Two bacterial strains (JA744T and JA745) were isolated from dry soil samples collected from solar salterns at Humma, Odisha, India. Both strains were Gram-stain-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, motile rods. Major fatty acids in both strains included C18 : 1ω7c, C18 : 0 and C16 : 0, while minor amounts of C10 : 0 3-OH, C12 : 0, C12 : 0 3-OH, C14 : 0 and C16 : 0 were also present. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified glycolipid, five unidentified lipids, an unidentified aminolipid and an unidentified phospholipid made up the polar lipids of both strains. Both strains had bacteriohopane derivatives (BHD1,2) and diploptene as major hopanoids. Mean genomic DNA G+C content was 75±1 mol% and the two strains were closely related (mean DNA–DNA hybridization >90 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the two strains clustered with species of the genus Rhodobacter belonging to the family Rhodobacteraceae of the class Alphaproteobacteria . The highest sequence similarity was observed with Rhodobacter sphaeroides ATH2.4.1T (96 %) and other members of the genera Rhodobacter and Pseudorhodobacter (<96 %). However, the two strains were positioned distinctly outside the group formed by the other genera of the family Rhodobacteraceae . Distinct morphological, physiological and genotypic differences from previously described taxa support the classification of these isolates as representatives of a novel species in a new genus, for which the name Falsirhodobacter halotolerans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Falsirhodobacter halotolerans is JA744T ( = KCTC 32158T  = NBRC 108897T).

A Gram-stain-negative, fusiform-shaped, facultatively anaerobic bacterial strain, designated EBTL04T, was isolated from activated sludge using algal metabolites and taxonomically characterized through polyphasic investigation. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain EBTL04T belongs to the family Verrucomicrobiaceae , class Verrucomicrobiae , and is closely related to Prosthecobacter dejongeii DSM 12251T (98.6 % sequence similarity), Prosthecobacter fusiformis ATCC 25309T (97.9 %), Prosthecobacter debontii DSM 14044T (97.5 %), Prosthecobacter vanneervenii DSM 12252T (94.7 %) and Prosthecobacter fluviatilis KCTC 22182T (93.7 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain EBTL04T was 62.7 mol%. The menaquinone MK-6 was detected as the predominant quinone. Strain EBTL04T contained phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylserine as major polar lipids. A fatty acid profile with C16 : 1ω5c, iso-C14 : 0, C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and C14 : 0 as the major components supported the classification of strain EBTL04T in the genus Prosthecobacter . Based on several phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic features, strain EBTL04T was clearly differentiated from its phylogenetic neighbours. Therefore, strain EBTL04T should be considered to represent a novel species of the genus Prosthecobacter , for which the name Prosthecobacter algae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is EBTL04T ( = KCTC 23681T = JCM 18053T).

Two halophilic archaeal strains, YC20T and XD15, were isolated from a marine solar saltern and an inland salt lake in China. Both had pleomorphic cells that lysed in distilled water, stained Gram-negative and formed red-pigmented colonies. They were neutrophilic, requiring at least 100 g NaCl l−1 and 0.5–95 g MgCl2 l−1 for growth at the optimum growth temperature of 37 °C. The major polar lipids of the two strains were phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester (PGP-Me), phosphatidylglycerol sulfate (PGS) and two major glycolipids chromatographically identical to sulfated mannosyl glucosyl diether (S-DGD-1) and mannosyl glucosyl diether (DGD-1), respectively. Trace amounts of two unidentified glycolipids were also detected. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the two strains were 99.5 % identical and showed 94.0–95.9 % similarity to the most closely related members of the genus Halobellus of the family Halobacteriaceae . The rpoB′ gene sequence similarity between strains YC20T and XD15 was 98.2 % and these sequences showed 89.6–92.8 % similarity to those of the most closely related members of the genus Halobellus . The DNA G+C contents of strains YC20T and XD15 were 65.8 mol% and 65.4 mol%, respectively. The DNA–DNA hybridization value between strain YC20T and strain XD15 was 92 %, and the two strains showed low DNA–DNA relatedness to members of the genus Halobellus . The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic properties suggest that strains YC20T and XD15 represent a novel species of the genus Halobellus , for which the name Halobellus inordinatus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YC20T ( = CGMCC 1.12120T = JCM 18361T) and the other strain is XD15 ( = CGMCC 1.12236 = JCM 18648).

Two bacterial strains (JC167T and JC168) were isolated from a soil sample collected from Mandpam, Tamilnadu, India. Colonies of both strains were orange and cells Gram-stain-positive. Cells were small rods, and formed terminal endospores of ellipsoidal to oval shape. Both strains were positive for catalase, oxidase and hydrolysis of starch/gelatin, and negative for chitin hydrolysis, H2S production, indole production and nitrate reduction activity. Major fatty acids of both strains (>5 %) were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C14 : 0 and C16 : 0 with minor (<5 but >1 %) amounts of iso-C17 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 B/iso-C17 : 0 I and C16 : 1ω11c. Diphosphatydilglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol were the major polar lipids of both strains. Cell wall amino acids were l-alanine, d-alanine, d-glutamic acid and meso-diaminopimelic acid. β-Carotene and five unidentified carotenoids were present in both strains. Mean genomic DNA G+C content was 53.4±1 mol% and the two strains were closely related (mean DNA–DNA hybridization >90 %). 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons of both strains indicated that they represent species of the genus Bacillus within the family Bacillaceae of the phylum Firmicutes . Both strains had a sequence similarity of 97.6 % with Bacillus saliphilus 6AGT and <96.8 % with other members of the genus Bacillus . Sequence similarity between strain JC167T and 168 was 100 %. Strain JC167T showed 25.8±1 % reassociation (based on DNA–DNA hybridization) with B. saliphilus DSM 15402T ( = 6AGT).
