A Gram-negative, motile, aerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive rod, designated P10-2-4T, was isolated from an intertidal sand sample collected from a coastal area of Qingdao (Yellow Sea), China. The isolate reduced nitrate to nitrite and grew at 4–33 °C and with 0.5–12 % (w/v) NaCl. The predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH), C18 : 1ω7c and C16 : 0. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The major respiratory quinone was Q-8. The genomic DNA G+C content was 45.1 %. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain P10-2-4T belonged to the genus Neptunomonas . The isolate shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.1 %) with Neptunomonas japonica JAMM 0745T and 96.9, 96.5 and 95.9 % sequence similarities with N. antarctica S3-22T, N. concharum LHW37T and N. naphthovorans NAG-2N-126T, respectively, strains of the other three recognized species in the genus. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain P10-2-4T and N. japonica JCM 14595T was 35.6 %. Furthermore, strain P10-2-4T could be distinguished from the representatives of the genus Neptunomonas by a combination of phenotypic characteristics, such as temperature and NaCl concentration for growth, nitrate reduction, DNase activity and assimilation of substrates. The data from this study suggests that strain P10-2-4T represents a novel species in the genus Neptunomonas , for which the name Neptunomonas qingdaonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is P10-2-4T ( = CGMCC 1.10971T  = KCTC 23686T).

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, named SJ-16T, was isolated from desert soil collected in Inner Mongolia, northern PR China. Strain SJ-16T grew at pH 6.0–11.0 (optimum, pH 8.0–9.0), 4–40 °C (optimum, 30–35 °C) and in the presence of 0–8 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0–2 %). The strain was negative for catalase and positive for oxidase. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SJ-16T clustered with Luteimonas chenhongjianii 100111T and Luteimonas terrae THG-MD21T, and had 98.8, 98.6, 98.3 and <97.9 % of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to strains L. chenhongjianii 100111T, L. terrae THG-MD21T, L. aestuarii B9T and all other type strains of the genus Luteimonas , respectively. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c) and summed feature 9 (C16 : 0 10-methyl and/or iso-C17 : 1  ω9c). Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine were the major polar lipids, and ubiquinone-8 was the only respiratory quinone. The genomic DNA G+C content was 69.3 mol%.

The Gram-strain-negative, rod-shaped, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile bacterial strain, designated S1-10T, was isolated from marine sediment. Strain S1-10T grew at 4–42 °C (optimally at 30–35 °C), at pH 7.0–10 (optimally at pH 9) and in the presence of 0.5–8 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain S1-10T was related to the genus Aequorivita and had highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Aequorivita viscosa 8-1bT (97.7%). The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. The main respiratory quinone was menaquinone 6 (MK-6). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain S1-10T was 34.6 mol%. The polar lipid profile of strain S1-10T contained phosphatidylethanolamine, two aminolipids, two glycolipids, one phosphoglycolipid and three unidentified polar lipids. In addition, the maximum values of in silico DNA–DNA hybridization (isDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) between strain S1-10T and A. viscosa CGMCC 1.11023T were 15.4 and 75.7 %, respectively. Combined data from phenotypic, phylogenetic, isDDH and ANI analyses demonstrated that strain S1-10T is the representative of a novel species of the genus Aequorivita , for which we propose the name Aequorivita sinensis sp. nov. (type strain S1-10T=CGMCC 1.12579T=JCM 19789T). We also propose that Vitellibacter todarodis and Vitellibacter aquimaris should be transferred into genus Aequorivita and be named Aequorivita todarodis comb. nov. and Aequorivita aquimaris comb. nov., respectively. The type strain of Aequorivita todarodis comb. nov. is MYP2-2T (= KCTC 62141T= NBRC 113025T) and the type strain of Aequorivita aquimaris comb. nov. is D-24T (=KCTC 42708T=DSM 101732T).

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile with one polar flagellum γ-proteobacterium, designated strain SBZ3-12T, was isolated from surfaces of weathered potassic trachyte. Phylogenetic analysis of this strain based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that it was most closely related to Dyella japonica XD53T (97.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Dyella terrae JS14-6T (97.7 %), Dyella soli JS12-10T (97.5 %) and Dyella koreensis BB4T (97.0 %). The DNA G+C content of strain SBZ3-12T was 64.0 mol%. In addition, iso-C17 : 1ω9c, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0 were the major cellular fatty acids and ubiquinone Q-8 was the predominant respiratory quinone. The low DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain SBZ3-12T and recognized species of the genus Dyella and the many phenotypic properties supported the classification of strain SBZ3-12T as a representative of a novel species of the genus Dyella , for which the name Dyella jiangningensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SBZ3-12T ( = CCTCC AB 2012160T = KACC 16539T = DSM 26119T).

