Five Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming, coccoid rod-shaped bacterial isolates were obtained from infant formula and an infant formula production environment and were investigated by use of a polyphasic taxonomic study. Biochemical tests and partial rpoB gene sequence analysis of the five isolates revealed that they formed two distinct groups in the family Enterobacteriaceae, closely related to several species of the genera Pantoea and Erwinia, which indicated a phylogenetic position within the genus Pantoea or the genus Erwinia. Multilocus sequence analysis of concatenated partial atpD, gyrB, infB and rpoB gene sequences of two of the isolates suggested that they represented two novel species of the genus Pantoea, phylogenetically related most closely to Pantoea septica. The five isolates had general characteristics consistent with those of the genus Pantoea, and DNA–DNA hybridizations between two representatives and the type strains of their phylogenetically closest relatives based on comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolates represented two novel genospecies. These two genospecies could be differentiated from each other based on fermentation of galacturonate, sorbitol and potassium 5-ketogluconate. They could be differentiated from phylogenetically related Pantoea species based on their ability to ferment lactose and to utilize β-gentiobiose and raffinose, their inability to ferment or utilize d-arabitol, and their inability to produce indole. On the basis of the results obtained, the five isolates are considered to represent two novel species of the genus Pantoea, for which the names Pantoea gaviniae sp. nov. (type strain A18/07T =LMG 25382T =DSM 22758T) and Pantoea calida sp. nov. (type strain 1400/07T =LMG 25383T =DSM 22759T) are proposed.

The taxonomic position of strain JCM 2765T isolated from fermented cane molasses in Thailand was reinvestigated. Strain JCM 2765T was originally identified as representing Lactobacillus buchneri on the basis of biochemical and physiological characteristics. In the present study, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain JCM 2765T demonstrated a low level of similarity with the type strain of L. buchneri (92.5 %) and high levels with those of Lactobacillus collinoides (97.6 %) and Lactobacillus paracollinoides (98.0 %). Ribotyping was applied to investigate the relationships between strain JCM 2765T, L. collinoides and L. paracollinoides. The dendrogram based on ribotyping patterns showed one cluster for six strains of L. paracollinoides, and that strain JCM 2765T and L. collinoides JCM 1123T were each independent. Based on additional phenotypic findings and DNA–DNA hybridization results, strain JCM 2765T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Lactobacillus, for which the name Lactobacillus similis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JCM 2765T (=LMG 23904T).

A Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain DCY01T, was isolated from soil from a ginseng field in South Korea and was characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain DCY01T belonged to the Gammaproteobacteria and was most closely related to Stenotrophomonas koreensis KCTC 12211T (98.4 % similarity), Stenotrophomonas humi R-32729T (97.2 %), Stenotrophomonas terrae R-32768 (97.1 %), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia DSM 50170T (96.9 %) and Stenotrophomonas nitritireducens DSM 12575T (96.8 %). Chemotaxonomic analyses revealed that strain DCY01T possessed a quinone system with Q-8 as the predominant compound, and iso-C15 : 0 (28.2 %), C16 : 0 10-methyl (13.2 %), iso-C15 : 1 F (10.8 %) and C15 : 0 (7.5 %) as major fatty acids, corroborating assignment of strain DCY01T to the genus Stenotrophomonas. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests clearly demonstrated that strain DCY01T represents a species distinct from recognized Stenotrophomonas species. Based on these data, DCY01T (=KCTC 12539T=NBRC 101154T) should be classified as the type strain of a novel species of the genus Stenotrophomonas, for which the name Stenotrophomonas ginsengisoli sp. nov. is proposed.

Seven strains of anaerobic Gram-positive cocci isolated from human oral sites were subjected to a comprehensive range of phenotypic and genotypic tests. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the strains constituted a homogeneous group that was distinct from species with validly published names, but related to Peptostreptococcus anaerobius. All oral strains tested belonged to this group, whereas all non-oral strains studied were confirmed as P. anaerobius. A novel species, Peptostreptococcus stomatis sp. nov., is proposed to accommodate these oral strains. P. stomatis is weakly saccharolytic and produces acetic, butyric, isobutyric, isovaleric and isocaproic acids as end products of fermentation. The type strain of P. stomatis is W2278T (=DSM 17678T=CCUG 51858T); the G+C content of the DNA of this strain is 36 mol%.

