A novel Gram-reaction-positive bacterium, strain CH22-21T, was isolated from a water sample taken from Daechung Reservoir, Republic of Korea, during the late-blooming period of cyanobacteria. Cells of strain CH22-21T were non-motile, ciliated short rods that formed creamy-white colonies on half-strength modified R2A agar. Chemotaxonomic results showed menaquinone MK-9(H6) as the predominant respiratory menaquinone, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositolmannoside as major polar lipids, 16 : 1ω5c, 16 : 0, 17 : 1ω8c and 18 : 1ω9c as major fatty acids, and a DNA G+C content of 71.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated that the strain formed a separate lineage within the order Acidimicrobiales , showing similarity values of <92.3 % with its closest phylogenetic neighbours. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data showed that strain CH22-21T could be distinguished from all genera within the order Acidimicrobiales and represented a novel species of a new genus in the family Iamiaceae , for which the name Aquihabitans dachungensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Aquihabitans dachungensis is CH22-21T ( = KCTC 19849T = JCM 17787T).

A novel Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming coccus-shaped obligately anaerobic bacterium was recovered from a fecal sample obtained from an individual from a traditional community located on the southern coast of Peru. The results of analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated the novel bacterium to be phylogenetically distinct from other genera of members of the Peptoniphilaceae family, sharing a loose affinity with the genera Ezakiella , Finegoldia , Gallicola and Parvimonas . The major cellular fatty acids of the novel isolate were determined to be C16:0, C17:1ω8c, and C18:1ω9c. The DNA G+C content was 29.9 mol%. End products of metabolism from peptone yeast glucose broth (PYG) were determined to be acetate and methyl succinate. The diagnostic diamino acid present in the cell wall was lysine. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic results the organism is a member of a novel genus belonging to the family Peptoniphilaceae for which the name Citroniella saccharovorans gen nov. sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is M6.X9T (DSM 29873T=CCUG 66799T).

Strains originating from various sources and classified as members of the genus Citrobacter within the family Enterobacteriaceae were characterized by sequencing internal portions of genes rpoB, fusA, pyrG and leuS, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, average nucleotide identity (ANI) of genomic sequences and biochemical tests. Phylogenetic analysis based on the four housekeeping genes showed that the 11 species of the genus Citrobacter with validly published names are well demarcated. Strains CIP 55.13T and CIP 55.9 formed a distinct branch associated with Citrobacter youngae . The ANI between CIP 55.9 and CIP 55.13T was 99.19 %, whereas it was 94.75 % between CIP 55.13T and strain CIP 105016T of the species C. youngae , the most closely related species. Biochemical characteristics consolidated the fact that the two isolates represent a separate species, for which the name Citrobacter pasteurii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CIP 55.13T ( = DSM 28879T = Na 1aT).

A Gram-negative, aerobic, motile and rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain T7-07T, was isolated from compost in Daejeon, Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that strain T7-07T had 99.0 % gene sequence similarity with Arenimonas malthae KACC 14618T and 94.7–95.9 % with other recognized species of the genus Arenimonas . Cells formed creamy white to yellowish colonies on R2A agar and contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone, C15 : 0 iso, C16 : 0 iso, C17 : 1 iso ω9c and C11 : 0 iso 3-OH as the major fatty acids, and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine and an unknown aminolipid as the major polar lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain T7-07T was 68.3 mol%. DNA–DNA reassociation experiments between T7-07T and Arenimonas malthae KACC 14618T resulted in a mean relatedness value of 22.2 %. Combined genotypic and phenotypic data supported the conclusion that the strain T7-07T represents a novel species, for which the name Arenimonas daejeonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is T7-07T ( = KCTC 12667T = DSM 18060T).

