Gene Sequence Analysis

An actinobacterial strain, designated 72T, was isolated from a traditional salt-fermented seafood in Korea. Colonies were coral red and cells were Gram-reaction-positive, non-motile rods. Strain 72T grew with 0–10 % (w/v) NaCl, at pH 7–10 and at 15–37 °C. Optimum growth conditions were 2 % NaCl, pH 7.0 and 30 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain 72T belonged to the genus Dietzia. The major cellular fatty acids (>5 %) were C16 : 0, summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c), 10-methyl C18 : 0, C17 : 0, C19 : 0 and C18 : 1ω9c. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization, coupled with physiological and biochemical tests, revealed genotypic and phenotypic differences between strain 72T and other members of the genus Dietzia. Based on these data, strain 72T represents a novel species, for which the name Dietzia alimentaria sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 72T ( = JCM 16360T  = KACC 21126T).

Lipid Pattern

A non-motile and non-endospore-forming rod, strain NBRC 16403T, was isolated from the phyllosphere of a sedge (Carex sp.). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain NBRC 16403T was closely related to Herbiconiux solani DSM 19813T (98.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Herbiconiux ginsengi wged11T (97.8 %) and Herbiconiux moechotypicola RB-62T (97.8 %). The peptidoglycan (B2γ type) contained d- and l-2,4-diaminobutyric acids, d-alanine, glycine and threo-3-hydroxyglutamic acid, which replaced glutamic acid almost completely. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10 and MK-11. The polar lipid pattern comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, three glycolipids and minor amounts of other polar lipids. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0; no cyclohexyl-C17 : 0 was detected. The DNA G+C content was 71.0 mol%. The results of phylogenetic and DNA–DNA relatedness studies, along with phenotypic differences between strain NBRC 16403T and recognized members of the genus Herbiconiux, indicated that the isolate should be assigned to a novel species of the genus Herbiconiux, for which the name Herbiconiux flava sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NBRC 16403T ( = VKM Ac-2058T).

Gene Sequence Analysis

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium was isolated from a nitrifying inoculum. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, LMG 22862T was shown to belong to the family Sphingobacteriaceae, related to Pedobacter africanus (98·0 %) and Pedobacter heparinus (97·6 %). The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization, SDS-PAGE, analysis of the fatty acid composition and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of LMG 22862T from Pedobacter species with validly published names. LMG 22862T therefore represents a novel species within this genus, for which the name Pedobacter caeni sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain LMG 22862T (=DSM 16990T).

Gene Sequence Analysis

An ivory-coloured bacterium, designated strain 5YN7-3T, was isolated from a wetland, Yongneup, Korea. Cells of the strain were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and short rods. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that strain 5YN7-3T belongs to the order Rhizobiales of the class Alphaproteobacteria and is closely related to Kaistia soli 5YN9-8T (97.8 %), Kaistia granuli Ko04T (97.6 %) and Kaistia adipata Chj404T (97.4 %). Strain 5YN7-3T showed DNA–DNA hybridization values of 28, 22 and 35 % with K. granuli Ko04T, K. soli 5YN9-8T and K. adipata Chj404T, respectively. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c (51.2 %), C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (25.0 %), C18 : 0 (12.9 %) and C16 : 0 (10.8 %) (>10 % of total fatty acids). Ubiquinone-10 was the major isoprenoid quinone and the DNA G+C content was 66.5 mol%. The phenotypic characteristics in combination with 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization data clearly define strain 5YN7-3T as a novel species of the genus Kaistia, for which the name Kaistia terrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 5YN7-3T (=KACC 12910T =DSM 21341T).

Gene Sequence Analysis

A bacterial strain isolated from human faeces, M-165T, was characterized in terms of its phenotypic and biochemical features, cellular fatty acid profile, menaquinone profile and phylogenetic position (based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis). A 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolate was a member of the genus Parabacteroides. Strain M-165T was closely related to Parabacteroides merdae strains, showing 98 % sequence similarity. The strain was obligately anaerobic, non-pigmented, non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative, rod-shaped and was able to grow on media containing 20 % bile. Although the phenotypic characteristics of the strain M-165T were similar to those of P. merdae, the isolate could be differentiated from P. merdae by means of API 20A tests for l-arabinose and l-rhamnose fermentation. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed the genomic distinctiveness of the novel strain with respect to P. merdae JCM 9497T (⩽60 % DNA–DNA relatedness). The DNA G+C content of the strain is 47.6 mol%. On the basis of these data, strain M-165T represents a novel species of the genus Parabacteroides, for which the name Parabacteroides johnsonii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is M-165T (=JCM 13406T=DSM 18315T).

