Acidobacteria constitute an abundant fraction of the soil microbial community and are currently divided into 26 subdivisions. Most cultivated members of the Acidobacteria are affiliated with subdivision 1, while only a few representatives of subdivisions 3, 4, 8, 10 and 23 have been isolated and described so far. Two novel isolates of subdivision 4 of the Acidobacteria were isolated from subtropical savannah soils and are characterized in the present work. Cells of strains A22_HD_4HT and Ac_23_E3T were immotile rods that divided by binary fission. Colonies were pink and white, respectively. The novel strains A22_HD_4HT and Ac_23_E3T were aerobic mesophiles with a broad range of tolerance towards pH (4.0–9.5 and 3.5–10.0, respectively) and temperature (15–44 and 12–47 °C, respectively). Both showed chemo-organoheterotrophic growth on some sugars, the amino sugar N-acetylgalactosamine, a few amino acids, organic acids and various complex protein substrates. Major fatty acids of A22_HD_4HT and Ac_23_E3T were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 1 (C13 : 0 3-OH/iso-C15 : 1 H), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c) and anteiso-C17 : 0. The major quinone was MK-8; in addition, MK-7 occurred in small amounts. The DNA G+C contents of A22_HD_4HT and Ac_23_E3T were 53.2 and 52.6 mol%, respectively. The closest described relative was Blastocatella fastidiosa A2-16T, with 16S rRNA gene sequence identity of 93.2 and 93.3 %, respectively. Strains A22_HD_4HT and Ac_23_E3T displayed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97.4 % to each other. On the basis of the low DNA–DNA hybridization value, the two isolates represent different species. Based on morphological, physiological and molecular characteristics, the new genus Aridibacter gen. nov. is proposed, with two novel species, the type species Aridibacter famidurans sp. nov. (type strain A22_HD_4HT = DSM 26555T = LMG 27985T) and a second species, Aridibacter kavangonensis sp. nov. (type strain Ac_23_E3T = DSM 26558T = LMG 27597T).

A previously undescribed aerobic, non-sporulating bacterium, strain G1A_585T, was isolated from an oligotrophic freshwater lake in Bavaria, Germany. The rod-shaped cells were Gram-stain-negative and non-motile. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain G1A_585T was a member of the family Sphingomonadaceae and shared <95.2 % similarity with type strains of all members of the most closely related genus, Sphingopyxis . Phyogenetically, the isolate shared a root with strains of three marine species, Sphingopyxis flavimaris DSM 16223T, Sphingopyxis marina DSM 22363T and Sphingopyxis litoris DSM 22379T. The polar lipids of strain G1A_585T were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, sphingoglycolipids, three glycolipids and one unknown lipid. Ubiquinone-10 was the dominant quinone (93.1 %) and ubiquinone-9 (6.5 %) was also detected. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c; 38.2 %); C16 : 1ω7c (33.6 %) and C14 : 0 2-OH (17.8 %). The major polyamine was spermidine and traces of 1,3-diaminopropane, putrescine and spermine were also detected. The DNA G+C content of strain G1A_585T was 55.7 mol% and the isolate was oxidase- and catalase-positive. Based on the phylogenetic relationship, the low DNA G+C content compared with most other members of the genus Sphingopyxis and the presence of signature nucleotides in the 16S rRNA gene sequence, a novel species in a new genus and species, Sphingorhabdus planktonica gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed; the type strain of Sphingorhabdus planktonica is G1A_585T ( = DSM 25081T  = LMG 26646T). Because Sphingopyxis flavimaris DSM 16223T, Sphingopyxis marina DSM 22363T and Sphingopyxis litoris DSM 22379T form a phylogenetic group together with strain G1A_585T that is clearly separated from all other known Sphingopyxis strains and share signature nucleotides, these three Sphingopyxis strains are reclassified as members of the proposed novel genus Sphingorhabdus: Sphingorhabdus flavimaris comb. nov. (type strain SW-151T = DSM 16223T = KCTC 12232T), Sphingorhabdus marina comb. nov. (type strain FR1087T = DSM 22363T = IMSNU 14132T = KCTC 12763T = JCM 14161T) and Sphingorhabdus litoris comb. nov. (type strain FR1093T = DSM 22379T = IMSNU 14133T = KCTC 12764T = JCM 14162T).

