The 16S Rrna Gene

A Gram-stain negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, non-spore-forming and aerobic bacterial strain, designated HL-25T, was isolated and characterized in a taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the isolate constituted a distinct branch within the genus Sphingobium , showing the highest level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Sphingobium vulgare HU1-GD12T (96.6 %). The major fatty acids (>10 %) of strain HL-25T were C18 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0, summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) and C18 : 0. The major cellular hydroxy fatty acid was C14 : 0 2-OH. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-10 and the DNA G+C content was 63.8 mol%. The polar lipid profile consisted of a mixture of sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, an uncharacterized glycolipid, an uncharacterized aminophospholipid and four uncharacterized phospholipids. The polyamine pattern of strain HL-25T contained spermidine and putrescine. On the basis of these genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, strain HL-25T represents a novel species in the genus Sphingobium , for which the name Sphingobium sufflavum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HL-25T ( = BCRC 80413T = KCTC 23953T).

A novel Gram-stain-positive bacterium, designated strain YIM M11385T, was isolated from a marine sediment sample collected from the South Bay, Little Andaman Island, India with a salinity of 35 p.p.m., pH 8.5. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain YIM M11385T belongs to the genus Marininema , supported by a bootstrap value of 100 %. The taxonomic position of this organism was further established by using a polyphasic approach. Strain YIM M11385T grew optimally at 28 °C, pH 7.0 and in the presence of 0–5 % (w/v) NaCl. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain YIM M11385T and Marininema mesophilum SCSIO 10219T was 98.3 %. Strain YIM M11385T exhibited a quinone system with only MK-7, the polar lipid profile included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine as major components, and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain YIM M11385T and M. mesophilum SCSIO 10219T was 59.36 %. On the basis of genotypic and phenotypic data, it is apparent that strain YIM M11385T represents a novel species of the genus Marininema , for which the name Marininema halotolerans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM M11385T ( = CCTCC AB 2012052T = DSM 45789T). In addition, we propose that the description of the genus Marininema should be further emended based on the results of the present study.

A facultatively anaerobic, chitinolytic bacterium, strain KL-9T, was isolated from a freshwater lake in Taiwan and characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Cells of strain KL-9T were Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile by means of a single polar flagellum and non-spore-forming. Growth occurred at 15–40 °C (optimum, 30–37 °C), at pH 7.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 8.0) and with 0–1.0 % NaCl (optimum, 0 %). The predominant fatty acids were summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) and C16 : 0. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. The DNA G+C content of strain KL-9T was 64.6 mol%. The polar lipid profile consisted of a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine and several uncharacterized phospholipids and aminolipids. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain KL-9T formed a distinct lineage with respect to closely related genera within the class Betaproteobacteria , being most closely related to members of the genera Leeia , Chitinimonas , Silvimonas and Andreprevotia . Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with respect to the type strains of type species of these genera were below 91 %. On the basis of genotypic and phenotypic data, strain KL-9T is thus considered to represent a novel species of a new genus within the class Betaproteobacteria , for which the name Chitinivorax tropicus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Chitinivorax tropicus is KL-9T ( = BCRC 80168T = LMG 25530T).

The 16S Rrna Gene

Strain S658T was isolated from a Lotus corniculatus nodule in a soil sample obtained in Uruguay. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene and atpD gene showed that this strain clustered within the genus Phyllobacterium . The closest related species was, in both cases, Phyllobacterium trifolii PETP02T with 99.8 % sequence similarity in the 16S rRNA gene and 96.1 % in the atpD gene. The 16S rRNA gene contains an insert at the beginning of the sequence that has no similarities with other inserts present in the same gene in described rhizobial species. Ubiquinone Q-10 was the only quinone detected. Strain S658T differed from its closest relatives through its growth in diverse culture conditions and in the assimilation of several carbon sources. It was not able to reproduce nodules in Lotus corniculatus. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization, phenotypic tests and fatty acid analyses confirmed that this strain should be classified as a representative of a novel species of the genus Phyllobacterium , for which the name Phyllobacterium loti sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S658T( = LMG 27289T = CECT 8230T).

The 16S Rrna Gene

Deinococcus species are widely studied due to their utility in bioremediation of sites contaminated with radioactive elements. In the present study, we re-evaluated the taxonomic placement of two species of the genus Deinococcus namely D. swuensis DY59T and D. radiopugnans ATCC 19172T based on whole genome analyses. The 16S rRNA gene analysis revealed a 99.58% sequence similarity between this species pair that is above the recommended threshold value for species delineation. These two species also clustered together in both the 16S rRNA gene and core genome based phylogenies depicting their close relatedness. Furthermore, more than 98% of genes were shared between D. swuensi s DY59T and D. radiopugnans ATCC 19172T. Interestingly, D. swuensis DY59T and D. radiopugnans ATCC 19172T shared high genome similarity in different genomic indices. They displayed an average nucleotide identity value of 97.63%, an average amino acid identity value of 97% and a digital DNA–DNA hybridization value equal to 79.50%, all of which are well above the cut-off for species delineation. Altogether, based on these evidences, D. swuensis DY59T and D. radiopugnans ATCC 19172T constitute a single species. Hence, as per the priority of publication, we propose that Deinococcus swuensis Lee et al. 2015 should be reclassified as a later heterotypic synonym of Deinococcus radiopugnans .

A Gram-stain-negative, short-rod-shaped bacterium, designated 22DY03T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from the East Pacific Rise. The isolate required NaCl and grew best with 3–7 % (w/v) sea salts at temperature of between 30 and 35 °C at pH 7.0. It formed non-pigmented colonies and produced exopolysaccharide, but did not produce bacteriochlorophyll a. Strain 22DY03T was positive for hydrolysis of aesculin and Tween 20 and negative for hydrolysis of casein, DNA, gelatin, starch and Tween 40, 60 and 80. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. The polar lipid profile consisted of a mixture of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, diphosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified phospholipids and four unidentified polar lipids. The major fatty acids were C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c, C18 : 1ω7c and 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c. The genomic DNA G+C content was 64.6 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain 22DY03T should be assigned to the genus Roseivivax . The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between the isolate and the type strains of species of the genus Roseivivax were in the range of 94.1–95.8 %. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data, it is concluded that strain 22DY03T represents a novel species of the genus Roseivivax , for which the name Roseivivax pacificus sp. nov. (type strain 22DY03T = CGMCC 1.12410T = JCM 18866T) is proposed.
