Chemotaxonomic Markers

A Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped actinomycete, designated strain DSW-2T, was isolated from a seaweed sample collected around Mara Island, Jeju, Republic of Korea. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain DSW-2T belongs to the suborder Micrococcineae and forms a distinct clade separated from representatives of the several families of this order. Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the novel strain and members of this suborder were lower than 96.4 %. The peptidoglycan type is A3α with Lys–Ser as the interpeptide bridge. Whole-cell sugars are glucose and galactose. The major menaquinone is MK-9(H4). The predominant fatty acid is ai-C15 : 0. The polar lipids are phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. The DNA G+C content was 68.3 mol%. On the basis of the chemotaxonomic markers and phylogenetic distinctiveness presented here, it is evident that the isolate represents a novel taxon within the suborder Micrococcineae. The name Koreibacter algae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain DSW-2T (=KCTC 13436T =DSM 22126T).

Moderately Halophilic Bacterium

A moderately halophilic bacterium, strain YIM 70202T, was isolated from a desert soil sample collected from Egypt and was subjected to a taxonomic investigation. In a phylogenetic dendrogram based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain YIM 70202T was affiliated to the Salinicoccus clade, showing 94.5–96.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the recognized species of the genus Salinicoccus, in which Salinicoccus roseus CCM 3516T was the nearest neighbour. The DNA–DNA relatedness value of the novel isolate with S. roseus CCM 3516T was 12.7 %. The novel isolate grew at temperatures between 4 and 45 °C and at pH values ranging from 7.0 to 11.0, with an optimum of 30 °C and pH 8.0–9.0, respectively. Strain YIM 70202T grew optimally in the presence of 10 % NaCl (w/v) and growth was observed at NaCl concentrations in the range 1–25 % (w/v). Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain YIM 70202T contained MK-6 as the predominant respiratory quinone, possessed l-Lys–Gly5 as the cell-wall peptidoglycan, had phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and an unknown glycolipid as the polar lipids and contained i-C15 : 0 and ai-C15 : 0 as the predominant fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 49.7 mol%. The biochemical and chemotaxonomic properties demonstrate that strain YIM 70202T represents a novel species of the genus Salinicoccus. The name Salinicoccus luteus sp. nov. is proposed with strain YIM 70202T (=CGMCC 1.6511T=KCTC 3941T) as the type strain.

Different Strains

Twenty morphologically different strains were chosen from French wheat sourdough isolates. Cells were Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile rods. The isolates were identified using amplified-fragment length polymorphism, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. All isolates were members of the genus Lactobacillus. They were identified as representing Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paralimentarius, Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis, Lactobacillus spicheri and Lactobacillus sakei. However, two isolates (LP38T and LP39) could be clearly discriminated from recognized Lactobacillus species on the basis of genotyping methods. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and DNA–DNA relatedness data indicate that the two strains belong to a novel Lactobacillus species, for which the name Lactobacillus hammesii is proposed. The type strain is LP38T (=DSM 16381T=CIP 108387T=TMW 1.1236T).

A non-motile and non-endospore-forming rod, strain NBRC 16403T, was isolated from the phyllosphere of a sedge (Carex sp.). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain NBRC 16403T was closely related to Herbiconiux solani DSM 19813T (98.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Herbiconiux ginsengi wged11T (97.8 %) and Herbiconiux moechotypicola RB-62T (97.8 %). The peptidoglycan (B2γ type) contained d- and l-2,4-diaminobutyric acids, d-alanine, glycine and threo-3-hydroxyglutamic acid, which replaced glutamic acid almost completely. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10 and MK-11. The polar lipid pattern comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, three glycolipids and minor amounts of other polar lipids. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0; no cyclohexyl-C17 : 0 was detected. The DNA G+C content was 71.0 mol%. The results of phylogenetic and DNA–DNA relatedness studies, along with phenotypic differences between strain NBRC 16403T and recognized members of the genus Herbiconiux, indicated that the isolate should be assigned to a novel species of the genus Herbiconiux, for which the name Herbiconiux flava sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NBRC 16403T ( = VKM Ac-2058T).