Two Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated BM5-7T and BM9-1T were isolated from soil of the root system of a mangrove forest. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the two isolates belong to the genus Martelella . The chemotaxonomic characteristics of these isolates included the presence of C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and C18 : 1ω7c as the major cellular fatty acids and Q-10 as the dominant ubiquinone. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains BM5-7T and BM9-1T were 61.0 and 59.7 mol% (HPLC method), respectively. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the two strains was 98.1 %, but DNA–DNA hybridization indicated 44 % relatedness. Strains BM5-7T and BM9-1T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 98.0–99.2 % and 97.7–98.1 %, respectively, with type strains of Martelella endophytica and Martelella mediterranea . Combined data from phenotypic, phylogenetic and DNA–DNA relatedness studies demonstrated that strains BM5-7T and BM9-1T are representatives of two novel species of the genus Martelella , for which the names Martelella radicis sp. nov. (type strain BM5-7T = DSM 28101T = LMG 27958T) and Martelella mangrovi sp. nov. (type strain BM9-1T = DSM 28102T = LMG 27959T) are proposed.

Two novel strains, THG-C26T and THG-C31T, were characterized using a polyphasic approach to determine their taxonomic positions. These two isolates were aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped. 16S rRNA gene sequences and phenotypic features including chemotaxonomic characteristics indicated that the two isolates clearly represented members of the genus Microbacterium . The quinone systems of strains THG-C26T and THG-C31T contained MK-12/MK-13 as major menaquinones. The diamino acid in cell-wall hydrolysates of the two strains was ornithine. The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The polyamine pattern had spermidine as the predominant component. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and unidentified glycolipids. Phenotypic characteristics supported the affiliation of strains THG-C26T and THG-C31T to the genus Microbacterium . Chemotaxonomic data and DNA–DNA relatedness values allowed differentiation of these strains from other species of the genus Microbacterium with validly published names. Strains THG-C26T and THG-C31T showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with Microbacterium resistens DMMZ 1710T (98.5 %) and Microbacterium trichothecenolyticum IFO 15077T (98.8 %), respectively, and the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between them was 99.0 %. DNA–DNA hybridization values between the novel isolates and strains of other species of the genus Microbacterium with validly published names were 4–25 %. Therefore, strains THG-C26T and THG-C31T are considered to represent two novel species of the genus Microbacterium , for which the names Microbacterium kyungheense sp. nov. [type strain THG-C26T ( = KACC 17124T = JCM 18735T)] and Microbacterium jejuense sp. nov. [type strain THG-C31T ( = KACC 17123T = JCM 18734T)] are proposed.

Five non-spore-forming, aerobic and Gram-stain-positive bacterial strains, 10-107-8T, 1C-4, NHI3_6, 4107_1_2, and 3D-3, were isolated from Populus×euramericana bark collected in Puyang City, Henan Province, PR China. The isolates grew at 15–40 °C and pH 5–10. The optimum temperature and pH for growth were 30 °C and pH 8.0, respectively. Chemotaxonomic features included MK-10 and MK-11 as major menaquinones (type strain); predominating iso- and anteiso-branched cellular fatty acids; diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol as major polar lipids (type strain); ornithine as the principal diamino acid of the cell-wall peptidoglycan (type strain); glycolyl type as cell-wall acyl type; and DNA G+C content of 66.8–67.6 mol%. These features were consistent with classification in the genus Microbacterium . Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence data indicated that the five isolates belonged to the genus Microbacterium and were closely related to Microbacterium halotolerans . A high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 96.97 % to M. halotolerans YIM 70130T was observed. The five isolates showed less than 96.20 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the other species of the genus Microbacterium with validly published names. DNA–DNA relatedness of the five isolates with M. halotolerans JCM 13013T ranged from 35.62 % to 44.36 %. Considering the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and the physiological and biochemical characteristics, we propose that the five strains should be assigned to a novel species of the genus Microbacterium . The name proposed for the five strains is Microbacterium populi sp. nov., and the type strain is 10-107-8T ( = CFCC 11275T = KCTC 29152T).

The Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, facultative anaerobic, motile bacterial strain, designated TP390T, was isolated from a seamount near the Yap Trench in the tropical western Pacific. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain TP390T was related to the genus Flavobacterium and had highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with the type strain of Flavobacterium jejuense EC11T (97.8 %). Sequence similarities to all other type strains of current species of the genus Flavobacterium were below 97 %. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 1G. The quinone system for strain TP390T comprised predominantly menaquinone MK-6 and the polar lipid profile contained phosphatidylethanolamine, four unknown aminolipids, one glycolipid and six unknown polar lipids. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain TP390T was 31.2 mol%. In addition, the maximum values of in silico DNA–DNA hybridization (isDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) between strain TP390T with F. jejuense KCTC 42149T were 22.60 and 80.01% respectively. Combined data from phenotypic, phylogenetic, isDDH and ANI data demonstrated that the strain TP390T is representative of a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium , for which we propose the name Flavobacterium profundi sp. nov. (type strain TP390T=KACC 18559T=CGMCC 1.15398T).

Two Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped actinobacterial strains were isolated from the surface-sterilized roots of mugwort (Artemisia princeps) and horse-weed (Conyza canadensis), and subjected to taxonomic characterization. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the isolates, designated MWE 3-5T and HWE 2-02T, should be placed in the genus Nocardioides of the family Nocardioidaceae . The strains were closely related to Nocardioides hankookensis DS-30T, which exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 97.99 and 99.09 % with strains MWE 3-5T and HWE 2-02T, respectively. The genome relatedness of N. hankookensis DS-30T with strain MWE 3-5T was 35.8 %, and that with strain HWE 2-02T was 36.4 %, whereas that between the two isolates was 43.2 %. Strains MWE 3-5T and HWE 2-02T possessed MK-8(H4) as the major isoprenoid quinone, and ll-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The main fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and C18 : 1ω9c for strain MWE 3-5T and iso-C16 : 0, 10-methyl C18 : 0 and C18 : 1ω9c for strain HWE 2-02T. Based on phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic studies, the following two novel species are proposed: Nocardioides endophyticus sp. nov. (type strain, MWE 3-5T = KCTC 29122T = JCM 18532T) and Nocardioides conyzicola sp. nov. (type strain, HWE 2-02T = KCTC 29121T = JCM 18531T).

Kiritimatiellaeota is widespread and ecologically important in various anoxic environments. However, the portion of culturable bacteria within this phylum is quite low and, in fact, there is only one currently described species. In this study, a novel anaerobic, non-motile, coccoid, Gram-stain-negative bacterial strain, designated S-5007T, was isolated from surface marine sediment. The 16S rRNA gene sequence was found to have very low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the nearest known type strain, Kiritimatiella glycovorans L21-Fru-ABT (84.9 %). The taxonomic position of the novel isolate was investigated using a polyphasic approach and comparative genomic analysis. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA genes and genomes indicated that strain S-5007T branched within the radiation of the phylum Kiritimatiellaeota . Different from the type strain, strain S-5007T can grow under microaerobic conditions, and the genomes of strain S-5007T and the other strains in its branch have many more antioxidant-related genes. Meanwhile, other different metabolic features deduced from genome analysis supported the separate evolution of the proposed class (strain S-5007T branch) and K. glycovorans L21-Fru-ABT. Based on phylogenetic and phenotypic characterization studies, Tichowtungia aerotolerans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed with S-5007T (=MCCC 1H00402T=KCTC 15876T) as the type strain, as the first representative of novel taxa, Tichowtungiales ord. nov., Tichowtungiaceae fam. nov. in Tichowtungiia class. nov.

Strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427 were isolated from the caecal content of a chicken and produced butyric, lactic and formic acids as major metabolic end products. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427 were 40.4 and 38.8 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, both strains were most closely related to the generically misclassified Streptococcus pleomorphus ATCC 29734T. Strain LMG 27428T could be distinguished from S. pleomorphus ATCC 29734T based on production of more lactic acid and less formic acid in M2GSC medium, a higher DNA G+C content and the absence of activities of acid phosphatase and leucine, arginine, leucyl glycine, pyroglutamic acid, glycine and histidine arylamidases, while strain LMG 27428 was biochemically indistinguishable from S. pleomorphus ATCC 29734T. The novel genus Faecalicoccus gen. nov. within the family Erysipelotrichaceae is proposed to accommodate strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427. Strain LMG 27428T ( = DSM 26963T) is the type strain of Faecalicoccus acidiformans sp. nov., and strain LMG 27427 ( = DSM 26962) is a strain of Faecalicoccus pleomorphus comb. nov. (type strain LMG 17756T = ATCC 29734T = DSM 20574T). Furthermore, the nearest phylogenetic neighbours of the genus Faecalicoccus are the generically misclassified Eubacterium cylindroides DSM 3983T (94.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to strain LMG 27428T) and Eubacterium biforme DSM 3989T (92.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to strain LMG 27428T). We present genotypic and phenotypic data that allow the differentiation of each of these taxa and propose to reclassify these generically misnamed species of the genus Eubacterium formally as Faecalitalea cylindroides gen. nov., comb. nov. and Holdemanella biformis gen. nov., comb. nov., respectively. The type strain of Faecalitalea cylindroides is DSM 3983T = ATCC 27803T = JCM 10261T and that of Holdemanella biformis is DSM 3989T = ATCC 27806T = CCUG 28091T.

Murray Cod

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium with monopolar flagella, designated as MC042T, was isolated from the profound head ulcers of farmed Murray cod sampled from Zhejiang Province, China. Analysis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence and multilocus sequence analysis phylogeny showed that strain MC042T belonged to the genus Pseudomonas , showing the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Pseudomonas juntendi BML3T (98.9 %), and less than 98.8 % similarity to other Pseudomonas species with validly published names. Whole-genome sequencing and phylogenetic reconstruction based on a core set of 1563 Pseudomonas genes further indicated that strain MC042T was most closely related to the clade formed by Pseudomonas protegens CHA0T and Pseudomonas saponiphila DSM 975T and distantly related to any of the validly published species of the genus Pseudomonas . Furthermore, strain MC042T could be distinguished from its closely related species of the genus Pseudomonas by its ability to assimilate maltose, d-xylose and melibiose, but not d-mannitol. The principal fatty acids were C16 : 0, summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c) and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c). The respiratory quinone was Q-9. Polar lipids of strain MC042T comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, unidentified glycolipids, an unidentified lipid, an unknown glycolipid and aminolipid. Based on its phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic features, strain MC042T is considered to represent a novel species, for which the name Pseudomonas piscis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MC042T (=KCTC 72033T=MCCC 1K03575T).

A novel actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-TCZ24T, was isolated from soil and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the organism should be assigned to the genus Cellulomonas and formed a stable clade with its closest relatives Cellulomonas terrae JCM 14899T (98.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Cellulomonas xylanilytica JCM 14281T (97.9 %) and Cellulomonas humilata JCM 11945T (97.7 %). The major menaquinones were identified as MK-9(H4) and MK-8(H4). The phospholipid profile was found to contain diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositolmannoside, a ninhydrin-positiveglycolipid, an unidentified phosphoglycolipid, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified lipid. The major fatty acids were identified as anteiso-C15 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c, C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. Moreover, morphological and chemotaxonomic properties of NEAU-TCZ24T also confirmed the affiliation of the isolate to the genus Cellulomonas . However, multilocus sequence analysis based on five other house-keeping genes (gyrB, rpoB, recA, relA and atpD), DNA–DNA relatedness, physiological and biochemical data indicated that NEAU-TCZ24T could be distinguished from its closest relatives. Therefore, it is proposed that NEAU-TCZ24T represents a novel species of the genus Cellulomonas , for which the name Cellulomonas rhizosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-TCZ24T (=CCTCC AA 2018042T=JCM 32383T).
