A Gram-stain-positive actinobacterium, strain PM267T, was isolated from a marine sediment sample in the Mediterranean Sea. The novel strain produced extensively branched substrate and aerial hyphae that carried spiral spore chains. Substrate and aerial mycelia were cream–white and white, respectively. Diffusible pigments were not observed. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain PM267T belonged to the genus Streptomyces and shared a gene sequence similarity of 97.1 % with Streptomyces artemisiae YIM 63135T and Streptomyces armeniacus JCM 3070T. Values <97 % were obtained with other sequences representing members of the genus Streptomyces . The cell wall peptidoglycan contained ll -diaminopimelic acid. MK-9(H8) was the major menaquinone. The phospholipid pattern included phosphatidylethanolamine as diagnostic lipid (type II). Major fatty acids found were iso- and anteiso- fatty acids. The G+C content of the DNA was 71.2 mol%. The strain was halotolerant and was able to grow in the presence of 9 % (w/v) NaCl (with an optimum of 2 %). On the basis of these results and additional physiological data obtained in the present study, strain PM267T represents a novel species within the genus Streptomyces for which the name Streptomyces pharmamarensis sp. nov. is proposed (type strain PM267T  = CECT 7841T  = DSM 42032T).

Strain VN07A0015T was isolated from soil collected on Cat Ba Island, Vietnam. The taxonomic position of strain VN07A0015T was near Streptomyces aomiensis M24DS4T (98.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Streptomyces scabrisporus NBRC 100760T (95.6 %), and it clustered within them; however, this cluster was distant from the type strains of other species of the genus Streptomyces . The aerial mycelia of strain VN07A0015T were greyish and formed imperfect spiral spore chains (retinaculiaperti type) with smooth-surfaced spores. The morphological features of strain VN07A0015T were different from those of the type strains of S. aomiensis and S. scabrisporus . The chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain VN07A0015T were typical for all members of the genus Streptomyces , which possessed ll-type diaminopimelic acid, menaquinone MK-9(H6, H8) and the major fatty acids iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain VN07A0015T and S. aomiensis NBRC 106164T was less than 30 %. In addition, some physiological and biochemical traits differed from those of S. aomiensis . Therefore, we propose that strain VN07A0015T be classified in the genus Streptomyces as a representative of Streptomyces catbensis sp. nov. (type strain VN07A0015T = VTCC-A-1889T = NBRC 107860T).

Two novel chemo-organoheterotrophic members of the Sphingomonadaceae were isolated from alpine and pre-alpine lakes. Cells stained Gram-negative, were motile and rod-shaped, and formed yellow, circular, convex colonies on different agar media. Strains 301T and 469T were strictly aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, and grew at temperatures between 10 and 40 °C (optimum, 28 °C), and at pH values between 5 and 10 (optimum, pH 7). Both strains contained Q-10 as the dominant quinone, sphingoglycolipids and 2-hydroxymyristic acid, whereas 3-hydroxy fatty acids were absent. Major fatty acids of strain 301T were C18 : 1ω7c (53.3 %) and C16 : 1ω7c (22.9 %), with C14 : 0 2-OH (10.8 %) as the major 2-hydroxy fatty acid. Fatty acids of strain 469T were dominated by C18 : 1ω7c (34.4 %), C16 : 1ω7c (32.0 %) and C14 : 0 2-OH (15.2 %) as the major 2-hydroxy fatty acid. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains 301T and 469T were 63.4 and 64.6 mol%, respectively. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison indicated that both strains belonged to the genus Sphingobium . This classification was supported by the presence of spermidine as the major polyamine. The phylogenetically closest relatives of strain 301T were Sphingobium amiense DSM 16289T, Sphingobium vermicomposti DSM 21299T, Sphingobium yanoikuyae DSM 7462T and Sphingobium scionense DSM 19371T (98.8, 98.0, 97.9 and 97.4 % sequence similarity, respectively). DNA–DNA hybridization of genomic DNA yielded similarities in the range 43.2–12.1 % between strain 301T and the type strains of these four Sphingobium species. Closest relatives of strain 469T were Sphingomonas suberifaciens DSM 7465T and Sphingobium scionense DSM 19371T (97.1 and 96.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). The degree of DNA–DNA hybridization between strain 469T and Sphingomonas suberifaciens DSM 7465T was 17.9 %. Based on the results of the molecular analyses and their phenotypic characteristics, strains 301T and 469T represent two novel species of the genus Sphingobium . The name Sphingobium limneticum sp. nov. is proposed for strain 301T( = DSM25076T = LMG 26659T). The name Sphingobium boeckii sp. nov. is proposed for strain 469T ( = DSM 25079T = LMG 26901T). The polyphasic analysis also suggests that Sphingomonas suberifaciens should be reclassified as Sphingobium suberifaciens comb. nov. with Ca1T ( = EY 2404T = ATCC 49355T = CIP 105429T = DSM 7465T = ICMP 12535T = NBRC 15211T = JCM 8521T = LMG 17323T = NCPPB 3629T) as the type strain.

