An aerobic, rod-shaped, Gram-positive, oxidase- and catalase-positive bacterial isolate, strain YLB-01T, was characterized using phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the isolate belonged to the genus Microbacterium and represented an evolutionary lineage that was distinct from recognized species of the genus Microbacterium . The isolate showed <97 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with respect to the type strains of all of the members of the genus Microbacterium with validly published names. Cell-wall hydrolysate from the isolate contained the amino acids ornithine, alanine, glycine homoserine and glutamic acid, and the cell-wall sugars consisted of ribose, glucose and galactose. The main respiratory quinones were MK-8, 9, 10 and 11. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 (38.5 %), anteiso-C17 : 0 (23.1 %) and C16 : 0 (18.9 %). The polar lipids contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid and two unidentified glycolipids. The DNA G+C content of strain YLB-01T was 71 mol%. On the basis of the morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic data and the results of comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, this isolate represents a novel species of the genus Microbacterium , for which the name Microbacterium sediminis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YLB-01T ( = DSM 23767T = CCTCC AB2010363T = MCCC 1A06153T).

Two strains, designated Sac-22T and Sac-41T, were isolated from rhizosphere soil and rhizoplane of field-grown sugar cane clone Co86032. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed a clear affiliation of these two bacteria with the class Betaproteobacteria , their closest relatives being Pseudoduganella violaceinigra and Duganella zoogloeoides with 16S rRNA gene sequence pairwise similarities of 96.4–97.2 % to the two novel strains. Strains Sac-22T and Sac-41T shared a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value of 97.6 %. Cells of the two strains were Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, motile and rod-shaped. Ubiquinone (Q-8) was the respiratory quinone and the predominant polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The main cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0, C16 : 1ω7c/iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, C17 : 0 cyclo, C10 : 0 3-OH and C12 : 0. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA was 56.4 mol% for strain Sac-22T and 54.9 mol% for strain Sac-41T. Based on the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and physiological and biochemical characterization, that differentiated strains Sac-22T and Sac-41T from all recognized species of the genus Duganella , it was concluded that strains represent two novel species in the genus Duganella for which the names Duganella sacchari sp. nov. (type strain Sac-22T = KCTC 22381T = NCIMB 14475T) and Duganella radicis sp. nov. (type strain Sac-41T = KCTC 22382T = NCIMB 14476T) are proposed.

A Gram-staining-positive, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, non-motile and aerobic bacterium, strain THG-e54T, was isolated from soil of a flowerbed in Bucheon, South Korea. The taxonomic position of this bacterium was determined in an investigation based on a polyphasic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed a clear affiliation of strain THG-e54T with the genus Terrabacter . Strain THG-e54T showed the closest phylogenetic relationship with Terrabacter tumescens DSM 20308T with a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 98.6 %. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 71.0 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids of strain THG-e54T were iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0, and the predominant menaquinone was menaquinone MK-8(H4). The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, an unidentified amino-containing phosphoglycolipid, unidentified phospholipids, an unidentified aminolipid and an unidentified aminophospholipid. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type was ll-diaminopimelic acid and the cell-wall sugars were glucose and ribose. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed a low level of DNA–DNA relatedness (less than 35.2 %) between strain THG-e54T and its five closest relatives. The combined phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data showed that strain THG-e54T could be clearly distinguished from closely related recognized members of the genus Terrabacter . Therefore the results of this study indicated the existence of a novel species of the genus Terrabacter , for which we propose the name Terrabacter koreensis sp. nov., with strain THG-e54T ( = KACC 17589T = JCM 19342T) as the type strain.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and coccus-shaped bacterium (THG-3.7T) was isolated from seawater. Growth occurred at 10–30 °C (optimum 25 °C), at pH 6–8 (optimum 7) and in the presence of 1–8 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 4 %). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the nearest phylogenetic neighbours of strain THG-3.7T were identified as Paraglaciecola mesophila DSM 15026T (95.3 % similarity), Glaciecola pallidula DSM 14239T (95.2 %), Paraglaciecola aquimarina KCTC 32108T (95.1 %), Paraglaciecola arctica KACC 14537T (94.9 %), Glaciecola nitratireducens KCTC 12276T (94.7 %) and Paraglaciecola psychrophila CGMCC 1.6130T (94.7 %). 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities among strain THG-3.7T and other species were lower than 94.7 %. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified lipid and one unidentified aminolipid. The quinone system was composed of Q-8. The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C18 : 1 ω7c and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH). The DNA G+C content of strain THG-3.7T was 47.9 mol%. On the basis of the data presented, strain THG-3.7T represents a novel species of the genus Glaciecola , for which the name Glaciecola amylolytica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is THG-3.7T (=KACC 19478T=CCTCC AB 2017258T).

