Gwangyang Bay

Two yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped, non-motile, Gram-reaction-negative and aerobic bacterial strains, designated KYW560T and KYW563T, were isolated from seawater collected from Gwangyang Bay, Republic of Korea. The isolates required sea salts for growth. Flexirubin-type pigments were absent. The common major cellular fatty acids (>5 % of total) of the two strains were C16 : 0, C18 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c). Strain KYW560T also contained iso-C15 : 0 3-OH and C20 : 1ω9c as major fatty acids. The main polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminolipid and two unidentified lipids. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-6. The DNA G+C contents of strains KYW560T and KYW563T were 41.0±0.7 and 38.3±0.4 mol% (mean±sd of three determinations), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolates belonged to the family Flavobacteriaceae , and were related to the genus Algibacter . Based on data from this taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach, it is proposed that the isolates represent novel species of the genus Algibacter , for which the names Algibacter agarivorans sp. nov. (type strain, KYW560T = KCTC 23855T = JCM 18285T) and Algibacter agarilyticus sp. nov. (type strain, KYW563T = KCTC 23857T = JCM 18275T) are proposed. Reclassification of Marinivirga aestuarii as Algibacter aestuarii comb. nov. and emended description of the genus Algibacter are also proposed.

Three novel moderately anaerobic, thermophilic, rod-shaped bacterial strains, KY38T, KY46T and KA13T, were isolated from shellfish collected on the Pacific coastline of Enoshima, Japan. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these bacteria belong to the genus Symbiobacterium , sharing sequence similarities of 97.8 % (KY38T), 96.4 % (KY46T) and 93.3 % (KA13T) with the type strain of Symbiobacterium thermophilum , the only species of the genus with a validly published name. These isolates reduced nitrate and grew optimally at 55–60 °C. Strains KY38T and KA13T formed endospore-like structures in the terminal or subterminal part of their cells at low frequencies. Genomic DNA G+C contents were 68.8 (KY38T), 67.2 (KY46T) and 67.1 (KA13T) mol%. The isolates all presented the predominant menaquinone MK-6, major fatty acids iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 and the major polar lipids phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and unknown glycol-containing phospholipids. On the basis of their morphological, physiological and phylogenetic properties, strains KY38T, KY46T and KA13T represent three novel species, for which the names Symbiobacterium ostreiconchae sp. nov. (type strain KY38T = DSM 27624T = KCTC 4567T = JCM 15048T), Symbiobacterium turbinis sp. nov. (type strain KY46T = DSM 27625T = KCTC 4568T = JCM 15996T) and Symbiobacterium terraclitae sp. nov. (type strain KA13T = DSM 27138T = KCTC 4569T = JCM 15997T) are proposed. An emended description of the genus Symbiobacterium is also presented.

Emended Description

A Gram-staining-negative, non-pigmented, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, non-motile bacterium, devoid of bacteriochlorophyll, designated strain CC-AMW-ET, was isolated from surface seawater off the coast at Kending, Taiwan. Strain CC-AMW-ET shared 95.7 and 93.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively, with the type strains of the type species of the genera Donghicola ( Donghicola eburneus SW-277T) and Roseovarius ( Roseovarius tolerans EL-172T). The predominant (>75 % of the total) fatty acid was summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω6c and/or C18 : 1ω7c). The polar lipid profile included major amounts of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and an unidentified aminolipid. In addition, moderate amounts of an unidentified lipid and trace amounts of an unidentified phospholipid were detected. The DNA G+C content was 67.9 mol%. Ubiquinone Q-10 was the sole respiratory quinone. Based on its phylogenetic distinctiveness and distinguishing phenotypic characteristics (in particular its polar lipid pattern), we conclude that strain CC-AMW-ET represents a novel genus and species of the family Rhodobacteraceae , for which the name Youngimonas vesicularis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Youngimonas vesicularis is CC-AMW-ET ( = JCM 18819T = BCRC 80549T). In addition, an emended description of the genus Donghicola Yoon et al. 2007 and the reclassification of Donghicola xiamenensis Tan et al. 2009 as Pseudodonghicola xiamenensis gen. nov., comb. nov. (type strain Y-2T = MCCC 1A00107T = LMG 24574T = CGMCC 1.7081T) are proposed.

