Type Strains

Three Gram-staining-negative non-endospore-forming strains were isolated from farmed fish in Chile: one (LM-09-FpT) from a rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and the others (LM-19-FpT and LM-20-Fp) from two Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that all three isolates belonged to the genus Flavobacterium . In these analyses, strain LM-09-FpT appeared most closely related to the type strains of Flavobacterium chungangense (98.5 % sequence similarity), Flavobacterium glaciei (98.2 %), Flavobacterium aquidurense (97.6 %), Flavobacterium saccharophilum (97.6 %) and Flavobacterium hercynium (97.6 %). The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains LM-19-FpT and LM-20-Fp were found to be identical and most similar to the corresponding sequences of the type strains of Flavobacterium aquidurense (98.6 %), Flavobacterium frigidimaris (98.5 %), Flavobacterium hercynium (97.9 %), Flavobacterium saccharophilum (97.7 %) and Flavobacterium pectinovorum (97.7 %). For each of the three novel strains, menaquinone (MK-6) was the predominant respiratory quinone and the major compounds in the polar lipid profile were phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminolipid, phosphatidylserine and two or three unknown lipids. The fatty acid profile of each strain, which comprised major amounts of iso-C15 : 0, C15 : 0 and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH) as well as smaller amounts of various hydroxylated fatty acids (e.g. iso-C16 : 0 3-OH, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, C16 : 0 3-OH and C15 : 0 3-OH), indicated that each belonged to the genus Flavobacterium . Based on their physiological and biochemical characteristics and the results of DNA–DNA hybridizations, which showed relatively low levels of relatedness between the novel strains and the most closely related Flavobacterium species, strain LM-09-FpT ( = LMG 26360T = CCM 7940T) represents a novel species within the genus Flavobacterium , for which the name Flavobacterium chilense sp. nov. is proposed, and strains LM-19-FpT ( = LMG 26359T = CCM 7939T) and LM-20-Fp ( = LMG 26331) represent a second novel species within the same genus, for which the name Flavobacterium araucananum sp. nov. is proposed.

Parvularcula flava was proposed as a novel member of genus Parvularcula in 2016. Some time earlier, Aquisalinus flavus has been proposed as a novel species of a novel genus named Aquisalinus . When comparing the 16S rRNA gene sequences of type strains P. flava NH6-79T and A. flavus D11M-2T, they showed 97.9 % sequence identity, much higher than the sequence identities 92.7–94.3 % between P. flava NH6-79T and type strains in the genus Parvularcula , indicating that the later proposed novel taxon Parvularcula flava need reclassification. The phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and genome sequences both showed that P. flava NH6-79T and A. flavus D11M-2T formed a separated branch away from strains in the genera Parvularcula , Marinicaulis and Amphiplicatus . The average amino acid identity and average nucleotide identity values of P. flava NH6-79T and A. flavus D11M-2T were 87.9 and 85.0 %, respectively, much higher than the values between P. flava NH6-79T and other closely related type strains (54.3 %–58.1 % and 68.6–70.4 %, respectively). P. flava NH6-79T and A. flavus D11M-2T also contained summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω6c and/or C18 : 1  ω7c) and C16 : 0 as major fatty acids, distinguishing them from other closely related taxa. Based on the results of the phylogenetic, comparative genomic and phenotypic analyses, Parvularcula flava should be reclassified as Aquisalinus luteolus nom. nov. and the description of genus Aquisalinus is emended.

Five acetic acid bacteria isolates, awK9_3, awK9_4 ( = LMG 27543), awK9_5 ( = LMG 28092), awK9_6 and awK9_9, obtained during a study of micro-organisms present in traditionally produced kefir, were grouped on the basis of their MALDI-TOF MS profile with LMG 1530 and LMG 1531T, two strains currently classified as members of the genus Acetobacter . Phylogenetic analysis based on nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences as well as on concatenated partial sequences of the housekeeping genes dnaK, groEL and rpoB indicated that these isolates were representatives of a single novel species together with LMG 1530 and LMG 1531T in the genus Acetobacter , with Acetobacter aceti , Acetobacter nitrogenifigens , Acetobacter oeni and Acetobacter estunensis as nearest phylogenetic neighbours. Pairwise similarity of 16S rRNA gene sequences between LMG 1531T and the type strains of the above-mentioned species were 99.7 %, 99.1 %, 98.4 % and 98.2 %, respectively. DNA–DNA hybridizations confirmed that status, while amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) data indicated that LMG 1531T, LMG 1530, LMG 27543 and LMG 28092 represent at least two different strains of the novel species. The major fatty acid of LMG 1531T and LMG 27543 was C18 : 1ω7c. The major ubiquinone present was Q-9 and the DNA G+C contents of LMG 1531T and LMG 27543 were 58.3 and 56.7 mol%, respectively. The strains were able to grow on d-fructose and d-sorbitol as a single carbon source. They were also able to grow on yeast extract with 30 % d-glucose and on standard medium with pH 3.6 or containing 1 % NaCl. They had a weak ability to produce acid from d-arabinose. These features enabled their differentiation from their nearest phylogenetic neighbours. The name Acetobacter sicerae sp. nov. is proposed with LMG 1531T ( = NCIMB 8941T) as the type strain.

