Four orange-pigmented isolates, L7-456, L7-484T, L9-479 and L9-753T, originating from surface-sterilized leaf tissues of Jatropha curcas L. cultivars were characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that all four isolates belong to the genus Aureimonas . In these analyses, strain L7-484T appeared to be most closely related to Aureimonas ureilytica 5715S-12T (95.7 % sequence identity). The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains L7-456, L9-479 and L9-753T were found to be identical and also shared the highest similarity with A. ureilytica 5715S-12T (97.5 %). Both L7-484T and L9-753T contained Q-10 and Q-9 as predominant ubiquinones and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol and an aminophospholipid as the major polar lipids. C18 : 1ω7c and C16 : 0 were the major fatty acids. Similar to other species in the genus Aureimonas , hydroxylated fatty acids (e.g. C18 : 1 2-OH) and cyclic fatty acids (C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c) were also present. The DNA G+C contents of L7-484T and L9-753T were 66.1 and 69.4 mol%, respectively. Strains L7-484T and L9-753T exhibited less than 40 % DNA–DNA hybridization both between themselves and to A. ureilytica KACC 11607T. Our results support the proposal that strain L7-484T represents a novel species within the genus Aureimonas , for which the name Aureimonas jatrophae sp. nov. is proposed, and that strains L9-753T, L7-456 ( = KACC 16229  = DSM 25023) and L9-479 ( = KACC 16228  = DSM 25024) represent a second novel species within the genus, for which the name Aureimonas phyllosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strains of Aureimonas jatrophae sp. nov. and Aureimonas phyllosphaerae sp. nov. are respectively L7-484T ( = KACC 16230T  = DSM 25025T) and L9-753T ( = KACC 16231T  = DSM 25026T).

Emended Description

Strains 1-1NT and GYSZ_1T were isolated from marine sediments collected from the coast of Xiamen, PR China. Cells of the two strains were Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped or slightly curved. Strain 1-1NT was non-motile, whereas strain GYSZ_1T was motile by means of one polar flagellum. The temperature, pH and salinity concentration ranges for growth of 1-1NT were 10–45 °C (optimum 30 °C), pH 5.5–8.0 (optimum 7.0) and 0–90 g l−1 NaCl (optimum 50 g l−1), while the growth of GYSZ_1T occurred at 4–45 °C (optimum 33 °C), pH 5.0–8.5 (optimum 6.5) and 5–90 g l−1 NaCl (optimum 20 g l−1). The two novel isolates were obligate chemolithoautotrophs capable of growth using hydrogen, thiosulfate, sulfide or elemental sulfur as the sole energy source, and nitrate, elemental sulfur or molecular oxygen as an electron acceptor. The major fatty acids of 1-1NT were C16 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω7c and C18 : 0, while the predominant fatty acids of strain GYSZ_1T were C16 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω7c and C14 : 0 3-OH. The DNA G+C contents of 1-1NT and GYSZ_1T were 34.5 mol% and 33.2 mol%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that 1-1NT and GYSZ_1T represented members of the genus Sulfurimonas , with the highest sequence similarities to Sulfurimonas crateris SN118T (97.4 %) and Sulfurimonas denitrificans DSM 1251T (94.7 %), respectively. However, 1-1NT and GYSZ_1T shared 95.5 % similarity of 16S rRNA gene sequences, representing different species of the genus Sulfurimonas . On the basis of the physiological properties and the results of phylogenetic analyses, including average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization values, strains 1-1NT and GYSZ_1T represent two novel species within the genus Sulfurimonas , for which the names Sulfurimonas xiamenensis sp. nov. and Sulfurimonas lithotrophica sp. nov. are proposed, with the type strains 1-1NT (=MCCC 1A14514T=KCTC 15851T) and GYSZ_1T (=MCCC 1A14739T=KCTC 15853T), respectively. Our results also justify an emended description of the genus Sulfurimonas .