A novel Gram-reaction-negative, yellow-pigmented, aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium designated strain CC-YHH031T was isolated from an agricultural soil collected at Chiayi County, Taiwan. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain CC-YHH031T formed a discrete monophyletic lineage in the family Xanthomonadaceae , sharing high pairwise sequence similarity of 93.5–95.2 and 94.8 % with species of the genus Dokdonella (94.9 % similarity to the type strain of the type species) and Aquimonas voraii GPTSA 20T, respectively. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain CC-YHH031T was 68.6±0.7 mol% and the predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-8. Spermidine was the principal polyamine, with minor amounts of putrescine. Major fatty acids (>5 % of total fatty acids) were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c (summed feature 3), iso-C17 : 1ω9c, iso-C14 : 0, iso-C11 : 0 and iso-C11 : 0 3-OH. The polar lipid profile of strain CC-YHH031T included phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified aminophospholipids (APL1–2) and four unidentified phospholipids (PL1–4). Strain CC-YHH031T was distinguished particularly from the type species of the genus Dokdonella ( Dokdonella koreensis ) by the presence of major amounts of iso-C14 : 0 and summed feature 3 and minor amounts of iso-C17 : 0 and by the complete absence of anteiso-C17 : 0, the presence of PL1–3 and APL1–2, the absence of APL3 and the presence of putrescine in the former. On the basis of distinguishing genotypic and phenotypic evidence, strain CC-YHH031T is proposed to represent a novel genus and species within the family Xanthomonadaceae , for which the name Chiayiivirga flava gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Chiayiivirga flava is CC-YHH031T ( = BCRC 80273T = DSM 24163T).

The first alkaliphilic obligately anaerobic hydrogenotrophic homoacetogenic bacterium, strain Z-7100T, was isolated from sediments of the soda-depositing soda lake Tanatar III (Altay, Russia). Cells were thin, flexible rods, motile, Gram-negative and spore-forming. The organism was an obligate alkaliphile, growing at pH 8.5 to 10.5, with optimum growth at pH 8.8–9.3, and it grew in soda brines containing 1.9–4.7 M total Na+ (optimum at 2.8–3.3 M). It exhibited an obligate dependence upon sodium carbonate but not upon chloride ions with an NaCl range for growth of 0–14 % (w/v) and an optimum at 7.0–8.5 % (w/v). The isolate was mesophilic and grew at temperatures from 25 to 45 °C, with an optimum at 40 °C. An H2+CO2 mixture, ethanol, pyruvate and lactate were utilized with the formation of acetate as the sole metabolic product. Carbohydrates and amino acids did not support growth. The isolate had a respiratory type of metabolism, reducing NO 3 – , SeO4 2− or anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (as electron acceptors with ethanol as an electron donor). It was able to grow chemolithotrophically on H2+CO2 in medium supplemented with a vitamin solution only. The major cellular fatty acids were the saturated fatty acids anteiso-C15, C14 : 0 and C16 : 0 and the aldehydes C16, C14 and anteiso-C15. The DNA G+C content of the isolate was 32.0 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain Z-7100T is a member of the order Halanaerobiales and represents a new branch within the family Halobacteroidaceae , clustering with the type strain of Selenihalanaerobacter shriftii (92.9 % gene sequence similarity). On the basis of its physiological characteristics and phylogenetic position, the isolate is considered to represent a novel species in a new genus within the family Halobacteroidaceae . The name Fuchsiella alkaliacetigena gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is Z-7100T ( = DSM 24880T = VKM B-2667T).