To investigate the biodiversity of bacteria in the spring water of the Chengcing Lake Park in Taiwan, a Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, non-spore-forming and aerobic bacterial strain, designated strain Chen16-4T, was isolated and characterized in a taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the closest relatives of strain Chen16-4T were Sphingobium amiense YTT, Sphingobium yanoikuyae GIFU 9882T and Sphingobium scionense WP01T, with sequence similarities of 97.6, 97.1 and 97.0 %, respectively. A phylogenetic tree obtained with 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain Chen16-4T and these three closest relatives formed an independent phylogenetic clade within the genus Sphingobium . The polar lipid pattern, the presence of spermidine and ubiquinone Q-10, the predominance of C18 : 1ω7c in the cellular fatty acid profile and the DNA G+C content also supported affiliation of the isolate to the genus Sphingobium . The DNA–DNA relatedness of strain Chen16-4T with respect to recognized species of the genus Sphingobium was less than 70 %. On the basis of the genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, strain Chen16-4T represents a novel species in the genus Sphingobium , for which the name Sphingobium fontiphilum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Chen16-4T ( = BCRC 80308T = LMG 26342T = KCTC 23559T).

During a study of endophytic bacteria from coastal dune plants, a bacterial strain, designated YC6881T, was isolated from the root of Rosa rugosa collected from the coastal dune areas of Namhae Island, Korea. The bacterium was found to be Gram-staining-negative, motile, halophilic and heterotrophic with a single polar flagellum. Strain YC6881T grew at temperatures of 4–37 °C (optimum, 28–32 °C), at pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0–8.0), and at NaCl concentrations in the range of 0–7.5 % (w/v) (optimum, 4–5 % NaCl). Strain YC6881T was catalase- and oxidase-positive and negative for nitrate reduction. According to phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain YC6881T belonged to the genus Rhizobium and showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 96.9 % to Rhizobium rosettiformans , followed by Rhizobium borbori (96.3 %), Rhizobium radiobacter (96.1 %), Rhizobium daejeonense (95.9 %), Rhizobium larrymoorei (95.6 %) and Rhizobium giardinii (95.4 %). Phylogenetic analysis of strain YC6881T by recA, atpD, glnII and 16S–23S intergenic spacer (IGS) sequences all confirmed the phylogenetic arrangements obtained by using 16S rRNA gene sequences. Cross-nodulation tests showed that strain YC6881T was a symbiotic bacterium that nodulated Vigna unguiculata and Pisum sativum. The major components of the cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c (53.7 %), C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (12.6 %) and C12 : 0 (8.1 %). The DNA G+C content was 52.8 mol%. Phenotypic and physiological tests with respect to carbon source utilization, antibiotic resistance, growth conditions, phylogenetic analyses of housekeeping genes recA, atpD and glnII, and fatty acid composition could be used to discriminate strain YC6881T from other species of the genus Rhizobium in the same sublineage. Based on the results obtained in this study, strain YC6881T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Rhizobium , for which the name Rhizobium halophytocola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YC6881T ( = KACC 13775T = DSM 21600T).

Strain WPAGA1T was isolated from marine sediment of the west Pacific Ocean. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate belonged to the genus Flammeovirga . Strain WPAGA1T exhibited highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Flammeovirga yaeyamensis NBRC 100898T (98.1 %) and lower sequence similarity with Flammeovirga arenaria IFO 15982T (94.6 %) and other members of the genus Flammeovirga (<94.2 %). DNA–DNA relatedness studies showed that strain WPAGA1T was distinct from F. yaeyamensis NBRC 100898T and F. arenaria NBRC 15982T (43±4 % and 32±2 % relatedness values, respectively). Strain WPAGA1T could be distinguished from all known members of the genus Flammeovirga by a number of phenotypic features. However, the dominant fatty acids of strain WPAGA1T (iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 and C20 : 4ω6,9,12,15c), the major polyamine (cadaverine) and the G+C content of the chromosomal DNA (32.9 mol%) were consistent with those of members of the genus Flammeovirga . Based on phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features and 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain WPAGA1T can be assigned to the genus Flammeovirga as a representative of a novel species, for which the name Flammeovirga pacifica sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is WPAGA1T ( = CCTCC AB 2010364T = LMG 26175T = DSM 24597T = MCCC 1A06425T).

Emended Description

While characterizing a related strain, it was noted that there was little difference between the 16S rRNA gene sequences of Bacillus indicus LMG 22858T and Bacillus cibi DSM 16189T. Phenotypic characterization revealed differences only in the utilization of mannose and galactose and slight variation in pigmentation. Whole genome shotgun sequencing and comparative genomics were used to calculate established phylogenomic metrics and explain phenotypic differences. The full, genome-derived 16S rRNA gene sequences were 99.74 % similar. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) of the two strains was 98.0 %, the average amino acid identity (AAI) was 98.3 %, and the estimated DNA–DNA hybridization determined by the genome–genome distance calculator was 80.3 %. These values are higher than the species thresholds for these metrics, which are 95 %, 95 % and 70 %, respectively, suggesting that these two strains should be classified as members of the same species. We propose reclassification of Bacillus cibi as a later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus indicus and an emended description of Bacillus indicus .

