Strain DCY 63T, isolated from the rhizosphere of ginseng, was a Gram-reaction-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile, catalase- and oxidase-positive rod. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain DCY 63T belonged to the genus Chryseobacterium and was closely related to Chryseobacterium indoltheticum LMG 4025T (98.1 %), Chryseobacterium ginsenosidimutans THG 15T (98.0 %) and Chryseobacterium scophthalmum LMG 13028T (97.1 %). The major polar lipids of strain DCY 63T were phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), four unidentified aminolipids and three unidentified polar lipids, and the major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) and summed feature 9 (iso-C17 : 1ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl). The predominant isoprenoid quinone of strain DCY 63T was MK-6 and the G+C content of the genomic DNA was 31.6 mol%. The DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain DCY 63T and C. indoltheticum LMG 4025T, C. ginsenosidimutans THG 15T and C. scophthalmum LMG 13028T were less than 30 %. On the basis of these data, strain DCY 63T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Chryseobacterium , for which the name Chryseobacterium ginsengisoli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DCY 63T ( = KCTC 23760T = JCM 18019T). An emended description of Chryseobacterium gleum is also proposed.

Strains of the recently proposed species Bacteroides chinchillae share more than 99.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with the type strain of Bacteroides sartorii although these two species do not appear to be similar from their published descriptions. The aim of this study was to perform phenotypic and genetic analyses of both species to clarify their taxonomic position. B. chinchillae JCM 16497T exhibited high hsp60 gene sequence similarity with B. sartorii JCM 17136T (100 %) as well as B. chinchillae JCM 16498 (100 %). The hsp60 gene sequence analysis and levels of DNA–DNA relatedness observed demonstrated B. sartorii JCM 17136T, B. chinchillae JCM 16497T, and B. chinchillae JCM 16498 are members of a single species. Based on these data, we propose Bacteroides chinchillae as a later heterotypic synonym of Bacteroides sartorii . An emended description of B. sartorii is provided.

An orange-coloured and slender rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain PSC32T, was isolated from the gut microflora of a mussel collected from Gwangyang Bay, South Sea (Republic of Korea). Cells were Gram-reaction-negative, strictly aerobic, and catalase- and oxidase-positive. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 1 G and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH. The only isoprenoid quinone of strain PSC32T was MK-6 and the DNA G+C content was 36.9 mol%. Phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminolipid and two unidentified polar lipids were found as major polar lipids. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain PSC32T forms an evolutionary lineage within the genus Aquimarina and is closely related to Aquimarina spongiae A6T (97.0 % similarity) and to other members of the genus Aquimarina (94.4–96.5 %). Genomic DNA–DNA relatedness between strain PSC32T and A. spongiae A6T was 40.7 %. A number of phenotypic characteristics distinguished strain PSC32T from described members of the genus Aquimarina . On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, strain PSC32T represents a novel species, for which the name Aquimarina gracilis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PSC32T ( = KCTC 23301T = JCM 17453T). An emended description of Aquimarina spongiae is given.

A novel Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-flagellated, strictly aerobic strain with gliding motility, designated SW024T, was isolated from surface seawater of the South Pacific Gyre (26° 29′ S 137° 56′ W) during the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 329. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel strain was related most closely to Aquimarina muelleri KMM 6020T, Aquimarina macrocephali JAMB N27T, Aquimarina addita JC2680T, Aquimarina mytili PSC33T, Aquimarina intermedia KMM 6258T, Aquimarina latercula ATCC 23177T, Aquimarina spongiae A6T, Aquimarina agarilytica ZC1T and Aquimarina brevivitae SMK-19T (96.1, 95.5, 95.0, 94.4, 94.3, 94.0, 93.4, 93.3 and 93.2 % similarities, respectively), demonstrating that the novel strain belonged to the genus Aquimarina . The DNA G+C content of strain SW024T was 30.8 mol%. The major respiratory quinone of strain SW024T was MK-6. The dominant fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 1 G, C16 : 0 10-methyl and/or iso-C17 : 1ω9c, and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH. The polar lipids of strain SW024T were phosphatidylethanolamine, three unknown aminolipids and five unknown polar lipids. On the basis of combined phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses, strain SW024T represents a novel species of the genus Aquimarina , for which the name Aquimarina longa sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SW024T ( = CGMCC 1.11007T = JCM 17859T). An emended description of A. muelleri is also proposed.

A Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, non-endospore-forming rod-shaped bacterium with ibuprofen-degrading capacity, designated strain I11T, was isolated from activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant. The major respiratory quinone was demethylmenaquinone DMK-7, C18 : 1 cis9 was the predominant fatty acid, phosphatidylglycerol was the predominant polar lipid, the cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and the G+C content of the genomic DNA was 74.1 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the closest phylogenetic neighbours of strain I11T were Patulibacter ginsengiterrae CECT 7603T (96.8 % similarity), Patulibacter minatonensis DSM 18081T (96.6 %) and Patulibacter americanus DSM 16676T (96.6 %). Phenotypic characterization supports the inclusion of strain I11T within the genus Patulibacter (phylum Actinobacteria) . However, distinctive features and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis suggest that is represents a novel species, for which the name Patulibacter medicamentivorans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is I11T ( = DSM 25962T = CECT 8141T).

Cells of bacterial strains 4 G-K06T and 4MSK11T, isolated from soil samples collected from monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forest of the Dinghushan Mountain (112° 31′ E 23° 10′ N), Guangdong Province, PR China, were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile and rod-shaped. Strain 4 G-K06T grew at 10–37 °C, pH 3.5–7.5 and 0–3.5 % (w/v) NaCl; while 4MSK11T grew at 4–42 °C, pH 3.5–7.5 and 0–2.5 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed strain 4 G-K06T formed a clade with Dyella flagellata 4 M-K16T, Dyella acidisoli 4M-Z03T, Dyella humi DHG40T and Dyella nitratireducens DHG59T, while strain 4MSK11T formed a clade with Dyella caseinilytica DHOB09T and Dyella mobilis DHON07T, both within the genus Dyella . The result of the partial atpD, gyrB and lepA gene sequence analysis supported the conclusion based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, which showed that these two strains represent two novel species of Dyella . The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization value for the whole genomes were 75.0–79.0 and 20.3–22.6 % between strains 4 G-K06T, 4MSK11T and those described Dyella species with genome sequences; while the DNA–DNA hybridization rates between strains 4 G-K06T, 4MSK11T and closely related Dyella species (without genome sequence) were 29.5–41.8 %. The major cellular fatty acids of these two strains were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1 ω9c, while the major polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and several unidentified phospholipids and aminophospholipids. The only ubiquinone of these two strains was ubiquinone-8. The DNA G+C contents of 4 G-K06T and 4MSK11T were 60.4 and 61.3 mol%, respectively. On the basis of the evidence presented here, strains 4 G-K06T and 4MSK11T represent two novel species of the genus Dyella , for which the names Dyella monticola sp. nov. (type strain 4 G-K06T=LMG 30268T=GDMCC 1.1188T) and Dyella psychrodurans sp. nov. (type strain 4MSK11T=KCTC 62280T=GDMCC 1.1185T) are proposed.

A novel type of freshwater bacterium was isolated from the prealpine mesotrophic Starnberger See (Bavaria, southern Germany). Cells of strain 382T were Gram-negative and rod-shaped, motile and creamy-white. The isolate was strictly aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, and grew at pH values of 6–9 (optimum, pH 7) and temperatures of 10–37 °C (optimum, 28 °C). The genomic G+C content of strain 382T was 64.1 mol%. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, strain 382T belongs to the family Sphingomonadaceae and clusters within the genus Sphingomonas . Sphingomonas histidinilytica UM 2T and Sphingomonas wittichii DSM 6014T were the closest relatives, as indicated by the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities (97.1 % and 96.8 %, respectively). Sphingomonas paucimobilis DSM 1098T (the type species of the genus Sphingomonas ) exhibited 95.3 % sequence similarity. This affiliation of strain 382T to the genus Sphingomonas is confirmed by the presence of Q-10 as the major respiratory quinone, two sphingoglycolipids, C14 : 0 2-OH as the major 2-hydroxy fatty acid and sym-homospermidine as the major polyamine. The main cellular fatty acids of strain 382T were C18 : 1ω7c (39 %), C16 : 1ω7c (21 %), C16 : 0 (10 %) and C14 : 0 2-OH (10 %). Based on the phylogenetic distance from other species of the genus Sphingomonas and its unusually high C16 : 1ω7c content, strain 382T represents a novel species of the genus Sphingomonas , for which the name Sphingomonas starnbergensis is proposed. The type strain is 382T ( = DSM 25077T  = LMG 26763T).

