A yellowish-pigmented bacterium, designated strain PLGR-1T, was isolated from the root of Bergenia scopulosa collected from Taibai Mountain in Shaanxi Province, north-west China, and was subjected to a taxonomic study by using a polyphasic approach. Cells of strain PLGR-1T were Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming and motile with a single polar flagellum. Growth occurred at 7–33 °C (optimum, 25–28 °C), at pH 5.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 6.0–7.0) and with 0–0.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 %). The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8) and the major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), C16 : 0 and summed feature 8 (comprising C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c). The major polyamines were putrescine and 2-hydroxyputrescine and the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The DNA G+C content was 69.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain PLGR-1T belonged to the class Betaproteobacteria and formed a tight phyletic lineage with members of the genus Rhizobacter . Strain PLGR-1T was most closely related to Rhizobacter dauci DSM 11587T and Rhizobacter fulvus DSM 19916T, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 98.5 and 98.0 %, respectively. The DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain PLGR-1T and the type strains of Rhizobacter dauci and Rhizobacter fulvus were 46.3 and 14.7 %, respectively. Based on the phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic data, strain PLGR-1T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Rhizobacter , for which the name Rhizobacter bergeniae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PLGR-1T ( = CCTCC AB 2013018T = KCTC 32299T = LMG 27607T).

A marine alphaproteobacterium, designated as strain GH3-10T, was isolated from the rhizosphere mud of a halophyte (Suaeda japonica) collected at the seashore of Gangwha Island, Republic of Korea. The isolate was found to be Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, non-motile, short rods and produced orange-coloured colonies. The 16S rRNA gene- and whole genome-based phylogenetic analyses exhibited that strain GH3-10T belonged to the genus Aurantiacibacter and was most closely related to Aurantiacibacter atlanticus s21-N3T (98.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Aurantiacibacter marinus KCTC 23554T (98.4 %). The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, sphingoglycolipid and an unidentified lipid. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1  ω7c, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c) and C18 : 1  ω7c 10-methyl. The DNA G+C content was 61.3 mol% (by genome). Average nucleotide identity and DNA–DNA relatedness values between the isolate and its phylogenetically closest relatives, together with phenotypic distinctness warranted the taxonomic description of a new species. On the basis of data obtained by a polyphasic approach, strain GH3-10T (=KCTC 62379T=JCM 32444T) represents a novel species of the genus Aurantiacibacter , for which the name Aurantiacibacter rhizosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed. According to phylogenetic coherence based on 16S rRNA genes and core genomes, it is also proposed that Erythrobacter suaedae Lee et al. 2019. and Erythrobacter flavus Yoon et al. 2003 be transferred to Aurantiacibacter suaedae comb. nov. and Qipengyuania flava comb. nov., respectively.

The taxonomic position of an unknown bacterial strain designated CNM695-12, isolated from the blood of an immunocompromised subject, was investigated via phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, genotypic and genomic analyses. Bacterial cells were determined to be Gram-stain-negative bacilli, aerobic, non-motile and non-spore-forming. The strain showed catalase activity but no oxidase activity. Optimal growth occurred at 37 °C, pH 7 and with 0–1 % NaCl. C16 : 0, summed feature 8 (comprising C18 : 1ω7c /C18:1 ω6c), and C18 : 1ω9c were the most abundant fatty acids, and ubiquinone 8 was the major respiratory quinone. The polar lipids present included phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and other aminophospholipids. The 16S rRNA gene sequence showed approximately 93.5 % similarity to those of different species with validly published names within the order Burkholderiales (e.g. Leptothrix mobilis Feox-1T, Aquabacterium commune B8T , Aquabacterium citratiphilum B4T and Schlegelella thermodepolymerans K14T). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and concatenated alignments including the sequences for 107 essential proteins, revealed the strain to form a novel lineage close to members of the family Comamonadaceae . The highest average nucleotide identity and average amino acid identity values were obtained with Schlegelella thermodepolymerans K14T (69.6 and 55.7 % respectively). The genome, with a size of 3.35 Mb, had a DNA G+C content of 52.4 mol% and encoded 3056 predicted genes, 3 rRNA, 1 transfer–messengerRNA and 51 tRNA. Strain CNM695-12 thus represents a novel species belonging to a novel genus within the order Burkholderiales , for which the name Saezia sanguinis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CNM695-12T (=DSM 104959T=CECT 9208T).