An endophytic actinomycete, designated strain I10A-01259T, was isolated from a surface-sterilized fruit of Lonicera maackii (Rupr.) Maxim., a medicinal plant, which was collected from a suburb of Beijing, China. Whole-cell hydrolysates of the isolate contained galactose and meso-diaminopimelic acid. The predominant phospholipids were phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol; the menaquinones consisted mainly of MK-9, MK-11 and MK-12, with a minor amount of MK-10. The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain I10A-01259T was most closely related to Nocardiopsis arabia S186T (93.2 % sequence similarity), Thermobifida halotolerans YIM 90462T (93.0 %) and other strains of genera within the families Nocardiopsaceae and Thermomonosporaceae . On the phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain I10A-01259T fell within the radius of the suborder Streptosporangineae , in which the strain formed a distinct lineage next to the genera of the families Nocardiopsaceae and Thermomonosporaceae . Based on the data from our polyphasic taxonomic study, a novel genus and species, Allonocardiopsis opalescens gen. nov., sp. nov., are proposed within the suborder Streptosporangineae . The type strain of Allonocardiopsis opalescens is strain I10A-01259T ( = CPCC 203428T  = DSM 45601T  = KCTC 19844T).

Strain MBRT was isolated from landfill leachate in a solid-waste disposal site in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. An analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the isolate was closely related to members of the genus Pseudomonas , sharing the highest sequence similarities with Pseudomonas toyotomiensis HT-3T (99.8 %), Pseudomonas alcaliphila AL15-21T (99.7 %) and Pseudomonas oleovorans ATCC 8062T (99.4 %). Multi-locus sequence analysis based on three housekeeping genes (gyrB, rpoB and rpoD) provided higher resolution at the species level than that based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, which was further confirmed by less than 70 % DNA–DNA relatedness between the new isolate and P. toyotomiensis HT-3T (61.3 %), P. alcaliphila AL15-21T (51.5 %) and P. oleovorans ATCC 8062T (57.8 %). The DNA G+C content of strain MBRT was 61.9 mol% and the major ubiquinone was Q-9. The major cellular fatty acids (>10 %) were C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c, C16 : 0, and C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c. Polyphasic analysis indicates that strain MBRT represents a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas , for which the name Pseudomonas chengduensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MBRT ( = CGMCC 2318T = DSM 26382T).

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, pale yellow, rod-shaped bacterial strain, YW14T, was isolated from soil and its taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic study. Strain YW14T did not form nodules on three different legumes, and the nodD and nifH genes were not detected by PCR. Strain YW14T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone. The major cellular fatty acid was C18 : 1ω7c. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and seven housekeeping gene sequences (recA, atpD, glnII, gyrB, rpoB, dnaK and thrC) showed that strain YW14T belonged to the genus Rhizobium . Strain YW14T showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 93.4–97.3 % to the type strains of recognized species of the genus Rhizobium . DNA–DNA relatedness between strain YW14T and the type strains of Rhizobium sullae IS123T and Rhizobium yanglingense CCBAU 71623T was 19.6–25.7 %, indicating that strain YW14T was distinct from them genetically. Strain YW14T could also be differentiated from these phylogenetically related species of the genus Rhizobium by various phenotypic properties. On the basis of phenotypic properties, phylogenetic distinctiveness and genetic data, strain YW14T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Rhizobium , for which the name Rhizobium flavum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YW14T ( = KACC 17222T = CCTCC AB2013042T).

A novel Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming, irregular short rod-shaped actinobacterial strain, designated YIM 102482-1T, was isolated from the faeces of Macaca mulatta. Strain YIM 102482-1T grew optimally at 30–37 °C, at pH 8.0 and in the presence of 1.0–3.0% (w/v) NaCl. Similarly, analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain YIM 102482-1T was a member of the genus Gulosibacter and most closely related to Gulosibacter feacalis NBRC 15706T (97.6 %), Gulosibacter bifidus NBRC 103089T (97.6 %), Gulosibacter chungangensis KCTC 13959T (96.4 %) and Gulosibacter molinativorax DSM 13485T (96.0 %), respectively. Furthermore, phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and genomic sequences demonstrated that strain YIM 102482-1T formed a distinct branch with all type strains of the genus Gulosibacter . The major whole-cell sugars and cellular fatty acids (>10.0 %) were ribose and rhamnose, and anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and C16 : 0, respectively. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9, and 2,4-diaminobutyric acid and ornithine were the diagnostic diamino acids in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The dominant polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and unidentified glycolipid. The DNA G+C content of YIM 102482-1T was 63.0 mol%. Based on analysis results of physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic data, strain YIM 102482-1T represents a novel species of the genus Gulosibacter , for which the name Gulosibacter macacae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 102482-1T(=DSM 102156T=CCTCC AB 2016023T).
