Two Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped organisms, strains SW-125T and SW-154T, were isolated from tidal flat sediment of the Yellow Sea in Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strains SW-125T and SW-154T grew optimally at 30–37 °C and in the presence of 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl. They contained ubiquinone-8 (Q-8) as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone and iso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acid. The DNA G+C contents of strains SW-125T and SW-154T were 44 mol%. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the two strains form deep evolutionary lineages of descent within the γ-Proteobacteria. Strains SW-125T and SW-154T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity levels of less than 90 % to members of the γ-Proteobacteria used in this analysis. Strains SW-125T and SW-154T showed a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity level of 98·5 % and a mean DNA–DNA relatedness level of 9·4 %. Therefore, on the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic data, a new genus, Kangiella gen. nov., is proposed to accommodate the novel strains, comprising two novel species, Kangiella koreensis sp. nov. (type strain, SW-125T=KCTC 12182T=DSM 16069T) and Kangiella aquimarina sp. nov. (type strain, SW-154T=KCTC 12183T=DSM 16071T).

Three Gram-variable, rod-shaped bacterial strains, TF-16T, TF-19 and TF-80T, were isolated from a tidal flat of Daepo Beach (Yellow Sea) near Mokpo City, Korea, and their taxonomic positions were investigated by a polyphasic approach. These isolates grew optimally in the presence of 2 % NaCl and at 30 °C. Their peptidoglycan types were based on l-Lys–Gly. The predominant menaquinone detected in the three strains was MK-7. The three strains contained large amounts of the branched fatty acids iso-C17 : 0, anteiso-C13 : 0, iso-C13 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C contents of strains TF-16T, TF-19 and TF-80T were 48·6, 48·4 and 48·0 mol%, respectively. The three strains formed a coherent cluster with Exiguobacterium species in a phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. They showed closest phylogenetic affiliation to Exiguobacterium aurantiacum, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 98·1–98·3 %. The three strains exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 94·0–94·6 % to the type strains of other Exiguobacterium species. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness indicated that strains TF-16T and TF-19 and strain TF-80T are members of two species that are separate from E. aurantiacum. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strains TF-16T and TF-19 and strain TF-80T represent two novel species in the genus Exiguobacterium; the names Exiguobacterium aestuarii sp. nov. (type strain TF-16T=KCTC 19035T=DSM 16306T; reference strain TF-19) and Exiguobacterium marinum sp. nov. (type strain TF-80T=KCTC 19036T=DSM 16307T) are proposed.

Four Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterial strains, TF-26T, TF-28, TF-42 and TF-53, were isolated from a tidal flat in the Yellow Sea, Korea, and their taxonomic positions were determined by a polyphasic characterization. The strains grew optimally in the presence of 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl and at 30–37 °C. The predominant menaquinone detected in the four strains was MK-6. These strains contained large amounts of fatty acids C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 3-OH, C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The DNA G+C contents of the four strains were 32·3–32·8 mol%. Strains TF-26T, TF-28, TF-42 and TF-53 showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity levels of 99·8–100 % and DNA–DNA relatedness levels of 82–87 %. The four strains exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity levels of 95·0–98·0 % to the type strains of the five current Tenacibaculum species, and DNA–DNA relatedness levels between the four strains and two phylogenetic relatives, Tenacibaculum mesophilum DSM 13764T and Tenacibaculum skagerrakense DSM 14836T, were less than 21 %. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strains TF-26T, TF-28, TF-42 and TF-53 were classified in the genus Tenacibaculum as members of a novel species, for which the name Tenacibaculum lutimaris sp. nov. (type strain, TF-26T=KCTC 12302T=DSM 16505T) is proposed.

