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-staining-negative, rod-shaped, gliding and pale-pink-pigmented bacterium, designated strain ZLM-10T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from an arid area in Xinjiang province, China, and characterized in a taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach. The novel strain grew optimally at 30–37 °C and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) sea salts. The only respiratory quinone detected was MK-7 and the major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c), iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminolipid and two unidentified aminophospholipids. The DNA G+C content was 45.4 mol%. Flexirubin-type pigments were not produced. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ZLM-10T was a member of the phylum Bacteroidetes and appeared most closely related to Cesiribacter roseus 311T (90.2 % sequence similarity), Marivirga sericea LMG 13021T (89.2 %), Cesiribacter andamanensis AMV16T (89.1 %) and Marivirga tractuosa DSM 4126T (89.1 %). On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data and phylogenetic inference, strain ZLM-10T should be classified as a novel species of a new genus in the family Flammeovirgaceae , for which the name Nafulsella turpanensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is ZLM-10T ( = CCTCC AB 208222T = KCTC 23983T).

Two Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterial strains, 1-2T and 1-4 were isolated from dry riverbed soil collected from the Xietongmen area of Tibet, China. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the novel strains were shown to belong to the genus Pedobacter, sharing <95 % sequence similarity with all recognized species of the genus Pedobacter. The major respiratory quinone was MK-7 and the predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (comprising iso-C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c). The DNA G+C contents were 37.2–37.6 mol%. Chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of the two new isolates to the genus Pedobacter and the results of physiological and biochemical tests confirmed that the new strains differed significantly from the recognized species of the genus Pedobacter. Therefore, the new isolates represent a novel species within the genus Pedobacter, for which the name Pedobacter glucosidilyticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 1-2T (=CCTCC AB 206110T=KCTC 22438T).

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).

An aerobic, yellow–orange-pigmented, Gram-staining-negative bacterium, designated strain EM44T, was isolated from seawater on the eastern coast of Jeju Island, Korea. Growth was observed at 15–35 °C (optimum 25–30 °C), pH 6.5–9.0 (optimum pH 7.0–8.5) and between 1 and 5 % NaCl (w/v) (optimum 2–4 %). Cells of strain EM44T were non-motile, straight rods and showed catalase and oxidase activities. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 47.9 mol% and the major respiratory quinone was MK-6. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 G, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and iso-C16 : 0 3-OH. Strain EM44T contained phosphatidylethanolamine as a major polar phospholipid. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain EM44T fell within the family Flavobacteriaceae in the phylum Bacteroidetes and was most closely related to members of the genera Eudoraea, Zeaxanthinibacter and Robiginitalea with 92–94.5 % gene sequence similarities. On the basis of chemotaxonomic data and molecular properties, it is clear that strain EM44T represents a novel genus within the family Flavobacteriaceae, for which the name Muriicola jejuensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is EM44T (=KCTC 22299T=DSM 21206T).
