A moderately halophilic bacterium (strain RS-16T) was isolated from saline soil in Rambla Salada, a Mediterranean hypersaline rambla in Murcia, south-east Spain. Cells of strain RS-16T were Gram-negative rods, oxidase-negative and motile by peritrichous flagella. Strain RS-16T required NaCl for growth, and grew between 1 % and 30 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 5–7.5 %), at temperatures of between 4 °C and 41 °C (optimum, 32–37 °C), and at pH values of between 5 and 10 (optimum, pH 7). Strain RS-16T was chemo-organotrophic and its metabolism was respiratory with oxygen and nitrate as terminal electron acceptors. It produced acids from d-glucose and myo-inositol, accumulated poly-β-hydroxyalkanoate granules and produced cream colonies on MY 7.5 % (w/v). The DNA G+C content of strain RS-16T was 56.2 mol%. A comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences confirmed the relationship of strain RS-16T to species of the genus Halomonas . The most phylogenetically related species was Halomonas cerina SP4T (97.4 %16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). In DNA–DNA hybridization assays strain RS-16T showed DNA–DNA relatedness values of 62.7±3.09 %, 64.5±1.97 % and 64.7±1.74 % to Halomonas cerina CECT 7282T, Halomonas cerina CECT 7284 and Halomonas cerina CECT 7283, respectively. The major fatty acids of strain RS-16T were C18 : 1ω7c and C16 : 0, and the predominant respiratory lipoquinone was ubiquinone, with nine isoprene units (Q-9). On the basis of these data, strain RS-16T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Halomonas , for which the name Halomonas ramblicola sp. nov. is proposed.

A novel Gram-positive, moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain X4BT, was isolated from soil around the hypersaline lake Aran-Bidgol in Iran and characterized taxonomically using a polyphasic approach. Cells of strain X4BT were motile rods and formed ellipsoidal endospores at a terminal or subterminal position in swollen sporangia. Strain X4BT was a strictly aerobic bacterium, catalase- and oxidase-positive. The strain was able to grow at NaCl concentrations of 0.5–22.5 % (w/v), with optimum growth occurring at 7.5 % (w/v) NaCl. The optimum temperature and pH for growth were 35 °C and pH 7.0. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain X4BT is a member of the family Bacillaceae , constituting a novel phyletic lineage within this family. Highest sequence similarities were obtained with the 16S rRNA gene sequences of the type strains of Sediminibacillus albus (96.0 %), Paraliobacillus ryukyuensis (95.9 %), Paraliobacillus quinghaiensis (95.8 %) and Sediminibacillus halophilus (95.7 %), respectively. The DNA G+C content of this novel isolate was 35.2 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids of strain X4BT were anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0 and its polar lipid pattern consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, two aminolipids, an aminophospholipid and an unknown phospholipid. The isoprenoid quinones were MK-7 (89 %) and MK-6 (11 %). The peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis in combination with chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, strain X4BT represents a novel species in a new genus in the family Bacillaceae , order Bacillales for which the name Saliterribacillus persicus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species (Saliterribacillus persicus) is X4BT ( = IBRC-M 10629T = KCTC 13827T).

A novel Gram-stain-positive, moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain G8BT, was isolated from water of the hypersaline lake Aran-Bidgol in Iran and characterized taxonomically using a polyphasic approach. Cells of strain G8BT were rod-shaped, motile and produced oval endospores at a terminal position in swollen sporangia. Strain G8BT was strictly aerobic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. The strain was able to grow at NaCl concentrations of 0.5–12.5 % (w/v), with optimum growth occurring at 5–7.5 % (w/v) NaCl. The optimum temperature and pH for growth were 35–40 °C and pH 7.5–8.0, respectively. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain G8BT was shown to belong to the genus Ornithinibacillus within the phylum Firmicutes and showed closest phylogenetic similarity with Ornithinibacillus bavariensis WSBC 24001T (97.6 %). The DNA G+C content of strain G8BT was 36.9 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids of strain G8BT were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0, and its polar lipid pattern consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, four unknown phospholipids and an unknown aminolipid. The isoprenoid quinones were MK-7 (98 %) and MK-8 (2 %). Strain G8BT contained a peptidoglycan of type A4β, l-Orn–d-Asp. All these features confirmed the placement of isolate G8BT within the genus Ornithinibacillus . DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed a low level of relatedness (6 %) between strain G8BT and Ornithinibacillus bavariensis DSM 15681T. On the basis of evidence from this study, a novel species of the genus Ornithinibacillus , Ornithinibacillus halophilus sp. nov., is proposed, with strain G8BT ( = IBRC-M 10683T = KCTC 13822T) as the type strain.