AbstractA Gram-positive, obligately anaerobic coccobacillus, with the white raised circular colony was isolated from the cecum of feral chickens in Brookings, South Dakota, USA. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis suggested that the closest species to strain SW178 was Ruminococcus torques ATCC 27756T (96.94% similarity) that belongs to the family Lachnospiraceae. The genome of strain SW178 is 3.18 Mbp with G+C content of 46.9 mol%. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic comparison, we propose that strain SW178 be assigned to the genus Ruminococcus as a novel species, for which the name Ruminococcus catenae is proposed. The type strain is SW178 (= CCOS 1886 T, =DSM 109242T).

Two novel actinobacteria isolates, designated YIM 70009T and YIM 70081T, were characterized in order to determine their taxonomic position. Cells of strains YIM 70009T and YIM 70081T were cocci, although only the latter were motile. The G+C contents of their DNAs were 64·0 and 64·5 mol%, respectively. On the basis of chemotaxonomic characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the two isolates were classified in the genus Nesterenkonia. DNA–DNA hybridization and comparison of phenotypic characteristics revealed that strains YIM 70009T and YIM 70081T differed from each other and from known species. Therefore, it is proposed that they represent two separate novel species of the genus Nesterenkonia: Nesterenkonia sandarakina sp. nov. (type strain, YIM 70009T=CCTCC AA 203007T=DSM 15664T=KCTC 19011T) and Nesterenkonia lutea sp. nov. (type strain, YIM 70081T=CCTCC AA 203010T=DSM 15666T=KCTC 19013T).

The taxonomic position of a novel marine, heterotrophic, gliding, halotolerant and light-pink-pigmented bacterium, designated strain KMM 6221T, was examined by using a polyphasic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain KMM 6221T is affiliated with the genus Echinicola, a member of the phylum Bacteroidetes, with levels of similarity of 94.7–95.0 % to strains of Echinicola pacifica. Growth of strain KMM 6221T was observed with 0–15 % NaCl and at 6–44 °C. The DNA G+C content of strain KMM 6221T was 45.9 mol%. On the basis of molecular distinctiveness supported by phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain KMM 6221T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Echinicola, for which the name Echinicola vietnamensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KMM 6221T (=DSM 17526T=LMG 23754T).

Four Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming isolates of coccoid rods were obtained from fruit powder and investigated in a polyphasic taxonomic study. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis allocated the isolates to the family Enterobacteriaceae. Their phylogenetic position within the family Enterobacteriaceae was confirmed by rpoB sequence analysis and as the highest rpoB sequence similarities were obtained with Enterobacter radicincitans, Enterobacter cowanii and Enterobacter sakazakii, the isolates clearly belong to the genus Enterobacter. Biochemical data revealed that the isolates can be separated into two distinct groups that represent two novel species, as confirmed by DNA–DNA hybridizations. The two novel species can be differentiated from their nearest neighbours by the following characteristics: the utilization of sucrose, d-sorbitol, putrescine and mucate, the hydrolysis of aesculin and a negative result in the Voges–Proskauer reaction. It is therefore proposed that these novel isolates are classified as Enterobacter turicensis sp. nov. (type strain 508/05T=LMG 23730T=DSM 18397T) and Enterobacter helveticus sp. nov. (type strain 513/05T=LMG 23732T=DSM 18396T).

Three strains of anaerobic Gram-negative bacilli isolated from human oral sites were subjected to a comprehensive range of phenotypic and genotypic tests and were found to comprise a homogeneous group. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed the strains to constitute a novel group within the genus Prevotella, most closely related to Prevotella oris and Prevotella salivae. A novel species, Prevotella maculosa sp. nov., is proposed to accommodate these strains. Prevotella maculosa is saccharolytic and produces acetic and succinic acids as end products of fermentation. The G+C content of the DNA of the type strain is 48 mol%. The type strain of Prevotella maculosa is W1609T (=DSM 19339T =CCUG 54766T).

The taxonomic position of a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming strain, designated CAU 59T, from activated sludge was investigated. Colony morphology, biochemical tests and chemotaxonomic investigations revealed that strain CAU 59T possessed the characteristics of the genus Pseudoclavibacter. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed sequence divergence values between strain CAU 59T and other described Pseudoclavibacter species of more than 3.6 %, and the strain formed a hitherto-unknown subline within the genus Pseudoclavibacter. DNA–DNA hybridization studies showed that strain CAU 59T displayed 20.9 % relatedness to its closest phylogenetic neighbour, Pseudoclavibacter helvolus DSM 20419T. The DNA G+C content was 66.2 mol%. The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic data indicated that strain CAU 59T represents a novel species of the genus Pseudoclavibacter, for which the name Pseudoclavibacter chungangensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CAU 59T (=KCTC 22691T =CCUG 58142T).
