A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, chemoheterotrophic marine bacterium, designated 20V17T, was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney collected from the South-west Indian Ridge. Cells of strain 20V17T were motile, short rods, 1.2–1.8 µm in length and 0.5–0.7 µm in width. Growth was observed at between 20 and 37 °C (optimum 25 °C–28 °C), pH 5.0 and 8.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and 0.5 and 8 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 1.5–2.0 % NaCl). The major fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c (74.4 %), C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (11 %), C18 : 0 (5.1 %) and C18 : 0 3-OH (2.8 %), and the polar lipid profile comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified glycolipid and four unidentified phospholipids. Ubiquinone 10 was the major quinone. The G+C content of genomic DNA was 66.3 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain 20V17T belonged to the genus Defluviimonas and shared 96.5 and 96.1 % sequence similarity with Defluviimonas denitrificans D9-3T and Defluviimonas aestuarii BS14T, respectively. On the basis of the taxonomic data obtained in this study, strain 20V17T represents a novel species of the genus Defluviimonas , for which the name Defluviimonas indica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 20V17T (CGMCC 1.10859T = JCM 17871T = MCCC 1A01802T).

A novel Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, brick red-pigmented bacterium, designated R-22-1 c-1T, was isolated from water from Baiyang Lake, Hebei Province, PR China. The strain was able to grow at 20–30 °C (optimum, 30 °C) and pH 6–7 (optimum, pH 6) in Reasoner’s 2A medium. 16S rRNA gene sequence and phylogenetic analyses of R-22-1 c-1T revealed closest relationships to Rufibacter immobilis MCC P1T (97.8 %), Rufibacter sediminis H-1T (97.9 %) and Rufibacter glacialis MDT1-10-3T (97.0 %), with other species of the genus Rufibacter showing less than 97.0 % sequence similarity. The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids and three unidentified lipids. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, C15 : 1  ω6c, C17 : 1  ω6c, anteiso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c) and summed feature 4 (iso-C17 : 1I and/or anteiso-C17 : 1B). The respiratory quinone was MK-7. The draft genome of R-22-1 c-1T was 5.6 Mbp in size, with a G+C content of 50.2 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization relatedness values between strain R-22-1 c-1T and related type strains were R. immobilis MCC P1T (77.2 and 21.8 %), R. sediminis H-1T (81.6 and 21.4 %) and R. tibetensis 1351T (78.5 and 22.9 %). Based on these phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic results, strain R-22-1 c-1T represents a novel species in the genus Rufibacter , for which the name Rufibacter latericius sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R-22-1 c-1T (=CGMCC 1.13570T=KCTC 62781T).

A Gram-stain-negative bacterium, designated strain PF-30T, was isolated from floodwater of a paddy field in South Korea. Strain PF-30T was found to be a strictly aerobic, motile and pink-pigmented rods which can grow at 25–40 °C (optimum, 28 °C), at pH 5.0–9.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and at salinities of 0.5–3.0 % NaCl (optimum 0.5 % NaCl). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain PF-30T belongs to the genus Elioraea , showing highest sequence similarity to Elioraea tepidiphila TU-7T (97.1%) and less than 91.3 % similarity with other members of the family Acetobacteraceae . The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and DNA–DNA relatedness between the strain PF-30T and E. tepidiphila TU-7T yielded an ANI value of 75.1 % and DNA–DNA relatedness of 11.7±0.7 %, respectively. The major fatty acids were identified as C18 : 0 and C18 : 1 ω7c. The predominant respiratory quinone was identified as Q-10. The DNA G+C content was determined to be 69.9 mol%. The strain PF-30T was observed to produce plant-growth-promoting materials such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), siderophore and phytase. On the basis of the results from phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, we concluded that strain PF-30T represents a novel species of the genus Elioraea , for which the name Elioraea rosea sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PF-30T (=KACC 19985T=NBRC 113984T).

A Gram-staining-positive, strictly aerobic, spherical, non-motile, red-pigmented bacterium, designated strain MK03T, was isolated from a soil sample collected in South Korea. The taxonomic position of the novel strain was investigated using a polyphasic approach. In phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain MK03T was placed in a clade formed by members of the genus Deinococcus in the family Deinococcaceae and appeared to be most closely related to Deinococcus aerolatus 5516T-9T (97.4 % sequence similarity), Deinococcus marmoris AA-63T (97.2 %), Deinococcus radiopugnans ATCC 19172T (97.2 %) and Deinococcus saxicola AA-1444T (96.9 %). The genomic DNA G+C content of the novel strain was 64.5 mol%. The chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain MK03T were typical of members of the genus Deinococcus : MK-8 was identified as the predominant respiratory quinine, the major fatty acids were C16 : 1ω7c, C15 : 1ω6c, C16 : 0 and C15 : 0, ornithine was found to be the diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan and the novel strain showed resistance to gamma radiation, with a D10 value (i.e. the dose required to reduce the bacterial population by 10-fold) in excess of 9 kGy. In hybridization experiments, only low DNA–DNA relatedness values (11.6–34.5 %) were recorded between the novel strain and its closest relatives in the genus Deinococcus . Based on the phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic, phenotypic and DNA–DNA relatedness data, strain MK03T represents a novel species of the genus Deinococcus , for which the name Deinococcus humi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MK03T ( = KCTC 13619T  = JCM 17915T).

A moderately thermophilic, anaerobic, dissimilatory iron(III)-reducing bacterium (strain S3R1T) was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney located on the Eastern Lau Spreading Centre in the Pacific Ocean at a depth of about 2150 m. Cells of strain S3R1T were ovals to short rods with a single polar flagellum, Gram-stain-negative, 0.5–0.6 µm in diameter and 0.8–1.3 µm long, growing singly or in pairs. The temperature range for growth was 36–62 °C, with an optimum at 50 °C. The pH range for growth was 5.5–7.5, with an optimum at pH 6.5. Growth of strain S3R1T was observed at NaCl concentrations ranging from 1.0 to 5.0 % (w/v), with an optimum at 2.0–2.5 % (w/v). The isolate used acetate, fumarate, malate, maleinate, succinate, propanol, palmitate, stearate, peptone and yeast extract as electron donors for growth and iron(III) reduction. All electron donors were oxidized completely to CO2 and H2O. Iron(III) (in the form of ferrihydrite, ferric citrate or ferric nitrilotriacetate) and elemental sulfur (S0) were the electron acceptors that supported growth. The DNA G+C content was 64.4 mol%. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the novel bacterium was related to representatives of the orders Desulfuromonadales and Syntrophobacterales with 84–86 % sequence similarity and formed a distinct phylogenetic branch in the Deltaproteobacteria . On the basis of its physiological properties and results of phylogenetic analyses, it is proposed that the new isolate represents the sole species of a novel genus, Deferrisoma camini gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Deferrisoma camini is S3R1T ( = DSM 24185T  = VKM B-2672T).
