Two actinomycete strains, KK1-2T and CPB4-7, were isolated from marine sediments collected in Chumphon province, Thailand. Chumphon province, Thailand. Their taxonomic positions were determined using a polyphasic approach. The morphological, cultural and chemotaxonomic characteristics of these isolates were consistent with the classification of the strains as representing a member of the genus Streptomyces . They contained ll-diaminopimelic acid in their cell wall peptidoglycan; the whole-cell sugars were ribose and glucose. The predominant menaquinones were MK9-(H6) and MK9-(H8). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol mannosides. The predominant cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, these isolates were determined to be closely related to Streptomyces xinghaiensis JCM 16958T (98.2 %), Streptomyces rimosus subsp. paromomycinus JCM 4541T (98.1 %), Streptomyces sclerotialus JCM 4828T (98.1 %) and Streptomyces flocculus JCM 4476T (98.0 %). The G+C contents of the genomic DNA of strains KK1-2T and CPB4-7 were 73.3 and 74.2 mol%, respectively. They could be clearly distinguished from the related type strains by a low DNA–DNA relatedness and phenotypic differences. On the basis of these results, these strains represent a novel species of the genus Streptomyces , for which the name Streptomyces chumphonensis sp. nov. (type strain KK1-2T = JCM 18522T = TISTR 2106T = PCU 330T) is proposed.

A polyphasic study was carried out to establish the taxonomic position of an acidophilic isolate designated MMS16-CNU292T (=JCM 32302T) from pine grove soil, and provisionally assigned to the genus Kitasatospora . On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the strain formed a novel evolutionary lineage within Kitasatospora and showed highest similarities to Kitasatospora azatica KCTC 9699T (98.75 %), Kitasatospora kifunensis IFO 15206T (98.74 %), Kitasatospora purpeofusca NRRL B-1817T (98.61 %) and Kitasatospora nipponensis HKI 0315T (98.42 %), respectively. Strain MMS16-CNU292T possessed MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8) as the major menaquinones, and a major amount of meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The whole-cell hydrolysates were rich in galactose, glucose and mannose, and the polar lipids mainly consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol mannosides. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 1-A, anteiso-C15 : 0, and iso-C15 : 0, and the DNA G+C content was 71.5 mol%. The strain exhibited antibacterial activity against a number of bacterial strains, and the activity was generally greater when grown in acidic conditions. The phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic properties enabled distinction of MMS16-CNU292T from related species, and thus the isolate should be recognized as a new species of the genus Kitasatospora , for which the name Kitasatospora acidiphila sp. nov. (type strain=MMS16-CNU292T=KCTC 49011T=JCM 32302T) is proposed.

A Gram-reaction-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming and catalase-negative rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated IWT126T, was isolated from orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) silage preserved in Hachimantai, Iwate, Japan. The isolate showed growth at 15–45 °C, pH 3.5–7.5 and with 4.0 % (w/v) NaCl. The cell wall peptidoglycan did not contain meso-diaminopimelic acid, and the DNA G+C content was 45.6 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0 and C19 : 1 cyclo 9,10. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain IWT126T was classified as a member of the genus Lactobacillus and was most closely related to Lactobacillus odoratitofui YIT 11304T (98.7 %), Lactobacillus similis JCM 2765T (98.5 %), Lactobacillus collinoides JCM 1123T (97.6 %), Lactobacillus paracollinoides DSM 15502T (97.6 %) and Lactobacillus kimchicus DCY51T (96.9 %). Based on sequence analysis of the phenylalanyl-tRNA synthase α-subunit (pheS) gene, strain IWT126T was well separated from its phylogenetic neighbours in the genus Lactobacillus . Based on physiological, biochemical and genotypic results, as well as low DNA–DNA relatedness to recognized phylogenetic relatives in the genus Lactobacillus , classification of strain IWT126T as a representive of a novel species named Lactobacillus silagei sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IWT126T ( = JCM 19001T = DSM 27022T).

A thermophilic, aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, filamentous bacterium, strain PRI-4131T, was isolated from an intertidal hot spring in Isafjardardjup, NW Iceland. The strain grew chemo-organotrophically on various carbohydrates. The temperature range for growth was 40–65 °C (optimum 55 °C), the pH range was pH 6.5–9.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and the NaCl range was 0–3 % (w/v) (optimum 0.5 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain PRI-4131T represented a distinct lineage within the class Caldilineae of the phylum Chloroflexi. The highest levels of sequence similarity, about 91 %, were with Caldilinea aerophila STL-6-O1T and Caldilinea tarbellica D1-25-10-4T. Fermentative growth was not observed for strain PRI-4131T, which, in addition to other characteristics, distinguished it from the two Caldilinea species. Owing to both phylogenetic and phenotypic differences from the described members of the class Caldilineae , we propose to accommodate strain PRI-4131T in a novel species in a new genus, Litorilinea aerophila gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Litorilinea aerophila is PRI-4131T ( = DSM 25763T  = ATCC BAA-2444T).

