Four strains (JA310T, JA531T, JA447 and JA490) of red to reddish brown pigmented, rod-shaped, motile and budding phototrophic bacteria were isolated from soil and freshwater sediment samples from different geographical regions of India. All strains contained bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the spirilloxanthin series. The major cellular fatty acid of strains JA310T and JA531T was C18 : 1ω7c, the quinone was Q-10 and polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, an aminohopanoid and an unidentified aminolipid. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that all strains clustered with species of the genus Rhodopseudomonas in the class Alphaproteobacteria . Strains JA531T, JA447 and JA490 were genotypically (>80 % related based on DNA–DNA hybridization) and phenotypically closely related to each other and the three strains were distinct from strain JA310T (33 % related). Furthermore, all four strains had less than 48 % relatedness (DNA–DNA hybridization) with type strains of members of the genus Rhodopseudomonas , i.e. Rhodopseudomonas palustris ATCC 17001T, Rhodopseudomonas faecalis JCM 11668T and Rhodopseudomonas rhenobacensis DSM 12706T. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains JA310T and JA531T were 63.8 and 62.4 mol%, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular genetic evidence, it is proposed that strains JA310T ( = NBRC 106083T = KCTC 5839T) and JA531T ( = NBRC 107575T = KCTC 5841T) be classified as the type strains of two novel species of the genus Rhodopseudomonas , Rhodopseudomonas parapalustris sp. nov. and Rhodopseudomonas harwoodiae sp. nov., respectively. In addition, we propose that strain DSM 123T ( = NBRC 100419T) represents a novel species, Rhodopseudomonas pseudopalustris sp. nov., since this strain differs genotypically and phenotypically from R. palustris ATCC 17001T and other members of the genus Rhodopseudomonas . An emended description of R. palustris is also provided.

Two novel isolates of rapidly growing, Gram-stain-positive, non-chromogenic species of the genus Mycobacterium , strain YIM M13028T from a sediment sample collected from the South China Sea (19° 30.261′ N 111° 0.247′ E) at a depth of 42 m and strain YIM 121001T from a coastal zone sand sample collected in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, were obtained in our laboratory. Their taxonomic positions were determined by a polyphasic approach. Good growth of the two strains was observed at 28 °C and pH 7.0 with 0–2 % NaCl on tryptic soy agar medium. Both strains formed round orange–red colonies, strain YIM M13028T had a rough surface, while YIM 121001T was smooth. Cellular fatty acids, whole-cell protein profiles and TLC analysis of their mycolic acids show significant differences from reference stains. Phenotypic characteristics and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of 16S rRNA gene, hsp65, rpoB and 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences indicated that both strains YIM M13028T and YIM 121001T belong to the genus Mycobacterium . DNA–DNA hybridization values revealed a low relatedness (<70 %) of the two isolates with the type strains Mycobacterium neoaurum DSM 44074T and Mycobacterium hodleri DSM 44183T. The low DNA–DNA hybridization values (40.4±3.5 %) between strains YIM M13028T and YIM 121001T and phenotypic distinctiveness indicated that the two strains were representatives of different novel species of the genus Mycobacterium . The names proposed for these novel species are Mycobacterium sediminis sp. nov. and Mycobacterium arabiense sp. nov., and the type strains are YIM M13028T ( = DSM 45643T = KCTC 19999T) and YIM 121001T ( = DSM 45768T = JCM 18538T), respectively.

A novel strain, designated 5GHs31-2T, was isolated from a greenhouse soil sample collected from Yongin city, South Korea. Cells of strain 5GHs31-2T were Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, polar flagellated and yellow-pigmented. The isolate was aerobic, catalase-negative and oxidase-positive and grew optimally at 28–30 °C and pH 7.0. Strain 5GHs31-2T revealed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with Fulvimonas soli LMG 19981T (97.6 %), Dyella thiooxydans ATSB10T (97.5 %) and Frateuria terrea VA24T (97.4 %). Furthermore, the neighbour-joining tree showed that strain 5GHs31-2T was a representative of a member of the genus Fulvimonas . Strain 5GHs31-2T contained iso-C16 : 0, summed feature 9 (iso-C17 : 1ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl), iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 as the major fatty acids, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and an aminolipid as the main polar lipids and Q-8 as the predominant quinone. The genomic DNA G+C content of 5GHs31-2T was 73.0 mol%. According to DNA–DNA hybridization experiments, DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain 5GHs31-2T and its closest phylogenetic neighbours were below 70 %. Based on the taxonomic data, strain 5GHs31-2T represents a novel species of the genus Fulvimonas , for which the name Fulvimonas yonginensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 5GHs31-2T ( = KACC 16952T = DSM 28344T).