A novel Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped, bacterial strain (CAU 1598T) was isolated from marine sand. Strain CAU 1598T grew well at 30 °C, pH 6.5–7.0 and with 3 % NaCl (w/v). Phylogeny results based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated that the identified strain had the highest similarity (94.3%) to Pseudoxanthomonas putridarboris , indicating that strain CAU 1598T belongs to the family Xanthomonadaceae . Further, the fatty acid profile of the strain was primarily composed of C16:0, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, summed feature 3 (consisting of C16 : 1  ω7c/iso-C15 : 0 2-OH) and summed feature 9 (consisting of iso-C17 : 1  ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl), with ubiquinone-8 as the major isoprenoid quinone. The polar lipid profile included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphoglycolipid, an unidentified aminolipid and an unidentified lipid. The G+C content of the bacterial genome was 62.6 mol% and its 5.4 Mb length encompassed 144 contigs and 4236 protein-coding genes. These phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data indicate that CAU 1598T belongs to a new genus and species, for which the name Pseudomarimonas arenosa gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CAU 1598T (=KCTC 82406T=MCCC 1K05673T).

Two novel obligately anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, saccharolytic and non-proteolytic spore-forming bacilli (strains CD3 : 22T and N1T) are described. Strain CD3 : 22T was isolated from a biopsy of the small intestine of a child with coeliac disease, and strain N1T from the saliva of a healthy young man. The cells of both strains were observed to be filamentous, approximately 5 to >20 µm long, some of them curving and with swellings. The novel organisms produced H2S, NH3, butyric acid and acetic acid as major metabolic end products. Phylogenetic analyses, based on comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing, revealed close relationships (98 % sequence similarity) between the two isolates, as well as the type strain of Eubacterium saburreum and four other Lachnospiraceae bacterium-/ E. saburreum -like organisms. This group of bacteria were clearly different from any of the 19 known genera in the family Lachnospiraceae . While Eubacterium species are reported to be non-spore-forming, reanalysis of E. saburreum CCUG 28089T confirmed that the bacterium is indeed able to form spores. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, phenotypic and biochemical properties, strains CD3 : 22T and N1T represent novel species of a new and distinct genus, named Lachnoanaerobaculum gen. nov., in the family Lachnospiraceae [within the order Clostridiales , class Clostridia , phylum Firmicutes ]. Strain CD3 : 22T ( = CCUG 58757T  = DSM 23576T) is the type strain of the type species, Lachnoanaerobaculum umeaense gen. nov., sp. nov., of the proposed new genus. Strain N1T ( = CCUG 60305T = DSM 24553T) is the type strain of Lachnoanaerobaculum orale sp. nov. Moreover, Eubacterium saburreum is reclassified as Lachnoanaerobaculum saburreum comb. nov. (type strain CCUG 28089T  = ATCC 33271T  = CIP 105341T  = DSM 3986T  = JCM 11021T  = VPI 11763T).

A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, gliding, rod-shaped and carotenoid-pigmented bacterium, designated A20-9T, was isolated from a microbial consortium of polyethylene terephthalate enriched from a deep-sea sediment sample from the Western Pacific. Growth was observed at salinities of 1–8 %, at pH 6.5–8 and at temperatures of 10–40 °C. The results of phylogenetic analyses based on the genome indicated that A20-9T formed a monophyletic branch affiliated to the family Schleiferiaceae , and the 16S rRNA gene sequences exhibited the maximum sequence similarity of 93.8 % with Owenweeksia hongkongensis DSM 17368T, followed by similarities of 90.4, 90.1 and 88.8 % with Phaeocystidibacter luteus MCCC 1F01079T, Vicingus serpentipes DSM 103558T and Salibacter halophilus MCCC 1K02288T, respectively. Its complete genome size was 4 035 598 bp, the genomic DNA G+C content was 43.2 mol%. Whole genome comparisons indicated that A20-9T and O. hongkongensis DSM 17368T shared 67.8 % average nucleotide identity, 62.7 % average amino acid identity value, 46.6% of conserved proteins and 17.8 % digital DNA–DNA hybridization identity. A20-9T contained MK-7 as the major respiratory quinone. Its major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phospatidylcholine; and the major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (37.5 %), iso-C16 : 0 3-OH (12.4 %), and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c /C16 : 1ω6c, 11.6 %). Combining the genotypic and phenotypic data, A20-9T could be distinguished from the members of other genera within the family Schleiferiaceae and represents a novel genus, for which the name Croceimicrobium hydrocarbonivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is A20-9T (=MCCC 1A17358T =KCTC 72878T).

