Eight strains of aerobic, spore-forming, Gram-positive, moderately halophilic bacteria were isolated from sauce (nam-pla and bu-du) produced in Thailand by the fermentation of fish. They grew optimally in the presence of 10 % NaCl, at 37 °C and pH 7·0. A diagnostic diamino acid, meso-diaminopimelic acid, was present in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. Phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified glycolipid were found to be the major polar lipid components. The DNA G+C content was 42–43 mol%. These bacteria were further divided into two groups based on phenotypic characteristics and DNA–DNA similarities. Three strains of Group I were highly affiliated to the type strain of Lentibacillus salicampi in terms of phenotypic characterization and DNA–DNA similarities (96–102 %); accordingly, they were identified as strains of L. salicampi. A representative strain of Group II, strain IS40-3T, was most closely related to L. salicampi in terms of 16S rRNA-based phylogenetic analysis, although five strains of Group II could be distinguished from L. salicampi by means of several phenotypic properties, low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (95·2 %) and low DNA–DNA similarities (12–32 %). Therefore, the Group II strains should be included in a novel species of the genus Lentibacillus, for which the name Lentibacillus juripiscarius sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IS40-3T (=JCM 12147T=PCU 229T=TISTR 1535T).

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.

Sequence Comparisons

Two actinomycete strains, ID05-A0653T and ID06-A0464T, were isolated from soils of West Timor and Lombok island, respectively, in Indonesia. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis clearly demonstrated that the isolates belonged to the family Pseudonocardiaceae and were closely related to the genus Actinophytocola. Strains ID05-A0653T and ID06-A0464T exhibited 98.1 and 98.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively, with Actinophytocola oryzae GMKU 367T. The isolates grew well on ISP media and produced white aerial mycelium. Short spore chains were formed directly on the substrate mycelium. The isolates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, arabinose and galactose as cell-wall components, MK-9(H4) as the sole isoprenoid quinone, iso-C16 : 0 as the major cellular fatty acid and phosphatidylethanolamine as the diagnostic polar lipid. The DNA G+C contents of strains ID05-A0653T and ID06-A0464T were 69.7 and 71.2 mol%, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic characteristics, DNA–DNA relatedness and 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, strains ID05-A0653T and ID06-A0464T each represent a novel species of the genus Actinophytocola, for which the names Actinophytocola timorensis sp. nov. (type strain ID05-A0653T  = BTCC B-673T  = NBRC 105524T) and Actinophytocola corallina sp. nov. (type strain ID06-A0464T  = BTCC B-674T  = NBRC 105525T) are proposed.

Moderately Halophilic Bacterium

A moderately halophilic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium (BH030004T) was isolated from a solar saltern in Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain BH030004T belonged to the genus Pontibacillus. Chemotaxonomic data (DNA G+C content, 42 mol%; major isoprenoid quinone, MK-7; cell-wall type, A1γ-type meso-diaminopimelic acid; major fatty acids, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0) also supported the affiliation of the isolate to the genus Pontibacillus. Although the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain BH030004T and Pontibacillus chungwhensis DSM 16287T was relatively high (99·1 %), physiological properties and DNA–DNA hybridization (about 7 % DNA–DNA relatedness) allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain BH030004T from the type strain of P. chungwhensis. Therefore, strain BH030004T represents a novel species of the genus Pontibacillus, for which the name Pontibacillus marinus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BH030004T (=KCTC 3917T=DSM 16465T).

Two aerobic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterial strains, 5YN10-14T and GR21-5T, were isolated from the Yongneup wetland and ginseng soil in Korea, respectively. The two strains formed ellipsoidal or oval spores positioned centrally or paracentrally in swollen sporangia. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, these strains were related to members of the genus Cohnella. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains 5YN10-14T and GR21-5T was 95.9 %. Strains 5YN10-14T and GR21-5T showed, respectively, 94.3 and 95.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Cohnella thermotolerans CCUG 47242T, 94.6 and 94.4 % to Cohnella hongkongensis HKU3T, 94.7 and 94.7 % to Cohnella laeviribosi RI-39T, and 95.4 and 94.8 % to Cohnella phaseoli GSPC1T. The major fatty acids of strain 5YN10-14T were anteiso-C15 : 0 (51.1 %), iso-C16 : 0 (18.5 %) and C16 : 0 (13.2 %), and the major fatty acids of strain GR21-5T were anteiso-C15 : 0 (48.9 %), iso-C16 : 0 (15.0 %) and iso-C15 : 0 (12.2 %). The two strains contained menaquinone with seven isoprene units (MK-7) as the predominant quinone, and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine as major polar lipids; however, strain 5YN10-14T also contained lysylphosphatidylglycerol as a major polar lipid, whereas strain GR21-5T had an unknown aminophospholipid as another major polar lipid. The DNA G+C contents of strains 5YN10-14T and GR21-5T were 58.8 and 61.3 mol%, respectively. Based on the results of the phylogenetic and phenotypic data presented, it was concluded that the two strains represent two novel species of the genus Cohnella, for which the names Cohnella yongneupensis sp. nov. (type strain 5YN10-14T=KACC 11768T=DSM 18998T) and Cohnella ginsengisoli sp. nov. (type strain GR21-5T=KACC 11771T=DSM 18997T) are proposed.

