Gram-variable, rod-shaped bacterial strains, TF-16T, TF-19 and TF-80T, were isolated from a tidal flat of Daepo Beach (Yellow Sea) near Mokpo City, Korea, and their taxonomic positions were investigated by a polyphasic approach. These isolates grew optimally in the presence of 2 % NaCl and at 30 °C. Their peptidoglycan types were based on l-Lys–Gly. The predominant menaquinone detected in the three strains was MK-7. The three strains contained large amounts of the branched fatty acids iso-C17 : 0, anteiso-C13 : 0, iso-C13 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C contents of strains TF-16T, TF-19 and TF-80T were 48·6, 48·4 and 48·0 mol%, respectively. The three strains formed a coherent cluster with Exiguobacterium species in a phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. They showed closest phylogenetic affiliation to Exiguobacterium aurantiacum, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 98·1–98·3 %. The three strains exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 94·0–94·6 % to the type strains of other Exiguobacterium species. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness indicated that strains TF-16T and TF-19 and strain TF-80T are members of two species that are separate from E. aurantiacum. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strains TF-16T and TF-19 and strain TF-80T represent two novel species in the genus Exiguobacterium; the names Exiguobacterium aestuarii sp. nov. (type strain TF-16T=KCTC 19035T=DSM 16306T; reference strain TF-19) and Exiguobacterium marinum sp. nov. (type strain TF-80T=KCTC 19036T=DSM 16307T) are proposed.

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming and short rod- or rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated 22-5T, was isolated from a bluespotted cornetfish, Fistularia commersonii, and subjected to taxonomic study. Strain 22-5T grew optimally at 30 °C and in the presence of 2–5 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain 22-5T belonged to the genus Paracoccus and joined the cluster comprising Paracoccus homiensis DD-R11T and Paracoccus zeaxanthinifaciens ATCC 21588T, with which strain 22-5T exhibited 97.4 and 96.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively. Strain 22-5T exhibited 94.0–96.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with the other type strains of species of the genus Paracoccus. Strain 22-5T contained Q-10 as the predominant menaquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c as the predominant fatty acid. In this study, P. zeaxanthinifaciens KCTC 22688T also contained Q-10 as the predominant isoprenoid quinone. The DNA G+C content of strain 22-5T was 63.6 mol%. Strain 22-5T exhibited 44 and 32 % DNA–DNA relatedness to P. homiensis KACC 11518T and P. zeaxanthinifaciens KCTC 22688T, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strain 22-5T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Paracoccus, for which the name Paracoccus fistulariae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 22-5T (=KCTC 22803T =CCUG 58401T).

An aerobic, actinobacterial strain with rod-shaped spores, EUM 221T, which was isolated from the surface-sterilized stem of a grey box tree (Eucalyptus microcarpa), is described. Phylogenetic evaluation based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity showed that this isolate belongs to the family Pseudonocardiaceae, with the closest neighbour being Pseudonocardia zijingensis 6330T (98.7 %). The level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the isolate and species of the genus Pseudonocardia with validly published names ranged from 95 to 98 %. Chemotaxonomic data (meso-diaminopimelic acid; major menaquinone MK-8(H4); major fatty acid iso-C16 : 0) confirmed the affiliation of strain EUM 221T to the genus Pseudonocardia. The results of the phylogenetic analysis, including physiological and biochemical studies in combination with DNA–DNA hybridization, allowed the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain EUM 221T from the closest described species. Therefore, this strain represented a novel species and the name proposed is Pseudonocardia adelaidensis sp. nov. The type strain is EUM 221T (=DSM 45352T =ACM 5286T).

Two Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped strains, SW-2T and SW-26, were isolated from sea water of the East Sea in Korea. These organisms grew optimally at 37 °C and in the presence of 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl. They did not grow without NaCl or in the presence of >9 % (w/v) NaCl. Strains SW-2T and SW-26 were characterized chemotaxonomically as having MK-7 as the predominant isoprenoid quinone and iso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acid. The DNA G+C content of strains SW-2T and SW-26 was 43 mol%. A neighbour-joining tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains SW-2T and SW-26 fell within the Cytophaga–Flavobacterium–Bacteroides group and formed a coherent cluster with Hongiella species. Strains SW-2T and SW-26 showed a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value of 99·9 % and a mean DNA–DNA relatedness level of 87 % to each other. Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains SW-2T and SW-26 and the type strains of two Hongiella species ranged from 94·2 to 96·6 %. On the basis of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strains SW-2T and SW-26 should be placed in the genus Hongiella as members of a novel species, for which the name Hongiella marincola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SW-2T (=KCTC 12180T=DSM 16067T).