A novel actinomycete, strain 44EHWT, was isolated from rhizospheric soil under an Elephant ear plant (Colocasia esculenta) in Bangkok, Thailand. Strain 44EHWT produced long branching hyphae and abundant aerial mycelia with chains of rod-shaped spores. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained galactose, glucose, arabinose, ribose, mannose and rhamnose as diagnostic sugars. meso-Diaminopimelic acid was the diamino acid and glycine, alanine and glutamic acid were present in the cell-wall peptidoglycan with the acyl type of the peptidoglycan being acetyl. Phospholipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine with hydroxy fatty acids and diphosphatidylglycerol, as well as other unknown phospholipids; however, no mycolic acids were detected. The predominant menaquinone observed was MK-9(H4) and major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0 and 2-OH iso-C16 : 0. The G+C content of genomic DNA was 74 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that this isolate was most similar to Actinokineospora enzanensis NBRC 16517T. However, DNA–DNA hybridization revealed a low relatedness between this isolate and A. enzanensis NBRC 16517T, indicating that this isolate represented a novel species in the genus Actinokineospora . On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, phenotypic characteristics and DNA–DNA hybridization data, we propose that strain 44EHWT represents a novel species in the genus Actinokineospora , Actinokineospora bangkokensis. The type strain is 44EHWT ( = BCC 53155T = NBRC 108932T).

Bacterial strain NST-5T, isolated from a fish pond in Taiwan, was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomy approach. Results of phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and coding sequences of 92 protein clusters indicated that strain NST-5T formed a phylogenetic lineage in the genus Flavobacterium . Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain NST-5T showed the highest similarity to Flavobacterium enshiense DK69T (94.9 %), Flavobacterium ahnfeltiae 10Alg 130T (94.8 %) and Flavobacterium vireti THG-SM1T (94.8 %). Strain NST-5T showed 68.9–72.5% average nucleotide identity and 19.1–23.7% digital DNA–DNA hybridization identity with the type strains of other close related Flavobacterium species. Cells of the strain were Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, motile by gliding, rod-shaped and formed yellow colonies. Optimal growth occurred at 30 °C, pH 7 and with 0.5% NaCl. Strain NST-5T contained iso-C15:0, C15:0 and iso-C16:0 as the predominant fatty acids. The major hydroxyl fatty acids were iso-C16:0 3-OH and iso-C17:0 3-OH. The polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, three uncharacterized aminophospholipids, two uncharacterized phospholipids and one uncharacterized aminolipid. The major polyamine was homospermidine. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-6. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA was 35.5 mol%. Differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic inference, demonstrate that strain NST-5T should be classified as a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium , for which the name Flavobacterium ichthyis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NST-5T (=BCRC 81198T=LMG 31341T).

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.

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium, designated ZYF650T, was isolated from the hadal seawater (9600 m) of the Mariana Trench. Results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that ZYF650T formed a lineage within the family Alteromonadaceae that was distinct from the most closely related species Marinobacter mobilis and Marinobacter nitratireducens with 16S rRNA gene sequences similarities of 98.0 and 97.7 %, respectively. Strain ZYF650T showed average nucleotide identity values of 75.7 % with Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus , 73.3 % with Marinobacter mobilis and 79.3 % with Marinobacter nitratireducens , and DNA–DNAhybridization values of 21.5, 21.3 and 22.0 % with M. hydrocarbonoclasticus , M. mobilis and M. nitratireducens , respectively, which were lower than the threshold for species delineation. Strain ZYF650T grew with 0–14 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 7–8 %) at a temperature range of 10–45 °C (optimum, 28 °C) and pH 6.0–9.5 (optimum, pH 7.0–8.0). The sole respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-9 (Q-9). The polar lipids in ZYF650T comprised phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified polar lipids, two unidentified aminolipids and two phospholipids. The predominant fatty acids (more than 10 % of total fatty acids) were C18 : 1 ω9c (21.9 %), C16 : 0 (21.7 %), C12 : 0 3-OH (14.0 %), C16 : 1 ω9c (13.2 %) and C12 : 0 (12.2 %). The DNA G+C content of strain ZYF650T was 55.6 %. On the basis of polyphasic taxonomic analysis, strain ZY650T is considered to represent a novel specie of the genus Marinobacter in the family Alteromonadaceae , for which the name Marinobacter salinexigens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ZYF650T (=JCM 33013T=MCCC 1K03552T).

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.

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.
