Gene Sequence Analysis

Several strains isolated from Cytisus villosus nodules have been characterized based on their diverse genetic, phenotypic and symbiotic characteristics. According to 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the isolates formed a group that was closely related to Bradyrhizobium canariense BTA-1T with 99.4 % similarity. Analysis of three housekeeping genes, recA, atpD and glnII, suggested that the C. villosus strains represent a novel Bradyrhizobium species most closely related to B. canariense BTA-1T with similarities of 94.2, 96.7 and 94.5 %, respectively. All these differences were congruent with DNA–DNA hybridization analysis, which revealed 31 % relatedness between a representative strain (CTAW11T) isolated from C. villosus nodules and B. canariense BTA-1T. Phenotypic differences among the strains isolated from C. villosus and B. canariense were based on assimilation of carbon and nitrogen sources. The nodC and nifH genes of strain CTAW11T were phylogenetically related to those of strains belonging to bv. genistearum and divergent from those of bv. glycinearum and, accordingly, they do not nodulate soybean. Based on the genotypic and phenotypic data obtained in this study, our strains should be classified as representatives of a novel species for which the name Bradyrhizobium cytisi sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is CTAW11T ( = LMG 25866T = CECT 7749T).

Distinct Genus

Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicates that two distinct sublineages exist within the genus Alcaligenes: the Alcaligenes faecalis lineage, comprising Alcaligenes aquatilis and A. faecalis (with the three subspecies A. faecalis subsp. faecalis, A. faecalis subsp. parafaecalis and A. faecalis subsp. phenolicus), and the Alcaligenes defragrans lineage, comprising A. defragrans. This phylogenetic discrimination is supported by phenotypic and chemotaxonomic differences. It is proposed that the A. defragrans lineage constitutes a distinct genus, for which the name Castellaniella gen. nov. is proposed. The type strain for Castellaniella defragrans gen. nov., comb. nov. is 54PinT (=CCUG 39790T=CIP 105602T=DSM 12141T). Finally, on the basis of data from the literature and new DNA–DNA hybridization and phenotypic data, the novel species Castellaniella denitrificans sp. nov. (type strain NKNTAUT=DSM 11046T=CCUG 39541T) is proposed for two strains previously identified as strains of A. defragrans.

Halophilic Species

The taxonomic position of a Gram-stain-positive, endospore-forming, halophilic strain, designated CAU 348T, isolated from sea sand was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Colony morphology, biochemical tests and chemotaxonomic investigations revealed that strain CAU 348T had the characteristics of the genus Bacillus. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the organism formed a hitherto unknown subline within the genus Bacillus. Sequence divergence values of more than 4.3 % from other described Bacillus species, together with phenotypic differences, showed that the unidentified bacterium represents a previously unrecognized member of this genus. The genotypic and phenotypic data indicated that strain CAU 348T represents a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus chungangensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CAU 348T (=KCTC 13566T =CCUG 57835T).

We isolated a strain coded Esc2AmT during a study focused on the microbial diversity of adult specimens of the bark beetle Hylesinus fraxini. Its 16S rRNA gene sequence had 99.4 % similarity with respect to its closest relative, Pseudomonas rhizosphaerae IH5T. The analysis of partial sequences of the housekeeping genes rpoB, rpoD and gyrB confirmed that strain Esc2AmT formed a cluster with P. rhizosphaerae IH5T clearly separated from the remaining species of the genus Pseudomonas. Strain Esc2AmT had polar flagella and could grow at temperatures from 4 °C to 30 °C. The respiratory quinone was Q9 and the main fatty acids were C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c in summed feature 8 and C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c in summed feature 3. DNA–DNA hybridization results showed 51 % relatedness with respect to P. rhizosphaerae IH5T. Oxidase, catalase and urease-positive, the arginine dihydrolase system was present but nitrate reduction and β-galactosidase production were negative. Aesculin hydrolysis was positive. Based on the results from the genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses, we propose the classification of strain Esc2AmT as representing a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas, for which we propose the name Pseudomonas coleopterorum sp. nov. The type strain is Esc2AmT ( = LMG 28558T = CECT 8695T).

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.

The 16S Rrna Gene

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic, non-flagellated, chemoheterotrophic bacterium, designated IMCC14385T, was isolated from surface seawater of the East Sea, Republic of Korea. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that IMCC14385T represented a member of the genus Halioglobus sharing 94.6–97.8 % similarities with species of the genus. Whole-genome sequencing of IMCC14385T revealed a genome size of 4.3 Mbp and DNA G+C content of 56.7 mol%. The genome of IMCC14385T shared an average nucleotide identity of 76.6 % and digital DNA–DNA hybridization value of 21.6 % with the genome of Halioglobus japonicus KCTC 23429T. The genome encoded the complete poly-β-hydroxybutyrate biosynthesis pathway. The strain contained summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c) and C17 : 1 ω8c as the predominant cellular fatty acids as well as ubiquinone-8 (Q-8) as the respiratory quinone. The polar lipids detected in the strain were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, five unidentified phospholipids, an unidentified aminolipid, an unidentified aminophospholipid and four unidentified lipids. On the basis of taxonomic data obtained in this study, it is suggested that IMCC14385T represents a novel species of the genus Halioglobus , for which the name Halioglobus maricola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IMCC14385T (=KCTC 72520T=NBRC 114072T).

