Sequence Similarity Analysis

A facultatively anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium, strain N-10T, was isolated from the gut of the termite Reticulitermes speratus. Strain N-10T was closely related to Dysgonomonas gadei JCM 16698T according to 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity analysis (98 %) and DNA–DNA relatedness value (≤61.3 %). The optimum growth temperature of strain N-10T was 30 °C, which was distinct from that (37 °C) of known species of the genus Dysgonomonas . Growth of strain N-10T was inhibited on medium containing 5 or 20 % bile, unlike other species of the genus Dysgonomonas . In addition, acid production in the API 20A system and enzymic reactions in the Rapid ID 32A system of strain N-10T differed from those of other species of the genus Dysgonomonas . Based on these characteristics, strain N-10T represents a novel species of the genus Dysgonomonas , for which the name Dysgonomonas termitidis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is N-10T ( = JCM 30204T = CCUG 66188T).

Ph Range

A novel anaerobic, endospore-forming bacterium (strain M08 DMBT) was isolated from a terrestrial mud volcano (Taman Peninsula, Russia). Cells of the strain were motile rods 1.3–2.0 µm long and 0.4 µm in diameter. The temperature range for growth was 5–42 °C, with an optimum at 30 °C. The pH range for growth was H 6.5–11.0, with an optimum at pH 8.0. Growth of strain M08 DMBT was observed at NaCl concentrations of 0–5.0 % (w/v) with an optimum at 1.0 %. Strain M08 DMBT utilized 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid, 2-methoxyphenol, carbon monoxide, glucose, fructose, mannose, xylose and yeast extract. The end product of glucose fermentation was acetate. The DNA G+C content of strain M08 DMBT was 32.3 mol% (obtained via whole genome sequencing). The closest phylogenetic relative of strain M08 DMBT was Alkalibaculum bacchi (family Eubacteriaceae , class Clostridia ) with 95.17 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Based on the phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic characteristics of the isolate, strain M08 DMBT is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Alkalibaculum , for which the name Alkalibaculum sporogenes sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Alkalibaculum sporogenes is M08 DMBT (=KCTC 15840T=VKM B-3387T).

The 16S Rrna Gene

Two strains (J3-AN59T and J3-N84) of Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped bacteria were isolated from the roots of fresh rice plants. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity results showed that the similarity between strains J3-AN59T and J3-N84 was 100 %. Both strains were phylogenetically related to members of the genus Rhizobium , and they were most closely related to Rhizobium tarimense ACCC 06128T (97.43 %). Similarities in the sequences of housekeeping genes between strains J3-AN59T and J3-N84 and those of recognized species of the genus Rhizobium were less than 90 %. The polar lipid profiles of both strains were predominantly composed of phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and an unknown aminophospholipid. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c) and C16 : 0. The DNA G+C contents of J3-AN59T and J3-N84 were 55.7 and 57.1 mol%, respectively. The DNA–DNA relatedness value between J3-AN59T and J3-N84 was 89 %, and strain J3-AN59T showed 9 % DNA–DNA relatedness to R. tarimense ACCC 06128T, the most closely related strain. Based on this evidence, we found that J3-AN59T and J3-N84 represent a novel species in the genus Rhizobium and we propose the name Rhizobium rhizoryzae sp. nov. The type strain is J3-AN59T ( = ACCC 05916T = KCTC 23652T).

Characteristic Features

Bacterial strains 2APBS1T and 116-2 were isolated from the subsurface of a nuclear legacy waste site where the sediments are co-contaminated with large amounts of acids, nitrate, metal radionuclides and other heavy metals. A combination of physiological and genetic assays indicated that these strains represent the first member of the genus Rhodanobacter shown to be capable of complete denitrification. Cells of strain 2APBS1T and 116-2 were Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods, 3–5 µm long and 0.25–0.5 µm in diameter. The isolates were facultative anaerobes, and had temperature and pH optima for growth of 30 °C and pH 6.5; they were able to tolerate up to 2.0 % NaCl, although growth improved in its absence. Strains 2APBS1T and 116-2 contained fatty acid and quinone (ubiquinone-8; 100 %) profiles that are characteristic features of the genus Rhodanobacter . Although strains 2APBS1T and 116-2 shared high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Rhodanobacter thiooxydans LCS2T (>99 %), levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between these strains were substantially below the 70 % threshold used to designate novel species. Thus, based on genotypic, phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and physiological differences, strains 2APBS1T and 116-2 are considered to represent a single novel species of the genus Rhodanobacter , for which the name Rhodanobacter denitrificans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 2APBS1T ( = DSM 23569T = JCM 17641T).

Bacterium Strain

A Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, strain HMD2169T, was isolated from a mesotrophic artificial lake in Korea. Strain HMD2169T grew in the presence of 0–3.0 % (w/v) NaCl, at pH 5–10 and at 20–37 °C. The predominant quinone of strain HMD2169T was ubiquinone (UQ)-8. The major 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 polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content was 59.8 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HMD2169T was a representative of a lineage within the genus Chitinimonas . Strain HMD2169T was closely related to Chitinimonas taiwanensis (95.8 % sequence similarity) and Chitinimonas koreensis (94.6 %). On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, strain HMD2169T is a representative of a novel species of the genus Chitinimonas , for which the name Chitinimonas viridis sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain HMD2169T ( = KCTC 22839T = CECT 7703T).

