A Gram-stain-positive, oxidase-negative, starch-hydrolysing, actinobacterium (strain JC82T) was isolated from a soda lake in Lonar, India. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, strain JC82T belonged to the genus Georgenia and was most closely related to Georgenia muralis 1A-CT (96.8 %) and other members of the genus Georgenia (<96.5 %). The DNA G+C content of strain JC82T was 73.4 mol%. The cell-wall amino acids were alanine, glutamic acid and lysine with peptidoglycan type A4α. Polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides, an unidentified lipid (L1) and an unidentified glycolipid (GL3). The predominant isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone MK-8(H4). Anteiso-C15 : 0 was the predominant fatty acid and significant proportions of iso-C14 : 0, C14 : 0, C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0 were also detected. Strain JC82T produced thermostable alkaline amylase. The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed a clear phenotypic differentiation of strain JC82T from all other members of the genus Georgenia . Based on these data, strain JC82T represents a novel species of the genus Georgenia , for which the name Georgenia satyanarayanai sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JC82T ( = KCTC 19802T = NBRC 107612T).

A Gram-positive, non-spore-forming actinobacterium (IMT-300T) was isolated from soil amended with humic acid in Malvern, AL, USA. This soil has been used for 50+years for the cultivation of earthworms for use as fish bait. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, strain IMT-300T was shown to belong to the genus Leucobacter and was closely related to the type strain of ‘Leucobacter margaritiformis’ L1T (97.8%). Similarity to all other type strains of Leucobacter species was lower than 97.2 %. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between the IMT-300T genome assembly and those of the closest relative Leucobacter type strain were 81.4 and 23.3 % ( Leucobacter chironomi ), respectively. The peptidoglycan of strain IMT-300T contained l-2,4-diaminobutyric acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. In addition, glycine, d- and l-alanine and d-glutamic acid were found. The peptidoglycan type represents a variant of B2δ (B11). The major quinones were menaquinones MK-10 and MK-11. The polar lipid profile consisted of the major lipids diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and moderate to minor amounts of two unidentified phospholipids, two unidentified glycolipids and an unidentified aminophospholipid. The polyamine pattern contained major amounts of spermidine and spermine. Strain IMT-300T contained the major fatty acids C15 : 0 anteiso, C16 : 0 iso and C17 : 0 anteiso, like other members of the genus Leucobacter . The results of ANI and dDDH analyses and physiological and biochemical tests allowed a genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain IMT-300T from the most closely related Leucobacter species. Strain IMT-300T represents a novel Leucobacter species, for which we propose the name Leucobacter soli sp. nov., with the type strain IMT-300T (CIP 111803T=DSM 110505T=CCM 9020T=LMG 31600T).

Seven Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacteria were isolated from Lebeckia ambigua root nodules and authenticated on this host. Based on the 16S rRNA gene phylogeny, they were shown to belong to the genus Burkholderia , with the representative strain WSM5005T being most closely related to Burkholderia tuberum (98.08 % sequence similarity). Additionally, these strains formed a distinct group in phylogenetic trees based on the housekeeping genes gyrB and recA. Chemotaxonomic data including fatty acid profiles and analysis of respiratory quinones supported the assignment of the strains to the genus Burkholderia . Results of DNA–DNA hybridizations, and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of our strains from the closest species of the genus Burkholderia with a validly published name. Therefore, these strains represent a novel species for which the name Burkholderia sprentiae sp. nov. (type strain WSM5005T = LMG 27175T = HAMBI 3357T) is proposed.

