Two novel cold-tolerant, Gram-stain-positive, motile, facultatively anaerobic bacterial strains, LI2T and LI3T, were isolated from moss-covered soil from Livingston Island, Antarctica, near the Bulgarian station St Kliment Ohridski. A rod–coccus cycle was observed for both strains. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed an affiliation to the genus Arthrobacter, with the highest similarity to Arthrobacter stackebrandtii and Arthrobacter psychrochitiniphilus for strain LI2T (97.8 and 97.7 % similarity to the respective type strains) and to Arthrobacter kerguelensis and Arthrobacter psychrophenolicus for strain LI3T (97.4 and 97.3 % similarity to the respective type strains). The growth temperature range was −6 to 28 °C for LI2T and −6 to 24 °C for LI3T, with an optimum at 16 °C for both strains. Growth occurred at 0–10 % (w/v) NaCl, with optimum growth at 0–1 % (w/v) for LI2T and 0.5–3 % (w/v) for LI3T. The pH range for growth was pH 4–9.5 with an optimum of pH 8 for LI2T and pH 6.5 for LI3T. The predominant fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, C18 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0 for LI2T and anteiso-C15 : 0 and C18 : 0 for LI3T. Physiological and biochemical tests clearly differentiated strain LI2T from A. stackebrandtii and A. psychrochitiniphilus and strain LI3T from A. kerguelensis and A. psychrophenolicus. Therefore, two novel species within the genus Arthrobacter are proposed: Arthrobacter livingstonensis sp. nov. (type strain LI2T  = DSM 22825T  = NCCB 100314T) and Arthrobacter cryotolerans sp. nov. (type strain LI3T  = DSM 22826T  = NCCB 100315T).

Physiological And Biochemical

Two novel thermophilic, spore-forming bacterial strains, T-11T and E-112T, were isolated from hot springs in Tengchong and Eryuan counties of Yunnan province in south-west China. The strains were Gram-stain-positive rods, occurring singly or in chains. Growth of strain T-11T was observed between 30 and 75 °C (optimum 50 °C) and at pH 7–11 (optimum pH 8.5), while the temperature range for strain E-112T was 35–70 °C (optimum 55 °C) and the pH range was 7.0–11.0 (optimum pH 8.0). The DNA G+C contents of strains T-11T and E-112T were 41.1 and 42.6 mol%, respectively. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the two strains were shown to be related most closely to Anoxybacillus species. The chemotaxonomic characteristics [predominant isoprenoid quinone menaquinone 7 (MK-7); major fatty acids iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0] also supported the affiliation of strains T-11T and E-112T to the genus Anoxybacillus. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strains T-11T and E-112T from Anoxybacillus species with validly published names. Strains T-11T and E-112T therefore represent two novel species, for which the names Anoxybacillus tengchongensis sp. nov. (type strain T-11T =CCTCC AB209237T =KCTC 13721T) and Anoxybacillus eryuanensis sp. nov. (type strain E-112T =CCTCC AB209236T =KCTC 13720T) are proposed.

Three Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, nitrate-reducing isolates (R-32746, R-32768T and R-32729T) were obtained from soil. Analysis of repetitive sequence-based PCR showed that the three isolates represented two different strains. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization placed them within the genus Stenotrophomonas and revealed that they were genotypically different from each other and from all recognized Stenotrophomonas species. Analysis of the fatty acid composition and physiological and biochemical tests allowed differentiation from their closest phylogenetic neighbours. They are therefore considered to represent two novel species, for which the names Stenotrophomonas terrae sp. nov. and Stenotrophomonas humi sp. nov. are proposed, with strains R-32768T (=LMG 23958T=DSM 18941T) and R-32729T (=LMG 23959T=DSM 18929T), respectively, as the type strains.

A Gram-stain-positive, coccoid, non-endospore-forming actinobacterium (strain CC-12602T) was isolated from a spawn used for growing the edible mushroom Agaricus brasiliensis in the laboratory. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain CC-12602T was shown to belong to the genus Microlunatus and was related most closely to the type strains of Microlunatus ginsengisoli (96.1 % similarity), M. phosphovorus (95.9 %), M. panaciterrae (95.8 %) and M. aurantiacus (95.5 %). The quinone system comprised menaquinone MK-9(H4) as the major component and the polyamine pattern consisted of spermidine and spermine as major compounds. The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol and unknown phospholipid PL3. Moderate amounts of diphosphatidylglycerol, an unknown glycolipid and three unknown phospholipids and minor amounts of an unknown phospholipid and a polar lipid were detected. The peptidoglycan type was A3γ′, based on ll-2,6-diaminopimelic acid with an interpeptide bridge consisting of a single glycine residue and a second glycine residue at position 1 of the peptide subunit. Peptidoglycan structure and major fatty acids (anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0) supported the affiliation of strain CC-12602T to the genus Microlunatus. The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed strain CC-12602T to be differentiated phenotypically from recognized Microlunatus species. Strain CC-12602T is therefore considered to represent a novel species of the genus Microlunatus, for which the name Microlunatus soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-12602T (=DSM 21800T =CCM 7685T).

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.