Taxonomic Studies

Three Gram-positive, moderately halophilic, heterotrophic bacterial strains were isolated from a neutral saline lake in the Xin-Jiang area of China. The strains, designated 8-2T, W11-1 and 25-7T, were motile, spore-forming, aerobic rods and contained meso-diaminopimelic acid in their cell walls. Their DNA G+C contents were 37·4, 37·2 and 39·9 mol%, respectively. The main fatty acids in the cellular membranes of these novel strains were C15 and C17 methyl-branched. No species with validly published names showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of more than 95 % with respect to these novel isolates; the most closely related species was a halophilic denitrifier, Bacillus halodenitrificans (94·6 %). Polyphasic taxonomic studies revealed that these strains belong to the Bacillaceae and are distantly related to other genera of the family. It is proposed that a new genus, Salinibacillus, should be created, with Salinibacillus aidingensis (type strain, 25-7T=AS 1.3565T=JCM 12389T) as the type species. Another species, Salinibacillus kushneri, is also proposed, with 8-2T (=AS 1.3566T=JCM 12390T) as the type strain.

Reference Strains

Strains 1.15.5T, 2.27.5, 5.24.4 and 6.14.5 were isolated from a solar saltern. They have flattened, rod-shaped cells and are aerobic, extremely halophilic members of the domain Archaea and family Halobacteriaceae. Cells stained Gram-negative and grew optimally in media around neutral pH and containing 20–24 % (w/v) (strains 1.15.5T and 2.27.5) or 22–24 % (w/v) (5.24.4 and 6.14.5) salts. Mg2+ was not required. The DNA G+C contents of these isolates were all close to 58 mol%, and DNA–DNA cross-hybridization showed a mean relatedness of 77 %. Their 16S rRNA gene sequences differed by no more than 1.6 % from each other. Phylogenetic tree reconstructions with other recognized members of the Halobacteriaceae indicated that they formed a distinct clade, with the closest relative being Halorubrum saccharovorum (86.6–87.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the type strain). The only major polar lipid of all four isolates was the sulfated diglycosyl diether lipid S-DGD-1. By phase-contrast microscopy, the long, flattened cells of these strains often displayed a ‘wing-like’ shape. The phenotypic and phylogenetic data support the placement of these isolates into a novel species in a new genus within the Halobacteriaceae, for which we propose the name Halonotius pteroides gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Halonotius pteroides is 1.15.5T (=JCM 14355T =CECT 7525T =DSM 18729T), with the additional reference strains 2.27.5 (=JCM 14356 =DSM 18671), 5.24.4 (=JCM 14357 =DSM 18673) and 6.14.5 (=JCM 14358 =DSM 18692).

Two Gram-staining-positive, aerobic, endospore-forming, motile bacteria, strains DT7-4T and DLE-12T, were isolated from roots of evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) and day lily (Hemerocallis fulva), respectively, and subjected to taxonomic characterization. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the two strains fell into two distinct phylogenetic clusters belonging to the genus Paenibacillus. Strain DT7-4T was most closely related to Paenibacillus phyllosphaerae PALXIL04T and Paenibacillus taihuensis THMBG22T, with 96.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to each, and strain DLE-12T was most closely related to Paenibacillus ginsengarvi Gsoil 139T and Paenibacillus hodogayensis SGT, with 96.6 and 93.3  % sequence similarity, respectively. Both isolates contained anteiso-C15 : 0 as the dominant fatty acid, meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan and MK-7 as the respiratory menaquinone. The cellular polar lipids were composed of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and unidentified polar lipids. The DNA G+C contents of strains DT7-4T and DLE-12T were 50.1 ± 0.7 and 55.2 ± 0.5 mol%, respectively. The chemotaxonomic properties of both isolates were typical of members of the genus Paenibacillus. However, our biochemical and phylogenetic analyses distinguished each isolate from related species. Based on our polyphasic taxonomic analysis, strains DT7-4T and DLE-12T should be recognized as representatives of novel species of Paenibacillus, for which the names Paenibacillus oenotherae sp. nov. (type strain DT7-4T = KCTC 33186T = JCM 19573T) and Paenibacillus hemerocallicola sp. nov. (type strain DLE-12T = KCTC 33185T = JCM 19572T) are proposed.

