A novel bacterial strain designated CJ70T was isolated from tidal flat sediment in Korea. A polyphasic approach was used to identify this strain taxonomically. The isolate was Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped and non-motile. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain CJ70T was related most closely to Stakelama pacifica JLT832T with 95.7 % similarity and formed an independent phyletic line from recognized species of the genus Sphingomonas , comprising a clade with Stakelama pacifica , which is the only recognized species of the genus Stakelama . The predominant cellular fatty acids of strain CJ70T were C18 : 1ω7c (60.0 %), C16 : 0 (21.2 %) and C14 : 0 2-OH (5.8 %). The major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-10. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 61.4 mol%. The results obtained from this study suggested that strain CJ70T represents a novel species of the genus Stakelama , for which the name Stakelama sediminis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CJ70T ( = KACC 16559T = JCM 18079T).

A Gram-stain-positive actinobacterial strain, designated ANK073T, was isolated from rhizosphere soil sampled at a spinach farming field in Shinan, Republic of Korea. Cells of strain ANK073T were found to be aerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming rods which could grow at 20–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 6.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 6.5–7.5) and at salinities of 0–4 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 % NaCl). The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain ANK073T belongs to the genus Agromyces with high sequence similarities to Agromyces humatus CD5T (98.8 %), Agromyces tardus SJ-23T (98.5 %) and Agromyces iriomotensis IY07-20T (98.4 %). The phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain ANK073T formed a distinct phyletic line in the genus Agromyces and the results of DNA–DNA relatedness and phylogenomic analysis based on whole genome sequences demonstrated that strain ANK073T could be separated from its closest relatives in the genus Agromyces . The strain contained 2,4-diaminobutylic acid, glycine, d-glutamic acid and d-alanine in the peptidoglycan. The predominant menaquinones were identified as MK-12 and MK-11, and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C17 : 0, anteiso-C15 :  0 and iso-C15:0. The major polar lipids were identified as diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The G+C content of the genome was determined to be 70.2 mol%. On the basis of its phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties and the results of phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses, strain ANK073T is considered to represent a novel species in the genus Agromyces , for which the name Agromyces humi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ANK073T (=KACC 18683T=NBRC 111825T).

A novel Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterial strain, designated as 4C16AT, was isolated from a tidal flat sediment and characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain 4C16AT was found to grow at 10–40 °C (optimum, 28 °C), at pH 5.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 6.0–7.0) and in 0–6 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain 4C16AT fell into the genus Roseibium , and shared the highest identity of 98.9 % with the closest type strain Roseibium suaedae KACC 13772T and less than 98.0 % identity with other type strains of recognized species within this genus. The phylogenomic analysis indicated that strain 4C16AT formed an independent branch within this genus. The 28.6 % digital DNA–DNA hybridization estimate and 85.0 % average nucleotide identity between strains 4C16AT and R. suaedae KACC 13772T were the highest, but still far below their respective threshold for species definition, implying that strain 4C16AT should represent a novel genospecies. The predominant cellular fatty acid was summed feature 8; the polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine; the respiratory quinones were Q-9 and Q-10. The genomic DNA G+C content was 59.8mol %. Based on phylogenetic analyses and phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain 4C16AT is concluded to represent a novel species of the genus Roseibium , for which the name Roseibium litorale sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the species is 4C16AT (=GDMCC 1.1932T=KACC 22078T). We also propose the reclassification of Labrenzia polysiphoniae as Roseibium polysiphoniae comb. nov. and ‘Labrenzia callyspongiae’ as Roseibium callyspongiae sp. nov.