A Gram-positive bacterium (strain CC-YMP-6T) was isolated from soil samples collected from Yang-Ming Mountain, Taiwan. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain CC-YMP-6T clearly belonged to the genus Virgibacillus and was most closely related to the type strains of Virgibacillus halophilus (96.2 % similarity) and Virgibacillus kekensis (96.3 %). The predominant isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone MK-7 and the polar lipid profile was composed of the major components diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and one unidentified phospholipid plus moderate amounts of two unidentified aminophospholipids and a phospholipid. The polyamine pattern comprised spermidine as the single major component with spermine and putrescine present in minor amounts. The major fatty acids of strain CC-YMP-6T were iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed the clear phenotypic differentiation of strain CC-YMP-6T from all recognized species of the genus Virgibacillus. Strain CC-YMP-6T is therefore considered to represent a novel species of the genus Virgibacillus, for which the name Virgibacillus soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-YMP-6T (=DSM 22952T=CCM 7714T).

Sixteen Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming isolates were obtained from a nitrifying inoculum. Analysis of repetitive sequence-based PCR and SDS-PAGE banding patterns, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridizations showed that the isolates belonged to various groups within the genus Pseudomonas. One group of isolates could be assigned to Pseudomonas migulae and a second to Pseudomonas veronii. Two groups could be differentiated genotypically from each other and from all other currently known Pseudomonas species. Analysis of the fatty acid composition and physiological and biochemical tests allowed differentiation of these groups from their closest phylogenetic neighbours and they therefore represent two novel species within the genus Pseudomonas, for which the names Pseudomonas peli sp. nov. and Pseudomonas borbori sp. nov. are proposed, with strains LMG 23201T (=DSM 17833T=R-20805T) and LMG 23199T (=DSM 17834T=R-20821T), respectively, as the type strains.

Two bacterial strains, F423T and F10102, were isolated from two ascidians, Polycitor proliferus and Botryllidae sp., respectively, which were collected from a beach on the Boso peninsula in Japan. Cells of both isolates were motile, rod-shaped and formed star-shaped aggregates in the early stage of exponential growth, but were coccoid in stationary growth phase. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, fatty acid analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization experiments and physiological and biochemical tests indicated that the two strains were members of a novel species of the genus Pseudovibrio for which the name Pseudovibrio ascidiaceicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is F423T (=NBRC 100514T=IAM 15084T=DSM 16392T=KCTC 12308T).

The C3H/HeJBir mouse model of intestinal inflammation was used for isolation of a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (B7T) from caecal suspensions. On the basis of partial 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain B7T was a member of the class Actinobacteria, family Coriobacteriaceae, and was related closely to Enterorhabdus mucosicola Mt1B8T (97.6 %). The major fatty acid of strain B7T was C16 : 0 (19.1 %) and the respiratory quinones were mono- and dimethylated. Cells were aerotolerant, but grew only under anoxic conditions. Strain B7T did not convert the isoflavone daidzein and was resistant to cefotaxime. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization experiments and additional physiological and biochemical tests allowed the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain B7T from the type strain of E. mucosicola. Therefore, strain B7T represents a novel species, for which the name Enterorhabdus caecimuris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is B7T (=DSM 21839T =CCUG 56815T).

Two groups of Gram-negative, aerobic bacterial strains previously isolated from experimental biofilters were investigated to determine their taxonomic position. Based on their 16S rRNA gene sequences, these isolates formed two distinct groups within the genus Aquamicrobium . The gene sequence similarities of the new isolates to the type strains of Aquamicrobium species were below 98.3 %. The presence of ubiquinone-10, C18 : 1 cis 11 as the predominant fatty acid and a polar lipid pattern with phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine was in accordance with the characteristics of this genus. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization, biochemical tests and chemotaxonomic properties allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of the strains from all recognized species of the genus Aquamicrobium . Therefore, the isolates were assigned to two novel species of this genus for which the names Aquamicrobium ahrensii sp. nov. (type strain 905/1T = DSM 19730T = CCUG 55251T) and Aquamicrobium segne sp. nov. (type strain 1006/1T = DSM 19714T = CCUG 55250T) are proposed. An emended description of the genus Aquamicrobium is also presented.

A group of 21 bacterial strains was isolated from samples of biofilm formation in the Servilia tomb (necropolis of Carmona, Spain) and the Saint-Catherine chapel (castle at Herberstein, Austria). A polyphasic taxonomic study of these isolates, including morphological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic characterization, rep-PCR fingerprinting, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, DNA base ratio and DNA–DNA relatedness studies, allocated them to the genus Arthrobacter. The isolates represent six novel species, for which the names Arthrobacter castelli sp. nov., Arthrobacter monumenti sp. nov., Arthrobacter parietis sp. nov., Arthrobacter pigmenti sp. nov., Arthrobacter tecti sp. nov. and Arthrobacter tumbae sp. nov. are proposed. The respective type strains are LMG 22283T (=DSM 16402T), LMG 19502T (=DSM 16405T), LMG 22281T (=DSM 16404T), LMG 22284T (=DSM 16403T), LMG 22282T (=DSM 16407T) and LMG 19501T (=DSM 16406T).