Different Strains

Twenty morphologically different strains were chosen from French wheat sourdough isolates. Cells were Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile rods. The isolates were identified using amplified-fragment length polymorphism, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. All isolates were members of the genus Lactobacillus. They were identified as representing Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paralimentarius, Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis, Lactobacillus spicheri and Lactobacillus sakei. However, two isolates (LP38T and LP39) could be clearly discriminated from recognized Lactobacillus species on the basis of genotyping methods. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and DNA–DNA relatedness data indicate that the two strains belong to a novel Lactobacillus species, for which the name Lactobacillus hammesii is proposed. The type strain is LP38T (=DSM 16381T=CIP 108387T=TMW 1.1236T).

Gene Sequence Analysis

A Gram-positive, yellow-pigmented, actinobacterial strain, DW152T, was isolated from a dairy industry effluent treatment plant. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain DW152T exhibited low similarity with many species with validly published names belonging to the genera Micrococcus and Arthrobacter. However, phenotypic properties including chemotaxonomic markers affiliated strain DW152T to the genus Micrococcus. Strain DW152T had ai-C15 : 0 and i-C15 : 0 as major cellular fatty acids, and MK-8(H2) as the major menaquinone. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strain DW152T had l-lysine as the diagnostic amino acid and the type was A4α. The DNA G+C content of strain DW152T was 68.0 mol%. In 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain DW152T exhibited significant similarity with Micrococcus terreus NBRC 104258T, but the mean value of DNA–DNA relatedness between these strains was only 42.3 %. Moreover, strain DW152T differed in biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics from M. terreus and other species of the genus Micrococcus. Based on the above differences, we conclude that strain DW152T should be treated as a novel species of the genus Micrococcus, for which the name Micrococcus lactis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Micrococcus lactis sp. nov. is DW152T ( = MTCC10523T  = DSM 23694T).

Separate Species

Two strains (Gsoil 492T and Gsoil 643T) isolated in Pocheon Province, South Korea, from soil used for ginseng cultivation were characterized using a polyphasic approach. Both isolates comprised Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacteria. They had similar chemotaxonomic characteristics, e.g. containing MK-7 as the major quinone, having a DNA G+C content in the range 42.5–43.3 mol% and possessing iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH as the major fatty acids. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the two isolates formed a tight cluster with several uncultured bacterial clones and with the established genera Terrimonas, Niastella and Chitinophaga in the phylum Bacteroidetes but were clearly separate from these genera. The levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the isolates and type strains of related genera ranged from 87.5 to 92.4 %. Furthermore, the results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed phenotypic differentiation of the isolates from phylogenetically closely related species with validly published names. The level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the two strains was 99.5 %, whereas the DNA–DNA relatedness value was 44 %, indicating that they represent separate species. On the basis of the polyphasic evidence, a novel genus, Flavisolibacter gen. nov., and two novel species, Flavisolibacter ginsengiterrae sp. nov. (type strain Gsoil 492T=KCTC 12656T=DSM 18136T) and Flavisolibacter ginsengisoli sp. nov. (type strain Gsoil 643T=KCTC 12657T=DSM 18119T), are proposed. Flavisolibacter ginsengiterrae is the type species of the genus.

Bacterium Strain

A Gram-positive, aerobic, long-rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (strain PPLBT) was isolated from soil mixed with Iberian pig hair. This actinomycete showed keratinase activity in vitro when chicken feathers were added to the culture medium. Strain PPLBT was oxidase-negative and catalase-positive and produced lipase and esterase lipase. This actinomycete grew at 40 °C on nutrient agar and in the same medium containing 5 % (w/v) NaCl. Growth was observed with many different carbohydrates as the sole carbon source. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain PPLBT was shown to belong to the genus Terrabacter of the family Intrasporangiaceae. Strain PPLBT showed 98·8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Terrabacter tumescens. Chemotaxonomic data, such as the main ubiquinone (MK-8), the main polar lipids (phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol) and the main fatty acids (i-C15 : 0, ai-C15 : 0, i-C16 : 0 and ai-C17 : 0) supported the affiliation of strain PPLBT to the genus Terrabacter. The G+C content of the DNA was 71 mol%. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization (36·6 % relatedness between Terrabacter tumescens and strain PPLBT) and physiological and biochemical tests suggested that strain PPLBT belongs to a novel species of the genus Terrabacter, for which the name Terrabacter terrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PPLBT (=CECT 3379T=LMG 22921T).