Strain EGI 80088T formed fragmented aerial hyphae and short spore chains, and rod-like spores aggregated at maturity. Whole-cell hydrolysates of the isolate contained ll-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid, and glucosamine, mannose, galactose, glucose and rhamnose as the marker sugars. The major fatty acids identified (>5 %) were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 4 (iso-C17 : 1I/anteiso-C17 : 1B), iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain EGI 80088T was 70.6 mol%. EGI 80088T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to its closest phylogenetic neighbour Haloactinopolyspora alba YIM 93246T (98.5 %). The DNA–DNA relatedness value of the strain EGI 80088T and H. alba YIM 93246T was 59.3±5.2 %. On the basis of morphological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics and DNA–DNA hybridization data, strain EGI 80088T represents a novel species of the genus Haloactinopolyspora , for which the name Haloactinopolyspora alkaliphila sp. nov. (type strain EGI 80088T = BCRC 16946T = JCM 19128T) is proposed. The description of the genus Haloactinopolyspora has also been emended.

Strain VN07A0015T was isolated from soil collected on Cat Ba Island, Vietnam. The taxonomic position of strain VN07A0015T was near Streptomyces aomiensis M24DS4T (98.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Streptomyces scabrisporus NBRC 100760T (95.6 %), and it clustered within them; however, this cluster was distant from the type strains of other species of the genus Streptomyces . The aerial mycelia of strain VN07A0015T were greyish and formed imperfect spiral spore chains (retinaculiaperti type) with smooth-surfaced spores. The morphological features of strain VN07A0015T were different from those of the type strains of S. aomiensis and S. scabrisporus . The chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain VN07A0015T were typical for all members of the genus Streptomyces , which possessed ll-type diaminopimelic acid, menaquinone MK-9(H6, H8) and the major fatty acids iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain VN07A0015T and S. aomiensis NBRC 106164T was less than 30 %. In addition, some physiological and biochemical traits differed from those of S. aomiensis . Therefore, we propose that strain VN07A0015T be classified in the genus Streptomyces as a representative of Streptomyces catbensis sp. nov. (type strain VN07A0015T = VTCC-A-1889T = NBRC 107860T).

Two Gram-stain-positive, non-endospore-forming actinobacteria (Ca8Tand Ca14) were isolated from a bioreactor with extensive phosphorus removal. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons, strains Ca8T and Ca14 were shown to belong to the genus Gordonia and were most closely related to Gordonia hirsuta DSM 44140T (98.0 % sequence similarity) and Gordonia hydrophobica DSM 44015T (97.2 %). In comparison with the sequences of the type strains of all other species of the genus Gordonia tested, similarities were below 97 %. The quinone systems of the strains were determined to consist predominantly of MK-9H2. The polar lipid profile for both organisms consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phospatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol mannoside. Whole-organism hydrolysates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diamino acid of the peptidoglycan; mycolic acids were detected as well. These chemotaxonomic traits and the major fatty acids, which were C16 : 1 cis-9, C16 : 0 and C18 : 1 and tuberculostearic acid strongly supported the grouping of strains Ca8T and Ca14 into the genus Gordonia . The two strains showed a DNA–DNA similarity of 96 %. DNA–DNA hybridizations of strain Ca8T with G. hirsuta DSM 44140T and G. hydrophobica DSM 44015T resulted in values of 26.3 and 25.0 %, respectively. These results and those of the physiological and biochemical tests allowed a clear phenotypic differentiation of strains Ca8T and Ca14 from the most closely related species of the genus Gordonia . It is concluded that strains Ca8T and Ca14 represent a novel species, for which the name Gordonia phosphorivorans sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain Ca8T ( = DSM 45630T = CCUG 61533T = CCM 7957T = LMG 26648T).

A novel Gram-reaction-positive, rod-shaped, non-motile and mycolic acid-containing strain, CR3272T, isolated from soil, was studied using a polyphasic approach. The organism showed a combination of chemotaxonomic and morphological properties typical of the genus Nocardia . The cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid (type IV) and whole-cell sugars were galactose, glucose, arabinose and xylose. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H4cyc). The major phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol mannosides. Major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C18 : 1 cis9, C18 : 0 10-methyl (TBSA) and C16 : 1 cis9. The novel strain formed distinct phyletic line in the Nocardia 16S rRNA gene tree and was closely associated with Nocardia goodfellowii A2012T (98.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Nocardia alba YIM 30243T (98.5 %) and Nocardia caishijiensis F829T (97.9 %). However, DNA–DNA relatedness values and phenotypic data demonstrated that strain CR3272T was clearly distinguished from all closely related species of the genus Nocardia . It is concluded that the organism be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Nocardia , for which the name Nocardia sungurluensis is proposed. The type strain is CR3272T ( = DSM 45714T = KCTC 29094T).
