Four light-yellow-pigmented, Gram-negative, short-rod-shaped, non-motile isolates were obtained from enrichment culture during degradation of the thallus of the brown alga Fucus evanescens. The isolates studied were chemo-organotrophic, alkalitolerant and mesophilic. Polar lipids were analysed and phosphatidylethanolamine was the only phospholipid identified. The predominant cellular fatty acids were 15 : 0, i15 : 0, ai15 : 0, i15 : 1 and 15 : 1(n-6). The DNA G+C contents of the four strains were 34·0–34·4 mol%. The level of DNA relatedness of the four isolates was conspecific (88–98 %), indicating that they belong to the same species. The 16S rDNA sequence of strain KMM 3553T was determined. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that KMM 3553T formed a distinct phyletic line in the phylum Bacteroidetes, class Flavobacteria in the family Flavobacteriaceae and that, phylogenetically, this strain could be placed almost equidistant from the genera Gelidibacter and Psychroserpens (16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 94 %). On the basis of significant differences in phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, it is suggested that the isolates represent a novel species in a new genus; the name Formosa algae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KMM 3553T (=CIP 107684T).

Sequence Similarities

A novel halophilic actinobacterium, designated strain TRM 49201T, was isolated from a hypersaline soil in Xinjiang Province, north-west China. The strain was aerobic, Gram-stain-positive and halophilic. The aerial mycelium was chaotic with irregular branches, and spherical sporangia containing several spherical spores developed at mycelial aggregations. The strain had an optimum NaCl concentration for growth of 8–13 % (w/v). The whole-cell sugar pattern of strain TRM 49201T consisted of xylose and ribose. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6) and MK-10(H2). The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and four unknown phospholipids. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 70 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that strain TRM 49201T can be distinguished from representatives of Glycomyces, Stackebrandtia and Haloglycomyces, the three existing genera in the family Glycomycetaceae, based on low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities ( < 94.42 %). Strain TRM 49201T is thus considered to represent a novel species of a new genus in the family Glycomycetaceae, for which the name Paraglycomyces xinjiangensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Paraglycomyces xinjiangensis is TRM 49201T ( = NRRL B-24926T = CCTCC AA 2013002T = KACC 17683T).

A Gram-reaction-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated THG 15T, was isolated from soil of a field cultivated with Rhus vernicifera in Okcheon province, South Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Strain THG 15T grew optimally at 25–30 °C and at pH 7 in the absence of NaCl on nutrient agar. Strain THG 15T displayed β-glucosidase (aesculinase) activity that was responsible for its ability to transform ginsenoside Rb1 (one of the dominant active components of ginseng) into compound K via Rd and F2. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, strain THG 15T was shown to belong to the family Flavobacteriaceae and was most closely related to Chryseobacterium soldanellicola PSD1-4T (97.7 % sequence similarity), Chryseobacterium soli JS6-6T (97.5 %) and Chryseobacterium indoltheticum LMG 4025T (97.3 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 35.7 mol%. The major menaquinone was MK-6 and the major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (50.3 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (21.9 %), summed feature 4 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH; 9.5 %) and iso-C17 : 1ω9c (9.3 %). DNA sequence analysis and chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of strain THG 15T to the genus Chryseobacterium. DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain THG 15T and its closest phylogenetic neighbours were <15 %. Strain THG 15T could be differentiated genotypically and phenotypically from recognized species of the genus Chryseobacterium. The isolate therefore represents a novel species, for which the name Chryseobacterium ginsenosidimutans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is THG 15T ( = KACC 14527T  = JCM 16719T).