The Family

A bacterial strain, DC-186T, isolated from home-made compost, was characterized for its phenotypic and phylogenetic properties. The isolate was a Gram-negative rod that was able to grow at 15–36 °C and pH 5.5–8.0. Strain DC-186T was positive in tests for catalase, oxidase and β-galactosidase activities and aesculin hydrolysis. The predominant fatty acids were the summed feature C16 : 1/iso-C15 : 0 2-OH (42 %) and iso-C15 : 0 (26 %), the major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-7 and the genomic DNA G+C content was 42 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and phenetic characterization indicated that this organism belongs to the phylum Bacteroidetes and revealed its affiliation to the family Sphingobacteriaceae. Of recognized taxa, strain DC-186T was most closely related to Sphingobacterium daejeonense (90 % sequence similarity) based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with other recognized taxa and the identification of distinctive phenetic features for this isolate support the definition of a new genus within the family Sphingobacteriaceae. The name Pseudosphingobacterium domesticum gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed, with strain DC-186T (=CCUG 54353T=LMG 23837T) as the type strain.

Content Type

A novel myxobacterium, MCy1366T (Ar1733), was isolated in 1981 from a soil sample collected from a region near Tokyo, Japan. It displayed general myxobacterial features like Gram-negative-staining, rod-shaped vegetative cells, gliding on solid surfaces, microbial lytic activity, fruiting-body-like aggregates and myxospore-like structures. The strain was mesophilic, aerobic and showed a chemoheterotrophic mode of nutrition. It was resistant to many antibiotics such as cephalosporin C, kanamycin, gentamicin, hygromycin B, polymyxin and bacitracin, and the key fatty acids of whole cell hydrolysates were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 2-OH. The genomic DNA G+C content of the novel strain was 65.6 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence showed highest similarity (97.60 %) to ‘Stigmatella koreensis’ strain KYC-1019 (GenBank accession no. EF112185). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and MALDI-TOF MS data revealed a novel branch in the family Myxococcaceae . DNA–DNA hybridization showed only 28 % relatedness between the novel strain and the closest recognized species, Corallococcus exiguus DSM 14696T (97 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). A recent isolate from a soil sample collected in Switzerland, MCy10622, displayed 99.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with strain MCy1366T and showed almost the same characteristics. Since some morphological features like fruiting-body-like aggregates were barely reproducible in the type strain, the newly isolated strain, MCy10622, was also intensively studied. On the basis of a comprehensive taxonomic study, we propose a novel genus and species, Aggregicoccus edonensis gen. nov., sp. nov., for strains MCy1366T and MCy10622. The type strain of the type species is MCy1366T ( = DSM 27872T = NCCB 100468T).

Gene Sequence Analysis

Two anaerobic, pigmented, non-spore-forming, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped strains isolated from the human oral cavity, OMA31T and OMA130, were characterized by determining their phenotypic and biochemical features, cellular fatty acid profiles and phylogenetic positions based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the new isolates belonged to a single species of the genus Prevotella. The two isolates showed 100 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with each other and were most closely related to Prevotella intermedia ATCC 25611T with 96.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity; the next most closely related strains to the isolates were Prevotella pallens AHN 10371T (96.1 %) and Prevotella falsenii JCM 15124T (95.3 %). Phenotypic and biochemical characteristics of the isolates were the same as those of P. intermedia JCM 12248T, P. falsenii JCM 15124T and Prevotella nigrescens JCM 12250T. The isolates could be differentiated from P. pallens JCM 11140T by mannose fermentation and α-fucosidase activity. Conventional biochemical tests were unable to differentiate the new isolates from P. intermedia, P. falsenii and P. nigrescens. However, hsp60 gene sequence analysis suggested that strain OMA31T was not a representative of P. intermedia, P. pallens, P. falsenii or P. nigrescens. Based on these data, a novel species of the genus Prevotella, Prevotella aurantiaca sp. nov., is proposed, with OMA31T (=JCM 15754T=CCUG 57723T) as the type strain.