Emended Description

A Gram-staining-negative, strictly aerobic bacterium, designated strain SD10T, was isolated from a tidal flat of the Yellow Sea, South Korea. Cells were non-spore-forming rods that showed catalase- and oxidase-positive reactions. Growth of strain SD10T was observed at 15–40 °C (optimum, 25–30 °C), at pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 6.5–8.5) and in the presence of 1–10 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain SD10T contained ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) as a major isoprenoid quinone and C18 : 1ω7c (39.3 %), C16 : 0 (20.2 %), C17 : 0 (8.9 %) and C17 : 1ω6c (8.1 %) as major fatty acids. The cellular polar lipids were identified as phosphatidylglycerol, monoglycosyldiglyceride, glucuronopyranosyldiglyceride and two unidentified glycolipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 55.2 mol%. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, the strain was most closely related to Henriciella marina Iso4T and Maribaculum marinum P38T, with similarities of 97.8 and 97.0 %, respectively. The DNA–DNA relatedness between strain SD10T and H. marina Iso4T was 12.0±3.2 %. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that M. marinum P38T and H. marina Iso4T formed a monophyletic cluster and that their 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity was 98.1 %. DNA–DNA hybridization between H. marina Iso4T and M. marinum LMG 24711T was 22.9±2.7 %, indicating that the two strains belong to separate species. On the basis of chemotaxonomic data and molecular properties, we propose that strain SD10T represents a novel species of the genus Henriciella, for which the name Henriciella litoralis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SD10T ( = KACC 13700T  = DSM 22014T). In addition, we propose to transfer Maribaculum marinum Lai et al. 2009 to the genus Henriciella as Henriciella aquimarina nom. nov. (type strain P38T  = CCTCC AB 208227T  = LMG 24711T  = MCCC 1A01086T), and we present an emended description of the genus Henriciella.

Two Gram-negative, motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped organisms, strains SW-117T and SW-120T, were isolated from sea water of the Yellow Sea in Korea and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strains SW-117T and SW-120T simultaneously contained both menaquinones (MK) and ubiquinones (Q) as isoprenoid quinones; the predominant menaquinone was MK-7 and the predominant ubiquinones were Q-7 and Q-8. The major fatty acid detected in the two strains was iso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C content of strains SW-117T and SW-120T was 51 and 54 mol%, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains SW-117T and SW-120T fall within the radiation of the cluster comprising Shewanella species. Strains SW-117T and SW-120T showed a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97·4 % and a DNA–DNA relatedness level of 10·1 %. Strains SW-117T and SW-120T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity levels of 93·8–98·5 % and 92·4–97·0 %, respectively, to Shewanella species. Strain SW-117T exhibited DNA–DNA relatedness levels of 8·3–20·3 % to the type strains of six phylogenetically related Shewanella species. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strains SW-117T and SW-120T were classified in the genus Shewanella as two distinct novel species, for which the names Shewanella marisflavi sp. nov. (type strain, SW-117T=KCCM 41822T=JCM 12192T) and Shewanella aquimarina sp. nov. (type strain, SW-120T=KCCM 41821T=JCM 12193T) are proposed, respectively.

A Gram-variable, motile, endospore-forming, slightly halophilic bacterial strain, designated SW-211T, was isolated from a tidal flat of the Yellow Sea in Korea, and was characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. The organism grew optimally at 37 °C and in the presence of 2–3 % NaCl. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain SW-211T forms a distinct phylogenetic lineage within the radiation of the cluster comprising Bacillus species. Strain SW-211T had cell-wall peptidoglycan based on meso-diaminopimelic acid. The predominant menaquinone was MK-7 and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 (34·8 %), iso-C15 : 0 (15·6 %), iso-C16 : 0 (12·5 %) and iso-C14 : 0 (10·0 %). The DNA G+C content was 35·2 mol%. Strain SW-211T exhibited levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of <96·2 % with respect to the type strains of recognized Bacillus species. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain SW-211T (=KCTC 3898T=DSM 16303T) was classified in the genus Bacillus as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Bacillus litoralis sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-staining-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, BR-3T, was isolated from a tidal flat on the western coast of Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic study. Strain BR-3T grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 6.5–7.0 and in the absence of NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain BR-3T fell within the clade comprising species of the genus Mucilaginibacter, joining the type strain of Mucilaginibacter rigui, with which it exhibited highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.2 %). 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values between strain BR-3T and the type strains of the other species of the genus Mucilaginibacter were in the range 93.8–95.9 %. A mean DNA–DNA relatedness value between strain BR-3T and M. rigui KCTC 12534T was 21 %. Strain BR-3T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and iso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and an unidentified aminophospholipid. The DNA G+C content was 49.8 mol%. Differential phenotypic properties and phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness of strain BR-3T demonstrated that this strain is separate from M. rigui as well as the other species of the genus Mucilaginibacter. On the basis of the data presented, strain BR-3T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter, for which the name Mucilaginibacter lutimaris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BR-3T ( = KCTC 23461T  = CCUG 60742T).