A Gram-staining-negative, heterotrophic, facultatively anaerobic bacterium, designated S1T, was isolated from the Cynoglossus semilaevis culture pond in a recirculating mariculture system in Tianjin, China. The taxonomy of strain S1T was studied by using a polyphasic approach. Cells of strain S1T were non-spore-forming, curved rods, 0.4–0.6 µm wide and 1.2–2.0 µm long, and motile by means of a single polar flagellum. The strain was positive for oxidase and catalase activities. Strain S1T was able to grow at 4–30 °C (optimum, 25 °C), at pH 5.5–10.0 (optimum, pH 6.5–7.5) and in the presence of 1–5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2 %). Strain S1T contained Q-8 as the sole respiratory quinone and C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c and C16 : 0 as the predominant cellular fatty acids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 40.1 mol% (T m). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences placed strain S1T in the genus Colwellia , and it formed a distinct lineage in the phylogenetic tree together with Colwellia meonggei MA1-3T, Colwellia aestuarii SMK-10T, Colwellia polaris 537T and Colwellia chukchiensis BCw111T, with 97.7, 96.1, 95.9 and 95.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to these strains, respectively. DNA–DNA relatedness of strain S1T to Colwellia meonggei MA1-3T was 23.5±3.6 %. On the basis of the phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, strain S1T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Colwellia , for which the name Colwellia aquaemaris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S1T ( = CGMCC 1.12165T = JCM 18479T).

A novel salt-tolerant alpha-proteobacterium, designated SALINAS58T, was isolated from Santa Engracia hypersaline spring water in the Añana Salt Valley, Álava, Spain. The isolate was Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, rod-shaped and formed orange colonies on marine agar. Optimal growth was observed at pH 6.0–6.5, at 30 °C and in the presence of 1% (w/v) NaCl. The main cellular fatty acids (>20%) were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c) and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c). The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-10 and the major polar lipids detected were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidilglycerol, four unidentified glycolipids and one unidentified phospholipid. Strain SALINAS58T had the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Altererythrobacter marensis MSW-14T (96.6%), Altererythrobacter aquaemixtae JSSK-8T (96.5%) and Pontixanthobacter luteolus SW-109T (96.5%) followed by Altererythrobacter atlanticus 26DY36T (96.4%). Results of the phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, and phylogenetic approaches based on whole genome nucleotide differences, showed that strain SALINAS58T could be distinguished from recognized species of the genus Altererythrobacter . The genomic DNA G+C content was 61.4 mol%. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization, average nucleotide identity and average aminoacid identity values between the genome of strain SALINAS58T and A. marensis MSW-14T were 18.4, 73.1 and 68.1%, respectively. Based on data from this polyphasic characterization, strain SALINAS58T (=CECT 30029T=LMG 31726T) is considered to be classified as representing a novel species in the genus Altererythrobacter , for which the name Altererythrobacter muriae sp. nov. is proposed.

Strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427 were isolated from the caecal content of a chicken and produced butyric, lactic and formic acids as major metabolic end products. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427 were 40.4 and 38.8 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, both strains were most closely related to the generically misclassified Streptococcus pleomorphus ATCC 29734T. Strain LMG 27428T could be distinguished from S. pleomorphus ATCC 29734T based on production of more lactic acid and less formic acid in M2GSC medium, a higher DNA G+C content and the absence of activities of acid phosphatase and leucine, arginine, leucyl glycine, pyroglutamic acid, glycine and histidine arylamidases, while strain LMG 27428 was biochemically indistinguishable from S. pleomorphus ATCC 29734T. The novel genus Faecalicoccus gen. nov. within the family Erysipelotrichaceae is proposed to accommodate strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427. Strain LMG 27428T ( = DSM 26963T) is the type strain of Faecalicoccus acidiformans sp. nov., and strain LMG 27427 ( = DSM 26962) is a strain of Faecalicoccus pleomorphus comb. nov. (type strain LMG 17756T = ATCC 29734T = DSM 20574T). Furthermore, the nearest phylogenetic neighbours of the genus Faecalicoccus are the generically misclassified Eubacterium cylindroides DSM 3983T (94.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to strain LMG 27428T) and Eubacterium biforme DSM 3989T (92.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to strain LMG 27428T). We present genotypic and phenotypic data that allow the differentiation of each of these taxa and propose to reclassify these generically misnamed species of the genus Eubacterium formally as Faecalitalea cylindroides gen. nov., comb. nov. and Holdemanella biformis gen. nov., comb. nov., respectively. The type strain of Faecalitalea cylindroides is DSM 3983T = ATCC 27803T = JCM 10261T and that of Holdemanella biformis is DSM 3989T = ATCC 27806T = CCUG 28091T.