A Gram-positive-staining, rod-shaped, facultatively oligotrophic bacterial strain, designated MB18T, was isolated from a water sample collected from the River Mahananda at Siliguri (26° 44′ 23.20′ N, 88° 25′ 22.89′ E), West-Bengal, India. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the closest relative of this strain was Brevibacterium epidermidis NCDO 2286T (96 % similarity). The DNA G+C content of strain MB18T was 64.6 mol%. Chemotaxonomic data [MK-8(H2) as the major menaquinone, galactose as the sole cell-wall sugar, meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic cell-wall diamino acid, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol as constituents of the polar lipids, anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids] supported the affiliation of strain MB18T to the genus Brevibacterium . The results of DNA G+C content, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and biochemical and physiological analyses allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain MB18T from its nearest neighbour B. epidermidis . The isolate therefore represents a novel species, for which the name Brevibacterium siliguriense sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is MB18T ( = DSM 23676T = LMG 25772T).

In this study, two strains (SCSIO 10187T and SCSIO 10197) were isolated from a sediment sample collected from the South China Sea and characterized by using a polyphasic approach. Growth was observed at 15–35 °C (optimum 28 °C) and pH 5.0–8.0 (optimum pH 6.0). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strains were identified as members of the genus Rhodococcus . Phylogenetic analysis showed that the two strains clustered together and the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between them and other members of the genus Rhodococcus were 93.2–97.7 %. The menaquinone type was MK-8(H2). Major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c, C17 : 0, 10-methyl C18 : 0, C18 : 0, C19 : 0 and C17 : 1ω8c. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol mannoside. The DNA G+C contents of strains SCSIO 10187T and SCSIO 10197 were 63.7 and 63.2 mol%, respectively. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data showed that the two strains represent a novel species of the genus Rhodococcus , for which the name Rhodococcus nanhaiensis is proposed; the type strain is SCSIO 10187T ( = DSM 45608T = CCTCC AB 2011024T), with SCSIO 10197 ( = DSM 45609 = CCTCC AB 2011025) as a reference strain.

Strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427 were isolated from the caecal content of a chicken and produced butyric, lactic and formic acids as major metabolic end products. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427 were 40.4 and 38.8 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, both strains were most closely related to the generically misclassified Streptococcus pleomorphus ATCC 29734T. Strain LMG 27428T could be distinguished from S. pleomorphus ATCC 29734T based on production of more lactic acid and less formic acid in M2GSC medium, a higher DNA G+C content and the absence of activities of acid phosphatase and leucine, arginine, leucyl glycine, pyroglutamic acid, glycine and histidine arylamidases, while strain LMG 27428 was biochemically indistinguishable from S. pleomorphus ATCC 29734T. The novel genus Faecalicoccus gen. nov. within the family Erysipelotrichaceae is proposed to accommodate strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427. Strain LMG 27428T ( = DSM 26963T) is the type strain of Faecalicoccus acidiformans sp. nov., and strain LMG 27427 ( = DSM 26962) is a strain of Faecalicoccus pleomorphus comb. nov. (type strain LMG 17756T = ATCC 29734T = DSM 20574T). Furthermore, the nearest phylogenetic neighbours of the genus Faecalicoccus are the generically misclassified Eubacterium cylindroides DSM 3983T (94.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to strain LMG 27428T) and Eubacterium biforme DSM 3989T (92.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to strain LMG 27428T). We present genotypic and phenotypic data that allow the differentiation of each of these taxa and propose to reclassify these generically misnamed species of the genus Eubacterium formally as Faecalitalea cylindroides gen. nov., comb. nov. and Holdemanella biformis gen. nov., comb. nov., respectively. The type strain of Faecalitalea cylindroides is DSM 3983T = ATCC 27803T = JCM 10261T and that of Holdemanella biformis is DSM 3989T = ATCC 27806T = CCUG 28091T.