A non-lipophilic coryneform bacterium, strain 3105T, was isolated from various tissues of a ferret with lethal sepsis. The strain was characterized by phenotypic and chemotaxonomic methods, which suggested an assignment of the isolate to the genus Corynebacterium. Strain 3105T exhibited the following peculiar features that made it possible to differentiate it phenotypically from all other corynebacteria: its distinctive ‘humid cellar’-like odour, strong adherence to agar and a greenish-beige pigment. Strain 3105T exhibited more than 2.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence divergence from its closest phylogenetic neighbour, Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis NCTC 3450T (97.12 % sequence similarity). Analysis of the highly variable region within the rpoB gene sequence showed that strain 3105T exhibited more than 14 % divergence from its closest phylogenetic relative, again C. pseudotuberculosis. Based on the data presented, it is proposed that the ferret isolate should be classified within a novel species, Corynebacterium mustelae sp. nov. (type strain 3105T =CCUG 57279T =DSM 45274T).

Cymbidium Goeringii

Two Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming rod-shaped, non-motile bacteria, designated strains R156-2T and T58-2 were isolated from the roots of Cymbidium goeringii. The colonies were yellow-pigmented. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strains R156-2T and T58-2 were shown to be members of the genus Chitinophaga . Strains R156-2T and T58-2 showed the greatest level of sequence similarity with Chitinophaga niabensis (96.0–96.3 %). The major menaquinone was MK-7. The main cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 1ω5c and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. Phenotypic and genotypic analyses indicated that strains R156-2T and T58-2 could not be assigned to any recognized species. Therefore, strains R156-2T and T58-2 represent a novel species of the genus Chitinophaga , for which the name Chitinophaga cymbidii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R156-2T ( = ACCC 05363T = KCTC 23738T). The DNA G+C content of this strain is 51.9 mol%.

A halotolerant, psychrotolerant and methylotrophic methanogen, strain SY-01T, was isolated from the saline Lake Tus in Siberia. Cells of strain SY-01T were non-motile, cocci and 0.8–1.0 µm in diameter. The only methanogenic substrate utilized by strain SY-01T was methanol. The temperature range of growth for strain SY-01T was from 4 to 40 °C and the optimal temperature for growth was 30 °C. The pH range of growth was from pH 7.2 to 9.0, with optimal growth at pH 8.0. The NaCl range of growth was 0–1.55 M with optimal growth at 0.51 M NaCl. The G+C content of the genome of strain SY-01T was 43.6 mol % as determined by genome sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that strain SY-01T was most closely related to Methanolobus zinderi SD1T (97.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), and had 95.5–97.2 % similarities to other Methanolobus species with valid names. Genome relatedness between strain SY-01T and DSM 21339T was computed using average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNAhybridization, which yielded values of 79.7 and 21.7 %, respectively. Based on morphological, phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic relatedness data presented here, it is evident that strain SY-01T represents a novel species of the genus Methanolobus , and the name Methanolobus halotolerans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SY-01T (=BCRC AR10051T=NBRC 113166 T=DSM 107642T).

A bacterial strain, designated RHs22T, was isolated from a soil sample cultivated with rice in the Suwon region of South Korea. The cells were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming, non-flagellated rods or occasionally filaments. The strain grew at 10–37 °C (optimum, 28–30 °C), at pH 5.0–10.0 (optimum, 7.0) and in the presence of 0–1 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 %). Phylogenetically, the strain was closely related to members of the genus Spirosoma , as its 16S rRNA gene sequence had similarity of 90.3–92.1 % with respect to those of members of the genus Spirosoma , showing the highest sequence similarity with Spirosoma panaciterrae DSM 21099T. Strain RHs22T revealed relatively low sequence similarities of less than 90 % with all the other species with validly published names. It contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c), C16 : 1ω5c, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH as the main fatty acids. The polar lipids of strain RHs22T were phosphatidylethanolamine, one unknown aminolipid, two unknown aminophospholipids, one unknown phospholipid and five unknown lipids. The DNA G+C content was 57.0 mol%. Phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data obtained in this study indicate that strain RHs22T represents a novel species of the genus Spirosoma , for which the name Spirosoma oryzae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RHs22T ( = KACC 17324T = DSM 28354T). An emended description of the genus Spirosoma is also proposed.

Taxonomic Approach

A non-motile, coccobacillus-shaped and pink pigmented bacterium, designated strain 03SU10-PT, was isolated from wetland freshwater (Woopo wetland, Republic of Korea). Cells were Gram reaction-negative and catalase- and oxidase-positive. The major fatty acids (>10 % of total) were C18 : 1ω7c and summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c). The predominant respiratory lipoquinone was Q-10. The DNA G+C content was 68 mol%. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and an unknown aminolipid. Spermidine, putrescine and 1,3-diaminopropane were the major polyamines. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons showed that strain 03SU10-PT formed an evolutionary lineage within the radiation enclosing the members of the genus Roseomonas . The nearest neighbour to the novel strain was Roseomonas stagni HS-69T (96.3 % gene sequence similarity). The evidence provided by the polyphasic taxonomic approach used in this study indicated that strain 03SU10-PT could not be assigned to any recognized species; therefore a novel species is proposed, Roseomonas riguiloci sp. nov., with 03SU10-PT ( = KCTC 23339T = JCM 17520T) as the type strain.

Two Gram-staining-positive, aerobic, non-sporulating bacteria forming short rods and cocci, designated MB1-7 and MB1-14T, were isolated from the Taklamakan desert. The isolates could oxidize manganese (II) ions. The isolates shared 95.4–98.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with members of the genus Mycetocola . Although the isolates possessed chemotaxonomic properties similar to those of Mycetocola reblochoni , they were readily distinguished from this taxon by DNA–DNA relatedness and phenotypic characters. According to morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, as well as phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA relatedness, the two isolates represent a novel species of the genus Mycetocola , for which the name Mycetocola manganoxydans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MB1-14T ( = CCTCC AB 209002T  = KCTC 19753T).