Novel Bacteria

Two novel bacteria, designated strains Gsoil 634T and Dae 20T, were isolated in South Korea from soil of a ginseng field and freshwater sediment, respectively and were characterized by a polyphasic approach to clarify their taxonomic positions. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that, although they probably represented two distinct species (indicated by a sequence similarity of 96.6 %), both strain Gsoil 634T and strain Dae 20T belonged to the genus Sphingomonas and were most closely related to ‘Sphingomonas humi’ PB323 (97.8 % and 96.7 % sequence similarity, respectively), Sphingomonas kaistensis PB56T (96.8 % and 96.7 %), Sphingomonas astaxanthinifaciens TDMA-17T (96.6 % and 95.4 %) and Sphingomonas jaspsi TDMA-16T (95.6 % and 95.8 %). For both novel strains, the major ubiquinone was Q-10, the major polyamine was homospermidine, the major cellular fatty acids included summed feature 7 (C18 : 1ω7c, C18 : 1ω9t and/or C18 : 1ω12t), C17 : 1ω6c and C16 : 0, and the polar lipids included sphingoglycolipid. These chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of both strains to the genus Sphingomonas . However, the DNA–DNA relatedness value between strain Gsoil 634T and ‘Sphingomonas humi’ PB323T was 31 %. Moreover, the results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed the phenotypic differentiation of strains Gsoil 634T and Dae 20T from established members of the genus Sphingomonas . Based on these data, the two isolates represent two novel species in the genus Sphingomonas , for which the names Sphingomonas ginsengisoli sp. nov. (type strain Gsoil 634T = KCTC 12630T = DSM 18094T = LMG 23739T) and Sphingomonas sediminicola sp. nov. (type strain Dae 20T  = KCTC 12629T = DSM 18106T = LMG 23592T) are proposed.

A Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, motile by one polar flagellum, yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain THG-B117T, was isolated from soil of a cornus fruit field of Hoengseong province in South Korea and its taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic study. Strain THG-B117T grew well at 25–30 °C and at pH 6.0–8.0 in the absence of NaCl on nutrient agar. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain THG-B117T was shown to belong to the family Xanthomonadaceae and be related to Dyella japonica XD53T (98.7 % similarity), Dyella terrae JS14-6T (98.0 %), Dyella koreensis BB4T (96.9 %), Dyella soli JS12-10T (96.9 %) and Dyella thiooxydans ATSB10T (96.7 %). DNA–DNA hybridization experiments showed that DNA relatedness between strain THG-B117T and its phylogenetically closest neighbours was below 45.1 %. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain THG-B117T was 64.8 mol%. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, unidentified aminolipids, unidentified aminophospholipids and unidentified phospholipids. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data (major ubiquinone was Q-8, and major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1ω9c) supported the affiliation of strain THG-B117T with the genus Dyella . The results of physiological and biochemical tests suggested that strain THG-B117T was different genotypically and phenotypically from recognized species of the genus Dyella , and represents a novel species of this genus. The name Dyella kyungheensis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain THG-B117T ( = KACC 16981T = JCM 18747T).

On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, strain Sj14aT was shown to belong to the genus Dietzia and was most closely related to Dietzia schimae (98.7 %), Dietzia cercidiphylli (98.4 %) and Dietzia maris (98.6 %). The major menaquinone was MK-8 (H2). The polar lipid profile included the major components diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, an unknown polar lipid and two unknown glycolipids. Phosphatidylinositol and two phosphatidylinositol mannosides, as well as several other unknown lipids, were also detected. The polyamine pattern contained the major compounds spermine and spermidine. The fatty acid profile, containing C16 : 0, C17 : 0, C18 : 1 ω9c and 10-methyl C18 : 0 as major fatty acids, supported the affiliation of strain Sj14aT to the genus Dietzia. The results of physiological and biochemical tests and DNA–DNA hybridizations allowed a clear phenotypic differentiation of strain Sj14aT from the most closely related species of the genus Dietzia. Strain Sj14aT represents a novel species, for which the name Dietzia aerolata sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain Sj14aT (=DSM 45334T =CCM 7659T).

