A novel, dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing bacterium, designated strain SgZ-2T, which could couple glucose oxidation to iron reduction for energy conservation, was isolated from a microbial fuel cell. The isolate was Gram-staining-negative, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative and facultatively anaerobic. The strain was able to grow on tryptic soy agar at 15–37 °C and in the presence of 0–5 % (w/v) NaCl. The predominant cellular fatty acids (>5 %) were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and iso-C17 : 1ω9c; the major respiratory quinone was MK-7; the major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminolipid and three other unidentified lipids; and the DNA G+C content was 55.3 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA sequences showed that the novel strain was most closely related to Fontibacter flavus CC-GZM-130T (99.9 % sequence similarity), and was a member of the family Cyclobacteriaceae . The levels of DNA–DNA relatedness observed between strain SgZ-2T and F. flavus CCM 7650T (<41 %) indicated that the two strains represented two distinct species. Based on phylogenetic analyses and phenotypic characteristics, strain SgZ-2T represents a novel species of the genus Fontibacter , for which the name Fontibacter ferrireducens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SgZ-2T ( = CCTCC M 2011498T  = KACC 16525T).

A Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, motile, spiral, straight-to-slightly curved rod-shaped and nitrogen-fixing strain, designated SgZ-5T, was isolated from a microbial fuel cell (MFC) and was characterized by means of a polyphasic approach. Growth occurred with 0–1 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 1 %) and at pH 5.5–8.5 (optimum pH 7.2) and at 25–37 °C (optimum 30 °C) in nutrient broth (NB). The strain had the ability to grow under anaerobic conditions via the oxidation of various organic compounds coupled to the reduction of anthraquione-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS). Chemotaxonomic characteristics (main ubiquinone Q-10, major fatty acid C18 : 1ω7c/C18 : 1ω6c and DNA G+C content 67.7 mol%) were similar to those of members of the genus Azospirillum . According to the results of phylogenetic analyses, strain SgZ-5T belonged to the genus Azospirillum within the family Rhodospirillaceae of the class Alphaproteobacteria , and was related most closely to the type strains of Azospirillum lipoferum , Azospirillum thiophilum and Azospirillum oryzae (98.0, 97.6 and 97.1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). DNA–DNA pairing studies showed that the unidentified organism displayed reassociation values of 36.7±3.7, 24.1±2.2 and 22.3±2.4 % to the type strains of A. lipoferum , A. thiophilum and A. oryzae , respectively. Similarities between nifH gene sequences of strain SgZ-5T and members of the genus Azospirillum ranged from 94.0 to 97.0 %. A combination of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genotypic data clearly indicated that strain SgZ-5T represents a novel species, for which the name Azospirillum humicireducens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SgZ-5T ( = CCTCC AB 2012021T = KACC 16605T).

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.

A bacterial strain, isolated from a sample of reef-building coral (Isopora palifera) collected off the coast of southern Taiwan, was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The strain, designated sw-2T, was Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and motile, with subpolar flagella, and formed greyish pink colonies. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain sw-2T was most closely related to Roseivivax halodurans Och 239T (97.4 % sequence similarity) and Roseivivax halotolerans Och 210T (96.4 %). The novel strain did not require NaCl for growth and exhibited optimal growth at 35–40 °C, at pH 7.5–8.0 and with 3–7 % (w/v) NaCl. It produced bacteriochlorophyll a under aerobic conditions. Summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c; 63.7 %) predominated in the cellular fatty acid profile. The novel strain’s major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-10 and its genomic DNA G+C content was 68.8 mol%. The polar lipid profile consisted of a mixture of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, sulfo-quinovosyl diacylglycerol and three uncharacterized phospholipids. The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain sw-2T and Roseivivax halodurans Och 239T was only 15.0 %. The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed the clear phenotypic differentiation of the novel strain from all established species of the genus Roseivivax . Based on the genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain sw-2T represents a novel species in the genus Roseivivax , for which the name Roseivivax isoporae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is sw-2T ( = LMG 25204T = BCRC 17966T).
