Two Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, moderately halophilic, rod-shaped bacteria (strains Ar-45T and DY470T) were isolated from seawater collected from the Southern Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, respectively. Growth of strain Ar-45T was observed with between 0.5 and 10.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimally with 0.5–3.0 %) and between pH 5.5 and 9.5. Strain DY470T grew in the presence of 0.5–7.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimally with 2.0 %) and at pH 5.5–8.5. Chemotaxonomic analysis showed Q-10 as the respiratory quinone for both strains. The major fatty acids (>5 %) of strain Ar-45T were C16 : 0, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and C18 : 1ω7c, while those of strain DY470T were C18 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0 and 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c. The DNA G+C contents of the two strains were 62.0 and 61.8 mol%, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains Ar-45T and DY470T were related most closely to the genus Oceanicola , with sequence similarities of 97.4–94.0 and 97.7–94.7 %, respectively. The DNA–DNA hybridization value between strain Ar-45T and Oceanicola marinus LMG 23705T was 22.0 %. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain DY470T and Oceanicola nitratireducens LMG 24663T and Oceanicola batsensis DSM 15984T were 32.5 and 26.1 %, respectively. Based on phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, strains Ar-45T and DY470T are considered to represent two novel species of the genus Oceanicola , for which the names Oceanicola antarcticus (type strain Ar-45T = CGMCC 1.12662T = LMG 27868T) and Oceanicola flagellatus (type strain DY470T = CGMCC 1.12664T = LMG 27871T) are proposed.

The Family

A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, gliding, rod-shaped and carotenoid-pigmented bacterium, designated A20-9T, was isolated from a microbial consortium of polyethylene terephthalate enriched from a deep-sea sediment sample from the Western Pacific. Growth was observed at salinities of 1–8 %, at pH 6.5–8 and at temperatures of 10–40 °C. The results of phylogenetic analyses based on the genome indicated that A20-9T formed a monophyletic branch affiliated to the family Schleiferiaceae , and the 16S rRNA gene sequences exhibited the maximum sequence similarity of 93.8 % with Owenweeksia hongkongensis DSM 17368T, followed by similarities of 90.4, 90.1 and 88.8 % with Phaeocystidibacter luteus MCCC 1F01079T, Vicingus serpentipes DSM 103558T and Salibacter halophilus MCCC 1K02288T, respectively. Its complete genome size was 4 035 598 bp, the genomic DNA G+C content was 43.2 mol%. Whole genome comparisons indicated that A20-9T and O. hongkongensis DSM 17368T shared 67.8 % average nucleotide identity, 62.7 % average amino acid identity value, 46.6% of conserved proteins and 17.8 % digital DNA–DNA hybridization identity. A20-9T contained MK-7 as the major respiratory quinone. Its major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phospatidylcholine; and the major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (37.5 %), iso-C16 : 0 3-OH (12.4 %), and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c /C16 : 1ω6c, 11.6 %). Combining the genotypic and phenotypic data, A20-9T could be distinguished from the members of other genera within the family Schleiferiaceae and represents a novel genus, for which the name Croceimicrobium hydrocarbonivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is A20-9T (=MCCC 1A17358T =KCTC 72878T).

Taxonomic Approach

A bacterial strain, designated NSW-5T, was isolated from a water sample taken from Niao-Song Wetland Park in Taiwan and characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Cells of strain NSW-5T were strictly aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and polymorphic, being straight, vibrioid, curved and spiral-shaped rods surrounded by a thick capsule and forming light pink-coloured colonies. Some rings consisting of several cells were present. Growth occurred at 10–40 °C (optimum, 25 °C), with 0–3.0 % NaCl (optimum, 0 %) and at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain NSW-5T belonged to the genus Arcicella with sequence similarities of 98.6, 98.0 and 97.3 % with Arcicella aquatica NO-502T, Arcicella rosea TW5T and Arcicella aurantiaca TNR-18T, respectively. The predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c; 20.8 %), C16 : 0 (14.6 %), iso-C15 : 0 (13.8 %), C16 : 1ω5c (12.5 %) and C18 : 0 (11.4 %), and the only respiratory quinone was MK-7. The polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine and several uncharacterized glycolipids, aminolipids, phospholipids and aminophospholipids. The DNA G+C content of strain NSW-5T was 44.1 mol%. The DNA–DNA relatedness of strain NSW-5T with respect to recognized species of the genus Arcicella was less than 70 %. On the basis of phylogenetic inference and phenotypic data, strain NSW-5T should be classified as a representative of a novel species, for which the name Arcicella rigui sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NSW-5T ( = KCTC 23307T = BCRC 80260T). Emended descriptions of the genus Arcicella and of Arcicella aquatica , Arcicella rosea and Arcicella aurantiaca are also proposed.

