A new strain of the genus Kribbella , PIP 118T, was isolated from the leaf of an Australian native apricot tree (Pittosporum angustifolium), or Gumbi Gumbi in the indigenous language. This strain is an aerobic actinobacterium consisting of hyphae that fragment into short to elongated rod-like elements. Phylogenetic evaluation based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis placed this isolate as a member of the family Nocardioidaceae and most closely related to Kribbella antibiotica YIM 31530T (98.6 %) and Kribbella koreensis LM 161T (98.4 %). Chemotaxonomic data including cell wall components, major menaquinone and major fatty acids confirmed the affiliation of strain PIP 118T to the genus Kribbella . The results of the phylogenetic analysis, including physiological and biochemical studies in combination with DNA–DNA hybridization, allowed the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain PIP 118T and members of the most closely related species with validly published names. The name proposed for the new species is Kribbella endophytica sp. nov. The type strain is PIP 118T ( = DSM 23718T = NRRL B-24812T).

An ivory/yellow, Gram-stain-negative, short-rod-shaped, aerobic bacterial strain, designated JC2948T, was isolated from a soil sample taken from Gwanak Mountain, Republic of Korea. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain JC2948T belongs to the genus Burkholderia . The test strain showed highest sequence similarities to Burkholderia tropica LMG 22274T (97.6 %), Burkholderia acidipaludis NBRC 101816T (97.5 %), Burkholderia tuberum LMG 21444T (97.5 %), Burkholderia sprentiae LMG 27175T (97.4 %), Burkholderia terricola LMG 20594T (97.3 %) and Burkholderia diazotrophica LMG 26031T (97.1 %). Based on average nucleotide identity (ANI) values, the new isolate represents a novel genomic species as it shows less than 90 % ANI values with other closely related species. Also, other phylosiological and biochemical comparisons allowed the phenotypic differentiation of strain JC2948T from other members of the genus Burkholderia . Therefore, we suggest that this strain should be classified as the type strain of a novel species of the genus Burkholderia . The name Burkholderia monticola sp. nov. (type strain, JC2948T = JCM 19904T = KACC 17924T) is proposed.

An endophytic actinobacterium, strain CLES2T, was discovered from the surface-sterilized stem of a Thai medicinal plant, Clausena excavala Burm. f., collected from the Phujong-Nayoa National Park, Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand. The results of a polyphasic taxonomic study identified this strain as a member of the genus Microbispora and a Gram-stain-positive, aerobic actinobacterium. It had well-developed substrate mycelia, which were non-motile and possessed paired spores. A phylogenetic evaluation based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis placed this strain in the family Streptosporangiaceae , being most closely related to Microbispora bryophytorum NEAU-TX2-2T (99.4 %), Microbispora camponoti 2C-HV3T (99.2 %), Microbispora catharanthi CR1-09T (99.2 %) and Microbispora amethystogenes JCM 3021T and Microbispora fusca NEAU-HEGS1-5T (both at 99.1 %). The major cellular fatty acid of this strain was iso-C16 : 0 and major menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The polar lipid profile of strain CLES2T contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol dimannosides. These chemotaxonomic data confirmed the affiliation of strain CLES2T to the genus Microbispora . The DNA G+C content of this strain was 70 mol%. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity blast values between strain CLES2T and M. catharanthi CR1-09T were 62.4 and 94.0 %, respectively. The results of the polyphasic study allowed the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain CLES2T from its closest species with valid names. The name proposed for the new species is Microbispora clausenae sp. nov. The type strain is CLES2T (=DSM 101759T=NRRL B-65340T).

