Two bacterial isolates, strains IMMIB RIV-085T and IMMIB RIV-095, isolated from a blood-sucking bug of the genus Triatoma, were characterized by phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. Chemotaxonomic investigations revealed the presence of cell-wall chemotype IV and mycolic acids consistent with the genus Rhodococcus. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that the two isolates are genealogically highly related (100 % sequence similarity) and constitute a new subline within the genus Rhodococcus, with Rhodococcus corynebacteroides and Rhodococcus rhodnii as their nearest phylogenetic neighbours (98·4 and 98·3 % sequence similarity, respectively). However, DNA–DNA hybridization experiments demonstrated unambiguously that the isolates are genealogically distinct from R. corynebacteroides and R. rhodnii (32 and 43 % relatedness, respectively). The isolates could be distinguished from their phylogenetic relatives and other members of the genus Rhodococcus by means of biochemical tests. On the basis of both phenotypic and phylogenetic evidence, it is proposed that these isolates be classified as a novel species, Rhodococcus triatomae sp. nov. The type strain is strain IMMIB RIV-085T (=CCUG 50202T=DSM 44892T).

A facultatively anaerobic, endospore-forming bacterium, designated strain P11-6T, was isolated from soil of a ginseng field located in Geumsan County, Republic of Korea. Cells of strain P11-6T were Gram-stain-negative, catalase-negative, motile rods and produced semi-translucent, circular, white colonies on tryptic soy agar. The isolate contained MK-7 as the only menaquinone and anteiso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acid. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unknown aminophosphoglycolipid, an unknown aminophospholipid, two unknown phospholipids, three unknown glycolipids and three unknown lipids were detected in the polar lipid profile. The DNA G+C content of strain P11-6T was 41.9 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that strain P11-6T was most closely related to Fontibacillus aquaticus GPTSA 19T (97.2 % sequence similarity) and that it formed a separate lineage with F. aquaticus in the family Paenibacillaceae. Combined phenotypic and DNA–DNA hybridization data supported the conclusion that strain P11-6T represents a novel species in the genus Fontibacillus, for which the name Fontibacillus panacisegetis sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is P11-6T (=KCTC 13564T =CECT 7605T).

Four Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative, coccoid-shaped isolates were obtained from the oral cavities of wild boars and characterized by phenotypic and phylogenetic studies. On the results of biochemical tests, the organisms were tentatively identified as a streptococcal species. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies confirmed that the organisms are members of the genus Streptococcus, with Streptococcus equi subsp. equi ATCC 33398T as their closest phylogenetic relative (94.7 % similarity). DNA–DNA hybridization analysis showed that the isolates displayed less than 10 % relatedness to Streptococcus equi subsp. equi DSM 20561T. From the phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, the four isolates represent a novel species of the genus Streptococcus, for which the name Streptococcus dentapri sp. nov. (type strain NUM 1529T =JCM 15752T =DSM 21999T) is proposed.

A total of 14 Halomonas strains were isolated from the blood of two patients and from dialysis machines of a renal care centre. The strains were Gram-negative, halophilic, motile and non-spore-forming rods. They produced cream-coloured colonies and contained Q-9 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c and C16 : 0 as the major fatty acids. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that the 14 isolates were most closely related to Halomonas magadiensis 21 MIT with 98.1–98.9 % sequence similarity and that they formed three separate lineages among themselves. Combined phenotypic and DNA–DNA hybridization data support the conclusion that they represent three novel species of the genus Halomonas, for which the names Halomonas stevensii sp. nov. (type strain S18214T=KCTC 22148T=DSM 21198T), Halomonas hamiltonii sp. nov. (type strain W1025T=KCTC 22154T=DSM 21196T) and Halomonas johnsoniae sp. nov. (type strain T68687T=KCTC 22157T=DSM 21197T) are proposed.

A lipophilic coryneform bacterium isolated from a blood culture from a patient with signs of septicaemia was characterized by means of phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. Chemotaxonomic investigations revealed the presence of cell-wall chemotype IV and short-chain mycolic acids, which are consistent with the genus Corynebacterium. The isolate was characterized biochemically by the very rapid (approx. 60 s) positive result that was obtained in a urease test in the API Coryne system. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing demonstrated that the isolate belonged phylogenetically to the genus Corynebacterium. The values for sequence divergence (⩾1.4 %) with respect to known Corynebacterium species, together with phenotypic differences, show that the unidentified bacterium represents a novel member of this genus. On the basis of both the phenotypic and phylogenetic data, this isolate should be classified within a novel species of the genus Corynebacterium, for which the name Corynebacterium ureicelerivorans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IMMIB RIV-2301T (=DSM 45051T=CCUG 53377T).

