A novel Gram-staining-negative, motile, non-pigmented, facultatively anaerobic, spirillum-shaped, halophilic and alkaliphilic bacterium, designated strain GCWy1T, was isolated from water of the coastal–marine wetland Gomishan in Iran. The strain was able to grow at NaCl concentrations of 1–10 % (w/v) and optimal growth was achieved at 3 % (w/v). The optimum pH and temperature for growth were pH 8.5 and 30 °C, while the strain was able to grow at pH 7.5–10 and 4–40 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on the comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequence placed the isolate within the class Gammaproteobacteria as a separate deep branch, with 92.1 % or lower sequence similarity to representatives of the genera Saccharospirillum and Reinekea and less than 91.0 % sequence similarity with other remotely related genera. The major cellular fatty acids of the isolate were C18 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0 and C17 : 0, and the major components of its polar lipid profile were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The cells of strain GCWy1T contained the isoprenoid quinones Q-9 and Q-8 (81 % and 2 %, respectively). The G+C content of the genomic DNA of this strain was 52.3 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis in combination with chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, strain GCWy1T represents a novel species in a new genus in the family ‘ Saccharospirillaceae ’, order Oceanospirillales , for which the name Salinispirillum marinum gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is GCWy1T ( = IBRC-M 10765T = CECT 8342T).

A Gram-reaction-negative, non-spore-forming strain, designated 5DNS001T, was isolated from soil of an ancient salt-extracting facility in China. Analysis of the almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequence of the bacterium suggested that it belongs to the genus Sinomicrobium in the family Flavobacteriaceae . It exhibited highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Sinomicrobium oceani SCSIO 03483T (96.3 %), but less than 93 % sequence similarity with members of the genera Imtechella , Zhouia and Joostella and other recognized members of the family Flavobacteriaceae . The strain was able to hydrolyse pectin and starch by producing pectinase and α-amylase. The DNA G+C content of the strain was 42.6 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was MK-6. The major polar lipid detected in the strain was phosphatidylethanolamine. The dominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c/C16 : 1ω7c). Based on phenotypic, genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses, a novel species, Sinomicrobium pectinilyticum, is proposed. The type strain is 5DNS001T ( = CGMCC1.11000T = KCTC23776T).

Strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427 were isolated from the caecal content of a chicken and produced butyric, lactic and formic acids as major metabolic end products. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427 were 40.4 and 38.8 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, both strains were most closely related to the generically misclassified Streptococcus pleomorphus ATCC 29734T. Strain LMG 27428T could be distinguished from S. pleomorphus ATCC 29734T based on production of more lactic acid and less formic acid in M2GSC medium, a higher DNA G+C content and the absence of activities of acid phosphatase and leucine, arginine, leucyl glycine, pyroglutamic acid, glycine and histidine arylamidases, while strain LMG 27428 was biochemically indistinguishable from S. pleomorphus ATCC 29734T. The novel genus Faecalicoccus gen. nov. within the family Erysipelotrichaceae is proposed to accommodate strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427. Strain LMG 27428T ( = DSM 26963T) is the type strain of Faecalicoccus acidiformans sp. nov., and strain LMG 27427 ( = DSM 26962) is a strain of Faecalicoccus pleomorphus comb. nov. (type strain LMG 17756T = ATCC 29734T = DSM 20574T). Furthermore, the nearest phylogenetic neighbours of the genus Faecalicoccus are the generically misclassified Eubacterium cylindroides DSM 3983T (94.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to strain LMG 27428T) and Eubacterium biforme DSM 3989T (92.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to strain LMG 27428T). We present genotypic and phenotypic data that allow the differentiation of each of these taxa and propose to reclassify these generically misnamed species of the genus Eubacterium formally as Faecalitalea cylindroides gen. nov., comb. nov. and Holdemanella biformis gen. nov., comb. nov., respectively. The type strain of Faecalitalea cylindroides is DSM 3983T = ATCC 27803T = JCM 10261T and that of Holdemanella biformis is DSM 3989T = ATCC 27806T = CCUG 28091T.

Two Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped and endospore-forming bacteria, designated WM-1T and WM-4, were isolated from a paddy soil and a forest soil, respectively, in South China. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that both strains were members of the genus Oceanobacillus and most closely related to Oceanobacillus chironomi LMG 23627T with pairwise sequence similarity of 96.0 %. The isolates contained menaquinone-7 (MK-7) as the respiratory quinone and anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids (>10 %). Polar lipids consisted of a predominance of diphosphatidylglycerol and moderate to minor amounts of phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The DNA G+C content was 38.6–39.2 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain WM-1T displayed 99.7 % similarity to that of strain WM-4, and DNA–DNA hybridization between the two strains showed a relatedness value of 91 %. Based on the results of this polyphasic study, strains WM-1T and WM-4 represent a novel species in the genus Oceanobacillus , for which the name Oceanobacillus luteolus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WM-1T ( = KCTC 33119T = CGMCC 1.12406T).