A polyphasic taxonomic study was carried out on strains CHu50b-3-2T and CHu40b-3-1 isolated from a 67 cm-long sediment core collected from the Daechung Reservoir at a water depth of 17 m, Daejeon, Republic of Korea. The cells of the strains were Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile and rod-shaped. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence studies showed a clear affiliation of two strains with γ-Proteobacteria, which showed the highest pairwise sequence similarities to Lysobacter hankyongensis KTce-2T (96.5 %), Lysobacter pocheonensis Gsoil193T (96.3 %), Lysobacter ginsengisoli Gsoil 357T (96.1 %), Lysobacter solanacearum T20R-70T (96.1 %), Lysobacter brunescens KCTC 12130T (95.4 %) and Lysobacter capsici YC5194T (95.3 %). The phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strains formed a clear phylogenetic lineage with the genus Lysobacter . The major fatty acids were identified as summed feature 9 (iso-C17 : 1  ω9c and/or C18 : 1 10-methyl), iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0. The respiratory quinone was identified as ubiquinone Q-8. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and an unidentified phospholipid. The genomic DNA G+C content was determined to be 66.8 mol% (genome) for strain CHu50b-3-2T and 66.4 mol% (HPLC) for strain CHu40b-3-1. Based on the combined genotypic and phenotypic data, we propose that strains CHu50b-3-2T and CHu40b-3-1 represent a novel species of the genus Lysobacter , for which the name Lysobacter profundi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CHu50b-3-2T (=KCTC 72973T=CCTCC AB 2019129T). Besides Lysobacter panaciterrae Gsoil 068T formed a phylogenetic group together with strain Luteimonas aquatica RIB1-20T (EF626688) that is clearly separated from all other known Lysobacter strains. Based on the phylogenetic relationships together with fatty acid compositions, Lysobacter panaciterrae Gsoil 068T should be reclassified as a member of the genus Luteimonas: Luteimonas aquatica comb. nov. (type strain Gsoil 068T=KCTC 12601T=DSM 17927T).

A strictly aerobic, bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) a-containing alphaproteobacterium, designated strain K6T, was isolated from seawater around an aquaculture site in the Uwa Sea in Japan. The novel strain grew optimally at 30 °C at pH 7.0–7.5 and in the presence of 2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. The nonmotile and coccoid or rod-shaped cells formed pink-pigmented colonies on agar plates containing organic compounds. Cells showed an in vivo absorption maximum at 870 nm in the near-infrared region, indicating the presence of BChl a in the light-harvesting 1 complex. The new bacterial strain was Gram-stain-negative and oxidase- and catalase-positive. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain K6T was closely related to species in the genus Litoreibacter . The closest phylogenetic relatives of strain K6T were Litoreibacter ponti GJSW-31T (98.56 % sequence similarity), Litoreibacter janthinus KMM 3842T (97.63 %) and Litoreibacter albidus KMM 3851T (96.88 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 58.26 mol%. The average nucleotide identity value of strain K6T with the type strain of L. ponti was 77.16 % (SD 4.79 %). The digital DNA−DNA hybridization value of strain K6T with the type strain of L. ponti was 19.40 %. The respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. The major cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c, C16 : 0 and 11-methyl C18 : 1 ω7c. The dominant polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol. On the basis of the genetic and phenotypic data obtained in the present study, we propose a new species in the genus Litoreibacter : Litoreibacter roseus sp. nov., whose type strain is K6T (=DSM 110109T=NBRC 114114T). Strain K6T represents the first confirmed species that produces BChl a within the genus Litoreibacter .

Two novel strains, designated 92R-1T and 9PBR-1T, were isolated from abandoned lead–zinc ore collected in Meizhou, Guangdong Province, PR China. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that they fell into the genus of Hymenobacte r and formed two distinct lineages. Strain 92R-1T was most closely related to Hymenobacter wooponensis JCM 19491T (98.7 %) and Hymenobacter gelipurpurascens LMG 21873T (98.5 %), while strain 9PBR-1T was most closely related to Hymenobacter chitinivorans LMG 21951T (99.0 %), Hymenobacter elongatus JCM 17223T (98.7 %) and Hymenobacter aquaticus JCM 31653T (98.1 %). Strain 92R-1Tshared average nucleotide identity values of 80.0–83.7 % and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values of 23.1–27.1 % with its closely related type strains, respectively, while strain 9PBR-1T shared corresponding values of 80.3–83.2 % and 23.6–26.7 % with its closely related type strains, respectively. The two novel strains could be clearly distinguished from their closely related type strains by enzyme activities and substrates assimilation, respectively. Both of them took iso-C15:0, summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c), summed feature 4 (iso-C17:1 I and/or anteiso-C17:1 B) and C16:1 ω5c as major fatty acids, and showed clear differences from their closely relatives in the contents of several components. They contained menaquinone 7 as the major respiratory quinone and phosphatidylethanolamine as the dominant polar lipid. The G+C contents of strains 92R-1T and 9PBR-1T were 56.7 and 59.5 mol%, respectively. The results clearly supported that strains 92R-1T and 9PBR-1T represent two distinct novel species within the genus Hymenobacter , for which the names Hymenobacter fodinae sp. nov. (type strain 92R-1T=GDMCC 1.1493T=JCM 32697T) and Hymenobacter metallicola sp. nov. (type strain 9PBR-1T=GDMCC 1.1491T=JCM 32698T) are proposed.

A second novel clinical actinobacterial strain, designated IFM 10348T, was isolated from the sputum of the same Japanese patient with bacterial pneumonia from whom the type strain of Gordonia araii had been isolated. The strains differed in phylogenetic position and drug-resistance profiles. The taxonomic position of strain IFM 10348T was clarified by phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic studies. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences clearly demonstrated that strain IFM 10348T occupied a distinct clade within the genus Gordonia and was related closely to Gordonia malaquae DSM 45064T and Gordonia hirsuta DSM 44140T (97.3 and 97.1 % similarities, respectively). Strain IFM 10348T was also clearly differentiated from G. malaquae DSM 45064T and G. hirsuta DSM 44140T based on gyrB and secA1 gene sequence similarity values. Strain IFM 10348T had MK-9(H2) as the predominant menaquonine, contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, arabinose, galactose and glucosamine as cell-wall components, and contained C18 : 1ω9c, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) and C16 : 0 as the major cellular fatty acids. Mycolic acids were present. The DNA G+C content of strain IFM 10348T was 68.0 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness data coupled with the combination of genotypic and phenotypic data indicated that strain IFM 10348T represents a novel species of the genus Gordonia , for which the name Gordonia iterans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IFM 10348T ( = CCTCC M2011245T = NCCB 100436T).
