A Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, yellowish-orange-pigmented bacterial strain, designated JC2436T, was isolated from tidal-flat sediment of Oi Island in Korea. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated its close affiliation to Vitellibacter vladivostokensis, with 96 % sequence similarity to the type strain. Cells grew with 2–6 % NaCl and at 10–41 °C. Orange flexirubin pigments were present. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-6, the DNA G+C content was 48.7 mol% and the predominant fatty acids (>10 %) were iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The data obtained from this polyphasic study support the classification of this isolate within a novel species in the genus Vitellibacter, for which the name Vitellibacter aestuarii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JC2436T (=IMSNU 14137T =KACC 13727T =KCTC 22361T =JCM 15496T).

A Gram-staining-negative, aerobic and moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain NS6T, was isolated from sea-tidal-flat sediment of the South Sea in Korea. Cells were motile rods with a single flagellum showing positive catalase and oxidase activities. Strain NS6T grew at 15–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0–7.5) and in the presence of 1–5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2 %). Ubiquinone-10 was identified as the only isoprenoid quinone and summed feature 8 (comprising C18 : 1ω7c/ω6c), C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c, C16 : 0 and C10 : 0 3-OH were the major fatty acids. Strain NS6T contained phosphatidylglycerol, sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol, an unidentified amino lipid and an unidentified lipid as the major polar lipids. An unidentified phospholipid and three unidentified lipids were also detected as the minor polar lipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 64.5 mol%. Strain NS6T was most closely related to Confluentimicrobium lipolyticum SSK1-4T with a 96.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, and the phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain NS6T formed a tight phylogenetic lineage with C. lipolyticum SSK1-4T. The physiological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic properties suggest that strain NS6T represents a novel species of the genus Confluentimicrobium, for which the name Confluentimicrobium naphthalenivorans sp. nov. is proposed.

Bacterial strain CP183-8T was isolated from biological soil crusts collected in the Colorado Plateau, USA. Cells of this strain were aerobic, non-motile, Gram-negative, psychrotolerant and formed beaded chains in the stationary growth phase. They contained C16 : 1 ω5c and C16 : 1 ω7c as major fatty acids. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis assigned the strain to the genus Dyadobacter. However, it shared a sequence similarity of only 95·88 % with the type strain of Dyadobacter fermentans, NS114T. Because it also exhibited a significant number of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic differences from D. fermentans, it is described as a novel second species in the genus Dyadobacter, with the name Dyadobacter crusticola sp. nov. The type strain is CP183-8T (=DSM 16708T=ATCC BAA-1036T).