A novel actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-TCZ24T, was isolated from soil and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the organism should be assigned to the genus Cellulomonas and formed a stable clade with its closest relatives Cellulomonas terrae JCM 14899T (98.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Cellulomonas xylanilytica JCM 14281T (97.9 %) and Cellulomonas humilata JCM 11945T (97.7 %). The major menaquinones were identified as MK-9(H4) and MK-8(H4). The phospholipid profile was found to contain diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositolmannoside, a ninhydrin-positiveglycolipid, an unidentified phosphoglycolipid, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified lipid. The major fatty acids were identified as anteiso-C15 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c, C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. Moreover, morphological and chemotaxonomic properties of NEAU-TCZ24T also confirmed the affiliation of the isolate to the genus Cellulomonas . However, multilocus sequence analysis based on five other house-keeping genes (gyrB, rpoB, recA, relA and atpD), DNA–DNA relatedness, physiological and biochemical data indicated that NEAU-TCZ24T could be distinguished from its closest relatives. Therefore, it is proposed that NEAU-TCZ24T represents a novel species of the genus Cellulomonas , for which the name Cellulomonas rhizosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-TCZ24T (=CCTCC AA 2018042T=JCM 32383T).

Growth of strain AGMB03916T occurred at 30–45 °C (optimum, 37 °C), at pH 6–9 (optimum, pH 8) and in the presence of 0.5–1.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Based on the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, strain AGMB03916T was closely related to two validly published species of the genus Phocaeicola , Phocaeicola plebeius and Phocaeicola coprocola . The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of strain AGMB03916T compared to P. plebeius M12T (=KCTC 5793T) and P. coprocola M16T (=KCTC 5443T) were 96.3 and 95.0 %, respectively. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain AGMB03916T was 46.4 mol%. The average nucleotide identity values between strain AGMB03916T and the reference strains were 74.9–78.5 %. Cells were able to utilize d-glucose, lactose, sucrose, maltose, salicin, aesculin hydrolysis, cellobiose and raffinose. The major end product of metabolism was acetate. The major cellular fatty acids (>10 %) of the isolate were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, C16 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 11 (iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and/or C18 : 2 DMA). On the basis of the genotypic, biochemical, chemotaxonomic, phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain AGMB03916T represents a novel species of the genus Phocaeicola , for which the name Phocaeicola faecicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AGMB03916T (=KCTC 25014T=GDMCC 1.2574T).

A Gram-staining-negative, non-motile, spore-forming, rod-shaped, marine bacterial strain, CL-KR2T, was isolated from tropical seawater near Kosrae, an island in the Federated States of Micronesia. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain CL-KR2T revealed a clear affiliation with the genus Gracilimonas . Based on phylogenetic analysis, strain CL-KR2T showed the closest phylogenetic relationship to Gracilimonas tropica CL-CB462T, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 96.6 %. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain CL-KR2T and G. tropica CL-CB462T was 6.7 % (reciprocal 9.5 %). Strain CL-KR2T grew in the presence of 1–20 % sea salts and the optimal salt concentration was 3.5–5 %. The temperature and pH optima for growth were 35 °C and pH 7.5. The major cellular fatty acids (≥10.0 %) of strain CL-KR2T were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c) and iso-C17 : 1ω9c and the only isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid, two unidentified glycolipids and two unidentified lipids. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain CL-KR2T was 43.2 mol%. The combined phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data showed that strain CL-KR2T could be distinguished from the only member of the genus Gracilimonas with a validly published name. Thus, strain CL-KR2T should be assigned to a novel species in the genus Gracilimonas , for which the name Gracilimonas rosea sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CL-KR2T ( = KCCM 90206T = JCM 18898T).

