A novel bacterial strain designated P-1T was isolated from the trunk surface of a Japanese oak (Quercus crispula) growing in the Shirakami Mountains in Japan. Cells of strain P-1T were Gram-stain-negative, ellipsoidal endospore-forming, aerobic, slightly acidophilic rods, 0.8×2–5 µm, and motile by means of peritrichous flagella. Various carbohydrates could be used as growth substrates, but none of the organic acids tested were used. The major cellular fatty acid was anteiso-C15 : 0, which accounted for 64.2 % of the total fatty acids. The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7). Strain P-1T contained phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine, four unidentified aminolipids, an unidentified phospholipid and two unidentified polar lipids. Strain P-1T shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Paenibacillus pini S22T (96.6 %), followed by Paenibacillus chibensis JCM 9905T (96.1 %) and Paenibacillus anaericanus MH21T (95.9 %). The DNA G+C content was 43.9 mol%. These data indicate that strain P-1T represents a novel species within the genus Paenibacillus , for which we propose the name Paenibacillus shirakamiensis sp. nov. The type strain is P-1T (NBRC 109471T = DSM 26806T = KCTC 33126T = CIP 110571T).

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and aerobic bacterial strain, named Ery12T, was isolated from the overlying water of the Lau Basin in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. Strain Ery12T showed high 16S rRNA gene sequences similarity to Tsuneonella flava MS1-4T (99.9 %), T. mangrovi MCCC 1K03311T (98.1 %), Altererythrobacter ishigakiensis NBRC 107699T (97.3 %) and exhibited ≤97.0 % sequence similarity with other type strains of species with validly published names. Growth was observed in media with 0–10.0 % NaCl (optimum 0–1.0 %, w/v), pH 5.0–9.5 (optimum 6.0–7.0) and 10–42 °C (optimum 30–37 °C). The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 10 (Q-10). The major cellular fatty acid was summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c and/or C18 : 1  ω6c). The major polar lipids were sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidyglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, three unidentified glycolipids, one unidentified aminoglycolipid and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content was 60.8 %. The ANI and in silico DDH values between strain Ery12T and the type strains of its closely related species were 71.0- 91.8 % and 19.5- 44.6 %, respectively. According to the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genomic data, strain Ery12T represents a novel species of the genus Tsuneonella , for which the name Tsuneonella suprasediminis is proposed. The type strain is Ery12T (=CGMCC 1.16500 T=MCCC 1A04421T=KCTC 62388T). We further propose to reclassify Altererythrobacter rhizovicinus and Altererythrobacter spongiae as Pelagerythrobacter rhizovicinus comb. nov. and Altericroceibacterium spongiae comb. nov., respectively.

Five phytopathogenic bacterial strains, MAFF 301449T, MAFF 301450, MAFF 301451, MAFF 301452, and MAFF 301453, which were isolated from bud blight lesions of cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum Mill.) in Miyagi, Japan, were subjected to polyphasic taxonomic characterisation. The cells were Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, motile with one to five polar flagella, and rod-shaped. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that they belong to the genus Pseudomonas , with Pseudomonas extremaustralis 14-3T (99.79 % sequence similarity), Pseudomonas trivialis DSM 14937T (99.79 %), Pseudomonas poae DSM 14936T (99.72 %), and Pseudomonas antarctica CMS 35T (99.72 %) as their relatives. The genomic DNA G+C content was 60.3 mol% and the major fatty acids (>5 % of the total fatty acids) were C16 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c/C16 : 1 ω6c), summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c/C18 : 1 ω6c), and C17 : 0 cyclo. Phylogenetic analysis using the rpoD gene sequences and phylogenomic analyses based on the whole genome sequences demonstrated that the strains are members of the Pseudomonas fluorescens subgroup, but form a monophyletic and robust clade separated from their relatives. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridisation analyses with the closely related Pseudomonas species corroborated their novel species status. The strains were differentiated from their relatives by phenotypic characteristics, pathogenicity towards cyclamen, cellular fatty acid composition, and whole-cell MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry profiles. Based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and genotypic data obtained, we conclude that the strains represent a novel Pseudomonas species, for which we propose the name Pseudomonas cyclaminis sp. nov.; the type strain is MAFF 301449T (=ICMP 23720T).

A novel bacterium, designated strain F051-1T, isolated from a seawater sample collected from the coast at Damupo beach in Pohang, Korea, was investigated in a polyphasic taxonomic study. Cells were yellow-pigmented, strictly aerobic, Gram-staining-negative and rod-shaped. The temperature, pH and NaCl ranges for growth were 4–30 °C, pH 6.0–9.0 and 1.0–6.0 % (w/v), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain F051-1T belongs to the genus Psychroserpens in the family Flavobacteriaceae . Its closest relatives were Psychroserpens burtonensis ACAM 188T (96.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Psychroserpens mesophilus KOPRI 13649T (95.7 %). The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G and anteiso-C15 : 0. The polar lipid profile consisted of a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, one unidentified phospholipid and eight unidentified lipids. The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6 and the genomic DNA G+C content of the strain was 33.5 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic data, strain F051-1T represents a novel species within the genus Psychroserpens , for which the name Psychroserpens damuponensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is F051-1T ( = KCTC 23539T  = JCM 17632T).

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain SHC163T, which was isolated from the gut of Onchidium reevesii. The bacterium was Gram-stain-negative, oxidase-positive, catalase-negative and rod-shaped. Growth was observed at salinities of 0–4.0 % NaCl and at temperatures of 15–35 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain SHC163T belonged to the genus Jannaschia , with the highest sequence similarity to Jannaschia seosinensis CL-SP26T (97.9%), followed by Jannaschia faecimaris DSM 100420T (97.8 %), Jannaschia rubra CECT 5088T (97.5%) and eight species of the genus Jannaschia (94.7−97.1 %). The average amino acid identity, average nucleotide identity and the digital DNA–DNA hybridization estimate values between strain SHC163T and the type strains of the genus Jannaschia were 64.33−79.78 %, 71.0−78.4 % and 19.2−21.0%, respectively. The principal fatty acids (>5 %) were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c/C18 : 1  ω6c, 56.5 %), C18 : 1  ω7c 11-methyl (23.1 %), C18 : 0 (8.7 %). The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 67.8 mol%. The respiratory quinone was determined to be Q-10 (100 %). The polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid, an unidentified aminolipid and aminophospholipid. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data show that strain SHC163T represents a novel species within the genus Jannaschia , for which the name Jannaschia marina sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain SHC163T (=MCCC 1K04032T=KCTC 72524T).
