A novel bacterial strain, designated UDC329T, was isolated from a sample of seawater collected at Dong-do, on the coast of Dokdo Island, in the East Sea of the Republic of Korea. The Gram-staining-negative, motile, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming rods of the strain developed into dark orange–yellow colonies. The strain grew optimally between 25 and 30 °C, with 1 % (w/v) NaCl and at pH 7. It grew in the absence of NaCl, but not with NaCl at >7 % (w/v). The predominant menaquinone was MK-7, the predominant ubiquinones were Q-7 and Q-8, and the major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (33.52 %) and C17 : 1ω8c (11.73 %). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain UDC329T was 50.2 mol%. In phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA and gyrB gene sequences, strain UDC329T was grouped with members of the genus Shewanella and appeared most closely related to Shewanella fodinae JC15T (97.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Shewanella indica KJW27T (95.0 %), Shewanella algae ATCC 51192T (94.8 %), Shewanella haliotis DW01T (94.5 %) and Shewanella chilikensis JC5T (93.9 %). The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain UDC329T and S. fodinae JC15T was, however, only 27.4 %. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and DNA–DNA relatedness data, strain UDC329T represents a novel species in the genus Shewanella , for which the name Shewanella dokdonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is UDC329T ( = KCTC 22898T = DSM 23626T).

Six Gram-stain-positive, motile, filamentous and/or rod-shaped, spherical spore-forming bacteria (strains GY32T, L31, F01, F03, F06 and F07) showing polybrominated diphenyl ether transformation were investigated to determine their taxonomic status. After spore germination, these organisms could grow more than one hundred microns long as intact single cells and then divide into rod cells and form endospores in 33 h. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of these strains was type A4α, the predominant menaquinone was MK-7 and the major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 1ω7C. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine were detected in the polar lipid profile. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these strains should be placed in the genus Lysinibacillus and they were most closely related to Lysinibacillus sphaericus DSM 28T (99 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). The gyrB sequence similarity and DNA–DNA relatedness between strain GY32T and L. sphaericus JCM 2502T were 81 % and 52 %, respectively. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain GY32T was 43.2 mol%. In addition, strain GY32T showed differences in nitrate reduction, starch and gelatin hydrolysis, carbon resource utilization and cell morphology. The phylogenetic distance from its closest relative measured by DNA–DNA relatedness and DNA G+C content, and its phenotypic properties demonstrated that strain GY32T represents a novel species of the genus Lysinibacillus , for which the name Lysinibacillus varians sp. nov. is proposed.