Two Gram-negative, non-motile, non-pigmented and curved rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated IMCC4489T and IMCC4451, were isolated from a tidal flat sediment of the Yellow Sea. Strains IMCC4489T and IMCC4451 shared 99.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and 78.5 % DNA–DNA relatedness, which suggested that they belonged to the same species. The isolates were most closely related to Reinekea blandensis MED297T (98.7–98.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Reinekea marinisedimentorum DSM 15388T (95.3–95.4 %). DNA–DNA relatedness between the strains and R. blandensis CCUG 52066T was 31–34 %. Strains IMCC4489T and IMCC4451 could also be differentiated from the type strains of the two recognized Reinekea species by several phenotypic properties. The DNA G+C content was 51.3–51.5 mol% and the major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. On the basis of the data obtained in this study, it is proposed that strains IMCC4489T and IMCC4451 represent a novel species, Reinekea aestuarii sp. nov. The type strain is IMCC4489T (=KCTC 22813T =KCCM 42938T =NBRC 106079T).

A Gram-staining-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, BR-3T, was isolated from a tidal flat on the western coast of Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic study. Strain BR-3T grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 6.5–7.0 and in the absence of NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain BR-3T fell within the clade comprising species of the genus Mucilaginibacter, joining the type strain of Mucilaginibacter rigui, with which it exhibited highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.2 %). 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values between strain BR-3T and the type strains of the other species of the genus Mucilaginibacter were in the range 93.8–95.9 %. A mean DNA–DNA relatedness value between strain BR-3T and M. rigui KCTC 12534T was 21 %. Strain BR-3T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and iso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and an unidentified aminophospholipid. The DNA G+C content was 49.8 mol%. Differential phenotypic properties and phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness of strain BR-3T demonstrated that this strain is separate from M. rigui as well as the other species of the genus Mucilaginibacter. On the basis of the data presented, strain BR-3T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter, for which the name Mucilaginibacter lutimaris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BR-3T ( = KCTC 23461T  = CCUG 60742T).

Two moderately halotolerant Gram-negative bacteria were isolated from tidal flat sediment of the South Sea in Korea (the Korea Strait). The strains, designated M9T and M18T, were strictly aerobic, rod-shaped and non-spore-forming and motile with a flagellum and their major fatty acids were C16 : 0 and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c. Strains M9T and M18T could grow in the presence of up to 13–15 % (w/v) NaCl, but their optimum salt concentrations were relatively low (0–3 %, w/v). The major predominant isoprenoid quinone was Q-8 and the G+C content of the genomic DNA was 57–58 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses and comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence studies revealed that strains M9T and M18T formed a phylogenetic lineage distinct from the genus Teredinibacter within the class Gammaproteobacteria and were most closely related to the genera Microbulbifer, Saccharophagus and Teredinibacter, with less than 92·5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. The level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the two strains was 96·7 %. On the basis of physiological and phylogenetic properties, strains M9T and M18T represent separate species within a novel genus of the class Gammaproteobacteria, for which the names Marinimicrobium koreense gen. nov., sp. nov. (type species) and Marinimicrobium agarilyticum sp. nov. are proposed. The type strains of Marinimicrobium koreense and Marinimicrobium agarilyticum are M9T (=KCTC 12356T=DSM 16974T) and M18T (=KCTC 12357T=DSM 16975T), respectively.

Five endospore-forming, nitrogen-fixing strains were isolated from rhizosphere soils of Zanthoxylum simulans planted in Beijing, China. Phylogenetic analysis based on full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the five strains formed a distinct cluster within the genus Paenibacillus. High levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity were found between these novel strains and Paenibacillus azotofixans ATCC 35681T (97.8–98.5 % similarity) and Paenibacillus stellifer DSM 14472T (95.4–96.3 %). Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the novel isolates and other species of the genus Paenibacillus were less than 95.0 %. Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity among the isolates were more than 98.0 %. DNA–DNA relatedness between the five novel isolates and P. azotofixans ATCC 35681T was 45.50–47.45 % and relatedness among the five novel strains was 95.8–99.6 %. A significant feature of the novel strains that differentiated them from P. azotofixans and other Paenibacillus species was that none of the novel strains could produce acid or gas from the following various carbohydrates: glucose, sucrose, lactose, fructose, glycerol, xylose, maltose, d-sorbitol, sodium succinate, sodium citrate, glycine or l-aspartate. Anteiso-branched C15 : 0 was the major fatty acid component (36.59 %) of novel strain JH29T. On the basis of phenotypic properties, 16S rRNA gene sequences, DNA G+C content, DNA–DNA hybridization, chemotaxonomic properties and the nifH gene sequence, the five novel strains form a very homogeneous group which is different from other related species within the genus Paenibacillus. Therefore, the five novel strains are considered to represent a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus zanthoxyli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JH29T (=CCBAU 10243T=DSM 18202T).

A Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, S1-3T, was isolated from a tidal flat sediment on the west coast of Korea and its taxonomic position was investigated. Strain S1-3T grew optimally at 30 °C and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain S1-3T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and iso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 41.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain S1-3T fell within the clade comprising Algoriphagus species, clustering with Algoriphagus halophilus IMSNU 14013T, with which it exhibited 99.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain S1-3T and the type strains of other Algoriphagus species was 94.0–97.1 %. Differential phenotypic properties and phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness of strain S1-3T demonstrated that this strain is distinguishable from the other Algoriphagus species as well as A. halophilus. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strain S1-3T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Algoriphagus, for which the name Algoriphagus lutimaris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S1-3T (=KCTC 22630T =CCUG 57608T).