The alphaproteobacterial strains GRP21T and PH34, which were isolated from coastal sediment of the East Sea, Korea, were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic investigation. The strains were Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, oval-shaped rods that produced creamy-white colonies on tryptic soy agar, required NaCl for growth, contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone, contained 16 : 0, 18 : 1ω7c and 19 : 0 cyclo ω8c as major fatty acids and had polar lipid profiles consisting of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unknown aminolipid, an unknown phospholipid and three unknown lipids. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, showed that the strains were most closely related to Donghicola eburneus KCTC 12735T, with 94.5 % sequence similarity, but formed a separate lineage within the family Rhodobacteraceae. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data supported the conclusion that the strains represent a novel genus and species, for which the name Pontibaca methylaminivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Pontibaca methylaminivorans is GRP21T (=KCTC 22497T =DSM 21219T).

A bacterial strain designated TQQ6T was isolated from a freshwater river in Taiwan and characterized using a polyphasic taxonomy approach. Cells of strain TQQ6T were strictly aerobic, Gram-staining-negative, poly-β-hydroxybutyrate-containing, non-motile, non-spore-forming, long rods surrounded by a thick capsule and forming pale orange colonies. Growth occurred at 20–40 °C (optimum, 25 °C), at pH 7.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 8.0) and with 0–0.5 % NaCl (optimum, 0 %). The predominant fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, C16 : 1ω5c and C16 : 0. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-7 and the DNA G+C content was 42.2 mol%. The polar lipid profile consisted of a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, two uncharacterized aminophospholipids and three uncharacterized phospholipids. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain TQQ6T represents a distinct phyletic line that reflects a novel generic status within the family Cytophagaceae with relatively low sequence similarities (less than 90 %) to members of other genera with validly published names. On the basis of the genotypic and phenotypic data, strain TQQ6T represents a new genus and novel species of the family Cytophagaceae , for which the name Fluviimonas pallidilutea gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TQQ6T ( = BCRC 80447T = LMG 27056T = KCTC 32035T).

Corynebacterium propinquum is a Gram-positive rod occasionally recovered from clinical infections which, according to 16S rRNA gene sequencing, is most closely related (>99 % sequence similarity) to Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum . The two species are very similar biochemically, commonly differentiated by a single test, the detection of urease, where strains of C. propinquum are described as being urease-non-producing and strains of C. pseudodiphtheriticum are described as urease-producing. In this study, historical and contemporary strains of C. propinquum and C. pseudodiphtheriticum from this laboratory were definitively characterized, which included use of rpoB sequencing. Urease-producing strains of C. propinquum as well as typical urease-non-producing isolates were identified after rpoB sequencing, with six of these being originally identified as C. pseudodiphtheriticum . Based on these observations, we propose emendation of the description of C. propinquum to include strains which produce urease. MALDI-TOF analysis may be a useful tool to differentiate these taxa. Existing commercial databases should be updated to include urease-positive strains of C. propinquum .

A Gram-stain-negative, motile, mesophilic, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, strain 8-8T, was isolated from surface seawater at Muroto, Kochi, Japan. The strain exhibited agar-degrading activity. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain fell within the family Alteromonadaceae and clustered distantly with members of the genus Glaciecola (≤94.0 % similarity). The DNA G+C content was 41.8 mol%. The major fatty acids were C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, C16 : 0 and C18 : 1ω7c and the major hydroxy fatty acid was C12 : 0 3-OH. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified polar lipid; lysophosphatidylethanolamine and unidentified polar lipids were found as minor components. The major quinone was Q-8. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain 8-8T represents a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Agaribacter marinus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Agaribacter marinus is 8-8T ( = NBRC 110023T = LMG 28167T).
