A slightly thermophilic, Gram-staining-negative and strictly aerobic bacteria, designated strain YIM 78141T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected at Hehua hot spring, Tengchong, Yunnan province, south-west China. Cells of the strain were short-rod-shaped and colonies were yellowish and circular. The strain grew at pH 6.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 8.0–9.0) and 10–55 °C (optimum, 40–50 °C). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison demonstrated that strain YIM 78141T belongs to the family Neisseriaceae , and strain YIM 78141T also showed low levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (below 93.4 %) with all other genera in this family. The only quinone was ubiquinone 8 and the genomic DNA G+C content was 67.3 mol%. Major fatty acids (>5 %) were C12 : 0, C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω7c and summed feature 3. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phospholipids of unknown structure containing aminoglycophospholipid and three unidentified polar lipids. On the basis of the morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics as well as genotypic data, this strain should be classified as a representative of a novel genus and species of the family Neisseriaceae , for which the name Crenobacter luteus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 78141T ( = BCRC 80650T = KCTC 32558T = DSM 27258T).

A hyperthermophilic anaerobic bacterium, designated D2C22T, was isolated from the hydrothermal hot spring of Guelma in north-east Algeria. The isolate was a Gram-stain-positive, non-sporulating, non-motile rod, appearing singly or in pairs (0.3–0.4×8.0–9.0 µm). Strain D2C22T grew anaerobically at 45–85 °C (optimum 65 °C), at pH 5–9 (optimum pH 6.8) and with 0–20 g NaCl l−1. Strain D2C22T used glucose, galactose, lactose, fructose, ribose, xylose, arabinose, maltose, cellobiose, mannose, melibiose, sucrose, xylan and pyruvate (only in the presence of yeast extract or biotrypticase) as electron donors. The end products from glucose fermentation were acetate, lactate, CO2 and H2. Nitrate, nitrite, thiosulfate, elemental sulfur, sulfate and sulfite were not used as electron acceptors. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 41.6 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain D2C22T was most closely related to Caldicoprobacter oshimai JW/HY-331T, Caldicoprobacter algeriensis TH7C1T and Acetomicrobium faecale DSM 20678T (95.5, 95.5 and 95.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain D2C22T is proposed to be a representative of a novel species of the genus Caldicoprobacter within the order Clostridiales , for which the name Caldicoprobacter guelmensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is D2C22T ( = DSM 24605T = JCM 17646T).

A yellowish pigmented, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (strain CC-TBT-3T), was isolated on marine agar 2216 from a coastal hot spring of Green Island (Lutao), located off Taituang, Taiwan. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain CC-TBT-3T showed a relatively low similarity (<95.5 %) to representatives of the genera Novosphingobium , Sphingosinicella and Sphingomonas of the Sphingomonadaceae , with the most related strain being the type strain of Novosphingobium soli . In addition to the relatively low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to members of established species, the isolate also showed some unique chemotaxonomic features, including the presence of some glycolipids with unusual chromatographic behaviour. The major components of the polar lipid profile were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, sphingoglycolipid and three unidentified glycolipids. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-10. The polyamine pattern was characterized by the triamine sym-homospermidine as a major component. Although the predominant fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH), the isolate did not show the typical hydroxyl fatty acids, such as C14 : 0 2-OH, C15 : 0 2-OH and C16 : 0 2-OH, found in members of the genera Novosphingobium , Sphingomonas and Sphingosinicella , but showed instead high amounts of C18 : 1 2-OH (12.0 %). The DNA G+C content of strain CC-TBT-3T was 63.4 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence, chemotaxonomic and physiological analyses revealed that strain CC-TBT-3T represents a novel species in a new genus in the family Sphingomonadaceae for which the name Sphingomicrobium lutaoense gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is of the type species S. lutoaense, CC-TBT-3T ( = DSM 24194T = CCM 7794T).

A Gram-staining-positive, non-motile, strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming, vibrio-shaped bacterial strain, CL-TW6T, was isolated from a reservoir seawater sample from a solar saltern in Korea. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain CL-TW6T revealed a clear affiliation with the family Microbacteriaceae . Strain CL-TW6T showed the closest phylogenetic relationships with the genera Yonghaparkia and Microcella , with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 94.8–95.3 %. The strain grew in the presence of 1–9 % sea salts, at 15–35 °C and at pH 7.0–9.0. The major cellular fatty acids of strain CL-TW6T were anteiso-C15 : 0 (32.6 %), iso-C16 : 0 (20.4 %), iso-C15 : 0 (13.2 %) and iso-C14 : 0 (11.8 %) and the major menaquinones were MK-9 and MK-10. Cell-wall analysis showed that the peptidoglycan of strain CL-TW6T contained 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, alanine, glycine and glutamic acid. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain CL-TW6T was 60.0 mol%. The combined phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data showed clearly that strain CL-TW6T could be distinguished from members of the family Microbacteriaceae with validly published names. Thus, strain CL-TW6T should be classified as representing a novel genus and species in the family Microbacteriaceae , for which the name Pontimonas salivibrio gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Pontimonas salivibrio is CL-TW6T ( = KCCM 90105T  = JCM 18206T).

A novel filamentous bacterium, strain SCSIO 10219T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from the South China Sea (113° 3.752′ E 18° 1.722′ N) at a depth of 2105 m. Growth was observed at 25–35 °C (optimum 30 °C) and pH 5.0–8.0 (optimum pH 6.0–7.0). The organism formed yellow–white colonies with radial wrinkles. Aerial mycelium was not produced on any of the growth media tested. Phenotypic characterization and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain SCSIO 10219T belongs to the family Thermoactinomycetaceae . The strain contained ll-diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall. The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine and five unknown phospholipids. Major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 46.5 mol%. On the basis of chemotaxonomic properties and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence data, it is proposed that this strain represents a novel species in a new genus, Marininema mesophilum gen. nov., sp. nov., in the family Thermoactinomycetaceae . The type strain of the type species is SCSIO 10219T ( = CCTCC AA 2011006T = DSM 45610T). In addition, we propose that the description of the family Thermoactinomycetaceae should be further emended based on the present study.

A novel pale pink-pigmented halophilic archaeon, strain DC30T, was isolated from Aran-Bidgol salt lake, a hypersaline playa in Iran. Cells of strain DC30T were non-motile and pleomorphic, from rods to triangular or disc-shaped. Strain DC30T required at least 1.7 M NaCl and 0.05 M MgCl2 for growth (optimum, 3 M NaCl and 0.1 M MgCl2). The optimum pH and temperature for growth of strain DC30T were pH 7.5 and 40 °C, respectively, although it was capable of growth over pH and temperature ranges of 6.5–8.5 and 25–50 °C, respectively. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain DC30T was a member of the family Halobacteriaceae . However, it had low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 92.4 %, 89.4 % and 89.1 % to the most closely related haloarchaeal taxa, the type species of the genera Halorubrum , Halogranum and Haloplanus , respectively. The DNA G+C content was 66.0 mol%. Phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester, common phospholipids found in haloarchaea, were present. Three minor phospholipids and one unidentified glycolipid were also observed. The only quinone present was MK-8(II-H2). The physiological, biochemical and phylogenetic differences between strain DC30T and other previously described genera of extremely halophilic archaea suggest that strain DC30T represents a novel species in a new genus within the family Halobacteriaceae , for which the name Halopenitus persicus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Halopenitus persicus is DC30T ( = IBRC 10041T = KCTC 4046T).