Two extremely halophilic archaeal strains, TBN21T and TBN49, were isolated from the Taibei marine solar saltern near Lianyungang city, Jiangsu province, China. Cells of the two strains were pleomorphic and Gram-negative and colonies were red. Strains TBN21T and TBN49 were able to grow at 25–50 °C (optimum 37 °C), at 1.4–5.1 M NaCl (optimum 3.4–3.9 M) and at pH 5.5–9.5 (optimum pH 7.0–7.5) and neither strain required Mg2+ for growth. Cells lysed in distilled water and the minimal NaCl concentration to prevent cell lysis was 8 % (w/v). The major polar lipids of the two strains were phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester, phosphatidylglycerol sulfate and eight glycolipids; three of these glycolipids (GL3, GL4 and GL5) were chromatographically identical to sulfated mannosyl glucosyl diether (S-DGD-1), galactosyl mannosyl glucosyl diether (TGD-1) and mannosyl glucosyl diether (DGD-1), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that strains TBN21T and TBN49 formed a distinct clade with their closest relative, Halobaculum gomorrense JCM 9908T (89.0–89.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). The DNA G+C contents of strains TBN21T and TBN49 were 64.8 and 62.7 mol%, respectively. DNA–DNA hybridization between strains TBN21T and TBN49 was 90.1 %. The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic properties suggest that strains TBN21T and TBN49 represent a novel species in a new genus within the family Halobacteriaceae, for which the name Halolamina pelagica gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Halolamina pelagica is TBN21T ( = CGMCC 1.10329T  = JCM 16809T).

Obligate Aerobe

A novel, Gram-negative, non-motile, non-sporulating, rod-shaped bacterium isolated from a viscous two-phase olive-oil mill waste (‘alpeorujo’) is described. The strain, designated AW-6T, is an obligate aerobe, forming irregular, pigmented creamy white colonies. The pH and temperature ranges for growth were pH 5–8 and 5–45 °C, with optimal pH and temperature for growth of pH 6–7 and 28–32 °C, respectively. Strain AW-6T was chemo-organotrophic and utilized mostly d(+)-glucose, protocatechuate and d(+)-xylose, followed by l-cysteine, d(−)-fructose, d(+)-galactose, l-histidine, lactose, sorbitol and sucrose. Menaquinone-7 was detected in the respiratory chain of strain AW-6T. The major fatty acids of strain AW-6T were C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and C16 : 0. The closest phylogenetic relative of strain AW-6T was clone BIti35 (89.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), while Sphingobacterium thalpophilum DSM 11723T was the closest recognized relative within the Sphingobacteriaceae (88.2 % similarity). Strain AW-6T showed a low level of DNA–DNA relatedness to S. thalpophilum DSM 11723T (33.8–37.0 %). The DNA G+C content of strain AW-6T was 45.6 mol%. Physiological and chemotaxonomic data further confirmed the distinctiveness of strain AW-6T from members of the genera Sphingobacterium and Pedobacter. Thus, strain AW-6T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus within the family Sphingobacteriaceae, for which the name Olivibacter sitiensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AW-6T (=DSM 17696T=CECT 7133T).

Abstract A novel Gram-stain negative bacterium, designated IM2376T, was isolated from the sediment of Hutong Qagan Lake in Ordos, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China. The strain IM2376T had the highest similarity with Roseinatronobacter thiooxidans DSM 13087T (96.18%) and Rhodobaca bogoriensis LBB1T (96.18%) of the family Rhodobacteraceae according to 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison. Genomic relatedness analyses showed that strain IM2376T was clearly distinguished from other species in the family Rhodobacteraceae, with average nucleotide identities, amino acid identities and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization values not more than 74.1%, 68.5% and 20.2%. The fatty acid was mainly composed of C18:1ω7c (64.86%), iso-C16:0 (16.33%) and C16: 1ω7c/C16:1ω6c (6.02%). The major polar lipid was diphosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine. The predominant ubiquinone was Q-10 (94.9%) and Q-11 (5.1%). The DNA G + C was 66 mol%. Based on all these results, strain IM2376T was considered to be a novel species of a new genus in the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Rhabdonatronobacter sediminivivens gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IM2376T (= CGMCC 1.17852T).
