A large number of Gram-negative, motile, mesophilic, violacein-producing bacteria were isolated from the soils and roots of Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait. and Kalmia angustifolia L. plants and from irrigation ponds associated with wild and cultivated cranberry bogs in Massachusetts, USA. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences placed these isolates in a clade with Chromobacterium species, but the specialized environment from which they were isolated, their low genomic DNA relatedness with Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC 12472T and C. subtsugae PRAA4-1T, significant differences in fatty acid composition and colony morphology indicate that the cranberry and Kalmia isolates comprise a separate species of Chromobacterium , for which the name Chromobacterium vaccinii sp. nov. is proposed. Strain MWU205T ( = ATCC BAA-2314T  = DSM 25150T) is proposed as the type strain for the novel species. Phenotypic analysis of 26 independent isolates of C. vaccinii sp. nov. indicates that, despite close geographical and biological proximity, there is considerable metabolic diversity among individuals within the population.

A novel, moderately thermophilic, Gram-stain-negative bacterium, designated strain J18T, was isolated from a water-flooded oil reservoir. Cells were aerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive, with a polar flagellum. Growth occurred at 35–60 °C and at pH 6–8.5. The respiratory quinones were ubiquinone 8 and ubiquinone 9. The dominant cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0, C17 : 0 cyclo, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c/C18 : 1  ω6c). The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, an unidentified aminolipid, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified aminophospholipid. The strain showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to Tepidiphilus margaritifer DSM 15129T (98.6 %), Tepidiphilus succinatimandens DSM 15512T (98.4 %) and Tepidiphilus thermophilus DSM 27220T (98.1 %), respectively, and the similarity to other species was lower than 93 %. In the phylogenetic trees, it constituted a unique sub-cluster within the genus Tepidiphilus . The DNA G+C content of strain J18T was 64.44 mol%. As compared with the type strains, the genome-to-genome distances of strain J18T were 34.7–40 %. These results confirmed the separate species status of J18T with its close relatives. On the basis of physiological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses along with the low levels of identity at the whole-genome level, it can be concluded that strain J18T represents a new species of the genus Tepidiphilus , for which the name Tepidiphilus olei sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of T. olei is J18T (=CGMCC 1.16800T=LMG 31400T).

The taxonomic positions of three streptomycetes isolated from a soil sample from a hay meadow were determined using a polyphasic approach. The isolates had chemical and morphological properties typical of the genus Streptomyces and, in phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, formed a distinct subclade that was most closely related to the Streptomyces prasinus subclade. DNA–DNA relatedness studies showed that the novel strains belonged to three different genomic species. The novel strains could be distinguished from one another and from the type strains of the species classified in the S. prasinus subclade using a combination of genotypic and phenotypic properties. On the basis of these data, it is proposed that the novel strains be assigned to the genus Streptomyces as Streptomyces herbaceus sp. nov., Streptomyces incanus sp. nov. and Streptomyces pratens sp. nov., with BK119T ( = KACC 21001T  = CGMCC 4.5797T), BK128T ( = KACC 21002T  = CGMCC 4.5799T) and BK138T ( = KACC 20904T  = CGMCC 4.5800T) as the respective type strains.

A novel Gram-stain-positive, actinobacterial strain, designated C5-26T, was isolated from soil from a natural cave in Jeju, Republic of Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. The organism was aerobic, and cells were non-spore-forming, non-motile cocci that occurred singly, in pairs, in triplets, in tetrads, in short chains or in irregular clusters. Colonies of the cells were circular, convex, entire and white. The peptidoglycan type was A4α with an l-Ser–d-Asp interpeptide bridge. The whole-cell sugars comprised glucose, rhamnose, mannose, arabinose, galactose and ribose. The major menaquinone was MK-8(H4). The polar lipids contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and an unidentified phospholipid. The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C16 : 1 h. The size of the draft genome was 5.32 Mbp with depth of coverage of 161×. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 67.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel isolate belonged to the family Dermacoccaceae and formed a distinct subcluster at the base of the radiation of the genus Luteipulveratus . Highest sequence similarities of the novel isolate were found to the type strains of Luteipulveratus halotolerans (96.2 %), Branchiibius hedensis (95.4 %), Luteipulveratus mongoliensis (95.4 %) and Branchiibius cervicis (95.3 %). The whole genome-based phylogeny supported the novelty of the isolate at the genus level in the family Dermacoccaceae . On the basis of data from this polyphasic study, strain C5-26T (=KCTC 39632T=DSM 108676T) represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Dermacoccaceae , for which the name Leekyejoonella antrihumi gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed.

