A Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, non-flagellated, non-gliding and ring-like or horseshoe-shaped bacterial strain, designated HD-17T, was isolated from a tidal flat sediment in the Korean peninsula. Strain HD-17T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0, at 25 °C and in the presence of 2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain HD-17T fell within the clade comprising species of the genus Cyclobacterium . Strain HD-17T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 93.8–98.8 % to the type strains of species of the genus Cyclobacterium . Strain HD-17T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c), anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 1 G as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids of strain HD-17T were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain HD-17T was 43.8 mol% and its DNA–DNA relatedness values with Cyclobacterium amurskyense KCTC 12363T, Cyclobacterium qasimii KCTC 23011T and Cyclobacterium marinum KCTC 2917T were 10.4, 7.6 and 5.3 %, respectively. The phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness and several differentiating phenotypic properties revealed that strain HD-17T was separate from other species of the genus Cyclobacterium . On the basis of the data presented, strain HD-17T represents a novel species of the genus Cyclobacterium , for which the name Cyclobacterium caenipelagi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HD-17T ( = KCTC 32178T = CCUG 63247T). An emended description of the genus Cyclobacterium is also provided.

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.

The novel strain exhibited highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (97.4 %) to Marivita geojedonensis DPG-138T. Neighbour-joining, maximum-likelihood and maximum-parsimony phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain BS-B2T is closely related to Primorskyibacter sedentarius KMM 9018T, showing 96.5 % sequence similarity. Strain BS-B2T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1ω7c as the predominant fatty acid. The polar lipid profile of strain BS-B2T comprised phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified aminolipid and one unidentified lipid as major components, and differentiated it from the type strains of P. sedentarius and M. geojedonensis . The DNA G+C content of strain BS-B2T was 62.2 mol%. Differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic data, demonstrated that strain BS-B2T can be distinguished from phylogenetically related genera as well as P. sedentarius and M. geojedonensis . On the basis of the data presented, strain BS-B2T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Aestuariivita boseongensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated CAU 1002T, was isolated from a tidal flat sediment and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Strain CAU 1002T grew optimally at 30 °C and pH 7.5. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain CAU 1002T formed a distinct lineage within the genus Algoriphagus and was most closely related to Algoriphagus lutimaris KCTC 22630T and Algoriphagus halophilus KCTC 12051T (97.75 and 97.74 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). The strain contained MK-7 as the major isoprenoid quinone and iso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH (summed feature 3) as the major fatty acids. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strain CAU 1002T contained meso-diaminopimelic acids. The major whole-cell sugars were glucose, arabinose, sucrose, and ribose. The polar lipid profile was composed of phosphatidylethanolamine, five unidentified aminolipids, one unidentified aminophospholipid, one unidentified phospholipid, one unidentified aminoglycolipid, one unidentified glycolipid and twelve unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain CAU 1002T was 38.0 mol%. On the basis of phylogenetic inference, phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic data, strain CAU 1002T should be classified into the genus Algoriphagus as a member of a novel species, for which the name Algoriphagus chungangensis sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-staining-negative, motile by flagella, non-pigmented, poly-β-hydroxybutyrate-producing, strictly aerobic and sphere-shaped bacterium, IMCC3490T, was isolated from a coastal seawater sample from the Antarctic Peninsula. Optimal growth of strain IMCC3490T was observed at 20 °C, pH 8.0 and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain IMCC3490T belonged to the genus Granulosicoccus in the family Granulosicoccaceae . The strain was closely related to Granulosicoccus antarcticus IMCC3135T (98.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Granulosicoccus coccoides Z 271T (98.5 %). The DNA–DNA relatedness values between IMCC3490T and type strains of the two species of the genus were far lower than 70 %, which indicated strain IMCC3490T is a novel genomic species of the genus Granulosicoccus . The major fatty acids of strain IMCC3490T were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c) and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c). The isoprenoid quinone detected was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8) and predominant polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The DNA G+C content was 61.0 mol%. On the basis of phylogenetic analyses, DNA–DNA relatedness values and phenotypic data, it is suggested that strain IMCC3490T represents a novel species of the genus Granulosicoccus , for which the name Granulosicoccus marinus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IMCC3490T ( = KACC 17483T = NBRC 109704T). An emended description of the genus Granulosicoccus is also provided.

The strain formed small light-yellow, smooth, and circular colonies on marine agar. Cells were weakly halophilic, motile rods showing catalase- and oxidase-positive reactions. Growth of strain 101-1T was observed at 15–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 5.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 6.5–7.0) and 1.0–9.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2.0–3.5 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 53.3 mol%. Strain 101-1T contained ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) as the respiratory quinone and iso-C17 : 1ω9c, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 as major fatty acids.
