A novel bacterial strain, YC6899T, was isolated from the root of Suaedae maritima growing on a tidal flat of Namhae Island, Korea. Cells were Gram-reaction-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, slightly halophilic and heterotrophic. Strain YC6899T grew optimally at a salinity of 2–4 %, at 25–37 °C and at pH 6.5–8.0. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that strain YC6899T was closely related to Amorphus orientalis YIM D10T (96.1 % similarity) and Amorphus coralli RS.Sph.026T (95.9 %). The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, unknown aminolipids, an unknown aminophospholipid, an unknown aminoglycolipid, unknown glycolipids and unknown lipids. The major fatty acids of strain YC6899T were C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and C18 : 1ω7c. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 61.3 mol%. Strain YC6899T contained ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) as the major respiratory quinone system. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain YC6899T represents a novel species within the genus Amorphus , for which the name Amorphus suaedae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YC6899T ( = KACC 14912T = NBRC 107845T).

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and aerobic bacterium, designated CF17T, was isolated from coastal planktonic seaweeds, East China Sea. The isolate grew at 18–37 °C (optimum 25–28 °C), pH 6.5–9.0 (optimum 7.0–8.0) and with 0–5 % NaCl (optimum 1–2 %, w/v) and 0.5–10 % sea salts (optimum 2–3 %, w/v). Growth of strain CF17T could be stimulated prominently by supplementing the growth medium with the autoclaved supernatant of a culture of strain CF5, which was isolated from the same sample along with strain CF17T. The cell morphology of strain CF17T was a bean-shaped rod consisting of a swollen end and a long prostheca. The phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain CF17T clustered with Gemmobacter nectariphilus DSM 15620T within the genus Gemmobacter . The DNA G+C content of strain CF17T was 61.4 mol%. The respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-10. The major fatty acids included C18 : 1ω7c and C18 : 0. The polar lipids of strain CF17T consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, two uncharacterized phospholipids, one uncharacterized aminolipid, three uncharacterized glycolipids and one uncharacterized lipid. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic data, strain CF17T ( = CGMCC 1.11024T = JCM 18498T) is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Gemmobacter , for which the name Gemmobacter megaterium sp. nov. is proposed.

A novel species of Fe(III)-reducing bacterium, designated strain OSK6T, belonging to the genus Geobacter , was isolated from lotus field mud in Japan. Strain OSK6T was isolated using a solid medium containing acetate, Fe(III)-nitrilotriacetate (NTA) and gellan gum. The isolate is a strictly anaerobic, Gram-negative, motile, straight rod-shaped bacterium, 0.6–1.9 µm long and 0.2–0.4 µm wide. The growth of the isolate occurred at 20–40 °C with optima of 30–37 °C and pH 6.5–7.5 in the presence of up to 0.5 g NaCl l−1. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was determined by HPLC to be 59.7 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was MK-8. The major fatty acids were 16 : 1ω7c and 16 : 0. Strain OSK6T was able to grow with Fe(III)-NTA, ferric citrate, amorphous iron (III) hydroxide and nitrate, but not with fumarate, malate or sulfate as electron acceptors. Among examined substrates grown with Fe(III)-NTA, the isolate grew on acetate, lactate, pyruvate and succinate. Analysis of the near full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain OSK6T is closely related to Geobacter daltonii and Geobacter toluenoxydans with 95.6 % similarity to the type strains of these species. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis and physiological tests, strain OSK6T is described as a representative of a novel species, Geobacter luticola sp. nov.; the type strain is OSK6T ( = DSM 24905T = JCM 17780T).

Strain M2T, isolated from marine sediment collected at Jeju Island, was an aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, motile, rod-shaped bacterium that formed circular, raised, yellow colonies. Strain M2T grew at 15–42 °C, pH 5.5–9.0 and with 1–9 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on its 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain M2T was closely related to Kineobactrum sediminis F02T (98.0 % sequence similarity). Ubiquinone-8 was determined to be the sole respiratory quinone. Summed feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω6c/C16 : 1  ω7c) and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c/C18 : 1  ω6c) were identified as the predominant fatty acids. The DNA G+C content and digital DNA–DNA relatedness between strain M2T and K. sediminis F02T were 60.7 mol% and 19.5 %, respectively. Phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine were identified as the major polar lipids. Thus, polyphasic characterization revealed that strain M2T represents a novel species in the genus Kineobactrum , for which the name Kineobactrum salinum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is M2T (=KCTC 72815T=VTCC 910108T).