A novel bacterial strain, designated K2CV101002-2T, was isolated from forest soil collected at Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve, Guangdong Province, PR China. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that it belonged to the genus Chitinophaga and was most closely related to Chitinophaga terrae KP01T (99.0 %), followed by Chitinophaga extrema Mgbs1T (98.3 %) and Chitinophaga solisilvae O9T (98.1 %). The draft genome sequence was 6.8 Mb long with a relative low G+C content of 39.8 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between the novel strain and closely related type strains were 71.4‒76.2 % and 18.4‒19.6 %, respectively. Meanwhile the corresponding values between C. extrema Mgbs1T and C. solisilvae O9T were 98.6 and 88.1 %, respectively. The novel strain contained iso-C15:0, C16:1 ω5c and iso-C17:0 3-OH as the major fatty acids and MK-7 as the predominant respiratory quinone. The polyphasic study clearly supported that strain K2CV101002-2T represents a new species of the genus Chitinophaga , for which the name Chtinophaga silvatica sp. nov. (type strain K2CV101002-2T=GDMCC 1.1288T=JCM 32696T) is proposed. In addition, Chitinophaga extrema Goh et al. 2020 should be taken as a later heterotypic synonym of Chitinophaga solisilvae Ping et al. 2020.

A Gram-staining-positive, heterotrophic, aerobic, non-motile, non-endospore-forming, yellow-coloured rod, designated strain N5T, was isolated from a soil sample collected at an industrial waste site in Noida, on the outskirts of Delhi, India. In phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain N5T was most closely related to members of established species in the genus Microbacterium (with sequence similarities of approximately 94.0–97.6 %), particularly Microbacterium indicum LMG 23459T (97.59 %) and Microbacterium gubbeenense LMG 19263T (97.18 %). In DNA–DNA hybridization studies, however, none of the DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain N5T and members of the genus Microbacterium exceeded 11.3 %. The genomic DNA G+C content of the novel strain was 68 mol%. The chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain N5T, which had MK-11 and MK-10 as its major menaquinones and anteiso-C15 : 0 (45 %), anteiso-C17 : 0 (37 %), iso-C16 : 0 (8.5 %) and C16 : 0 (4.5 %) as its predominant fatty acids, were consistent with classification in the genus Microbacterium . Peptidoglycan in the novel strain, which contained ornithine, alanine, glycine, homoserine, glutamic acid, 3-hydroxyglutamic acid, muramic acid and traces of N-glycolyl residues, was of type B2β. The polar lipid profile of strain N5T comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unknown glycolipid. The novel strain’s major cell-wall sugars were glucose and galactose. Based on the phylogenetic, DNA–DNA hybridization, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, strain N5T represents a novel species within the genus Microbacterium for which the name Microbacterium amylolyticum sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is N5T ( = DSM 24221T = CCM 7881T).

A Gram-stain-positive, strictly aerobic, non-motile, coccoid bacterium, designated NCCP-154T, was isolated from citrus leaf canker lesions and was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain NCCP-154T grew at 10–37 °C (optimum 30 °C) and at pH 7.0–8.0 (optimum pH 7.0). The novel strain exhibited tolerance of UV irradiation (>1000 J m−2). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain NCCP-154T showed the highest similarity to Deinococcus gobiensis CGMCC 1.7299T (98.8 %), and less than 94 % similarity to other closely related taxa. The chemotaxonomic data [major menaquinone, MK-8; cell-wall peptidoglycan type, A3β (Orn–Gly2); major fatty acids, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c/iso-C15 : 0 2-OH; 35.3 %) followed by C16 : 0 (12.7 %), iso-C17 : 1ω9c (9.2 %), C17 : 1ω8c (7.4 %) and iso-C17 : 0 (6.9 %); major polar lipids made up of several unidentified phosphoglycolipids and glycolipids and an aminophospholipid, and mannose as the predominant whole-cell sugar] also supported the affiliation of strain NCCP-154T to the genus Deinococcus . The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain NCCP-154T and D. gobiensis JCM 16679T was 63.3±3.7 %. The DNA G+C content of strain NCCP-154T was 70.0 mol%. Based on the phylogenetic analyses, DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical characteristics, strain NCCP-154T can be differentiated from species with validly published names. Therefore, it represents a novel species of the genus Deinococcus . The name Deinococcus citri sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain NCCP-154T ( = JCM 19024T = DSM 24791T = KCTC 13793T).
