A Gram-negative-staining, non-motile, non-spore-forming and strictly aerobic bacterial strain, SC35T, was isolated from tidal flat sediment collected from the South Sea, Korea, and subjected to a taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach. The organism grew optimally at 20–30 °C and with 1–2 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain SC35T contained ubiquinone-8 as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone and C18 : 1 ω9c as the major fatty acid. The DNA G+C content was 48.5 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SC35T formed a lineage within the genus Psychrobacter (94.3–96.5 % sequence similarity), forming a distinct branch in a clade also containing Psychrobacter pacificensis NIBH P2K6T and Psychrobacter celer SW-238T. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain SC35T (=KCTC 22503T=JCM 16343T) was placed in the genus Psychrobacter as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Psychrobacter aestuarii sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile rod, designated MA-My1T, was isolated from a tidal flat sediment of the South Sea, Korea. Strain MA-My1T grew optimally at pH 7.0–7.5, at 30 °C and with 2.0–3.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain MA-My1T clustered with Lutibacter litoralis CL-TF09T and Lutibacter maritimus S7-2T, with which it exhibited 97.3 and 95.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively. Strain MA-My1T contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH and iso-C16 : 0 3-OH as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content was 30.6 mol% and DNA–DNA relatedness between strain MA-My1T and L. litoralis JCM 13034T was 6.3±0.8 %. The differential phenotypic properties, together with phylogenetic and genotypic distinctiveness, distinguished strain MA-My1T from the members of the genus Lutibacter. On the basis of the data presented, strain MA-My1T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Lutibacter, for which the name Lutibacter aestuarii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MA-My1T ( = KCTC 23499T  = CCUG 60022T).

A Gram-negative, motile, strictly aerobic, violet-pigment-producing bacterium, designated strain FR1199T, was isolated from tidal flat sediment of Byunsan, South Korea. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain FR1199T represents a distinct line of descent within the genus Pseudoalteromonas. The phenotypic features of strain FR1199T were similar to those of Pseudoalteromonas phenolica and Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea, but several physiological and chemotaxonomical properties readily distinguished strain FR1199T from these species. Major fatty acids were straight-chain saturated (C16 : 0) and monounsaturated C18 : 1 ω7c fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 39 mol%. On the basis of polyphasic evidence, it is concluded that the isolate represents a novel species within the genus Pseudoalteromonas, for which the name Pseudoalteromonas byunsanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FR1199T (=JCM 12483T=KCTC 12274T).

Two non-motile, orange- or yellow-pigmented bacteria, designated strains KYW48T and KYW147T, were isolated from seawater collected from the South Sea, Republic of Korea. Cells of both strains were Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic and catalase- and oxidase-positive. The major fatty acids of strain KYW48T were C18 : 1ω7c (35.3 %), summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c) (22.7 %), C17 : 1ω6c (19.8 %), C14 : 0 2-OH (7.4 %) and C16 : 0 (5.9 %), and those of strain KYW147T were C18 : 1ω7c (36.0 %), summed feature 3 (18.3 %), C16 : 0 (14.7 %), 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c (10.7 %), C16 : 0 2-OH (9.1 %) and C18 : 1ω9c (8.0 %). The predominant isoprenoid quinone of both strains was ubiquinone 10 (Q-10). The DNA G+C contents of strains KYW48T and KYW147T were 63.8 and 67.2 mol%, respectively. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains KYW48T and KYW147T were grouped with the members of the family Erythrobacteraceae and formed a distinct clade with the members of the genus Altererythrobacter (<95.7 % sequence similarity).

Two sporulating bacterial strains designated CECAP06T and CECAP16 were isolated from the rhizosphere of the legume Cicer arietinum in Argentina. Almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequences identified the isolates as a Paenibacillus species. It was most closely related to Paenibacillus cineris LMG 18439T (99·6 % sequence similarity), Paenibacillus favisporus LMG 20987T (99·4 % sequence similarity) and Paenibacillus azoreducens DSM 13822T (97·7 % sequence similarity). The cells of this novel species were motile, sporulating, rod-shaped, Gram-positive and strictly aerobic. The predominant fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The DNA G+C content of strains CECAP06T and CECAP16 was 51·3 and 50·9 mol%, respectively. Growth was observed from many carbohydrates, but gas production was not observed from glucose. Catalase and oxidase activities were present. The isolates produced β-galactosidase and hydrolysed aesculin. Gelatinase, caseinase and urease were not produced. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization showed that the strains from this study constitute a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus rhizosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CECAP06T (=LMG 21955T=CECT 5831T).