A novel actinobacterium, designated strain H14505T, was isolated from a soil sample collected in Hong Yuan, Sichuan, southwest PR China. The temperature, pH and NaCl ranges for growth were determined to be 15–35 °C (optimum, 28 °C), 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and 0–2 % (w/v; optimum without NaCl), respectively. The polar lipdis detected for strain H14505T were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, glycolipid and four unidentified lipids. The predominant menaquinones of strain H14505T were MK-9(H4) and MK-9(H6), and the prevalent fatty acids (>10 %) were C18 : 1 ω9c, C17 : 1 ω8c, summed feature 5 (anteiso-C18 : 0/ C18 : 2 ω6,9c) and C16 : 0. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene and whole-genome sequences indicated that strain H14505T showed high similarity to Catellatospora vulcania NEAU-JM1T (99.0 %) and Catellatospora paridis NEAU-CL2T (99.0 %), and formed a monophyletic clade within the the genus Catellatospora in the phylogenetic trees. However, the average nucleotide indentity and DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain H14505T and closely related Catellatospora species showed that it belonged to a distinct species. Furthermore, the results of morphological, physiological and biochemical tests allowed further phenotypic differentiation of strain H14505T from its closest relatives. Thus, it is proposed that strain H14505T represents a novel species of the genus Catellatospora , for which the name Catellatospora sichuanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Catellatospora sichuanensis is H14505T (=JCM 32394T=CICC 11042T).

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium, designated SgZ-1T, was isolated from the anode biofilm of a microbial fuel cell. The strain had the ability to grow under anaerobic condition via the oxidation of various organic compounds coupled to the reduction of anthraquione-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) to anthrahydroquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AHQDS). Growth occurred in TSB in the presence of 0–5.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0–1 %), at 10–45 °C (optimum 25–37 °C) and at pH 6.0–10.0 (optimum 8.0–8.5). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain SgZ-1T belonged to the genus Thauera . The highest level of 16S rRNA gene sequences similarity (96.7 %) was found to be with Thauera aminoaromatica S2 T and Thauera selenatis AXT, and lower values were obtained when compared with other recognized Thauera species. Chemotaxonomic analysis revealed that strain SgZ-1T contained Q-8 as the predominant quinone, and putrescine and 2-hydroxyputrescine as the major polyamines. The major cellular fatty acids (>5 %) were C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c (44.6 %), C16 : 0 (18.8 %), and C18 : 1ω6c and/or C18 : 1ω7c (12.7 %). Based on its phenotypic and phylogenetic properties, chemotaxonomic analysis and the results of physiological and biochemical tests, strain SgZ-1T ( = KACC 16524T = CCTCC M 2011497T) was designated the type strain of a novel species of the genus Thauera , for which the name Thauera humireducens sp. nov. was proposed.

An obligately alkaliphilic, anaerobic, thermo- and halotolerant, spore-forming bacterium was isolated from sediments of soda lake Magadi (Kenya) and designated strain Z-1001T. Cells of strain Z-1001T were straight, Gram-positive rods, slowly motile. Strain Z-1001T was found to be an obligate anaerobe. It grew within a pH range from 7.5 to 10.7 with an optimum at 9.25–9.5 (at 40 °C), a temperature range from 20 to 57 °C with an optimum at 45–50 °C, and a NaCl concentration range from 0 to 1.55 M with an optimum at 1.2–1.4 M. Peptides, such as meat and yeast extracts, peptone and tryptone, were fermented by Z-1001T. Carbohydrates did not support growth. With yeast extract as an electron donor, strain Z-1001T reduced S 2 O 3 2 − , NO 3 − , AsO 4 3 − , Fe(III) citrate and anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) as electron acceptors. The isolate was able to grow oligotrophically with a very small amount of yeast extract: 0.03 g l−1. The main fatty acids were C16 : 0, C16 : 1ω7c , C18 : 0 and C18 : 1ω9. The DNA G+C content of the isolate was 35.6 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain Z-1001T is a member of family Natranaerobiaceae , clustering with the type strain of Natranaerobius thermophilus (95.8–96.0 % sequence similarity). On the basis of physiological and phylogenetic data it is proposed that strain Z-1001T ( = DSM 24923T = VKM B-2666T) represents a novel genus and species, Natranaerobaculum magadiense gen. nov., sp. nov.