A novel Gram-negative, rod–coccus shaped, non-motile, strain, RS-3T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from the marine transect of Kongsfjorden, Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, Arctic. Colonies and broth cultures were yellowish in colour due to the presence of carotenoids. Strain RS-3T was positive for oxidase, aesculinase, caseinase, gelatinase and urease activities and negative for amylase, catalase, lipase, lysine decarboxylase, ornithine decarboxylase, DNase and β-galactosidase activities. The predominant fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (18.0), anteiso-C15 : 0 (16.8), iso-C15 : 1 G (14.2), anteiso-C15 : 1 A (6.0) and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH (6.8). Strain RS-3T contained MK-6 (72.42 %) and MK-7 (27.58 %) as the major respiratory quinones and phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified lipids make up the polar lipid composition. The DNA G+C content of strain RS-3T was 34.7±1.2 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that Winogradskyella pacifica and Winogradskyella thalassocola are the most closely related species with sequence similarities to the type strains of these species of 98.5 and 97.7 %, respectively. However, DNA–DNA hybridization with Winogradskyella pacifica KCTC 22997T and Winogradskyella thalassocola DSM 15363T showed a relatedness of 22 and 42.5 % with respect to strain RS-3T. Based on the DNA–DNA hybridization values, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics and phylogenetic inference, strain RS-3T is proposed as a novel species of the genus Winogradskyella , for which the name Winogradskyella psychrotolerans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Winogradskyella psychrotolerans sp. nov. is RS-3T ( = CIP 110154T = NBRC 106169T). An emended description of the genus Winogradskyella is provided.

A novel Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, non-sporulating bacterium, designated strain K1T, was isolated from an estuarine water sample collected from Kochi, Kerala, India. Colonies on marine agar were circular, 2.0–2.5 mm in diameter, shiny, yellow, translucent and convex with entire margins. Strain K1T was negative for ornithine decarboxylase, lysine decarboxylase, nitrate reduction and H2S production. The fatty acids were dominated by iso-branched components with a high abundance of iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH; MK-6 (64 %) and MK-7 (34 %) were found as major respiratory quinones; and phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, four unidentified phospholipids and two unidentified lipids were major polar lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain K1T was 46.1 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain K1T was related most closely to the type strain of Zhouia amylolytica (pairwise sequence similarity of 93.0 %). Phylogenetic analysis showed that strain K1T formed a distinct branch within the family Flavobacteriaceae and clustered with the clade comprising species of the genera Zhouia , Coenonia and Capnocytophaga , being phylogenetically most closely related to the type strain of Zhouia amylolytica at a distance of 9.2 % (90.8 % similarity). Other species of the genera within the same clade were related to strain K1T at distances of 15.0–23.1 %. Based on phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics and on phylogenetic inference, strain K1T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus in the family Flavobacteriaceae , for which the name Imtechella halotolerans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed.

A strictly anaerobic, mesophilic, carbohydrate-fermenting, hydrogen-producing bacterium, designated strain RL-CT, was isolated from a reed swamp in China. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, catalase-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile rods measuring 0.7–1.0 µm in width and 3.0–8.0 µm in length. The optimum temperature for growth of strain RL-CT was 37 °C (range 25–40 °C) and pH 7.0–7.5 (range pH 5.7–8.0). The strain could grow fermentatively on yeast extract, tryptone, arabinose, glucose, galactose, mannose, maltose, lactose, glycogen, pectin and starch. The main end products of glucose fermentation were acetate, H2 and CO2. Organic acids, alcohols and amino acids were not utilized for growth. Yeast extract was not required for growth; however, it stimulated growth slightly. Nitrate, sulfate, sulfite, thiosulfate, elemental sulfur and Fe(III) nitrilotriacetate were not reduced as terminal electron acceptors. Aesculin was hydrolysed but not gelatin. Indole and H2S were produced from yeast extract. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 51.2 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 0. The most abundant polar lipid of strain RL-CT was phosphatidylethanolamine. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the isolate belongs to the uncultured Blvii28 wastewater-sludge group (http://www.arb-silva.de/) in the family Rikenellaceae of the phylum Bacteroidetes, and shared low sequence similarities with the related species Alistipes shahii WAL 8301T (81.8 %), Rikenella microfusus ATCC 29728T (81.7 %) and Anaerocella delicata WN081T (80.9 %). On the basis of these data, a novel species in a new genus of the family Rikenellaceae is proposed, Acetobacteroides hydrogenigenes gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of the type species is RL-CT ( = JCM 17603T = DSM 24657T = CGMCC 1.5173T).