The Family

Two facultatively anaerobic mesophilic bacteria, strains MEBiC 07026T and MEBiC 08903T, were isolated from two different tidal flat sediments and both strains showed approximately 92.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with [Cytophaga] fermentans DSM 9555T. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the two new isolates was 97.5 % but levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between the two were 31.3–31.8 %. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the two isolates and [Cytophaga] fermentans DSM 9555T were affiliated with the family Marinilabiliaceae in the class Bacteroidia . The dominant fatty acids of strains MEBiC 07026T, MEBiC 08903T and [Cytophaga] fermentans DSM 9555T were branched-type or hydroxylated C15 : 0, but [Cytophaga] fermentans DSM 9555T contained a higher proportion of anteiso-branched fatty acids. The two new isolates contained a markedly higher proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids than other members of the family Marinilabiliaceae . The major respiratory quinone of the strains was MK-7. Strains MEBiC07026T and MEBiC08903T utilized a wide range of carboxylic acids whereas [Cytophaga] fermentans DSM 9555T utilized carbohydrates rather than carboxylic acids. The DNA G+C content of the novel strains was about 44 mol% but that of [Cytophaga] fermentans DSM 9555T revealed from the genome sequence was 37.6 mol%. Based on evidence from this polyphasic taxonomic study, a novel genus, Carboxylicivirga gen. nov., is proposed in the family Marinilabiliaceae with two novel species, Carboxylicivirga mesophila sp. nov. with type strain MEBiC 07026T ( = KCCM 42978T = JCM 18290T) and Carboxylicivirga taeanensis sp. nov. with type strain MEBiC 08903T ( = KCCM 43024T = JCM 19490T). Additionally, [Cytophaga] fermentans DSM 9555T ( = ATCC 19072T) is reclassified as Saccharicrinis fermentans gen. nov., comb. nov.

A Gram-positive-staining, aerobic, endospore-forming bacterium, isolated from a necrotic wound of a 35-year-old man was studied in detail to determine its taxonomic position. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons, strain CCUG 53270T was grouped into the genus Paenibacillus , most closely related to the type strains of Paenibacillus rigui (97.2 %), Paenibacillus xylanisolvens (96.3 %) and Paenibacillus chinjuensis (96.1 %). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to strains of other Paenibacillus species was ≤96 %. Chemotaxonomic characterization supported the allocation of the strain to the genus Paenibacillus . The major menaquinones were MK-7 (85 %) and MK-6 (15 %). The polar lipid profile contained the major compounds diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The polyamine pattern contained predominantly spermidine. The major fatty acids were iso- and anteiso-branched fatty acids. The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed phenotypic differentiation of strain CCUG 53270T from closely related species. Thus, strain CCUG 53270T represents a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus , for which the name Paenibacillus vulneris sp. nov. is proposed, with CCUG 53270T ( = JCM 18268T) as the type strain.