Two yellow-pigmented, Gram-reaction-negative strains, designated 01SU5-PT and 03SU3-PT, were isolated from the freshwater of Woopo wetland, Republic of Korea. Both strains were aerobic, non-motile and catalase-negative. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the two isolates belong to the genus Sphingopyxis , showing the highest level of sequence similarity with respect to Sphingopyxis witflariensis W-50T (95.4–95.7 %). The two novel isolates shared 99.4 % sequence similarity. DNA–DNA hybridization between the isolates and the type strain of S. witflariensis clearly suggested that strains 01SU5-PT and 03SU3-PT represent two separate novel species in the genus Sphingopyxis . The two strains displayed different fingerprints after PCR analysis using the repetitive primers BOX, ERIC and REP. Several phenotypic characteristics served to differentiate these two isolates from recognized members of the genus Sphingopyxis . The data from the polyphasic study presented here indicated that strains 01SU5-PT and 03SU3-PT should be classified as representing novel species in the genus Sphingopyxis , for which the names Sphingopyxis rigui sp. nov. and Sphingopyxis wooponensis sp. nov., respectively, are proposed. The type strain of Sphingopyxis rigui sp. nov. is 01SU5-PT ( = KCTC 23326T = JCM 17509T) and the type strain of Sphingopyxis wooponensis sp. nov. is 03SU3-PT ( = KCTC 23340T = JCM 17547T).

Cells of bacterial strains 4 G-K06T and 4MSK11T, isolated from soil samples collected from monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forest of the Dinghushan Mountain (112° 31′ E 23° 10′ N), Guangdong Province, PR China, were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile and rod-shaped. Strain 4 G-K06T grew at 10–37 °C, pH 3.5–7.5 and 0–3.5 % (w/v) NaCl; while 4MSK11T grew at 4–42 °C, pH 3.5–7.5 and 0–2.5 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed strain 4 G-K06T formed a clade with Dyella flagellata 4 M-K16T, Dyella acidisoli 4M-Z03T, Dyella humi DHG40T and Dyella nitratireducens DHG59T, while strain 4MSK11T formed a clade with Dyella caseinilytica DHOB09T and Dyella mobilis DHON07T, both within the genus Dyella . The result of the partial atpD, gyrB and lepA gene sequence analysis supported the conclusion based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, which showed that these two strains represent two novel species of Dyella . The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization value for the whole genomes were 75.0–79.0 and 20.3–22.6 % between strains 4 G-K06T, 4MSK11T and those described Dyella species with genome sequences; while the DNA–DNA hybridization rates between strains 4 G-K06T, 4MSK11T and closely related Dyella species (without genome sequence) were 29.5–41.8 %. The major cellular fatty acids of these two strains were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1 ω9c, while the major polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and several unidentified phospholipids and aminophospholipids. The only ubiquinone of these two strains was ubiquinone-8. The DNA G+C contents of 4 G-K06T and 4MSK11T were 60.4 and 61.3 mol%, respectively. On the basis of the evidence presented here, strains 4 G-K06T and 4MSK11T represent two novel species of the genus Dyella , for which the names Dyella monticola sp. nov. (type strain 4 G-K06T=LMG 30268T=GDMCC 1.1188T) and Dyella psychrodurans sp. nov. (type strain 4MSK11T=KCTC 62280T=GDMCC 1.1185T) are proposed.

A Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic, catalase-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped lactic acid bacterium strain, denoted as NFFJ11T and isolated from total mixed fermentation feed in the Republic of Korea, was characterized through polyphasic approaches, including sequence analyses of the 16S rRNA gene and housekeeping genes (rpoA and pheS), determination of average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization, fatty acid methyl ester analysis, and phenotypic characterization. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA, rpoA and pheS gene sequences revealed that strain NFFJ11T belonged to the genus Companilactobacillus . The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain NFFJ11T exhibited high similarity to Companilactobacillus formosensis S215T (99.66 %), Companilactobacillus farciminis Rv4 naT (99.53 %), Companilactobacillus crustorum LMG 23699T (99.19 %), Companilactobacillus futsaii YM 0097T (99.06 %), Companilactobacillus zhachilii HBUAS52074T (98.86 %) and Companilactobacillus heilongiiangensis S4-3T (98.66 %). However, average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization values for these type strains were in the range of 79.90–92.93 % and 23.80–49.30 %, respectively, which offer evidence that strain NFFJ11T belongs to a novel species of the genus Companilactobacillus . The cell-wall peptidoglycan type was A4α (l-Lys–d-Asp) and the G+C content of the genomic DNA was 35.7 mol%. The main fatty acids of strain NFFJ11T were C18 : 1  ω9c (43.3 %), C16 : 0 (20.1 %) and summed feature 7 (18.3 %; comprising any combination of C19 : 1  ω7c, C19 : 1  ω6c and C19 : 0 cyclo ω10c). Through polyphasic taxonomic analysis, it was observed that strain NFFJ11T represents a novel species belonging to the genus Companilactobacillus , for which the name Companilactobacillus pabuli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NFFJ11T (= KACC 21771T= JCM 34088T).

