A Gram-negative, non-motile, short-rod-shaped bacterial strain (JLT1210T) that accumulates poly-β-hydroxybutyrate granules was isolated from the Beibu Gulf in the South China Sea. Cells have polar or subpolar flagella. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain belongs to the genus Oceanicola in the order Rhodobacterales, class Alphaproteobacteria. The closest neighbours were Oceanicola nanhaiensis SS011B1-20T (96.5 % similarity) and Oceanicola batsensis HTCC2597T (96.4 %). The predominant respiratory ubiquinone of strain JLT1210T was Q-10 and the DNA G+C content was 72.8 mol%. Evidence from genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data shows that strain JLT1210T represents a novel species of the genus Oceanicola, for which the name Oceanicola nitratireducens sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is JLT1210T (=LMG 24663T=CGMCC 1.7292T).

Emended Description

A novel marine bacterial strain, HY1T, was isolated from sediment of the South China Sea. The strain was aerobic and heterotrophic and formed saffron yellow-pigmented colonies on marine agar 2216. Cells were non-motile, Gram-negative rods, frequently occurring in chains. blastn searches revealed that the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain HY1T showed high similarity with those of members of the genera Gillisia (91.7–93.8 %) and Salegentibacter (92.6–93.5 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain clustered with members of both Salegentibacter and Gillisia and phylogenetic trees constructed using three different methods (neighbour-joining, maximum-parsimony and minimum-evolution) indicated that strain HY1T clustered more frequently with members of the genus Salegentibacter. The DNA G+C content of strain HY1T was 44.4 mol% and its major cellular fatty acids (⩾5 % of the total fatty acids) were iso-15 : 1 (5.0 %), iso-15 : 0 (6.8 %), anteiso-15 : 0 (6.4 %), 15 : 0 (10.4 %), iso-16 : 0 (13.5 %), summed feature 3 (comprising iso-15 : 0 2-OH and/or 16 : 1ω7c; 6.3 %), iso-17 : 0 3-OH (5.2 %) and 17 : 0 2-OH (5.0 %). Cells contained menaquinone 6. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic analyses, strain HY1T should be classified as representing a novel species within the genus Salegentibacter, for which the name Salegentibacter catena sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HY1T (=CGMCC 1.6101T=JCM 14015T). Based on this study and on previously described Salegentibacter species, an emended description of the genus Salegentibacter is given.

An aerobic and heterotrophic, Gram-negative bacterial isolate, strain HY34T, was isolated from sediment of an oilfield in the South China Sea, China. The taxonomy of strain HY34T was studied by phenotypic and phylogenetic methods. Strain HY34T formed faint-pink colonies on marine agar 2216. Cells of strain HY34T were non-motile, ovoid or short rods. Strain HY34T was positive for catalase and oxidase, and nitrate was reduced to nitrite. The nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain HY34T was obtained and sequence analysis showed that it, together with the genus Rubellimicrobium, formed a distinct clade close to some members of the Roseobacter clade in the family Rhodobacteraceae, and it showed highest sequence similarities to Oceanicola granulosus HTCC2516T (93.8 %), Silicibacter lacuscaerulensis ITI-1157T (93.3 %), Dinoroseobacter shibae DFL 12T (93.3 %) and Rubellimicrobium thermophilum C-lvk-R2A-2T (92.2 %). Bacteriochlorophyll a was not detected. The ubiquinone system was Q-10. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and an unidentified glycolipid. The major fatty acids (>10 %) were C18 : 1 ω7c and C16 : 0. The DNA G+C content of this strain was 69.4 mol%. A polyphasic analysis supported the conclusion that this strain represents a novel genus and species, which we designated Wenxinia marina gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Wenxinia marina is HY34T (=CGMCC 1.6105T =JCM 14017T).

A Gram-negative, motile, non-spore-forming and moderately halophilic ellipsoid-shaped marine coccobacillus, designated strain SS011B1-4T, was isolated from benthic sediment of the South China Sea. Optimum growth occurred at 30–37 °C, pH 7.5–8.0 and 4–8 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain SS011B1-4T utilized a variety of organic substrates as sole carbon sources, but did not utilize toluene, n-tetradecane or crude oil. Strain SS011B1-4T had ubiquinone-9 as the major respiratory quinone and C18 : 1 ω9c, C16 : 0 and C12 : 0 3-OH as the predominant fatty acids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 62.2 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SS011B1-4T belonged to the genus Marinobacter of the Gammaproteobacteria. The results of the phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic analyses revealed that strain SS011B1-4T represents a novel species of the genus Marinobacter. The name Marinobacter segnicrescens sp. nov. is therefore proposed, with strain SS011B1-4T (=LMG 23928T=CGMCC 1.6489T) as the type strain.

Three Gram-negative, non-spore-forming strains were isolated from sediment from the South China Sea, China, and their taxonomic positions were investigated using a polyphasic approach. Strains HN-171T, HN-172 and HN-181 grew optimally at 30 °C, in the presence of 4.5–5.0 NaCl % (w/v) and at pH 7.2–7.4. They contained MK-6 as the predominant respiratory quinone and contained iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 4 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c/t) and C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content of strain HN-171T was 34.5 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that strain HN-171T, together with strains HN-172 and HN-181, formed a distinct evolutionary lineage within the family Flavobacteriaceae. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains HN-171T, HN-172 and HN-181 shared 99.8–100 % similarity with each other, and the sequence of strain HN-171T exhibited similarity values below 90.2 % with those of other members of the family Flavobacteriaceae. The closest relative of HN-171T was Coenonia anatina LMG 14382T (90.2 %). On the basis of their phenotypic and phylogenetic properties, the three isolates represent a novel genus and a novel species, for which the name Zhouia amylolytica gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HN-171T (=CGMCC 1.6114T=JCM 14016T).