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium with monopolar flagella, designated as MC042T, was isolated from the profound head ulcers of farmed Murray cod sampled from Zhejiang Province, China. Analysis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence and multilocus sequence analysis phylogeny showed that strain MC042T belonged to the genus Pseudomonas , showing the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Pseudomonas juntendi BML3T (98.9 %), and less than 98.8 % similarity to other Pseudomonas species with validly published names. Whole-genome sequencing and phylogenetic reconstruction based on a core set of 1563 Pseudomonas genes further indicated that strain MC042T was most closely related to the clade formed by Pseudomonas protegens CHA0T and Pseudomonas saponiphila DSM 975T and distantly related to any of the validly published species of the genus Pseudomonas . Furthermore, strain MC042T could be distinguished from its closely related species of the genus Pseudomonas by its ability to assimilate maltose, d-xylose and melibiose, but not d-mannitol. The principal fatty acids were C16 : 0, summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c) and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c). The respiratory quinone was Q-9. Polar lipids of strain MC042T comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, unidentified glycolipids, an unidentified lipid, an unknown glycolipid and aminolipid. Based on its phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic features, strain MC042T is considered to represent a novel species, for which the name Pseudomonas piscis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MC042T (=KCTC 72033T=MCCC 1K03575T).

Two Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped and endospore-forming bacteria, designated WM-1T and WM-4, were isolated from a paddy soil and a forest soil, respectively, in South China. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that both strains were members of the genus Oceanobacillus and most closely related to Oceanobacillus chironomi LMG 23627T with pairwise sequence similarity of 96.0 %. The isolates contained menaquinone-7 (MK-7) as the respiratory quinone and anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids (>10 %). Polar lipids consisted of a predominance of diphosphatidylglycerol and moderate to minor amounts of phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The DNA G+C content was 38.6–39.2 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain WM-1T displayed 99.7 % similarity to that of strain WM-4, and DNA–DNA hybridization between the two strains showed a relatedness value of 91 %. Based on the results of this polyphasic study, strains WM-1T and WM-4 represent a novel species in the genus Oceanobacillus , for which the name Oceanobacillus luteolus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WM-1T ( = KCTC 33119T = CGMCC 1.12406T).

A novel actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-TCZ24T, was isolated from soil and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the organism should be assigned to the genus Cellulomonas and formed a stable clade with its closest relatives Cellulomonas terrae JCM 14899T (98.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Cellulomonas xylanilytica JCM 14281T (97.9 %) and Cellulomonas humilata JCM 11945T (97.7 %). The major menaquinones were identified as MK-9(H4) and MK-8(H4). The phospholipid profile was found to contain diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositolmannoside, a ninhydrin-positiveglycolipid, an unidentified phosphoglycolipid, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified lipid. The major fatty acids were identified as anteiso-C15 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c, C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. Moreover, morphological and chemotaxonomic properties of NEAU-TCZ24T also confirmed the affiliation of the isolate to the genus Cellulomonas . However, multilocus sequence analysis based on five other house-keeping genes (gyrB, rpoB, recA, relA and atpD), DNA–DNA relatedness, physiological and biochemical data indicated that NEAU-TCZ24T could be distinguished from its closest relatives. Therefore, it is proposed that NEAU-TCZ24T represents a novel species of the genus Cellulomonas , for which the name Cellulomonas rhizosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-TCZ24T (=CCTCC AA 2018042T=JCM 32383T).

A Gram-negative bacterium, designated TF5-37.2-LB10T, was isolated from subsurface water of the Toarcian geological layer of Tournemire, France. Cells were non-motile straight rods that formed cream to light pink colonies on 10-fold diluted LB agar. Strain TF5-37.2-LB10T contained menaquinone 7 and its major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and iso-C17 : 1ω9c. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 46 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence placed strain TF5-37.2-LB10T within the genus Pedobacter , family Sphingobacteriaceae . Pedobacter composti TR6-06T and Pedobacter oryzae DSM 19973T were the closest phylogenetic relatives (93.5 and 93.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison and physiological and biochemical characteristics, strain TF5-37.2-LB10T represents a novel species of the genus Pedobacter , for which the name Pedobacter tournemirensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TF5-37.2-LB10T ( = DSM 23085T = CIP 110085T = MOLA 820T).