A novel actinomycete, strain A4036T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from the Jabi district in Abuja, Nigeria. The taxonomic position of strain A4036T was established using a combination of genotypic and phenotypic analyses. The organism formed extensively branched substrate and aerial hyphae that generated spiral chains of spores with warty surfaces. The cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and the cell-wall sugars were glucose, madurose, mannose and ribose. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine, hydroxy-phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, two unidentified phospholipids and four unknown glucosamine-containing phospholipids. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0 2-OH, iso-C16 : 0 and 10-methyl C17 : 0. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, strain A4036T grouped in the genus Nonomuraea , being most closely related to Nonomuraea angiospora IFO 13155T (99.05 %), Nonomuraea candida HMC10T (98.78 %), Nonomuraea kuesteri GW 14-1925T (98.49 %), Nonomuraea endophytica YIM 65601T (98.42 %), Nonomuraea maheshkhaliensis 16-5-14T (98.40 %), Nonomuraea turkmeniaca DSM 43926T (98.38 %), Nonomuraea helvata IFO 14681T (98.29 %), Nonomuraea rubra DSM 43768T (98.10 %) and Nonomuraea salmonea DSM 43678T (98.06 %). Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the type strains of other species of the genus Nonomuraea were <98 %. Despite the high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, DNA–DNA relatedness values and phenotypic data demonstrated that strain A4036T was clearly distinguished from all closely related species of the genus Nonomuraea . Thus, this isolate is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Nonomuraea , for which the name Nonomuraea jabiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is A4036T ( = DSM 45507T = KCTC 19870T).

Two Gram-stain-positive, diesel oil-degrading, solvent-tolerant, aerobic, endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria were isolated from a contaminated laboratory plate. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strains JC228T and JC279 were identified as belonging to the genus Bacillus within the family Bacillaceae of the phylum Firmicutes and were found to be most closely related to Bacillus carboniphilus JCM 9731T (98.1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and shared <96.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with other members of the genus Bacillus . The DNA–DNA hybridization value between the two strains was 88±2 %. Strain JC228T showed 23.4±1 % reassociation (based on DNA–DNA hybridization) with B. carboniphilus LMG 18001T. The DNA G+C content of strains JC228T and JC279 was 39 and 38.4 mol%, respectively. Both strains were positive for catalase and oxidase activities, and negative for hydrolysis of starch and Tween 80. Strains JC228T and JC279 grew chemoorganoheterotrophically with optimum growth at pH 7 (range pH 7–9.5) and 35 °C (range 25–40 °C). Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified phospholipid (PL2) were the major polar lipids. Major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and C16 : 0. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained l-alanine, d-alanine, d-glutamic acid and meso-diaminopimelic acid. Both strains utilized diesel oil as sole carbon and energy source. The results of physiological, biochemical, chemotaxonomic and molecular analyses allowed clear differentiation of strains JC228T and JC279 from their closest phylogenetic neighbours. Therefore strains JC228T and JC279 represent a novel species of the genus Bacillus , for which the name Bacillus oleivorans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JC228T ( = LMG 28084T = CCTCC AB 2013353T).

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, oxidase-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile bacterium (strain 280T) isolated from a chicken was studied for its taxonomic allocation. 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses clearly allocated the isolate in the genus Paenochrobactrum group with a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 98.8 % to the currently recognized species, Paenochrobactrum gallinarii and Paenochrobactrum glaciei . This allocation was confirmed by the fatty acid data (major fatty acids: C18 : 1ω7c and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c) and a polyamine pattern with the major compound putrescine and relatively high amounts of spermidine. Also, the polar lipid profile with phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatiylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and the genus-specific ‘stretched aminolipid’ was well in line with the description of the genus Paenochrobactrum . The quinone system consisted predominantly of ubiquinone Q-10 with traces of Q-9 and Q-11. DNA–DNA hybridization of strain 280T with Paenochrobactrum gallinarii Sa25T and Paenochrobactrum glaciei KMM 3858T showed relatedness values of 38.8 % (reciprocal 20.2 %) and 30.2 % (reciprocal 29.8 %), respectively. These results in combination with differentiating physiological and biochemical data clearly showed that strain 280T merits species status. We propose the name Paenochrobactrum pullorum sp. nov. to accommodate this strain with the type strain 280T ( = LMG 28095T = CIP 110700T).

A taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach was performed on a Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain PB156T, isolated from grass soil. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence studies showed that the isolate was clearly affiliated with the phylum Bacteroidetes , and most closely related to Hymenobacter soli PB17T, Hymenobacter antarcticus VUG-A42aaT and Hymenobacter glaciei VUG-A130T, showing 96.4, 96.2 and 95.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively, while all other species of the genus shared only 89.3–95.2 % similarity. The main polyamine present was sym-homospermidine. The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The major fatty acids were C15 : 0 iso, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c/t), C16 : 1ω5c and C15 : 0 anteiso. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain PB156T was 61.7 mol%. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data supported the conclusion that strain PB156T represents a novel species of the genus Hymenobacter , for which the name Hymenobacter ruber sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PB156T ( = KCTC 32477T = JCM 19433T).