Aquaculture Water

Two novel bacterial strains, designated as DN00404T and DN04309T, were isolated from aquaculture water and characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Cells of strains DN00404T and DN04309T were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, oxidase-positive and catalase-positive. Cells of DN00404T were short rod-shaped and those of DN04309T were long rod-shaped. Strain DN00404T was found to grow at 15–37 °C (optimum, 25–30 °C), at pH 6.0–11.0 (optimum, pH 7.5) and in 0–2.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1.0 %). Strain DN04309T was found to grow at 15–45 °C (optimum, 20–37 °C), at pH 5.5–11.0 (optimum, 7.5) and in 0–4.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0.5 %). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences revealed that the two strains belonged to the genus Sphingobacterium and were distinct from all known species of this genus. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between the two strains and between each of the two strains and related type strains of this genus were well below the recognized thresholds of 95.0–96.0 % ANI and 70.0 % dDDH for species delineation. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains DN00404T and DN04309T were 41.6 and 36.0 mol%, respectively. The respiratory quinone in both strains was identified as MK-7, and their major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω6c and/or C16 : 1  ω7c), which were similar to those of other species of this genus. The two major fatty acids C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH were also found in strain DN00404T. Based on genotypic and phenotypic characteristics, two novel species of the genus Sphingobacterium are proposed: Sphingobacterium micropteri sp. nov. with DN00404T (=GDMCC 1.1865T=KACC 21924T) as the type strain and Sphingobacterium litopenaei sp. nov. with DN04309T (=GDMCC 1.1984T=KCTC 82348T) as the type strain.

Copper Mines

In the course of screening the surface soils of ancient copper mines and smelters (East Harz, Germany) an aerobic, non-motile and halotolerant actinobacterium forming small rods or cocci was isolated. The strain designated F300T developed creamy to yellow colonies on tryptone soy agar and grew optimally at 28 °C, pH 7–8 and with 0.5–2 % (m/v) NaCl. Its peptidoglycan was of type A4α l-Lys–l-Glu (A11.54). The menaquinone profile was dominated by MK-8(II, III-H4) and contained minor amounts of MK-8(H2), MK-8(H6) and MK-9(H4). The polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, mono and diacylated phosphatidylinositol dimannosides, and components that were not fully characterized, including two phospholipids, two glycolipids and an uncharacterized lipid. Major whole-cell sugars were rhamnose and ribose. The fatty acid profile contained mainly iso and anteiso branched fatty acids (anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C14 : 0) and aldehydes/dimethylacetals (i.e. not fatty acids). Sequence analysis of its genomic DNA and subsequent analysis of the data placed the isolate in the group currently defined by members of the genera Ruania and Haloactinobacterium (family Ruaniaceae , order Micrococcales ) as a sister taxon to the previously described species Haloactinobacterium glacieicola , sharing an average nucleotide identity and average amino acid identity values of 85.3 and 85.7 %, respectively. Genotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses support the view that strain F300T (=DSM 108350T=CIP 111667T) is the type strain of a new genus and new species for which the name Occultella aeris gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. Based on revised chemotaxonomic and additional genome based data, it is necessary to discuss and evaluate the results in the light of the classification and nomenclature of members of the family Ruaniaceae , i.e. the genera Haloactinobacterium and Ruania . Consequently, the reclassification of Haloactinobacterium glacieicola as Occultella glacieicola comb. nov. and Haloactinobacterium album as Ruania alba comb. nov., with an emended description of the genus Ruania are proposed.

An orange, rod-shaped, Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic and gliding bacterial strain devoid of flagella, designated strain KYW614T, was isolated from seawater collected from Gwangyang Bay, Republic of Korea. Zeaxanthin was the major carotenoid pigment produced and flexirubin-type pigments were not produced. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain KYW614T belonged to the family Flavobacteriaceae and it was most closely related to Mesoflavibacter zeaxanthinifaciens TD-ZX30T (96.5 %, sequence similarity). The predominant cellular fatty acids of strain KYW614T were iso-C15 : 1 G (10.5 %), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c; 10.0 %), iso-C15 : 0 (9.5 %), C15 : 0 (7.5 %) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (7.4 %). MK-6 was the only isoprenoid quinone and the DNA G+C content was 32.6 mol%. Data from a polyphasic taxonomic study suggested that the isolate represents a novel species in the genus Mesoflavibacter , for which the name Mesoflavibacter aestuarii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KYW614T ( = KCTC 32269T = JCM 19524T).
