A reddish-orange-pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, facultatively methylotrophic strain, N4211T, isolated from arid soil, collected from Abuja, Nigeria, was analysed by using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, showed that strain N4211T belonged to the genus Methylobacterium . Strain N4211T was most closely related to Methylobacterium aquaticum GR16T (98.56 %), Methylobacterium platani PMB02T (97.95 %) and Methylobacterium variabile GR3T (97.2 %), and the phylogenetic similarities to all other species of the genus Methylobacterium with validly published names were less than 97.0 %. The major ubiquinones detected were Q-10. The major fatty acids were summed feature 7 (C18 : 1 cis11/t9/t6). The DNA G+C content was 67.3 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness of strain N4211T and the most closely related strains M. aquaticum DSM 16371T and M. platani KCTC 12901T were 60.0 and 48.2 %, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and DNA–DNA hybridization data, strain N4211T is assigned to a novel species of the genus Methylobacterium for which the name Methylobacterium tarhaniae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is N4211T( = KCTC 23615T = DSM 25844T).

A Gram-stain-positive, short rod-shaped and motile, mildly halotolerant, endospore-forming bacterium, FJAT-13985T, was isolated from the internal tissues of Mesona chinensis root. Strain FJAT-13985T grew at 20–45 °C (optimum 30 °C) and pH 5.7–9.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and in the presence of 0–2 % (w/v) NaCl [optimum 1 % (w/v)]. The strain was catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. The cell wall of strain FJAT-13985T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and the predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7 (97.4 %). The major fatty acids of the strain were anteiso-C15 : 0 (23.3 %) and iso-C15 : 0 (40.8 %). The DNA G+C content was 41.64 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain FJAT-13985T is a member of the genus Bacillus and is most closely related to Bacillus drentensis DSM 15600T (98.4 %), Bacillus vireti DSM 15602T (98.2 %) and Bacillus novalis DSM 15603T (98.3 %). DNA–DNA hybridization indicated that relatedness between strain FJAT-13985T and its closest relative, B. drentensis DSM 15600T, was 36.63 %. The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic properties clearly indicate that strain FJAT-13985T represents a novel species of the genus Bacillus , for which the name Bacillus mesonae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FJAT-13985T ( = DSM 25968T = CGMCC1.12238T).

Two Gram-stain-positive strains, c9Ua_26_MT and c11Ua_112_MT, were isolated from voided urine samples from two healthy women. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that these novel strains were members of the genus Limosilactobacillus . Phylogenetic analysis based on pheS gene sequences and core genomes showed that each strain formed a separated branch and are closest to Limosilactobacillus vaginalis DSM 5837T. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and Genome-to-Genome Distance Calculator (GGDC) values between c9Ua_26_MT and the closest relative DSM 5837T were 90.7 and 42.9 %, respectively. The ANI and GGDC values between c11Ua_112_MT and the closest relative DSM 5837T were 91.2 and 45.0 %, and those among the strains were 92.9% and 51,0 %, respectively. The major fatty acids were C12 : 0 (40.2 %), C16 : 0 (26.7 %) and C18 : 1 ω9c (17.7 %) for strain c9Ua_26_MT, and C18 : 1 ω9c (38.0 %), C16 : 0 (33.3 %) and C12 : 0 (17.6 %) for strain c11Ua_112_MT. The genomic DNA G+C content of strains c9Ua_26_MT and c11Ua_112_MT was 39.9 and 39.7 mol%, respectively. On the basis of the data presented here, strains c9Ua_26_MT and c11Ua_112_MT represent two novel species of the genus Limosilactobacillus , for which the names Limosilactobacillus urinaemulieris sp. nov. (c9Ua_26_MT=CECT 30144T=LMG 31899T) and Limosilactobacillus portuensis sp. nov. (c11Ua_112_MT=CECT 30145T=LMG 31898T) are proposed.

Two Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, pink and light pink colony-forming bacteria, designated as Hz2T and MDT2-14T, respectively, were isolated from glacier cryoconite samples. Comparisons based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains Hz2T and MDT2-14T take Arthrobacter bussei KR32T and Arthrobacter zhaoguopingii J391T as their closest neighbours, respectively. The average nucleotide identity values between the two novel strains and their closest relatives were 83.56 and 93.06 %, respectively. The two strains contain MK-9(H2) as their predominant menaquinone. The polar lipids of both strains were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and an unidentified glycolipid. The major fatty acids of strain Hz2T were anteiso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c) and iso-C15 : 0, while the major fatty acids of strain MDT2-14T were anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. Based on these data, we propose two novel species, Arthrobacter cheniae sp. nov. (Hz2T = CGMCC 1.9262T=NBRC 113086T) and Arthrobacter frigidicola sp. nov. (MDT2-14T=CGMCC 1.9882T=NBRC 113089T).