Strain MBRL 34T, isolated from a sample of limestone quarry located at Hundung, Manipur, India, was characterized by polyphasic taxonomy. The strain showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Micromonospora echinaurantica DSM 43904T (98.4 %), but formed a monophyletic clade with Micromonospora coerulea DSM 43143T (98.3 %) in the neighbour-joining tree. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments gave a DNA–DNA relatedness value of 53.1 % between MBRL 34T and M. coerulea DSM 43143T. Strain MBRL 34T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, galactose and glucose in the whole-cell hydrolysates along with small amounts of mannose, xylose, rhamnose and ribose. The major polar lipids detected were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositolmannoside, along with an unknown lipid. MK-10(H6), MK-10(H2) MK-11(H4) and MK-10(H4) were the predominant menaquinones detected. The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 73.5 %. Based on the taxonomic characteristics from a polyphasic study, strain MBRL 34T merits recognition as a representative of a novel species of the genus Micromonospora for which the name Micromonospora kangleipakensis sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is MBRL 34T ( = DSM 45612T = JCM 17696T).

A strain of thermotolerant actinomycete, designated YIM 75948T, was isolated from a soil sample in Yunnan province, China. The strain grew at 25–55 °C (optimum 37 °C). The substrate mycelium and aerial mycelium produced on Czapek’s agar were both pale yellow to white. The diagnostic diamino acid of the cell-wall peptidoglycan was meso-diaminopimelic acid, and the whole-cell sugars were mannose, ribose, glucose, galactose and arabinose. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and C16 : 0 and the predominant respiratory quinone was MK-9(H4). The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine with hydroxy fatty acids, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and two unidentified phospholipids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 73.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain YIM 75948T belonged in the genus Actinokineospora and that its closest relative among recognized species was Actinokineospora fastidiosa DSM 43855T (97.6 % sequence similarity). The mean level of DNA–DNA relatedness between the novel strain and A. fastidiosa DSM 43855T was, however, only 47.8 %. Based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data and the results of the DNA–DNA hybridizations, strain YIM 75948T represents a novel species of the genus Actinokineospora for which the name Actinokineospora soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 75948T ( = JCM 17695T = DSM 45613T). The description of the genus Actinokineospora is emended to reflect the fact that the genomic DNA G+C contents of A. fastidiosa DSM 43855T and the type strain of Actinokineospora soli sp. nov. recorded in the present study fell above the range given in previous descriptions of this genus.

Two strains, designated 5413J-26T and KIS18-15T, were isolated from the air and forest soil, respectively, in South Korea. Cells of the two strains were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, polar-flagellated and rod-shaped. According to the phylogenetic tree, strains 5413J-26T and KIS18-15T fell into the cluster of Sphingomonas sensu stricto. Strain 5413J-26T showed the highest sequence similarities with Sphingomonas trueperi LMG 2142T (96.6 %), Sphingomonas molluscorum KMM 3882T (96.5 %), Sphingomonas azotifigens NBRC 15497T (96.3 %) and Sphingomonas pituitosa EDIVT (96.1 %), while strain KIS18-15T had the highest sequence similarity with Sphingomonas soli T5-04T (96.8 %), Sphingomonas pituitosa EDIVT (96.6 %), Sphingomonas leidyi ATCC 15260T (96.6 %), Sphingomonas asaccharolytica NBRC 15499T (96.6 %) and Sphingomonas koreensis JSS26T (96.6 %). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains 5413J-26T and KIS18-15T was 95.4 %. Ubiquinone 10 was the predominant respiratory quinone and homospermidine was the major polyamine. The major polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and several unidentified phospholipids and lipids. The main cellular fatty acids (>10 % of the total fatty acids) of strain 5413J-26T were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω6c and/or C18 : 1ω7c), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH) and C14 : 0 2-OH, and those of strain KIS18-15T were summed feature 8 and C16 : 0. Based on the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, and physiological and biochemical characterization, two novel species with the suggested names Sphingomonas aerophila sp. nov. (type strain 5413J-26T = KACC 16533T = NBRC 108942T) and Sphingomonas naasensis sp. nov. (type strain KIS18-15T = KACC 16534T = NBRC 108943T) are proposed.

