A novel Gram-stain-positive, short rod-shaped, non-flagellated and mesophilic strain, KIS12-7T, isolated from a soil sample collected from Daecheong-Island in Ongjin County, Republic of Korea, was studied using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic trees based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the novel strain was a member of the genus Gryllotalpicola , showing more than 97.0 % sequence similarity with Gryllotalpicola daejeonensis RU-04T (98.0 %), Gryllotalpicola koreensis RU-16T (97.7 %) and Gryllotalpicola kribbensis PU-02T (97.3 %). However, DNA–DNA relatedness values demonstrated that strain KIS12-7T could be clearly distinguished from closely related species of the genus Gryllotalpicola . The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strain KIS12-7T was of the type B2 and the acyl type was acetyl. The predominant menaquinones were MK-11 and MK-10. Polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, one unknown phosphoglycolipid, one unknown glycolipid, one unknown phospholipid and one unknown lipid. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 72.1 mol%. On the basis of the evidence presented, strain KIS12-7T is a representative of a novel species of the genus Gryllotalpicola , and the name Gryllotalpicola soli sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is KIS12-7T ( = DSM 27182T = KACC 17302T = NBRC 109659T).

A Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterial strain, 5116S-4T, was isolated from an air sample collected in Suwon city, Republic of Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that this strain was a new member of the family Microbacteriaceae . The sequence similarities of this strain to the members of the family Microbacteriaceae were less than 97 %, with the highest values observed with Cryobacterium mesophilum MSL-15T (96.3 %), Cryobacterium roopkundense RuGl7T (96.2 %), Labedella gwakjiensis KSW2-17T (96.2 %), Cryobacterium luteum Hh15T (96.2 %), Cryobacterium psychrophilum DSM 4854T (96.2 %), Klugiella xanthotipulae 44C3T (96.0 %) and Amnibacterium kyonggiense KSL51201-037T (96.0 %). According to the phylogenetic tree, strain 5116S-4T formed a cluster with A. kyonggiense KSL51201-037T, Labedella gwakjiensis KSW2-17T and Lysinimonas soli SGM3-12T (95.3 % sequence similarity) on the support of high bootstrap values. Cells were motile with single polar flagellum and showed optimum growth at 30 °C and pH 7 without NaCl. Predominant cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. Polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, dimannosyldiacylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, one unknown glycolipid, one unknown phospholipid and one unknown lipid. The acyl type of the cell-wall muramic acid was the acetyl type. Peptidoglycan was supposed to be the type B1 with 2,4-diaminobutyric acid on position 3. Strain 5116S-4T was clearly distinguishable from the phylogenetically related genera in the family Microbacteriaceae in terms of chemotaxonomic characteristics. On the basis of the chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics, a novel genus and species are proposed, Naasia aerilata gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Naasia aerilata is 5116S-4T ( = KACC 15517T  = NBRC 108725T).

A novel bacterium, designated BD-1T, was isolated from a sludge sample. Cells of the novel Gram-stain-negative strain were identified to be facultative anaerobic, non-motile and short rod-shaped. Growth occurred at 15–37 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 5.0–10.0 (pH 7.0) and in 0–4.0  % NaCl (2.0 %, w/v). The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain BD-1T showed the highest sequence similarity to Ottowia thiooxydans DSM 14619T (97.0 %), followed by Ottowia pentelensis DSM 21699T (96.3 %) and less than 96 % to other related strains. The phylogenetic trees revealed that strain BD-1T clustered within the genus Ottowia . Summed feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c, 48.2 %), C16 : 0 (23.2 %) and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c and/or C18 : 1  ω6c, 8.6 %) were the major fatty acids (>5 %), and ubiquinone-8 was the respiratory quinone. Phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol were identified as the major polar lipids. Meanwhile, the G+C content of the DNA was 63.6 mol% based on the draft genome analysis. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain BD-1T and DSM 14619T were 74.5 and 21.4  %, respectively. In addition, the novel strain completely degraded 500 mg l−1 phenylacetic acid within 72 h under the condition of 3 % NaCl. Given the results of genomic, phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses, strain BD-1T was considered to represent a novel species of the genus Ottowia , for which the name Ottowia caeni sp. nov. is proposed. The strain is a potential resource for the bioremediation of phenylacetic acid contaminated water. The type strain is BD-1T (=CGMCC 1.18541T=KCTC 82183T).