A Gram-reaction-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, aerobic rod, designated BXN5-15T, was isolated from the soil of a ginseng field on Baekdu Mountain in China. Strain BXN5-15T grew optimally at 30 °C and pH 6.0–7.0 in the absence of NaCl on R2A agar. Strain BXN5-15T displayed β-glucosidase activity, which allowed it to transform ginsenoside Rb1 (one of the dominant active components of ginseng) via Rd to minor ginsenoside F2. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain BXN5-15T was shown to belong to the genus Solirubrobacter. The closest phylogenetic relatives were Solirubrobacter soli Gsoil 355T (98.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Solirubrobacter pauli B33D1T (96.4 %). Lower sequence similarities (<96.0 %) were found with all of the other recognized members of the order Solirubrobacterales. The predominant quinone was MK-7(H4). The major fatty acids (>10 %) were C18 : 1ω9c, iso-C16 : 0 and C18 : 3ω6,9,12c. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 70.6 mol%. DNA−DNA relatedness between strain BXN5-15T and S. soli KCTC 12628T was 23.3 %. On the basis of genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain BXN5-15T represents a novel species within the genus Solirubrobacter, for which the name Solirubrobacter ginsenosidimutans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BXN5-15T ( = KACC 20671T  = LMG 24459T).

A thermophilic strain, designated YIM 10002T, was isolated from a soil sample of Big Empty Volcano in Tengchong county, Yunnan province, south-west China, and a polyphasic approach was used to investigate its taxonomic position. Strain YIM 10002T formed endospores on both aerial and substrate mycelia. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, ribose, xylose and glucose. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol mannosides, together with some unknown phospholipids. The G+C content of its genomic DNA was 48.6 mol%. All of these chemotaxonomic data together with morphological characters consistently assigned strain YIM 10002T to the genus Laceyella. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain YIM 10002T was most closely related to Laceyella sacchari KCTC 9790T and Laceyella putida KCTC 3666T (99.9 and 98.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). However, strain YIM 10002T showed relatively low DNA–DNA relatedness (34.0 and 39.0 %, respectively) with the above strains. Therefore, strain YIM 10002T represents a novel species of the genus Laceyella, for which the name Laceyella tengchongensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 10002T (=DSM 45262T =CCTCC AA 208050T).

A novel aerobic, chemo-organoheterotrophic bacterium, strain Ac_26_B10T, was isolated from a semiarid savannah soil collected in northern Namibia (Mashare, Kavango region). Based on analysis of its nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence, the isolate belongs to the genus Terriglobus (family Acidobacteriaceae, order Acidobacteriales, class Acidobacteria) and shares 98.3 and 96.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with its closest relatives, Terriglobus tenax DRP 35T and T. aquaticus O3SUJ4T. Cells were Gram-negative, coccoid to rod-shaped, non-motile and divided by binary fission. Strain Ac_26_B10T showed weak catalase activity and, in contrast to the other described species of the genus Terriglobus, was oxidase-positive. Compared with the already established species of the genus Terriglobus, the novel strain used a larger range of sugars and sugar alcohols for growth, lacked α-mannosidase activity and exhibited a higher temperature optimum of growth. DNA–DNA hybridization studies with its closest phylogenetic relative, T. tenax DSM 28898T, confirmed that strain Ac_26_B10T represents a distinct genomospecies. Its most abundant fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) and C16 : 0. Dominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and diphosphatidylglycerol. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8; minor amounts of MK-7 and MK-8(H2) were also recorded. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 58.5 mol%. On the basis of our polyphasic analysis, Ac_26_B10T represents a novel species of the genus Terriglobus, for which the name Terriglobus albidus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Ac_26_B10T ( = DSM 26559T = LMG 27984T).

Strain TSBY 67T was isolated during a study on the phylogenetic diversity of culturable bacteria from alpine permafrost in Tianshan Mountains, China. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain TSBY 67T was closely related to members of the genus Chryseobacterium and exhibited 96.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Chryseobacterium aquaticum 10-46T and Chryseobacterium soldanellicola PSD 1-4T. Strain TSBY 67T grew aerobically, at 4–37 °C, with 0–2 % NaCl and at pH 6–8. Cells were Gram-staining negative, non-motile and non-spore-forming rods. The dominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (26.9 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (16.1 %) and iso-C17 : 1ω9c (15.4 %). The G+C content of the DNA was 33.5 mol%. Strain TSBY 67T was distinguishable from its closest phylogenetic neighbours by a combination of phenotypic characteristics. Therefore, strain TSBY 67T represents a novel species of the genus Chryseobacterium, for which the name Chryseobacterium xinjiangense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TSBY 67T ( = NRRL B-51308T = CCTCC AB 207183T).
