Two strains (JA746T and JA756T) having yellowish brown-to-green pigment were isolated from a solar saltern and a pink pond, respectively. While both strains were non-motile and shared the presence of bacteriochlorophyll-a, major cellular fatty acids (C18 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0, C18 : 0), quinone (Q-10), polar lipids and hopanoids, they differed from each other in their carotenoid composition. The G+C content of genomic DNA of strains JA746T and 756T was 62.4 and 63.3 mol%, respectively. The 16S rRNA gene-based EzTaxon-e blast search analysis of strains JA746T and 756T indicated highest sequence similarity with members of the genus Rhodovulum in the family Rhodobacteraceae of the class Alphaproteobacteria . Strain JA746T has high sequence similarities with Rhodovulum visakhapatnamense JA181T (97.3 %), Rhodovulum steppense A-20sT (97.3 %), Rhodovulum phaeolacus JA580T (97 %), Rhodovulum strictum MB-G2T (97 %) and other members of the genus Rhodovulum (<97 %). Strain JA756T has high sequence similarities with Rhodovulum visakhapatnamense JA181T (99.8 %), Rhodovulum sulfidophilum Hansen W4T (99.1 %), Rhodovulum kholense JA297T (97.9 %) and other members of the genus Rhodovulum (<97 %). The sequence similarity between strains JA746T and JA756T was 97.5 %. However, these strains are not closely related to each other or to their phylogenetic neighbours since the DNA–DNA reassociation values were less than 56 %. The genomic information was also supported by phenotypic and chemotaxonomic results, leading us to classify strains JA746T ( = NBRC 108898T = KCTC 15180T) and JA756T ( = NBRC 109122T = KCTC 15223T) as the type strains of two novel species of the genus Rhodovulum , for which the names Rhodovulum salis sp. nov. and Rhodovulum viride sp. nov. are proposed, respectively.

A reddish-brown bacterium, designated strain JA318T, was purified from a photoheterotrophic enrichment culture obtained from the rhizosphere soil of paddy. Cells of strain JA318T are spiral shaped, Gram-stain-negative and motile by means of amphitrichous flagella. Strain JA318T has no NaCl requirement for growth but can tolerate up to 1.5 % (w/v) NaCl. Internal photosynthetic membranes are present as lamellar stacks. Photoorganoheterotrophy is the only growth mode observed. Strain JA318T contains bacteriochlorophyll a, lycopene and rhodopin as major carotenoids. Thiamine, niacin and para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) are required as growth factors. Major fatty acids are C18 : 1ω7c and C16 : 0. Ubiquinone-8 and rhodoquinone-8 are the observed quinones. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and an unidentified aminolipid are the major polar lipids in strain JA318T. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain JA318T clustered with species of the genus Rhodospirillum which belongs to the class Alphaproteobacteria . The highest sequence similarity of strain JA318T was found with Rhodospirillum sulfurexigens JA143T (99.9 %). The DNA–DNA reassociation values of strain JA318T with Rsp. sulfurexigens JA143T and Rhodospirillum photometricum DSM 122T were 52±2 % and 45±1 %, respectively. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain JA318T was 60.2 mol%. Based on the morphological, physiological, chemotaxonomical and molecular evidence, strain JA318T is significantly different from the type strains of species of the genus Rhodospirillum , of the family Rhodospirillaceae , and it is proposed that the strain be classified as a representative of a novel species for which the name Rhodospirillum oryzae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JA318T ( = KCTC 5960T = NBRC 107573T).

Two marine bacterial strains, designated S2-4-21T and MT2-5-19, were isolated from two tidal flat sediments of cordgrass Spartina alterniflora and adjacent oyster culture field in Quanzhou bay, China, respectively. Both strains were Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped, non-flagellated, non-motile, aerobic, had NaCl requirements, and contained carotenoid and flexirubin pigments. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (99.8%), average nucleotide identity value (99.4%) and average amino acid identity (99.3%) between strain S2-4-21T and strain MT2-5-19 strongly supported that they belonged to a single species. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain S2-4-21T and strain MT2-5-19 formed a monophyletic branch affiliated to the family Flavobacteriaceae , sharing similarities of 94.6% with Euzebyella marina CY01T and E. saccharophila 7SM30T, and of 94.1 and 92.8% with E. algicola MEBiC 12267T and Pseudozobellia thermophile DSM 19858T, respectively. Phylogenomic analysis based on the whole genome sequences supported that the two strains formed a distinct monophyletic clade within Flavobacteriaceae members, which was phylogenetically different from the clades of Euzebyella and Pseudozobellia . The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone MK-6. The major fatty acids (>10%) consisted of C15 : 0 iso, C16 : 0, summed feature 9 (C17 : 1 iso ω9c/C16 : 0 10-methyl) and C17 : 0 iso 3-OH. The polar lipid profiles of strain S2-4-21T and strain MT2-5-19 are identical, including phosphatidylethanolamine, four unidentified aminolipids, and four unidentified lipids. The genomic size was 4.9–5.0 Mb with genomic DNA G+C content of 41.5 mol%. Based on the above characteristics, strains S2-4-21T and MT2-5-19 represented a novel species of a novel genus in the family Flavobacteriaceae . Thus, Pareuzebyella sediminis gen. nov. sp. nov. is proposed with type strain S2-4-21T (=MCCC 1K03818T=KCTC 72152T), and another strain MT2-5-19 (=KCTC 72539=MCCC 1K03874).

A rod-shaped, yellow-pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and aerobic bacterium, designated 7-3AT, was isolated from soil from King George Island, maritime Antarctica, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Growth occurred at 4–37 °C (optimum, 20°C) and at pH 5.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0–8.0). Tolerance to NaCl was up to 4 % (w/v) with optimum growth in the absence of NaCl. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain 7-3AT represented a member of the family Flavobacteriaceae . Strain 7-3AT showed the highest sequence similarities with Kaistella yonginensis HMD 1043T (96.65 %), Kaistella carnis NCTC 13525T (96.53 %), Kaistella chaponensis DSM 23145T (96.27 %), Kaistella antarctica LMG 24720T (96.13 %) and Kaistella jeonii DSM 17048T (96.06 %). A whole genome-level comparison of 7-3AT with K. jeonii DSM 17048T, K. antarctica LMG 24720T, K. chaponensis DSM 23145T, and Kaistella palustris DSM 21579T revealed average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of 79.03, 82.25, 78.12, and 74.42 %, respectively. The major respiratory isoprenoid quinone was identified as MK-6 and a few ubiquinones Q-10 were identified. In addition, flexirubin-type pigments were absent. The polar lipid profile of 7-3AT was found to contain one phosphatidylethanolamine, six unidentified aminolipids (AL) and two unidentified lipids (L). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was determined to be 34.54 mol%. The main fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 9 (comprising iso-C17 : 1ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl), anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C13 : 0 and summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c). On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, a novel species of the genus Kaistella , Kaistella flava sp. nov., is proposed, with the type strain 7-3AT (=CCTCC AB 2016141T= KCTC 52492T). Emended descriptions of Kaistella yonginensis , Kaistella jeonii , Kaistella antarctica and Kaistella chaponensis are also given.