Enrichment cultures inoculated with hydrothermally influenced nearshore sediment from Papua New Guinea led to the isolation of an arsenic-tolerant, acidophilic, facultatively aerobic bacterial strain designated PNG-AprilT. Cells of this strain were Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, motile and did not form spores. Strain PNG-AprilT grew at temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C (optimum 30–37 °C), at pH 3.5 to 8.3 (optimum pH 5–6) and in the presence of up to 2.7 % NaCl (optimum 0–1.0 %). Both arsenate and arsenite were tolerated up to concentrations of at least 0.5 mM. Metabolism in strain PNG-AprilT was strictly respiratory. Heterotrophic growth occurred with O2 or nitrate as electron acceptors, and aerobic lithoautotrophic growth was observed with thiosulfate or nitrite as electron donors. The novel isolate was capable of N2-fixation. The respiratory quinones were Q-8 and Q-7. Phylogenetically, strain PNG-AprilT belongs to the genus Burkholderia and shares the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with the type strains of Burkholderia fungorum (99.8 %), Burkholderia phytofirmans (98.8 %), Burkholderia caledonica (98.4 %) and Burkholderia sediminicola (98.4 %). Differences from these related species in several physiological characteristics (lipid composition, carbohydrate utilization, enzyme profiles) and DNA–DNA hybridization suggested the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Burkholderia , for which we propose the name Burkholderia insulsa sp. nov. The type strain is PNG-AprilT ( = DSM 28142T = LMG 28183T).

A novel actinobacterium, designated strain F22T, was isolated from grassland soil collected from the Ziwuling area on the Loess Plateau, China. The novel strain was found to have morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics typical of members of the genus Streptomyces . Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain F22T belonged to the genus Streptomyces , being most closely related to Streptomyces resistomycificus NBRC 12814T (98.28 % sequence similarity), Streptomyces ciscaucasicus NBRC 12872T (98.14 %), Streptomyces chartreusis NBRC 12753T (98.14 %) and Streptomyces canus NRRL B-1989T (98.14 %). In DNA–DNA hybridizations and comparisons of morphological and phenotypic data, strain F22T could be distinguished from all of its closest phylogenetic relatives. Strain F22T exhibited antibacterial and antifungal activity, especially against Staphylococcus aureus , Bacillus subtilis and Cylindrocarpon destructans. Based on the DNA–DNA hybridization data and morphological, phenotypic and phylogenetic evidence, strain F22T represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces , for which the name Streptomyces ziwulingensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is F22T ( = CCNWFX 0001T = JCM 18081T = ACCC41875T).

Members of the metabolically diverse order Nitrosomonadales inhabit a wide range of environments. Two strains affiliated with this order were isolated from soils in Germany and characterized by a polyphasic approach. Cells of strains 0125_3T and Swamp67T are Gram-negative rods, non-motile, non-spore-forming, non-capsulated and divide by binary fission. They tested catalase-negative, but positive for cytochrome c-oxidase. Both strains form small white colonies on agar plates and grow aerobically and chemoorganotrophically on SSE/HD 1 : 10 medium, preferably utilizing organic acids and proteinaceous substrates. Strains 0125_3T and Swamp67T are mesophilic and grow optimally without NaCl addition at slightly alkaline conditions. Major fatty acids are C16 : 1  ω7c, C16 : 0 and C14 : 0. The major polar lipids are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidyglycerol. The predominant respiratory quinone is Q-8. The G+C content for 0125_3T and Swamp67T was 67 and 66.1 %, respectively. The 16S rRNA gene analysis indicated that the closest relatives (<91 % sequence similarity) of strain 0125_3T were Nitrosospira multiformis ATCC 25196T, Methyloversatilis universalis FAM5T and Denitratisoma oestradiolicum AcBE2-1T, while Nitrosospira multiformis ATCC 25196T, Nitrosospira tenuis Nv1T and Nitrosospira lacus APG3T were closest to strain Swamp67T. The two novel strains shared 97.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with one another and show low average nucleotide identity of their genomes (83.8 %). Based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, genomic and phylogenetic analysis, we propose the two novel species Usitatibacter rugosus sp. nov (type strain 0125_3T=DSM 104443T=LMG 29998T=CECT 9241T) and Usitatibacter palustris sp. nov. (type strain Swamp67T=DSM 104440T=LMG 29997T=CECT 9242T) of the novel genus Usitatibacter gen. nov., within the novel family Usitatibacteraceae fam. nov.
