A Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile and coccoid actinobacterium, designated P31T, was isolated from a traditional, fermented seafood. The strain was catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Cells grew in the presence of 0–15.0 % (w/v) NaCl, and at pH 5–10 and 15–37 °C. Major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. Strain P31T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain P31T was 65.2 mol%. A phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain P31T was most closely related to Kocuria kristinae DSM 20032T, with 96.9 % similarity, and these two strains clustered together in constructed phylogenetic trees. The DNA–DNA hybridization value between strain P31T and K. kristinae DSM 20032T was 21.1 %. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, it is suggested that strain P31T represents a novel species of the genus Kocuria, for which the name Kocuria koreensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is P31T (=KCTC 19595T=JCM 15915T).

Three indigo-reducing obligately alkaliphilic strains, M3T, 41A and 41C, were isolated. The isolates grew at pH 9–12, but not at pH 7–8. They were Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, straight rod-shaped strains with peritrichous flagella. The isolates grew in 0–14 % (w/v) NaCl, with optimum growth at 3–13 %. They grew at temperatures between 10 and 45 °C, with optimum growth at around 30–37 °C. They did not hydrolyse starch or gelatin. dl-lactate was the major end-product from d-glucose. No quinones could be detected. The peptidoglycan type was A4β, Orn–d-Asp. The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0, C16 : 17c and C18 : 19c. The DNA G+C content was 42·6–43·2 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence data indicated that the isolates belong to the genus Alkalibacterium. DNA–DNA hybridization revealed low similarity (less than 16 %) of the isolates with respect to the two closest phylogenetically related strains, Alkalibacterium olivapovliticus and Alkalibacterium psychrotolerans. On the basis of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, phylogenetic data and DNA–DNA relatedness, the isolates merit classification as a novel species of the genus Alkalibacterium, for which the name Alkalibacterium iburiense is proposed. The type strain is M3T (=JCM 12662T=NCIMB 14024T).

In this study, a novel betaproteobacterium, strain DPN7T, was isolated under mesophilic conditions from compost because of its capacity to utilize the organic disulfide 3,3′-dithiodipropionic acid. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain DPN7T revealed 98.5 % similarity to that of Tetrathiobacter kashmirensis LMG 22695T. Values for sequence similarity to members of the genera Alcaligenes, Castellaniella and Taylorella, the nearest neighbours of the genus Tetrathiobacter, were about 95 % or less. The DNA G+C content of strain DPN7T was 55.1 mol%. The level of DNA–DNA hybridization between strain DPN7T and T. kashmirensis LMG 22695T was 41 %, whereas it was much lower between strain DPN7T and Alcaligenes faecalis LMG 1229T (7 %) or Castellaniella defragrans LMG 18538T (5 %). This genotypic divergence was supported by differences in biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics. For this reason, and because of the differences in the protein and fatty acid profiles, strain DPN7T should be classified within a novel species of Tetrathiobacter, for which the name Tetrathiobacter mimigardefordensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain DPN7T (=DSM 17166T=LMG 22922T).