A novel xylan-degrading bacterium, S3-ET, was isolated from the biofilm of a membrane bioreactor. The cells of this strain were Gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming rods, produced primary branches and formed yellow colonies on nutrient agar. The strain had chemotaxonomic markers that were consistent with classification in the genus Microbacterium, i.e. MK-12, MK-11 and MK-13 as the major menaquinones, predominant iso- and anteiso-branched cellular fatty acids, glucose and galactose as the cell-wall sugars, peptidoglycan-type B2β with glycolyl residues and a DNA G+C content of 69·7 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, showed that strain S3-ET is most similar to Microbacterium hominis IFO 15708T and Microbacterium foliorum DSM 12966T (97·6 and 97·4 % sequence similarity, respectively), and that it forms a separate lineage with M. hominis in the genus Microbacterium. DNA–DNA hybridization results and phenotypic properties showed that strain S3-ET could be distinguished from all known Microbacterium species and represented a novel species, for which the name Microbacterium xylanilyticum sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is S3-ET (=DSM 16914T=KCTC 19079T).

During a search for xylan-degrading micro-organisms, a sporulating bacterium was recovered from xylan-containing agar plates exposed to air in a research laboratory (Salamanca University, Spain). The airborne isolate (designated strain XIL14T) was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing as representing a Paenibacillus species most closely related to Paenibacillus illinoisensis JCM 9907T (99·3 % sequence similarity) and Paenibacillus pabuli DSM 3036T (98 % sequence similarity). Phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and DNA–DNA hybridization data indicated that the isolate belongs to a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus. Cells of strain XIL14T were motile, sporulating, rod-shaped, Gram-positive and facultatively anaerobic. The predominant cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 0. The DNA G+C content of strain XIL14T was 50·5 mol%. Growth was observed with many carbohydrates, including xylan, as the only carbon source and gas production was not observed from glucose. Catalase was positive and oxidase was negative. The airborne isolate produced a variety of hydrolytic enzymes, including xylanases, amylases, gelatinase and β-galactosidase. DNA–DNA hybridization levels between strain XIL14T and P. illinoisensis DSM 11733T and P. pabuli DSM 3036T were 43·3 and 36·3 %, respectively. According to the data obtained, strain XIL14T is considered to represent a novel species for which the name Paenibacillus xylanilyticus sp. nov. is proposed (=LMG 21957T=CECT 5839T).

Three lactic acid bacterial (LAB) strains obtained from a Malaysian acid-fermented condiment, tempoyak (made from pulp of the durian fruit), showed analogous but distinct patterns after screening by SDS-PAGE of whole-cell proteins and comparison with profiles of all recognized LAB species. 16S rRNA gene sequencing of one representative strain showed that the taxon belongs phylogenetically to the genus Leuconostoc, with its nearest neighbour being Leuconostoc fructosum (98 % sequence similarity). Biochemical characteristics and DNA–DNA hybridization experiments demonstrated that the strains differ from Leuconostoc fructosum and represent a single, novel Leuconostoc species for which the name Leuconostoc durionis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LMG 22556T (=LAB 1679T=D-24T=CCUG 49949T).

A polyphasic study was undertaken to establish the taxonomic position of an isolate, strain DS472T, from soil in Kyoto, Japan. Phylogenetic analysis, based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, revealed that this strain constitutes a new subline within the genus Rhodococcus, with Rhodococcus yunnanensis YIM 70056T and Rhodococcus fascians DSM 20669T as its nearest phylogenetic neighbours (98.2 and 97.8 % sequence similarity, respectively). DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed 36 and 29 % relatedness between the isolate and its phylogenetic relatives, R. yunnanensis and R. fascians, respectively. Chemotaxonomic characteristics, including the major quinone MK-8(H2), predominant fatty acids C16 : 0, C18 : 1 ω9c and 10-methyl C18 : 0, the presence of cell-wall chemotype IV and mycolic acids, were consistent with the properties of members of the genus Rhodococcus. The DNA G+C content was 64.5 mol%. On the basis of both phenotypic and genotypic evidence, strain DS472T represents a novel species of the genus Rhodococcus, for which the name Rhodococcus kyotonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain DS472T (=IAM 15415T=CCTCC AB206088T).

The taxonomic positions of seven atypical Enterococcus strains, isolated from artisanal Italian cheeses, were investigated in a polyphasic study. By using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, DNA–DNA hybridization and intergenic transcribed spacer analysis, as well as by examining the phenotypic properties, the novel isolates were shown to constitute a novel enterococcal species. Their closest relatives are Enterococcus sulfureus and Enterococcus saccharolyticus, having a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 96·7 %. This group of strains can be easily differentiated from the other Enterococcus species by DNA–DNA hybridization and by their phenotypic characteristics: the strains do not grow in 6·5 % NaCl, and they do not produce acid from l-arabinose, melezitose, melibiose, raffinose or ribose. The name Enterococcus italicus sp. nov. is proposed for this species, with strain DSM 15952T (=LMG 22039T) as the type strain.

Four strains (NUM 1903T, NUM 1904, NUM 1912 and NUM 1925) that were obligately anaerobic, pigmented, Gram-negative-staining rods were isolated from the oral cavity of donkeys. These strains were analysed using the Rapid ID 32A, API 20A and API ZYM systems, by DNA–DNA hybridization with other related species and by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that each of the new isolates was a member of the genus Prevotella and related to Prevotella multiformis PPPA21T, showing about 93 % sequence similarity. Based on phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, it is proposed that the four strains are representatives of a novel species, for which the name Prevotella dentasini sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NUM 1903T (=JCM 15908T=DSM 22229T).