A Gram-reaction-positive aerobic actinomycete, designated strain MN08-A0118T, which produced short chains of non-motile spores on the tips of long sporophores and formed yellow–brown colonies with branched substrate mycelium, was studied in detail to determine its taxonomic position. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, strain MN08-A0118T was grouped into the genus Herbidospora , being most closely related to Streptosporangium claviforme (98.2 %), Herbidospora osyris (98.2 %), Herbidospora daliensis (98.2 %), Herbidospora cretacea (97.9 %) and Herbidospora yilanensis (97.4 %). Chemotaxonomic data supported allocation of the strain to the genus Herbidospora . MK-10(H4) was the predominant menaquinone with minor amounts of MK-10(H6), MK-10(H2) and MK-9(H4); the fatty acid profile contained major amounts of iso-C16 : 0, C17 : 0 10-methyl, iso-C14 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0 2-OH; the phospholipid profile contained phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine and glucosamine-containing phospholipids; and the whole-cell sugars included ribose, glucose, galactose, madurose and rhamnose (trace). The phylogenetic data, phenotypic and genotypic properties and DNA–DNA hybridization differentiated this strain from its closely related strains, S. claviforme (35–54 % DNA–DNA relatedness), H. osyris (39–51 %), H. daliensis (3–16 %), H. cretacea (34–39 %) and H. yilanensis (34–42 %). Thus, MN08-A0118T represents a novel species of the genus Herbidospora , for which the name Herbidospora mongoliensis sp. nov. is proposed, with MN08-A0118T ( = NBRC 105882T  = VTCC D9-22T) as the type strain. In addition, DNA–DNA hybridization results showed that S. claviforme and H. osyris are synonyms of H. cretacea .

A non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain 02SUJ3T, was isolated from freshwater collected from the Juam Reservoir (Republic of Korea). Cells were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The strain contained MK-7 as the major isoprenoid quinone. The main polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. The DNA G+C content was 46.4 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain 02SUJ3T forms an independent lineage within the genus Flavisolibacter with low sequence similarity to Flavisolibacter ginsengiterrae Gsoil 492T and Flavisolibacter ginsengisoli Gsoil 643T (95.7 %). Phenotypic characteristics distinguished strain 02SUJ3T from members of the genus Flavisolibacter . On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, strain 02SUJ3T is considered to represent a novel species, for which the name Flavisolibacter rigui sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 02SUJ3T ( = JCM 17515T = KCTC 23328T). An emended description of the genus Flavisolibacter is also provided.

A novel actinobacterium, strain BC637T, was isolated from a biodeteriogenic biofilm sample collected in 2009 in the Saint Callixstus Roman catacomb. The strain was found to belong to the genus Kribbella by analysis of the 16S rRNA gene. Phylogenetic analysis using the 16S rRNA gene and the gyrB, rpoB, relA, recA and atpD concatenated gene sequences showed that strain BC637T was most closely related to the type strains of Kribbella lupini and Kribbella endophytica . DNA–DNA hybridization experiments confirmed that strain BC637T is a genomic species that is distinct from its closest phylogenetic relatives, K. endophytica DSM 23718T (63 % DNA relatedness) and K. lupini LU14T (63 % DNA relatedness). Physiological comparisons showed that strain BC637T is phenotypically distinct from the type strains of K. endophytica and K. lupini . Thus, strain BC637T represents the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Kribella italica sp. nov. is proposed ( = DSM 28967T = NRRL B-59155T).

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain YN3T, which was isolated from a seaweed sample taken from the coast of Weihai, China. The bacterium was Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, and could grow at pH 5.0–10.0 and 4–32 °C in the presence of 0–9.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain YN3T was positive for the hydrolysis of polysaccharides, such as agar, starch and xylan. The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8. The major fatty acids were C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, C16 : 0 and C18 : 1ω7c. The main polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine, and two unidentified glycolipids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 49.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain YN3T should be assigned to the genus Gilvimarinus . ‘Gilvimarinus agarilyticus’ KCTC 23325 and Gilvimarinus chinensis QM42T had the closest phylogenetic relationship to strain YN3T, and showed 97.9 % and 95.8 % sequence similarities, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic data and DNA–DNA hybridization studies, we propose that strain YN3T represents a novel species of the genus Gilvimarinus , for which the name Gilvimarinus polysaccharolyticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YN3T ( = KCTC 32438T = JCM 19198T). An emended description of the genus Gilvimarinus is also presented.

A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain Mn1-7T, was isolated from manganese mining soil in Tianjin, China. The closest phylogenetic relatives were Lysinibacillus massiliensis CCUG 49529T (97.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), L. xylanilyticus XDB9T (96.7 %), L. sinduriensis JCM 15800T (96.2 %), L. odysseyi NBRC 100172T (95.9 %) and L. boronitolerans NBRC 103108T (95.4 %) (the type species of the genus). DNA–DNA hybridization values for strain Mn1-7T with the type strains of L. massiliensis and L. sinduriensis were 24.9 and 27.7 %, respectively. The genomic DNA G+C content was 38.4 mol%. The major menaquinone was MK-7 and the major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C14 : 0. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol. The cell-wall peptidoglycan was type A4α (l-Lys–d-Asp), and the predominant cell-wall sugar was xylose. DNA–DNA hybridization results and comparison of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characters between strain Mn1-7T and the phylogenetically most closely related strains revealed that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Lysinibacillus , for which the name Lysinibacillus manganicus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Mn1-7T ( = DSM 26584T = CCTCC AB 2012916T).
