Emended Description

Two extremely halophilic archaeal strains, designated TNN44T and TNN58T, were isolated from Tainan marine solar saltern near Lianyungang city, Jiangsu province, China. Cells of the two strains were pleomorphic and Gram-stain-negative; colonies were red-pigmented. Strains TNN44T and TNN58T were able to grow at 20–50 °C (optimum 37 °C for both), in the presence of 1.4–5.1 M NaCl (optimum 3.4–3.9 M NaCl) and at pH 5.5–9.0 (optimum pH 6.5–7.0); neither strain required Mg2+ for growth. Cells lysed in distilled water. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strains TNN44T and TNN58T were related closely to Halogranum rubrum RO2-11T (96.2 and 97.2 % similarity, respectively). The polar lipids of the two strains were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester, phosphatidylglycerol sulfate (trace), and one major glycolipid and one minor glycolipid chromatographically identical to sulfated mannosyl glucosyl diether and mannosyl glucosyl diether, respectively; other trace unidentified lipids were also detected. The DNA G+C content of strains TNN44T and TNN58T was 64.0 and 62.0 mol%, respectively. The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strains TNN44T and TNN58T was 37.2 %, and these two strains showed a low level of DNA–DNA relatedness with Halogranum rubrum RO2-11T (40.6 and 44.4 %, respectively). Two novel species of the genus Halogranum are proposed to accommodate these two strains, Halogranum gelatinilyticum sp. nov. (type strain TNN44T  = CGMCC 1.10119T  = JCM 16426T) and Halogranum amylolyticum sp. nov. (type strain TNN58T  = CGMCC 1.10121T  = JCM 16428T).

Halogeometricum Borinquense

Two halophilic archaea, strains RO1-4T and RO1-64, were isolated from a marine solar saltern in Jiangsu, China. Cells of the two strains were pleomorphic, motile, and stained Gram-negative. Colonies were red-pigmented. Strains RO1-4T and RO1-64 were able to grow at 25–55 °C (optimum 40–42 °C), at 2.1–5.1 M NaCl (optimum 3.9 M NaCl), at 0.05–0.7 M MgCl2 (optimum 0.3 M MgCl2) and at pH 6.0–8.5 (optimum pH 7.0). Cells lyse in distilled water and the minimal NaCl concentration to prevent cell lysis is 12 % (w/v). On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strains RO1-4T and RO1-64 were closely related to Halogeometricum borinquense PR3T (98.0 and 98.2 % similarity, respectively) and Halosarcina pallida BZ256T (97.8 and 97.9 %). The major polar lipids of the two strains were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester and two glycolipids (S-DGD-1 and DGD-1). The DNA G+C contents of strains RO1-4T and RO1-64 are 64.9 and 62.4 mol%, respectively. The DNA–DNA hybridization value between strains RO1-4T and RO1-64 was 83.0 % and both strains showed low DNA–DNA relatedness with Halogeometricum borinquense PR3T (42.5 and 50.1 % relatedness, respectively) and Halosarcina pallida BZ256T (37.6 and 42.1 % relatedness). It was concluded that strains RO1-4T and RO1-64 represent a novel species of the genus Halogeometricum, for which the name Halogeometricum rufum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RO1-4T (=CGMCC 1.7736T =JCM 15770T).

Gene Sequence Analysis

Strain CCM 2783, previously classified as representing Arthrobacter aurescens, was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and chemotaxonomic characteristics such as peptidoglycan type A3α Lys–Ala2, major menaquinone MK-9(H2) and fatty acid composition confirmed assignment of the strain to the genus Arthrobacter. The results of phylogenetic analysis, DNA–DNA relatedness experiments and physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics indicate that CCM 2783 differs from its nearest phylogenetic relative Arthrobacter psychrolactophilus and from other recognized Arthrobacter species. Therefore, a novel species, Arthrobacter stackebrandtii sp. nov., is proposed with the type strain CCM 2783T (=DSM 16005T).

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).

An extremely halophilic archaeon, strain Fa-1T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern in Fujian, China. Strain Fa-1T required Mg2+ and at least 2.0 M NaCl for growth. It was able to grow at pH 6.5–9.0 (optimally at pH 7.0–7.5) and at 20–55 °C (optimally at 37–42 °C). The major polar lipids of strain Fa-1T were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester, phosphatidylglycerol sulfate and a sulfated diglycosyl diether. On the basis of a 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain Fa-1T was closely related to nine species of the genus Halorubrum, showing sequence similarities of 97.4–98.4 %. The G+C content of the DNA of strain Fa-1T is 64.9 mol% (T m). DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain Fa-1T and the most closely related members of the genus Halorubrum were below 51 %. On the basis of the data from this study, strain Fa-1T represents a novel species of the genus Halorubrum, for which the name Halorubrum litoreum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Fa-1T (=CGMCC 1.5336T =JCM 13561T).

A taxonomic study of a novel marine, heterotrophic, non-gliding, halotolerant and light-pink-pigmented bacterium was carried out using a polyphasic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain KMM 6241T is a member of the phylum Bacteroidetes. Strain KMM 6241T formed a cluster with the genera Algoriphagus, Chimaereicella and Hongiella with sequence similarities of 94.0–98.2 %. Hongiella ornithinivorans was the closest relative of the novel isolate. Comparative analysis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic characteristics of strain KMM 6241T and representatives of the genera Algoriphagus, Chimaereicella and Hongiella revealed many similar features. Consequently, phylogenetic evidence supported by phenotypic and genotypic similarities support the transfer of members of the genera Chimaereicella and Hongiella to the genus Algoriphagus and the establishment of a novel species, Algoriphagus vanfongensis sp. nov., with strain KMM 6241T (=DSM 17529T=KCTC 12716T) as the type strain.

As part of a study of the diversity of planctomycetes, two novel strains, designated OJF2T and OJF8, were isolated from the sediments of a freshwater aquarium. The organisms were chemoheterotrophic, spherical and pink-pigmented, had an optimum growth temperature of about 30–35 °C and an optimum pH for growth of around 7.5–8.5. The predominant fatty acids were C18 : 1ω9c and C16 : 0. The two strains were able to assimilate several sugars and organic acids. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis confirmed the affiliation of these organisms to the phylum ‘Planctomycetes’; they showed highest similarity to the type strains of Singulisphaera acidiphila (92.4 %) and Isosphaera pallida (91.9 %). On the basis of physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strains OJF2T and OJF8 are considered to represent a novel species of a new genus of the order Planctomycetales, for which the name Aquisphaera giovannonii gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Aquisphaera giovannonii is OJF2T ( = CECT 7510T  = DSM 22561T).

A Gram-positive, non-motile and coccoid-, short rod- or rod-shaped bacterial strain, ISL-16T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern in Korea and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain ISL-16T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0, at 30 °C and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ISL-16T joined the cluster comprising species of the genus Planococcus. Its 16S rRNA gene sequence contained the same signature nucleotides as those defined for the genus Planococcus. Strain ISL-16T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 96.9–98.2 % to the type strains of species of the genus Planococcus. Strain ISL-16T contained MK-8 and MK-7 as the predominant menaquinones and anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 1 ω7c alcohol and anteiso-C17 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 48.3 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain ISL-16T and the type strains of species of the genus Planococcus were 15–28 %. Differential phenotypic properties, together with its phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, enabled strain ISL-16T to be differentiated from recognized species of the genus Planococcus. On the basis of the data presented, strain ISL-16T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Planococcus, for which the name Planococcus salinarum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ISL-16T (=KCTC 13584T=CCUG 57753T). An emended description of the genus Planococcus is also given.