Two novel vibrio isolates (R-40492T and R-40493T) originating from the zoanthid Palythoa caribaeorum in Brazil in 2005 were taxonomically characterized by means of a polyphasic approach comprising multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA), DNA–DNA hybridization (DDH), ΔT m analysis and phenotypic characterization. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that R-40492T and R-40493T fell within the genus Vibrio and were most closely related to each other with 99 % similarity; similarities of these two novel isolates towards Vibrio neptunius LMG 20536T, Vibrio coralliilyticus LMG 20984T, Vibrio nigripulchritudo LMG 3896T, Vibrio sinaloensis LMG 25238T and Vibrio brasiliensis LMG 20546T varied between 97.1 and 98.5 %. DDH experiments showed that the two isolates had less than 15 % relatedness to the phylogenetically most closely related Vibrio species. R-40492T and R-40493T had 55–57 % relatedness to each other. The ΔTm between R-40492T and R-40493T was 6.12 °C. In addition, MLSA of concatenated sequences (16S rRNA, ftsZ, gyrB, recA, rpoA, topA, pyrH and mreB; 6035 bp in length) showed that the two novel isolates formed a separate branch with less than 92 % concatenated gene sequence similarity towards known species of vibrios. Two novel species are proposed to accommodate these novel isolates, namely Vibrio variabilis sp. nov. (type strain, R-40492T = LMG 25438T = CAIM 1454T) and Vibrio maritimus sp. nov. (type strain, R-40493T = LMG 25439T = CAIM 1455T).

Phenotypic Data

Two aerobic, Gram-reaction-negative, non-spore-forming bacterial strains, 4M29T and 4M40T, were isolated from cotton composts. The two strains grew in the presence of 0–5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum growth in the absence of NaCl), at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and at 15–45 °C (optimum, 30 °C). The strains shared 97.1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Strains 4M29T and 4M40T showed the next highest levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Parapedobacter koreensis Jip14T (95.6 and 94.4 %, respectively) and Parapedobacter soli DCY14T (95.2 and 93.8 %). The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strains 4M29T and 4M40T was 38 %. The two strains contained iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (comprising iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH as major fatty acids, MK-7 as the major respiratory quinone, homospermidine as the only polyamine and phosphatidylethanolamine as the major polar lipid. The DNA G+C contents of strains 4M29T and 4M40T were 47.6 and 48.6 mol%, respectively. On the basis of phylogenetic and phenotypic data, strains 4M29T and 4M40T are considered to represent two novel species of the genus Parapedobacter, for which the names Parapedobacter luteus sp. nov. (type strain 4M29T =KACC 10955T =JCM 15977T) and Parapedobacter composti sp. nov. (type strain 4M40T =KACC 10972T =JCM 15978T) are proposed.

Diving Beetle

A polyphasic taxonomic approach was used to characterize a novel bacterium, designated as strain HDW20T, isolated from the intestine of the dark diving beetle Hydrophilus acuminatus. The isolate was Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, coccus-shaped, and formed pale orange colonies. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and genome sequences showed that the isolate belonged to the genus Tessaracoccus in the phylum Actinobacteria and was closely related to T. flavescens SST-39T, T. defluvii JCM 17540T, and T. aquimaris NSG39T, with the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 98.5 % and a highest average nucleotide identity (ANI) value of 80.6 %. The major cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1  ω9c and anteiso-C15 : 0. The main respiratory quinone was MK-9 (H4). The major polar lipid components were phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The genomic DNA G+C content was 69.0 %. The isolate contains ʟʟ-diaminopimelic acid, ʟ-alanine, and ʟ-lysine as amino acid components, and ribose, glucose, and galactose as sugar components of the cell wall peptidoglycan. The results of phylogenetic, phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and genotypic analyses suggested that strain HDW20T represents a novel species within the genus Tessaracoccus . We propose the name Tessaracoccus coleopterorum sp. nov. The type strain is HDW20T (=KACC 21348T=KCTC 49324T=JCM 33674T).
