A taxonomic study was carried out on bacterial strain H3T, which was isolated from the toxic marine diatom Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries. Cells of strain H3T were Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile and capable of reducing nitrate to nitrite, but not denitrification. Growth was observed at NaCl concentrations of 1–9 %, pH 6–12 and 10–37 °C. It was unable to degrade aesculin or gelatin. The dominant fatty acids (>10 %) were C18 : 1ω7c/ω6c (summed feature 8) and C16 : 0. The respiratory ubiquinone was Q10. The major lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an aminolipid and one unknown lipid, and the minor lipids were two phospholipids and three unknown lipids. The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 61.7 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison showed that strain H3T was related most closely to Sulfitobacter donghicola DSW-25T (97.3 % similarity) and levels of similarity with other species of the genus Sulfitobacter were 95.1–96.9 %. The mean (±sd) DNA–DNA hybridization value between strain H3T and Sulfitobacter donghicola DSW-25T was 18.0±2.25 %. The average nucleotide identity between strain H3T and Sulfitobacter donghicola DSW-25T was 70.45 %. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain H3T formed a separate clade close to the genus Sulfitobacter and was distinguishable from phylogenetically related species by differences in several phenotypic properties. On the basis of the phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain H3T represents a novel species of the genus Sulfitobacter , for which the name Sulfitobacter pseudonitzschiae is proposed (type strain H3T = DSM 26824T = MCCC 1A00686T).

A Gram-staining-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, non-flagellated, non-gliding, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain T-y7T, was isolated from seawater collected in an oyster farm in the South Sea, South Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic study. Strain T-y7T grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. In phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain T-y7T fell within a clade comprising Bizionia species. It formed a coherent cluster with the type strains of Bizionia algoritergicola , B. argentinensis , B. echini and B. myxarmorum , with which it exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 97.4–98.9 % and mean DNA–DNA relatedness values of 11–27 %. Strain T-y7T had MK-6 as its predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 1 G, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH), iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH as its major fatty acids. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminolipid and one unidentified lipid. The genomic DNA G+C content was 37.1 mol%. Its phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness and differential phenotypic properties revealed that strain T-y7T does not belong to any established Bizionia species. On the basis of the data presented, strain T-y7T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Bizionia , for which the name Bizionia hallyeonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is T-y7T ( = KCTC 23881T  = CCUG 62110T).

Chakrabartia godavariana PRB40T was compared with Aestuariisphingobium litorale SYSU M10002T to examine the taxonomic relationship between the two type strains. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of C. godavariana PRB40T had high similarity (99.8 %) to that of A. litorale SYSU M10002T. The results of phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the two strains formed a tight cluster within the genus Chakrabartia . A draft genomic comparison between the two strains revealed an average nucleotide identity of 97.3 % and a digital DNA–DNA hybridization estimate of 79.5±2.9 %, strongly indicating that the two strains represented a single species. In addition, neither strain displayed any striking differences in metabolic, physiological or chemotaxonomic features. Therefore, we propose that Aestuariisphingobium litorale is a later heterotypic synonym of Chakrabartia godavariana .
