A novel, moderately halophilic, Gram-positive coccus, designated strain S2R53-5T, was isolated from jeotgal, a traditional Korean fermented seafood. The organism was strictly aerobic, non-motile, non-sporulating and catalase- and oxidase-positive. Strain S2R53-5T grew in the presence of 0.5–15 % (w/v) NaCl and at pH 6.5–11.0, with optimum growth at 5 % (w/v) NaCl and pH 7.0. The temperature range for growth was 20.0–30.0 °C, with an optimum temperature of 30 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain S2R53-5T belongs to the family Staphylococcaceae and was most closely related to Salinicoccus roseus DSM 5351T (96.8 % gene sequence similarity), Salinicoccus hispanicus DSM 5352T (96.1 %), Salinicoccus alkaliphilus T8T (95.2 %) and Jeotgalicoccus halotolerans YKJ-101T (95.1 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was 47.0 mol%, which is in the range of 46–51 mol% that is characteristic for the genus Salinicoccus. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain S2R53-5T and S. roseus DSM 5351T, S. hispanicus DSM 5352T and S. alkaliphilus KCTC 13928T were 32.2, 15.4 and 4.6 %, respectively. Chemotaxonomic data (major menaquinone, MK-6; major fatty acids, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0; cell-wall murein type, Lys and Gly) and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis supported the affiliation of strain S2R53-5T with the genus Salinicoccus. The combined evidence from the low DNA–DNA relatedness, physiological, biochemical and other genotypic data indicate that strain S2R53-5T clearly represents a novel species of the genus Salinicoccus, for which the name Salinicoccus jeotgali sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S2R53-5T (=KCTC 13030T=LMG 23640T).

Phylogenetic positions, and genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of three novel methylotrophic isolates, strains 301T, 30S and SIP3-4, from sediment of Lake Washington, Seattle, USA, are described. The strains were restricted facultative methylotrophs capable of growth on single carbon compounds (methylamine and methanol) in addition to a limited range of multicarbon compounds. All strains used the N-methylglutamate pathway for methylamine oxidation. Strain SIP3-4 possessed the canonical (MxaFI) methanol dehydrogenase, but strains 301T and 30S did not. All three strains used the ribulose monophosphate pathway for C1 assimilation. The major fatty acids in the three strains were C16 : 0 and C16 : 1ω7c. The DNA G+C contents of strains 301T and SIP3-4 were 42.6 and 54.6 mol%, respectively. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogeny and the relevant phenotypic characteristics, strain SIP3-4 was assigned to the previously defined species Methylovorus glucosotrophus. Strains 301T and 30S were closely related to each other (100 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and shared 96.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with a previously described isolate, Methylotenera mobilis JLW8T. Based on significant genomic and phenotypic divergence with the latter, strains 301T and 30S represent a novel species within the genus Methylotenera, for which the name Methylotenera versatilis sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is 301T ( = VKM B-2679T = JCM 17579T). An emended description of the genus Methylotenera is provided.
