A novel bacterial strain, designated P4T, was isolated from Permian groundwater and identified on the basis of its phylogenetic, genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characteristics. Cells were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative rods. 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic analysis revealed that P4T is affiliated with the family Flammeovirgaceae in the phylum Bacteroidetes , but forms a distinct cluster within this family. The DNA G+C content of strain P4T was 45.2 mol%. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C16 : 1ω6c/C16 : 1ω7c and iso-C15 : 0. MK-7 was the main respiratory quinone. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, unidentified phospholipids, an unidentified aminolipid, unidentified glycolipids and unidentified polar lipids. Based on our extensive polyphasic analysis, a novel species in a new genus, Imperialibacter roseus gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain of Imperialibacter roseus is P4T ( = CICC 10659T = KCTC 32399T).

A novel bacterial strain, capable of aggregating potential biofuel-producing microalgae, was isolated from the phycosphere of an algal culture and designated HW001T. The novel bacterial strain was identified on the basis of its phylogenetic, genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characteristics in this study. Cells were aerobic, Gram-negative rods. 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analysis revealed that strain HW001T is affiliated with the family Pseudomonadaceae in the phylum Proteobacteria , but forms a distinct clade within this family. The DNA G+C content of strain HW001T was 55.4 mol%. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 9 (iso-C17 : 1ω9c), C16 : 0 and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c). Q-8 was the main respiratory quinone. The polar lipid profile contained phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminophospholipid and some unidentified lipids. Based on the extensive polyphasic analysis, strain HW001T represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Pseudomonadaceae , for which the name Permianibacter aggregans gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain of the type species is HW001T ( = CICC 10856T = KCTC 32485T).

A strictly anaerobic, mesophilic, iron-reducing bacterial strain, IRF19T, was isolated from coal-contaminated soil in the Republic of Korea. IRF19T cells were straight, rod-shaped, Gram-staining-negative and motile by means of flagella. The optimum pH and temperature for their growth were determined to be pH 7.5–8.0 and 40 °C, while the optimum range was pH 6.5–10.0 and 20–45 °C, respectively. Strain IRF19T did not require NaCl for growth but it tolerated up to 2 % (w/v). Growth was observed with yeast extract, d-glucose, d-fructose, d-ribose, d-mannitol, d-mannose, l-serine, l-alanine and l-isoleucine. Fe(III), elemental sulfur, thiosulfate and sulfate were used as electron acceptors. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain IRF19T is affiliated to the family Clostridiaceae and is most closely related to Salimesophilobacter vulgaris Zn2T (93.5 % similarity), Geosporobacter subterraneus VNs68T (93.2 %) and Thermotalea metallivorans B2-1T (92.3 %). The major cellular fatty acids of strain IRF19T were C14 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 0, and the profile was distinct from those of the closely related species. The major respiratory quinone of strain IRF19T was menaquinone MK-5 (V-H2). The main polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unknown phospholipid and two unknown polar lipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain IRF19T was determined to be 37.4 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic results, strain IRF19T is considered to represent a novel species of a novel genus of the family Clostridiaceae , for which we propose the name Anaerosolibacter carboniphilus gen. nov., sp. nov., with the type strain IRF19T ( = KCTC 15396T = JCM 19988T).

A non-motile, Gram-staining negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, crescent-rod shaped bacterium, designated strain CUG 91308T, was isolated from a sediment sample of Qinghai Lake, Qinghai Province, China. Colonies on OSM agar were round, smooth, flat and pinkish-orange in colour. Strain CUG 91308T could grow at 15–37 °C, pH 6–12 and in the presence of up to 7.0 % NaCl (w/v). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain CUG 91308T belonged to the family Cyclobacteriaceae and formed a clade with the genus Lunatimonas in the phylogenetic tree, but separated from any species of the known genera within the family. The genomic DNA G+C content is about 42.1 %. The predominant fatty acids (>10 %) were iso-C15 : 0 (21.1 %), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω7c / C16 : 1  ω6c / iso-C15 : 0 2OH) (14.3 %), iso-C17 : 0 3OH (12.3 %) and summed feature 9 (iso-C17 : 1  ω9c / C16 : 0 10-methyl) (10.6 %). The polar lipids of strain CUG 91308T were phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and four unidentified polar lipids. Strain CUG 91308T contained MK-7 as the major respiratory quinone. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic data, strain CUG 91308T represents a novel species of a novel genus in the family Cyclobacteriaceae , for which the name Lunatibacter salilacus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the proposed new isolate is CUG 91308T (=KCTC 62636T=CGMCC 1.13593T).

A Gram-negative bacterium, designated DCY13T, was isolated from soil of a ginseng field in South Korea. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DCY13T shared the highest sequence similarity (95.0 %) with Sediminibacterium salmoneum NBRC 103935T and 87.6–91.4 % sequence similarity with other members of the family Chitinophagaceae . Cells were non-spore-forming rods, catalase- and oxidase-positive, motile by gliding and facultatively anaerobic. The only respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7) and the major fatty acids were iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 1 G. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 47.5±1.0 mol%. In addition to phosphatidylethanolamine, the major polar lipids were two unidentified aminophospholipids, one unidentified aminolipid and three unidentified polar lipids. The major cell-wall sugars were ribose, xylose and galactose. It is proposed that strain DCY13T represents a novel species in the genus Sediminibacterium , for which the name Sediminibacterium ginsengisoli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DCY13T ( = KCTC 12833T  = JCM 15794T  = DSM 22335T). Emended descriptions of the genus Sediminibacterium and of Sediminibacterium salmoneum are also proposed.

Members within the family Rhodbacteraceae are morphologically and genetically highly diverse, and originate mostly from coastal marine environments. In this study, a novel species of this family, designated M0103T, was isolated from the surface of a sea snail Littorina scabra. Strain M0103T is Gram-stain-negative, halophilic, non-motile and non-Bacteriochlorophyll a-producing bacterium. Several phenotypic characteristics of the isolate were similar to other species within this family, such as the sole respiratory quinone Q-10 and major fatty acid components C18 : 1  ω7c, C18 : 0 and C16 : 0. Strain M0103T contains a diphosphatidylglycerol, a phosphatidylglycerol, a phosphatidylcholine, a phosphatidy ethanolamine, a phosphatidylinositol, five unidentified phospholipids and four unidentified polar lipids. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, this isolate showed the closest phylogenetic relationship with ‘ Palleronia pontilimi ’ GH1-23T (95.1 %). Values of average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) of genome sequences were of 70.1–76.4 % and 18.3–20.9 % between the isolate and 24 closely related type strains. Analysis the 4.0 Mb genome of strain M0103T revealed several putative genes associated with cellular stress resistance, which may play protective roles for the isolate in the adaptation to a marine environment. Phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses suggested that strain M0103T represents a novel genus and novel species of the family Rhodobacteraceae , for which the name Mesobaculum littorinae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is M0103T (=MCCC 1K03619T=KCTC 62358T).

The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified polar lipids. Menaquinone 6 (MK-6) was the only respiratory quinone. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain Th68T represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Flavobacteriaceae , for which the name Flavirhabdus iliipiscaria gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Flavirhabdus iliipiscaria is Th68T ( = JCM 18637T = KCTC 32141T).