Blastochloris Viridis

A novel Gram-negative, motile, bacteriochlorophyll b-containing purple non-sulfur bacterium, strain JA248T, was isolated from phototrophic enrichments of a yellow–green epilithic biofilm sample collected from Gulmarg, India. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain JA248T was 63.8 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain JA248T had highest similarity to members of the genus Blastochloris and was closely related to Blastochloris sulfoviridis DSM 729T (98.5 % sequence similarity) and Blastochloris viridis DSM 133T (98.4 %) of the class Alphaproteobacteria. Strain JA248T was characterized based on polyphasic taxonomy, and distinct phenotypic and molecular differences based on DNA–DNA hybridization (relatedness of <46.5 % with the two species of the genus Blastochloris), multilocus sequence analysis, and phenotypic and chemotaxonomic evidence separated strain JA248T from other species of the genus Blastochloris. Strain JA248T therefore represents a novel species in the genus Blastochloris, for which the name Blastochloris gulmargensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JA248T ( = JCM 14795T  = DSM 19786T).

Sequence Similarities

Two yellow-pigmented, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterial strains, GH1-10T and GH29-5T, were isolated from greenhouse soils in Korea. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that these strains were related to members of the genus Flavobacterium. Strain GH1-10T was most closely related to Flavobacterium psychrolimnae and Flavobacterium denitrificans, with sequence similarities of 95.9 and 95.2 %, respectively. Strain GH29-5T was most closely related to ‘Flavobacterium saliodium’, F. denitrificans and Flavobacterium frigoris, with sequence similarities of 94.3, 92.5 and 92.5 %, respectively. The major cellular fatty acids of GH1-10T were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, and those of GH29-5T were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 1 G and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH. Both strains contained menaquinone with six isoprene units (MK-6) as the sole quinone. The DNA G+C contents of GH1-10T and GH29-5T were 35 and 39 mol%, respectively. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic data presented, it is concluded that the two bacteria represent two separate novel species of the genus Flavobacterium. The names proposed to accommodate these organisms are Flavobacterium daejeonense sp. nov., with type strain GH1-10T (=KACC 11422T=DSM 17708T), and Flavobacterium suncheonense sp. nov., with type strain GH29-5T (=KACC 11423T=DSM 17707T).

The taxonomic position of strain JCM 2765T isolated from fermented cane molasses in Thailand was reinvestigated. Strain JCM 2765T was originally identified as representing Lactobacillus buchneri on the basis of biochemical and physiological characteristics. In the present study, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain JCM 2765T demonstrated a low level of similarity with the type strain of L. buchneri (92.5 %) and high levels with those of Lactobacillus collinoides (97.6 %) and Lactobacillus paracollinoides (98.0 %). Ribotyping was applied to investigate the relationships between strain JCM 2765T, L. collinoides and L. paracollinoides. The dendrogram based on ribotyping patterns showed one cluster for six strains of L. paracollinoides, and that strain JCM 2765T and L. collinoides JCM 1123T were each independent. Based on additional phenotypic findings and DNA–DNA hybridization results, strain JCM 2765T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Lactobacillus, for which the name Lactobacillus similis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JCM 2765T (=LMG 23904T).

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming and nitrogen-fixing bacterium, designated ICB 89T, was isolated from stems of a Brazilian sugar cane variety widely used in organic farming. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain ICB 89T belonged to the genus Stenotrophomonas and was most closely related to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia LMG 958T, Stenotrophomonas rhizophila LMG 22075T, Stenotrophomonas nitritireducens L2T, [Pseudomonas] geniculata ATCC 19374T, [Pseudomonas] hibiscicola ATCC 19867T and [Pseudomonas] beteli ATCC 19861T. DNA–DNA hybridization together with chemotaxonomic data and biochemical characteristics allowed the differentiation of strain ICB 89T from its nearest phylogenetic neighbours. Therefore, strain ICB 89T represents a novel species, for which the name Stenotrophomonas pavanii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ICB 89T ( = CBMAI 564T  = LMG 25348T).

A Gram-staining-negative, halophilic, facultatively anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped and nitrogen-fixing bacterium, designated strain S37T, was isolated from an artificial oil-spill sediment sample from the coast of Taean, South Korea. Cells grew at 10–37 °C and pH 5.0–9.0, with optimal growth at 28 °C and pH 6.0–8.0. Growth was observed with 1–9 % (w/v) NaCl in marine broth, with optimal growth with 3–5 % NaCl, but no growth was observed in the absence of NaCl. According to the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain S37T represents a member of the genus Vibrio of the class Gammaproteobacteria and forms a clade with Vibrio plantisponsor MSSRF60T (97.38 %), Vibrio diazotrophicus ATCC 33466T (97.31 %), Vibrio aestuarianus ATCC 35048T (97.07 %) Vibrio areninigrae J74T (96.76 %) and Vibrio hispanicus LMG 13240T (96.76 %). The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c and C18 : 1ω7c/C18 : 1ω6c. The DNA G+C content was 41.9 %. The DNA–DNA hybridization analysis results showed a 30.2 % association value with the closely related type strain V. plantisponsor DSM 21026T. On the basis of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain S37T represents a novel species of the genus Vibrio, for which the name Vibrio oceanisediminis sp. nov., is proposed with the type strain S37T ( = KEMB 2255-005T = JCM 30409T).