Two Gram-negative, motile, non-spore-forming and slightly halophilic rods (strains SW-145T and SW-156T) were isolated from sea water of the Yellow Sea in Korea. Strains SW-145T and SW-156T grew optimally at 37 and 30–37 °C, respectively, and in the presence of 2–6 % (w/v) NaCl. Strains SW-145T and SW-156T were chemotaxonomically characterized as having ubiquinone-9 as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone and C16 : 0, C18 : 1 ω9c, C16 : 1 ω9c and C12 : 0 3-OH as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C contents of strains SW-145T and SW-156T were 58 and 57 mol%, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains SW-145T and SW-156T fell within the evolutionary radiation enclosed by the genus Marinobacter. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains SW-145T and SW-156T were 94·8 % similar. Strains SW-145T and SW-156T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity levels of 94·3–98·1 and 95·4–97·7 %, respectively, with respect to the type strains of all Marinobacter species. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness, together with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values, indicated that strains SW-145T and SW-156T are members of two species that are distinct from seven Marinobacter species with validly published names. On the basis of phenotypic properties and phylogenetic and genotypic distinctiveness, strains SW-145T (=KCTC 12185T=DSM 16070T) and SW-156T (=KCTC 12184T=DSM 16072T) should be placed in the genus Marinobacter as the type strains of two distinct novel species, for which the names Marinobacter flavimaris sp. nov. and Marinobacter daepoensis sp. nov. are proposed.

A Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, yellow-pigmented, slightly halophilic bacterial strain, SW-109T, was isolated from a tidal flat of the Yellow Sea in Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. This isolate did not produce bacteriochlorophyll a and contained ubiquinone-10 as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c as the major fatty acid. The DNA G+C content was 60·3 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SW-109T is phylogenetically affiliated to the genus Erythrobacter of the family Sphingomonadaceae. Strain SW-109T exhibited levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the type strains of Erythrobacter species of 94·0–96·3 %, making it possible to categorize strain SW-109T as a species that is separate from previously recognized Erythrobacter species. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, SW-109T (=KCTC 12311T=JCM 12599T) was classified as the type strain of a novel Erythrobacter species, for which the name Erythrobacter luteolus sp. nov. is proposed.

Emended Description

A polyphasic taxonomic study was performed on 22 thermotolerant, aerobic, endospore-forming bacteria from dairy environments. Seventeen isolates were retrieved from raw milk, one from a filter cloth and four from grass, straw or milking equipment. These latter four isolates (R-6546, R-7499, R-7764 and R-7440) were identified as Bacillus thermoamylovorans based on DNA–DNA hybridizations (values above 70 % with Bacillus thermoamylovorans LMG 18084T) but showed discrepancies in characteristics with the original species description, so an emended description of this species is given. According to 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization experiments, the remaining 18 isolates (R-6488T, R-28193, R-6491, R-6492, R-7336, R-33367, R-6486, R-6770, R-31288, R-28160, R-26358, R-7632, R-26955, R-26950, R-33520, R-6484, R-26954 and R-7165) represented one single species, most closely related to Bacillus thermoamylovorans (93.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), for which the name Bacillus thermolactis is proposed. Cells were Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, endospore-forming rods that grew optimally at 40–50 °C. The cell wall peptidoglycan type of strain R-6488T, the proposed type strain, was A1γ based on meso-diaminopimelic acid. Major fatty acids of the strains were C16 : 0 (28.0 %), iso-C16 : 0 (12.1 %) and iso-C15 : 0 (12.0 %). MK-7 was the predominant menaquinone, and major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and some unidentified phospholipids. DNA G+C content was 35.0 mol%. Phenotypic properties allowed discrimination from other thermotolerant species of the genus Bacillus and supported the description of the novel species Bacillus thermolactis, with strain R-6488T ( = LMG 25569T  = DSM 23332T) as the proposed type strain.

Abstract Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming, thermophilic, acidophilic bacterium, designated strain skT53T, was isolated from farm soil in Tokyo, Japan. The strain grew aerobically at 37–55°C (optimum 50°C) and pH 4.0–6.0 (optimum 5.0). Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the isolate was most closely related to the type strain of Effusibacillus consociatus (94.3% similarity). The G + C content of the genomic DNA was 48.22 mol%. MK-7 was the predominant respiratory quinone. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0, iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0 and C18:3ω6c. The results of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic, 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, and whole genome analyses support strain skT53T as representing a novel species of Effusibacillus dendaii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain skT53T (= NBRC 114101T = TBRC 11241T).
