A Gram-staining-negative bacterium, strain DSG-S4-2T, was isolated from Dasugan Lake, a saline lake (salinity 3.1 %, w/v) in Qaidam basin, Qinghai, China and its taxonomic position was determined by using a polyphasic approach. Cells of strain DSG-S4-2T were non-spore-forming rods, 0.5–0.8 µm wide and 1.2–3.8 µm long and motile by means of a single polar flagellum. Strain DSG-S4-2T was strictly heterotrophic and aerobic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. PufLM and coxL genes were present, bacteriochlorophyll a (BChl a) and a carotenoid pigment were produced. Growth was observed in the presence of 0–8.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1.0–2.0 %), at 20–40 °C (optimum, 35 °C) and pH 6.5–10.5 (optimum, pH 7.5–8.0). Strain DSG-S4-2T contained Q-10 as the sole respiratory quinone. The polar lipids contained two aminolipids, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, sulphoquinovosyldiacylglyceride, phosphatidylcholine and some unknown phospholipids, like the other members of the genus Roseibium . The predominant fatty acid (>70 %) was summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c). The DNA G+C content was 61.4 mol% (determined from melting temperature). Phylogenetic trees (neighbour-joining, maximum-likelihood and maximum-parsimony) based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DSG-S4-2T was associated with the members of the genus Roseibium , with highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Roseibium denhamense OCh 254T (96.3 %) and Roseibium hamelinense OCh 368T (96.3 %). Based on the data presented above, it is concluded that strain DSG-S4-2T represents a novel species of the genus Roseibium , for which the name Roseibium aquae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DSG-S4-2T ( = CGMCC 1.12426T = JCM 19310T).

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain SH27T, which was isolated from seawater collected around Xiaoshi Island, PR China. Cells of strain SH27T were Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped, orange-pigmented and grew at 15–37 °C (optimum, 28 °C), at pH 6.0–8.0 (pH 7.0) and in 1.0–7.0 % (w/v) NaCl (2.0–3.0 %). The isolate was positive for catalase, but negative for nitrate reduction, oxidase, indole production and urease. Carotenoid pigment was produced. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene placed strain SH27T in the genus Dokdonia with the closest relative being Dokdonia donghaensis KCTC 12391T, exhibiting 96.7 % 16S rRNA gene pairwise similarity. The results of genomic comparisons, including average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization, showed 72.9 and 19.2 % identity to D. donghaensis KCTC 12391T, respectively. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified lipids. Menaquinone-6 was the only respiratory quinone. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 32.9 mol%. On the basis of the phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain SH27T represents a novel species of the genus Dokdonia , for which the name Dokdonia sinensis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain SH27T (MCCC 1H00358T=CCTCC AB 2018323T=KCTC 62962T).

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated SW123T, was isolated from a deep-sea water sample collected from the Indian Ocean. Strain SW123T was strictly aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and summed feature 9 (comprising C16 : 0-methyl or iso-C17 : 1 ω9c). Ubiquinone-8 was the sole respiratory quinone. The major polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The genomic DNA G+C content was 49.4 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain SW123T was closely related to Aliidiomarina shirensis AIST (96.7 % sequence similarity), Aliidiomarina iranensis GBPy7T (96.3%), Aliidiomarina haloalkalitolerans AK5T (96.0%) and Aliidiomarina celeris F3105T (95.9%). Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SW123T represented a novel member of the genus Aliidiomarina , forming a distinct cluster with A. celeris F3105T. On the basis of phylogenetic inference and phenotypic characteristics, we propose that strain SW123T represents a novel species of the genus Aliidiomarina , with the name Aliidiomarina indica sp. nov. The type strain is SW123T (=CGMCC1.16169T=KCTC 82234T).