A novel yellow-pigmented bacterial strain, designated ARSA-19T, was isolated from a freshwater reservoir in Cheonan, Korea. Cells were Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped, strictly aerobic and positive for catalase and oxidase. The phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ARSA-19T belonged to the genus Flavobacterium and was related to Flavobacterium macrobrachii an-8T (96.5 % sequence similarity), F. koreense KACC 14969T (96.2 %), F. chungnamense KACC 14971T (96.1 %), F. cheonanense KACC 14972T (96.4 %) and F. aquatile ATCC 11947T (95.6 %). The isolate contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0 (21.8 %), iso-C16 : 0 3-OH (10.4 %), iso-C15 : 1 G (9.3 %), summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c; 8.2 %), iso-C15 : 0 3-OH (7.7 %) and iso-C16 : 0 (7.3 %) as the major fatty acids. The polar lipids of strain ARSA-19T were phosphatidylethanolamine, four unknown aminolipids and two unidentified polar lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain ARSA-19T was 33.3 mol%. Based on its phenotypic and genotypic characteristics and on the phylogenetic evidence presented, strain ARSA-19T is considered to represent a novel species in the genus Flavobacterium , for which the name Flavobacterium dankookense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ARSA-19T ( = KCTC 23179T  = JCM 17065T  = KACC 14968T). Emended descriptions of Flavobacterium cheonanense , Flavobacterium chungnamense , Flavobacterium koreense and Flavobacterium aquatile are also proposed.

A Gram-stain-negative bacterium, designated strain Marseille-Q3039T, was isolated from subgingival dental plaque of a woman with gingivitis in Marseille, France. Strain Marseille-Q3039T was found to be an anaerobic, motile and spore-forming crescent-shaped bacterium that grew at 25–41.5 °C (optimum, 37 °C), pH 5.5–8.5 (optimum, pH 7.5) and salinity of 5.0 g l−1 NaCl. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain Marseille-Q3039T was closely related to Selenomonas infelix ATCC 43532T (98.42 % similarity), Selenomonas dianae ATCC 43527T (97.25 %) and Centipedia periodontii DSM 2778T (97.19 %). The orthologous average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization relatedness between strain Q3039T and its closest phylogenetic neighbours were respectively 84.57 and 28.2 % for S. infelix ATCC 43532T and 83.93 and 27.2 % for C. periodontii DSM 2778T. The major fatty acids were identified as C13 : 0 (27.7 %), C15 : 0 (24.4 %) and specific C13 : 0 3-OH (12.3 %). Genome sequencing revealed a genome size of 2 351 779 bp and a G+C content of 57.2 mol%. On the basis of the results from phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, genomic and phylogenetic analyses and data, we concluded that strain Marseille-Q3039T represents a novel species of the genus Selenomonas , for which the name Selenomonas timonae sp. nov. is proposed (=CSUR Q3039=CECT 30128).

A novel exopolysaccharide-producing bacterium, designated strain k53T, was isolated from sediment from the Arabia Sea, Indian Ocean. The strain was Gram-negative, motile, strictly aerobic, oxidase-positive and catalase-positive, and required Na+ for growth. Its major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8), and its cellular fatty acid profile mainly consisted of C16 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0 and C18 : 1ω7c. The DNA G+C content was 43 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis suggested that strain k53T is a member of the genus Pseudoalteromonas . Strain k53T exhibited close phylogenetic affinity to Pseudoalteromonas lipolytica LMEB 39T (98.0% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Pseudoalteromonas donghaensis HJ51T (97.3 %).The DNA–DNA reassociation values between strain k53T and P. lipolytica JCM 15903T and P. donghaensis LMG 24469T were 17 % and 12 %, respectively. Owing to the significant differences in phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, and phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence and DNA–DNA relatedness data, the isolate merits classification as a representative of a novel species, for which the name Pseudoalteromonas arabiensis is proposed. The type strain of this species is k53T ( = JCM 17292T = NCIMB 14688T).

A novel Gram-staining-negative, strictly aerobic bacterium, designated BS14T, was isolated from a marine tidal flat of the South Sea in Korea. Colonies were opaque, white, smooth and circular on marine agar. Cells were moderately halophilic, non-motile rods showing catalase- and oxidase-positive reactions. Growth of strain BS14T was observed at 5–40 °C (optimum: 30 °C), pH 6.5–9.5 (optimum: 7.0–7.5) and 0–10 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum: 1–1.5 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 61.6 mol%. Strain BS14T contained ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) as the sole respiratory quinone and summed feature 8 (comprising C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c), C18 : 0 3-OH, C10 : 0 3-OH and C18 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The polar lipid pattern comprised phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified aminolipid, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified polar lipid. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain BS14T formed a tight phylogenetic lineage with Defluviimonas denitrificans D9-3T with a bootstrap value of 100 %. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain BS14T and D. denitrificans D9-3T was 97.4 % and their DNA–DNA relatedness was 19.1±3.6 %. Based on the phenotypic and genotypic studies, strain BS14T represents a novel species of the genus Defluviimonas , for which the name Defluviimonas aestuarii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BS14T ( = KACC 16442T = JCM 18630T). An emended description of the genus Defluviimonas Foesel et al. 2011 is also proposed.
