A taxonomic study was carried out on strain SH25T, which was isolated from soft coral collected from Dongshan Island, China. The isolate was a heterotrophic organism to the soft coral, and was a Gram-reaction-negative, short rod that was motile by a polar flagellum. Growth was observed at salinities from 0 to 12 % and at temperatures from 10 to 41 °C. It was unable to reduce nitrate to nitrite. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain SH25T belonged to the genus Parvularcula , with highest sequence similarity to Parvularcula lutaonensis CC-MMS-1T (96.1 %) and Parvularcula bermudensis HTCC2503T (94.3 %); 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to other taxa were below 90.0 %. The dominant fatty acids were C16 : 0 and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c/ω6c,). The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 61.8 mol%. The major quinone was Q10. These combined genotypic and phenotypic data show that strain SH25T represents a novel species of the genus Parvularcula , for which the name Parvularcula dongshanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SH25T ( = CCTCC AB 2010355T = LMG 26158T = MCCC 1A06534T).

Strain SB026T was isolated from Brazilian rainforest soil and its taxonomic position established using data from a polyphasic study. The organism showed a combination of chemotaxonomic and morphological features consistent with its classification in the genus Amycolatopsis and formed a branch in the Amycolatopsis 16S rRNA gene tree together with Amycolatopsis bullii NRRL B-24847T, Amycolatopsis plumensis NRRL B-24324T, Amycolatopsis tolypomycina DSM 44544T and Amycolatopsis vancoresmycina NRRL B-24208T. It was related most closely to A. bullii NRRL B-24847T (99.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), but was distinguished from this strain by a low level of DNA–DNA relatedness (~46 %) and discriminatory phenotypic properties. Based on the combined genotypic and phenotypic data, it is proposed that the isolate should be classified in the genus Amycolatopsis as representing a novel species, Amycolatopsis rhabdoformis sp. nov. The type strain is SB026T ( = CBMAI 1694T = CMAA 1285T = NCIMB 14900T).

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, ovoid or rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated L-6T, was isolated from seawater of Baekdo harbour of the East Sea in Korea and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic study. Strain L-6T grew optimally at 30 °C, at pH 7.5–8.0 and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. In the neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain L-6T formed a cluster with the type strain of Celeribacter neptunius at a bootstrap resampling value of 100 %. Strain L-6T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 97.7 % to C. neptunius H 14T and of less than 96.2 % to the type strains of other species used in the phylogenetic analysis. The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA of strain L-6T was 60.9 mol%. The predominant ubiquinone found in strain L-6T and C. neptunius CIP 109922T was ubiquinone-10 (Q-10). The predominant fatty acid of strain L-6T and C. neptunius CIP 109922T was C18 : 1ω7c. The major polar lipids of strain L-6T were phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified aminolipid and one unidentified lipid. The mean level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain L-6T and C. neptunius CIP 109922T was 17 %. Differential phenotypic properties, together with phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, demonstrated that strain L-6T is distinguishable from C. neptunius . On the basis of the data presented, strain L-6T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Celeribacter , for which the name Celeribacter baekdonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is L-6T ( = KCTC 23497T  = CCUG 60799T).

Strain WPAGA1T was isolated from marine sediment of the west Pacific Ocean. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate belonged to the genus Flammeovirga . Strain WPAGA1T exhibited highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Flammeovirga yaeyamensis NBRC 100898T (98.1 %) and lower sequence similarity with Flammeovirga arenaria IFO 15982T (94.6 %) and other members of the genus Flammeovirga (<94.2 %). DNA–DNA relatedness studies showed that strain WPAGA1T was distinct from F. yaeyamensis NBRC 100898T and F. arenaria NBRC 15982T (43±4 % and 32±2 % relatedness values, respectively). Strain WPAGA1T could be distinguished from all known members of the genus Flammeovirga by a number of phenotypic features. However, the dominant fatty acids of strain WPAGA1T (iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 and C20 : 4ω6,9,12,15c), the major polyamine (cadaverine) and the G+C content of the chromosomal DNA (32.9 mol%) were consistent with those of members of the genus Flammeovirga . Based on phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features and 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain WPAGA1T can be assigned to the genus Flammeovirga as a representative of a novel species, for which the name Flammeovirga pacifica sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is WPAGA1T ( = CCTCC AB 2010364T = LMG 26175T = DSM 24597T = MCCC 1A06425T).

A novel Gram-stain-positive bacterium, designated strain YIM M11385T, was isolated from a marine sediment sample collected from the South Bay, Little Andaman Island, India with a salinity of 35 p.p.m., pH 8.5. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain YIM M11385T belongs to the genus Marininema , supported by a bootstrap value of 100 %. The taxonomic position of this organism was further established by using a polyphasic approach. Strain YIM M11385T grew optimally at 28 °C, pH 7.0 and in the presence of 0–5 % (w/v) NaCl. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain YIM M11385T and Marininema mesophilum SCSIO 10219T was 98.3 %. Strain YIM M11385T exhibited a quinone system with only MK-7, the polar lipid profile included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine as major components, and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain YIM M11385T and M. mesophilum SCSIO 10219T was 59.36 %. On the basis of genotypic and phenotypic data, it is apparent that strain YIM M11385T represents a novel species of the genus Marininema , for which the name Marininema halotolerans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM M11385T ( = CCTCC AB 2012052T = DSM 45789T). In addition, we propose that the description of the genus Marininema should be further emended based on the results of the present study.

