A Gram-stain-negative, obligatory anaerobic spirochaete (RCC2812T) was isolated from a faecal sample obtained from an individual residing in a remote Amazonian community in Peru. The bacterium showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the pig intestinal spirochete Treponema succinifaciens (89.48 %). Average nucleotide identity values between strain RCC2812T and all available Treponema genomes from validated type strains were all <73 %, thus clearly lower than the species delineation threshold. The DNA G+C content of RCC2812T was 41.24 mol%. Phenotypic characterization using the API-ZYM and API 20A systems confirmed the divergent position of this bacterium within the genus Treponema . Strain RCC2812T could be differentiated from the phylogenetically most closely related T. succinifaciens by the presence of alkaline phosphatase and α -glucosidase activities. Unlike T. succinifaciens , strain RCC2812T grew equally well with or without serum. Strain RCC2812T is the first commensal Treponema isolated from the human faecal microbiota of remote populations, and based on the collected data represents a novel Treponema species for which the name Treponema peruense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RCC2812T (=LMG 31794T=CIP 111910T).

Peptidoglycan Structure

A bacterium that was Gram-staining-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod- or filamentous-shaped, designated as strain 2JSPR-7T, was isolated from a gut of larvae of Allomyrina dichotoma which were raised at the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Wanju-gun, Republic of Korea. 2JSPR-7T had the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Xylanibacterium ulmi XIL08T (98.1 %), Xylanimicrobium pachnodae NBRC 107786T (97.8 %) and Xylanimonas cellulosilytica DSM 15894T (97.5 %). Optimum growth conditions were at 28–30 °C, pH 7–8 and 0 % salt concentration. The cellular fatty acids mainly consisted of anteiso-C15 : 0, C14 : 0 and C16 : 0. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, four unidentified phospholipids and two unidentified glycophospholipids. The major menaquinones were MK-8(H4) and MK-9(H4). The peptidoglycan structure was suggested to be the type A3α (A11.14) l-Lys–l-Ser with the presence of d-Ala, l-Ala, d-Glu, l-Ser and l-Lys. Whole cell sugars were rhamnose, ribose and glucose. The DNA G+C content was 72.7 mol%. We encountered difficulty in selecting a suitable genus to accommodate strain 2JSPR-7T from any of the genera Xylanimonas , Xylanimicrobium and Xylanibacterium based on the polyphasic approach including phylogenetic and phenotypic characterization. Therefore, it is proposed to combine the genera Xylanimicrobium and Xylanibacterium with the genus Xylanimonas considering the priority of publication and to classify strain 2JSPR-7T in the genus as Xylanimonas allomyrinae sp. nov. The type strain of the novel species is 2JSPR-7T (=KACC 19330T=NBRC 113052T). In addition, the description of the genus Xylanimonas is emended, and Xylanibacterium ulmi and Xylanimicrobium pachnodae are reclassified as Xylanimonas ulmi comb. nov. and Xylanimonas pachnodae comb. nov., respectively.

A Gram-positive-staining bacterium, designated Y16T, was isolated from a soil sample from Yunnan Province, China. The isolate grew optimally at 25–30 °C, grew at pH 6.0–9.0 and could grow with 3 % NaCl. Strain Y16T had cell-wall peptidoglycan based on meso-diaminopimelic acid. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H4) and MK-9(H2). The major fatty acid methyl esters were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and C16 : 0. These chemotaxonomic characteristics suggested that the organism belonged to the genus Actinoplanes . Strain Y16T shared 98.7, 98.3 and 97.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Actinoplanes deccanensis IFO 13994T, A. abujensis A4029T and A. brasiliensis DSM 43805T, respectively. The DNA G+C content of the isolate was 70.8 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness between the novel isolate and the type strains of A. deccanensis , A. abujensis and A. brasiliensis was 35.2, 32.0 and 22.3 %, respectively. In addition, the pattern of phenotypic properties distinguished strain Y16T from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. It is therefore concluded that strain Y16T ( = CGMCC 4.6857T = JCM 17700T) represents a novel species of the genus Actinoplanes , for which the name Actinoplanes atraurantiacus sp. nov. is proposed.

Two strains of bacteria, JC213T and JC215T, were isolated from desert soil. Colonies were red to pink and cells Gram-stain-negative. Both strains were oxidase- and catalase-positive and hydrolysed casein. In both strains, phosphatidylethanolamine was the major polar lipid, iso-C15 : 0 was the major fatty acid and the bacteriohopane derivative, BHD1, was the major hopanoid. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains JC213T and JC215T were 52.7 and 46.3 mol%, respectively. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons indicated that both strains belong to the genus Pontibacter within the family Cytophagaceae and the phylum Bacteroidetes . Strain JC213T showed the highest sequence similarity to Pontibacter populi HLY7-15T (96.6 %) and with other species of the genus Pontibacter sequence similarity was less than 96 %. Strain JC215T exhibited highest sequence similarity with Pontibacter lucknowensis DM9T (95.1 %) and shared 95 % or less sequence similarity with other species of the genus Pontibacter . The sequence similarity between strains JC213T and JC215T was 95.8 %. Distinct morphological, physiological and genotypic differences from previously described taxa support JC213T and JC215T being representatives of two novel species of the genus Pontibacter , for which the names Pontibacter ruber sp. nov. and Pontibacter deserti sp. nov. are proposed and the type strains are JC213T ( = KCTC 32442T = LMG 27669T) and JC215T ( = KCTC 32443T = LMG 27670T), respectively.
