A novel high DNA G+C content bacterium, designated strain D7-27T, was isolated from clay soils collected inside a natural cave in Jeju, Republic of Korea. The cells of the organism were aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile rods; its colonies were white, circular and entire in margin. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison showed that strain D7-27T formed a coherent cluster with Humibacter albus of the family Microbacteriaceae (97.6 % sequence similarity). The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained ornithine and 2,4-diaminobutyric acid as the diagnostic diamino acids. The major menaquinones were MK-12 and MK-11, with MK-10 as a minor component. The polar lipids consisted mainly of phosphatidylglycerol and an unknown glycolipid. Mycolic acids were not present. The predominant fatty acids were anteiso-C17 : 0 and cyclohexyl-C17 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 66.3 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain D7-27T and H. albus DSM 18994T was 28.6 % (17.6 % in a reciprocal test). On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and DNA–DNA hybridization data, strain D7-27T ( = KCTC 33009T = DSM 25738T) is considered as the type strain of a novel species of the genus Humibacter , for which the name Humibacter antri sp. nov. is proposed. An emended description of the genus Humibacter is also provided.

A bacterial strain designated antisso-13T was isolated from a salt pan in southern Taiwan and characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain antisso-13T was Gram-negative, aerobic, creamy white in colour, rod-shaped and motile by single monopolar flagellum. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain antisso-13T belonged to the genus Neptuniibacter and its closest neighbour was Neptuniibacter caesariensis MED92T, with 96.7 % sequence similarity. Phylogenetic analyses based on rpoB and recA gene sequences and deduced amino acid sequences also revealed that the novel strain and N. caesariensis MED92T formed a distinct phylogenetic cluster. Strain antisso-13T exhibited optimal growth at 25–30 °C, with 2.0–4.0 % NaCl and at pH 7.0. Cellular fatty acids were C16 : 1ω7c (39.8 %), C18 : 1ω7c (29.4 %), C16 : 0 (15.5 %), C10 : 0 3-OH (7.5 %), anteiso-C11 : 0 (1.8 %), C18 : 0 (1.8 %), C11 : 0 2-OH (1.6 %), iso-C10 : 0 (1.2 %) and C14 : 0 (1.1 %). The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-8. The polar lipid profile consisted of a mixture of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and several uncharacterized polar lipids and the DNA G+C content was 54.2 mol%. The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed clear phenotypic differentiation of this isolate from previously described members of the genus Neptuniibacter . It is evident from the genotypic and phenotypic data that strain antisso-13T should be classified as a representative of a novel species in the genus Neptuniibacter . The name proposed for this taxon is Neptuniibacter halophilus sp. nov.; the type strain is antisso-13T ( = LMG 25378T = BCRC 80079T). An emended description of the genus Neptuniibacter is provided.

A Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, gliding, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated WT-MY15T, was isolated from wood falls in the South Sea in Korea and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain WT-MY15T 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 showed that strain WT-MY15T clustered with the type strains of two Olleya species, exhibiting 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 97.7–98.1 %. Strain WT-MY15T contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone. The fatty acid and polar lipid profiles of strain WT-MY15T were similar to those of Olleya aquimaris L-4T and Olleya marilimosa CIP 108537T. The DNA G+C content of strain WT-MY15T was 42.8 mol% and its mean DNA–DNA relatedness values with O. aquimaris L-4T and O. marilimosa CIP 108537T were 8.3 and 5.6 %, respectively. The phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness and differential phenotypic properties revealed that strain WT-MY15T is separate from the two recognized species of the genus Olleya . On the basis of the data presented, strain WT-MY15T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Olleya , for which the name Olleya namhaensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WT-MY15T ( = KCTC 23673T = CCUG 61507T). An emended description of the genus Olleya is also presented.
