A Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium, designated strain RG4-7T, was isolated from the moss Polytrichastrum formosum collected from Gawalong glacier in Tibet, China, and characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The predominant fatty acids of strain RG4-7T were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminophospholipid, one unidentified phospholipid, two unidentified aminolipids and one unidentified lipid. Strain RG4-7T contained MK-7 as the dominant menaquinone and the G+C content of its genomic DNA was 39.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain RG4-7T was affiliated to species of the genus Mucilaginibacter , and its closest relative was Mucilaginibacter jinjuensis YC7004T (97.0 % sequence similarity). However, the DNA–DNA relatedness between this strain and strain RG4-7T was only 49.1±3.7 %. Based on phylogenetic inference and phenotypic data, strain RG4-7T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter , for which the name Mucilaginibacter polytrichastri sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RG4-7T ( = CGMCC 1.12493T = DSM 26907T). An emended description of the genus Mucilaginibacter is also proposed.

Emended Description

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain DLFJ1-1T, which was isolated from an oil-degrading bacterial consortium, enriched by the surface seawater from around the Dalian Peninsula. The isolate was Gram-reaction-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, short-rod-shaped and non-motile. Growth was observed at salinities from 0.5 to 15 % and at temperatures from 4 to 37 °C; the strain was unable to degrade gelatin or to reduce nitrate. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain DLFJ1-1T belonged to the genus Thioclava , with the highest sequence similarity (96.4 %) to Thioclava pacifica TL 2T, while the similarities to other species examined were all below 95.0 %. The principal fatty acids were C19 : 0ω8c cyclo and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c/ω6c). The major quinone of strain DLFJ1-1T was Q10. The major polar lipids of strain DLFJ1-1T were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 62.5 mol%. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data show that strain DLFJ1-1T represents a novel species of the genus Thioclava , for which the name Thioclava dalianensis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain DLFJ1-1T ( = CGMCC 1.12325T = LMG 27290T = MCCC 1A03957T). An emended description of the genus Thioclava is also proposed.
