A novel actinomycete strain, designated RP-AC37T, was isolated from rhizosphere soil collected on Mara Island of Jeju, Republic of Korea. Cells were aerobic, Gram-positive, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, non-mycelium-forming and motile rods (0.6–0.7×1.9–2.4 µm). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the organism formed a distinct clade within the radiation occupied by the suborder Frankineae. 16S rRNA gene similarity values were less than 93.2 % to members of the suborder Frankineae and related taxa. The diamino acid isomer in the cell-wall peptidoglycan was ll-diaminopimelic acid. The major whole-cell sugars were glucose, galactose and xylose. The major menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol. The cellular fatty acids were straight-chain, unsaturated and saturated, with a significant amount of tuberculostearic acid (10-methyl-C18 : 0). The DNA G+C content was 73.2 mol%. The combination of morphological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data clearly separate the isolate from members of known genera of the suborder Frankineae and related taxa, suggesting that the isolate represents a novel species in a new genus in this suborder, for which the name Motilibacter peucedani gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is RP-AC37T ( = KCTC 19630T = DSM 45328T).

Actinomycete Strain

A novel actinomycete strain, designated TRM F103T, was isolated from a hypersaline habitat of the Tarim basin in Xinjiang province, north-west China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the isolate belonged to the genus Amycolatopsis and was most closely related to Amycolatopsis halophila YIM 93223T (99.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). However, DNA–DNA relatedness between these two strains, based on triplicate experiments, was only 31.6 %. The isolate contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and ribose, glucose and galactose as the major whole-cell sugars. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H4). The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0 and C16 : 0. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine and glucosamine-containing phospholipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 66.4 mol%. The phenotypic data clearly distinguished the isolate from its closest relatives. The combined phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data indicate that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Amycolatopsis. The proposed name is Amycolatopsis salitolerans sp. nov., with TRM F103T ( = JCM 15899T = CCTCC AB 208326T) as the type strain.

A Gram-stain-positive, motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, ISL-17T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern of the Yellow Sea, Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated by means of a polyphasic study. Strain ISL-17T grew optimally at pH 8.5–9.0, at 37 °C and in the presence of approximately 10 % (w/v) NaCl. It contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid in the peptidoglycan, MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 48.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ISL-17T fell within the genus Alkalibacillus, clustering with Alkalibacillus salilacus BH163T with a bootstrap resampling value of 100 %. Strain ISL-17T exhibited 98.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to A. salilacus BH163T and 95.8–96.5 % similarity to the type strains of the other Alkalibacillus species. The mean DNA–DNA relatedness value between strain ISL-17T and A. salilacus KCTC 3916T was 19 %. The phenotypic properties of strain ISL-17T, together with its phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, enable this strain to be differentiated from recognized Alkalibacillus species. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strain ISL-17T represents a novel species within the genus Alkalibacillus, for which the name Alkalibacillus flavidus sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is ISL-17T (=KCTC 13258T =CCUG 56753T).

Strain 210417T, which forms highly branched substrate and aerial mycelia, is a Gram-positive, aerobic and non-motile actinomycete isolated from mangrove rhizosphere soil. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the strain should be classified in the genus Nonomuraea, being most closely related to the type strains of Nonomuraea coxensis (99.6 %) and Nonomuraea bangladeshensis (99.3 %). Chemotaxonomic properties [madurose as the major sugar in the cell wall; meso-diaminopimelic acid and N-acetylmuramic acid in the peptidoglycan; MK-9(H4) as the major menaquinone; iso-C16 : 0 (24.1 %) as major fatty acid; and phospholipid pattern type IV] are consistent with the assignment of strain 210417T to the genus Nonomuraea. Strain 210417T could be differentiated from the closely related species N. coxensis and N. bangladeshensis by morphological, physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic properties, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization results. It is therefore proposed that strain 210417T represents a novel species of the genus Nonomuraea, for which the name Nonomuraea wenchangensis sp. nov. is given; the type strain is 210417T ( = CGMCC 4.5598T  = DSM 45477T).

The taxonomic position of a rhizosphere soil isolate, designated strain SR8.15T, was determined by using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on an almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain showed that it formed a well-separated sub-branch within the radiation encompassing the genus Saccharopolyspora. Highest levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity were found between strain SR8.15T and Saccharopolyspora shandongensis CGMCC 4.3530T (98.9 %) and Saccharopolyspora spinosa DSM 44228T (98.5 %). However, these strains shared low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness (<26 %). Strain SR8.15T had chemical characteristics consistent with its classification in the genus Saccharopolyspora. It contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained arabinose and galactose. The diagnostic phospholipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. The main menaquinone was MK-9(H4). No mycolic acid was detected. The predominant cellular fatty acid was iso-C16 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain SR8.15T was 70.3 mol%. Strain SR8.15T had a phenotypic profile that readily distinguished it from recognized representatives of the genus Saccharopolyspora. It is evident from its combined genotypic and phenotypic properties that strain SR8.15T represents a novel species of the genus Saccharopolyspora, for which the name Saccharopolyspora phatthalungensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SR8.15T (=TISTR 1921T=BCC 35844T=NRRL B-24798T).

An actinomycete strain, designated YU1183-22T, was isolated from a compost sample collected in Nikko, Japan. The isolate formed white aerial mycelium with relatively long aerial hyphae showing chains of arthrospores. Strain YU1183-22T grew with 0–10 % (w/v) NaCl, at pH 6–11 and at 10–37 °C (optimum 30 °C). Strain YU1183-22T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and no diagnostic sugars. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10(H10) and MK-10(H8). The polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and tuberculostearic acid. The G+C content of the DNA was 72.3 mol%. Chemotaxonomic and morphological characterization clearly demonstrated that strain YU1183-22T belonged to the genus Nocardiopsis. Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the isolate was closely related to Nocardiopsis salina YIM 90010T (98.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Nocardiopsis xinjiangensis YIM 90004T (97.9 %) and Nocardiopsis kunsanensis HA-9T (97.3 %). However, DNA–DNA relatedness as well as physiological and biochemical analyses showed that strain YU1183-22T could be differentiated from its closest phylogenetic relatives. It is proposed that this strain be classified as a representative of a novel species of the genus Nocardiopsis, with the name Nocardiopsis nikkonensis sp. nov. The type strain is YU1183-22T (=NBRC 102170T =KCTC 19666T).

A Gram-positive-staining, motile, rod-shaped, endospore-forming bacterium (BFLP-1T) was isolated from faeces of wild long-snouted seahorses (Hippocampus guttulatus) captured in north-west Spain (Toralla, Galicia). Strain BFLP-1T grew at 10–30 °C and pH 5.5–9 (optimally at 20 °C and pH 7.2) and with 0–7 % (w/v) NaCl (optimally with 2 % NaCl). The G+C content of the DNA was 48.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain BFLP-1T was a member of the genus Bacillus and was most closely related to Bacillus herbersteinensis D-1,5aT (96.6 %), B. shackletonii LMG 18435T (96.0 %) and B. isabeliae CVS-8T (95.9 %). Chemotaxonomic data (peptidoglycan type, meso-diaminopimelic acid; major menaquinone, MK-7; predominant fatty acids, anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and C16 : 1 ω11c; major polar lipids, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and an unknown aminoglycophospholipid) supported the affiliation of strain BFLP-1T to the genus Bacillus. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences and chemotaxonomic and phenotypic features indicated that strain BFLP-1T represents a novel species within the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus galliciensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BFLP-1T (=DSM 21539T =LMG 24668T).