Taxonomic Description

Strain ATCC 31180T was isolated from soil collected in Hyde Park, Massachusetts (USA), and found to produce the polyether antibiotic lasalocid. The name ‘Streptomyces lasaliensis’ has been in common use since 1974, without a recognized taxonomic description. The most closely related type cultures determined by rRNA gene sequence similarity were Streptomyces longwoodensis DSM 41677T (100 %) and Streptomyces galbus DSM 40089T (100 %). OrthoANI values with S. longwoodensis and S. galbus were 95.50 and 94.41 %, respectively. Chemotaxonomic characteristics supported inclusion within the genus Streptomyces . The cell wall peptidoglycan contained ll-diaminopimelic acid, and the major whole-cell sugars were glucose and ribose. Polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified lipid and one unidentified glycolipid. The major menaquinones detected were MK9(H4), MK9(H6) and MK9(H8). The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 1. Its DNA had a G+C content of 72.6 %. Differentiation of ATCC 31180T from the closely related species was evident from digital DNA–DNA hybridization values of 61.80 and 56.90 % for S. longwoodensis and S. galbus respectively. Significant differences were seen in the polyphasic phenotypic analyses. ATCC 31180T produced lasalocid, grew from 10 to 45 °C, pH4-8 and in the presence of 0–10 % NaCl, 0.01 % NaN3 and 1 % phenol. Melanin was produced; H2S and indole were not. Nitrate was not reduced. Spore chains were retinaculum-apertum and spore surfaces were smooth. Spore colour, mycelia colour and soluble pigment production were medium-dependent. The proposed name is Streptomyces lasalocidi sp. nov.; the type strain being ATCC 31180T (=NRRL 3382T=DSM 46487T).

A Gram-reaction-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming and catalase-negative rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated IWT126T, was isolated from orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) silage preserved in Hachimantai, Iwate, Japan. The isolate showed growth at 15–45 °C, pH 3.5–7.5 and with 4.0 % (w/v) NaCl. The cell wall peptidoglycan did not contain meso-diaminopimelic acid, and the DNA G+C content was 45.6 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0 and C19 : 1 cyclo 9,10. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain IWT126T was classified as a member of the genus Lactobacillus and was most closely related to Lactobacillus odoratitofui YIT 11304T (98.7 %), Lactobacillus similis JCM 2765T (98.5 %), Lactobacillus collinoides JCM 1123T (97.6 %), Lactobacillus paracollinoides DSM 15502T (97.6 %) and Lactobacillus kimchicus DCY51T (96.9 %). Based on sequence analysis of the phenylalanyl-tRNA synthase α-subunit (pheS) gene, strain IWT126T was well separated from its phylogenetic neighbours in the genus Lactobacillus . Based on physiological, biochemical and genotypic results, as well as low DNA–DNA relatedness to recognized phylogenetic relatives in the genus Lactobacillus , classification of strain IWT126T as a representive of a novel species named Lactobacillus silagei sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IWT126T ( = JCM 19001T = DSM 27022T).

A novel thermophilic, Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, endospore-forming, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, strain C161abT, was isolated from a soil sample collected near Kizildere, Saraykoy-Buharkent power plant in Denizli. The isolate could grow at temperatures between 35 and 70 °C (optimum 55 °C), at pH 6.5–9.0 (optimum pH 8.0–8.5) and with 0–2.5 % NaCl (optimum 0.5 %, w/v). The strain formed cream-coloured, circular colonies and tolerated up to 70 mM boron. Its DNA G+C content was 37.8 mol%. The peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. Strain C161abT contained menaquinones MK-7 (96 %) and MK-6 (4 %). The major cellular fatty acids were iso-branched fatty acids: iso-C15 : 0 (52.2 %) and iso-C17 : 0 (28.0 %,) with small amounts of C16 : 0 (7.4 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene revealed 94.6–96.8 % sequence similarity with all recognized species of the genus Anoxybacillus . Strain C161abT showed the greatest sequence similarity to Anoxybacillus rupiensis DSM 17127T and Anoxybacillus voinovskiensis DSM 17075T, both had 96.8 % similarity to strain C161abT, as well as to Anoxybacillus caldiproteolyticus DSM 15730T (96.6 %). DNA–DNA hybridization revealed low levels of relatedness with the closest relatives of strain C161abT, A. rupiensis (21.2 %) and A. voinovskiensis (16.5 %). On the basis of the results obtained from phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, genomic fingerprinting, phylogenetic and hybridization analyses, the isolate is proposed to represent a novel species, Anoxybacillus calidus sp. nov. (type strain C161abT = DSM 25520T = NCIMB 14851T).