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 non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain 02SUJ3T, was isolated from freshwater collected from the Juam Reservoir (Republic of Korea). Cells were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The strain contained MK-7 as the major isoprenoid quinone. The main polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. The DNA G+C content was 46.4 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain 02SUJ3T forms an independent lineage within the genus Flavisolibacter with low sequence similarity to Flavisolibacter ginsengiterrae Gsoil 492T and Flavisolibacter ginsengisoli Gsoil 643T (95.7 %). Phenotypic characteristics distinguished strain 02SUJ3T from members of the genus Flavisolibacter . On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, strain 02SUJ3T is considered to represent a novel species, for which the name Flavisolibacter rigui sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 02SUJ3T ( = JCM 17515T = KCTC 23328T). An emended description of the genus Flavisolibacter is also provided.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain KIS83-12T, was isolated from soil of Gaui island in the Taean region of South Korea. The strain grew at 15–33 °C (optimum, 28 °C), at pH 5.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0). Growth did not occur in the presence of NaCl. The strain was catalase-negative and oxidase-positive. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that KIS83-12T was most closely related to Solimonas soli DCY12T (96.9 %), Solimonas variicoloris MN28T (96.5 %), Solimonas flava CW-KD 4T (96.5 %) and Solimonas aquatica NAA16T (96.0 %), and formed a robust phyletic lineage with members of the genus Solimonas . The main isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. Major polar lipids included phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. Fatty acids present in large and moderate amounts (>5.0 %) were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c), C16 : 0, C16 : 1ω5c, summed feature 2 (iso-C16 : 1 I and/or C14 : 0 3-OH) and C12 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 67.9 mol%. On the basis of the taxonomic data obtained in this study, KIS83-12T represents a novel species of the genus Solimonas , for which the name Solimonas terrae sp. nov. is proposed, with KIS83-12T ( = KACC 16967T = DSM 27281T) as the type strain.

Two endophytic strains, coded MOVP5T and MOPV6, were isolated from nodules of Phaseolus vulgaris plants grown on agricultural soil in Southeastern Spain, and were characterized through a polyphasic taxonomy approach. Their 16S rRNA gene sequences showed 99.3 and 99.4 %, 98.9 and 99.6 %, and 99.0 and 98.7% similarity to ‘ A. deltaense ’ YIC 4121T, A. radiobacter LGM 140T, and A. pusense NRCPB10T, respectively. Multilocus sequence analysis based on sequences of recA and atpD genes suggested that these two strains could represent a new Agrobacterium species with less than 96.5 % similarity to their closest relatives. PCR amplification of the telA gene, involved in synthesis of protelomerase, confirmed the affiliation of strains MOPV5T and MOPV6 to the genus Agrobacterium . Whole genome average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization average values were less than 95.1 and 66.7 %, respectively, with respect to its closest related species. Major fatty acids in strain MOPV5T were C18 : 1 ω7c/C18 : 1 ω6c in summed feature 8, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c, C16 : 0 and C16 : 0 3-OH. Colonies were small to medium, pearl-white coloured on YMA at 28 °C and growth was observed at 10–42 °C, pH 5.0–10.0 and with 0.0–0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. The DNA G+C content was 59.9 mol%. These two strains differ from all other genomovars of Agrobacterium found so far, including those that have not yet given a Latin name. The combined genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data support the classification of strain MOPV5T as representing a novel species of Agrobacterium , for which the name Agrobacterium leguminum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MOPV5T (=CECT 30096T=LMG 31779T).

A Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped bacterial strain, CH15-1T, was isolated from a sediment sample taken from Daechung Reservoir, South Korea, during the late-blooming period of cyanobacteria. Strain CH15-1T grew optimally at pH 7.0 and 30 °C. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences confirmed that strain CH15-1T belongs to the genus Arenimonas with the similarity range from 92.6–97.4 % and is closely related to Arenimonas oryziterrae YC6267T (97.4 %), Arenimonas composti TR7-09T (95.4 %), Arenimonas metalli CF5-1T (94.7 %), Arenimonas malthae CC-JY-1T (94.6 %) and Arenimonas donghaensis HO3-R19T (92.6 %). However, the DNA–DNA hybridization between strain CH15-1T and the closest strain, Arenimonas oryziterrae YC6267T, was 8.9–12.9 %. The DNA G+C content was 63.9 mol% compared to A. oryziterrae YC626T, 65.8 mol%. Strain CH15-1T included Q-8 as the major ubiquinone and phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine as the major polar lipids. The major fatty acids (>5 %) were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C14 : 0, iso-C11 : 0 3-OH, iso-C17 : 0 and summed feature 9 (iso-C17 : 1ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl). On the basis of phylogenetic, phenotypic and genetic data, strain CH15-1T was classified in the genus Arenimonas as a member of a novel species, for which the name Arenimonas daechungensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CH15-1T ( = KCTC 23553T = DSM 24763T).

A bacterial strain, designated FSY-8T, was isolated from a freshwater mesocosm in Taiwan and characterized using the polyphasic taxonomy approach. Cells of strain FSY-8T were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile and formed yellow coloured colonies on Reasoner's 2A agar. Growth occurred at 20–40 °C (optimum, 30–37 °C) and pH 5–7 (optimum, pH 6) and in the presence of 0–0.5 % NaCl (optimum, 0 %, w/v). The major fatty acids (>10 %) of strain FSY-8T were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c and/or C18 : 1  ω6c) and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c). The polar lipid profile consisted of a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, sphingoglycolipid, diphosphatidylglycerol, an uncharacterized aminophospholipid, an uncharacterized glycolipid and an uncharacterized lipid. The major polyamine was spermidine. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-10. The DNA G+C content was 64.8 mol %. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and coding sequences of 92 protein clusters indicated that strain FSY-8T formed a phylogenetic lineage in the genus Novosphingobium . Strain FSY-8T showed 71.6–77.2 % average nucleotide identity and 19.9–22.8 % digital DNA–DNA hybridization identity with the strains of other Novosphingobium species. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic properties and phylogenetic inference, strain FSY-8T should be classified in a novel species of the genus Novosphingobium , for which the name Novosphingobium ovatum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FSY-8T (=BCRC 81051T=LMG 30053T=KCTC 52812T).