A novel actinomycete, designated strain KT2025T, was isolated from arid soil collected from Magusa, northern Cyprus. The taxonomic position of the novel strain was established by using a polyphasic approach. The organism had chemical and morphological features consistent with its classification in the genus Amycolatopsis . Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences supported the classification of the isolate in the genus Amycolatopsis and showed that the organism formed a cluster with Amycolatopsis nigrescens CSC17-Ta-90T, Amycolatopsis minnesotensis 32U-2T, Amycolatopsis sacchari DSM 44468T and Amycolatopsis dongchuanensis YIM 75904T. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity analysis indicated that strain KT2025T was most closely related to Amycolatopsis lurida DSM 43134T (97.5 %), Amycolatopsis keratiniphila subsp. keratiniphila DSM 44409T (97.4 %), Amycolatopsis keratiniphila subsp. nogabecina DSM 44586T (97.1 %), Amycolatopsis nigrescens DSM 44992T (97.1 %), Amycolatopsis azurea DSM 43854T (97.1 %) and Amycolatopsis minnesotensis DSM 44988T (96.9 %). The organism was found to have chemical features typical of members of the genus Amycolatopsis such as meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan, and arabinose and galactose as diagnostic sugars. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The polar lipids detected were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine. The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C14 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 70.8 mol%. Phenotypic data clearly distinguished the isolate from its closest relatives. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data and low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness with its closest relatives indicated that strain KT2025T represents a novel species of the genus Amycolatopsis , for which the name Amycolatopsis magusensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KT2025T ( = DSM 45510T = KCTC 29056T).

Bacterial strain CCP-6T, isolated from a freshwater pond in Taiwan, was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomy approach. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and an up-to-date bacterial core gene set (92 protein clusters) indicated that strain CCP-6T is affiliated with species in the genus Rhodovarius . Strain CCP-6T was most closely related to Rhodovarius lipocyclicus CCUG 44693T with a 98.9% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped and formed light pink-coloured colonies. Optimal growth occurred at 30 °C, pH 6 and in the absence of NaCl. The major fatty acids of strain CCP-6T were C18 : 1 ω7c, C16 : 0 and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c. The polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified aminophospholipids and an unidentified phospholipid. The predominant polyamine was spermidine. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-10. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA was 69.3 mol%. Strain CCP-6T showed 85.8% average nucleotide identity and 14.5% digital DNA–DNA hybridization identity with Rhodovarius lipocyclicus CCUG 44693T. On the basis of the genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, strain CCP-6T represents a novel species in the genus Rhodovarius , for which the name Rhodovarius crocodyli 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.

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, aerobic and pleomorphic bacterium, designated BS-W13T, was isolated from a tidal flat on the South Sea, South Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Strain BS-W13T grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of 1.0–2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Neighbour-joining and maximum-parsimony phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain BS-W13T clustered with the type strain of Seohaeicola saemankumensis , showing the highest sequence similarity (95.96 %) to this strain. Strain BS-W13T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 95.95, 95.91, 95.72 and 95.68 % to the type strains of Sulfitobacter donghicola , Sulfitobacter porphyrae , Sulfitobacter mediterraneus and Roseobacter litoralis , respectively. Strain BS-W13T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1ω7c as the major fatty acid. The polar lipid profile of strain BS-W13T, containing phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminolipid and one unidentified lipid as major components, was distinguishable from those of some phylogenetically related taxa. The DNA G+C content of strain BS-W13T was 58.1 mol%. The phylogenetic data and differential chemotaxonomic and other phenotypic properties revealed that strain BS-W13T constitutes a novel genus and species within family Rhodobacteraceae of the class Alphaproteobacteria , for which the name Pseudoseohaeicola caenipelagi gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BS-W13T ( = KCTC 42349T = CECT 8724T).

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, strain SC13E-S71T, was isolated from tuff, volcanic rock, where the Roman catacombs of Saint Callixtus in Rome, Italy, was excavated. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SC13E-S71T belongs to the genus Sphingopyxis , and that it shows the greatest sequence similarity with Sphingopyxis chilensis DSM 14889T (98.72 %), Sphingopyxis taejonensis DSM 15583T (98.65 %), Sphingopyxis ginsengisoli LMG 23390T (98.16 %), Sphingopyxis panaciterrae KCTC 12580T (98.09 %), Sphingopyxis alaskensis DSM 13593T (98.09 %), Sphingopyxis witflariensis DSM 14551T (98.09 %), Sphingopyxis bauzanensis DSM 22271T (98.02 %), Sphingopyxis granuli KCTC 12209T (97.73 %), Sphingopyxis macrogoltabida KACC 10927T (97.49 %), Sphingopyxis ummariensis DSM 24316T (97.37 %) and Sphingopyxis panaciterrulae KCTC 22112T (97.09 %). The predominant fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c, summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c), C14 : 0 2-OH and C16 : 0. The predominant menaquinone was MK-10. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and sphingoglycolipid. These chemotaxonomic data are common to members of the genus Sphingopyxis . However, a polyphasic approach using physiological tests, DNA base ratios, DNA–DNA hybridization and 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons showed that the isolate SC13E-S71T belongs to a novel species within the genus Sphingopyxis , for which the name Sphingopyxis italica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SC13E-S71T ( = DSM 25229T = CECT 8016T).
