A taxonomic study was carried out on strain GCS-AN-3T, which was isolated from a phenol-degrading consortium enriched from coking wastewater activated sludge of Beijing Shougang Company Limited during the screening of phenol-degrading bacteria. Cells of strain GCS-AN-3T were Gram-stain-negative, short rods, and oxidase-/catalase-positive. Growth was observed at salinities from 0 to 2.5 % and at temperatures from 10 to 37 °C. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain GCS-AN-3T was most closely related to Ottowia pentelensis DSM 21699T (96.2 %). The principal fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c), C16 : 0, summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c/C18 : 1ω6c) and cyclo C17 : 0. The major respiratory quinone was Q-8. The polar lipids comprised phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and an unknown phospholipid. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 67.6 mol%. Thiosulfate could be utilized as co-substrate for aerobic growth and was oxidized to sulfate. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular data, strain GCS-AN-3T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Ottowia , for which the name Ottowia beijingensis sp. nov. is proposed (type strain GCS-AN-3T = LMG 27179T = CGMCC 1.12324T = MCCC 1A01410T). An emended description of the genus Ottowia is also proposed.

A novel Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile and coccus-shaped bacterium, strain C7T, was isolated from the gut of the butterfly Sasakia charonda. Strain C7T grew optimally at 20–25 °C, at pH 7–8 and with 1 % (w/v) NaCl. The strain was negative for oxidase activity but positive for catalase activity. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain C7T and Orbus hercynius CN3T shared 96.8 % similarity. The major fatty acids identified were C14 : 0, C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω7c and summed feature 2 (comprising C14 : 0 3-OH/iso-C16 : 1). The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8). The polar lipids of strain C7T were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid and two unidentified aminophospholipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA extracted from strain C7T was 32.1 mol%. Taken together, the phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic analyses indicate that strain C7T represents a novel species of the genus Orbus , for which the name Orbus sasakiae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is C7T ( = KACC 16544T = JCM 18050T). An emended description of the genus Orbus is provided.

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain YN3T, which was isolated from a seaweed sample taken from the coast of Weihai, China. The bacterium was Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, and could grow at pH 5.0–10.0 and 4–32 °C in the presence of 0–9.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain YN3T was positive for the hydrolysis of polysaccharides, such as agar, starch and xylan. The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8. The major fatty acids were C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, C16 : 0 and C18 : 1ω7c. The main polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine, and two unidentified glycolipids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 49.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain YN3T should be assigned to the genus Gilvimarinus . ‘Gilvimarinus agarilyticus’ KCTC 23325 and Gilvimarinus chinensis QM42T had the closest phylogenetic relationship to strain YN3T, and showed 97.9 % and 95.8 % sequence similarities, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic data and DNA–DNA hybridization studies, we propose that strain YN3T represents a novel species of the genus Gilvimarinus , for which the name Gilvimarinus polysaccharolyticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YN3T ( = KCTC 32438T = JCM 19198T). An emended description of the genus Gilvimarinus is also presented.

The strain hydrolysed gelatin and DNA but did not reduce nitrate. It grew at 4–40 °C and with 0.5–11 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SM1354T belonged to the genus Marivirga with 96.0–96.2 % sequence similarities to known species of the genus Marivirga . The major fatty acids of strain SM1354T were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C17 : 03-OH and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 02-OH). Polar lipids of strain SM1354T included phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified lipids and one unidentified aminolipid and aminophospholipid. The major respiratory quinone of strain SM1354T was menaquinone 7 (MK-7). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain SM1354T was 33.9±0.4 mol%. On the basis of the results of the polyphasic characterization in this study, it is proposed that strain SM1354T represents a novel species of the genus Marivirga , namely Marivirga atlantica sp. nov. The type strain of Marivirga atlantica is SM1354T ( = CCTCC AB 2014242T = JCM 30305T). An emended description of the genus Marivirga is also proposed.

The major respiratory quinone was Q-10 and the major cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c, C18 : 0, 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c and C16 : 0. Polar lipids included phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylcholine (PC), two unidentified aminolipids and an unidentified lipid. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain P-50-3T was 69.0 mol%. On the basis of the data obtained in this polyphasic study, strain P-50-3T represents a novel species within the genus Albimonas , for which the name Albimonas pacifica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Albimonas pacifica is P-50-3T ( = KACC 16527T = CGMCC 1.11030T). An emended description of the genus Albimonas Lim et al. 2008 is also proposed.

The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain MEBiC09566T showed the highest similarity with the Kiloniella laminariae LD81T (96.7 %). Growth was observed at 11–31 °C (optimum 25 °C), at pH 6.0–8.5 (optimum pH 7.0) and with 0–6 % (optimum 2.5 %) NaCl. The predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (comprised of C18 : 1ω7c/C18 : 1ω6c) and summed feature 3 (comprised of C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c). The DNA G+C content is 44.6 mol%. The major respiratory quinone is Q-9. Phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified lipid, two unidentified aminophospholipids and one unidentified aminolipid were detected as major polar lipids. On the basis of this polyphasic taxonomic data, it is concluded that strain MEBiC09566T should be classified as representing a novel species in the genus Kiloniella and the name proposed is Kiloniella spongiae sp. nov.
