Three Gram-positive, rod- or coccoid-shaped bacterial strains, KSL-2T, KSL-5 and KSL-6, were isolated from an alkaline soil in Korea and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomical analysis. These isolates grew optimally at pH 9·0 and 30 °C. They were characterized chemotaxonomically as having cell wall peptidoglycan based on ll-2,6-diaminopimelic acid, MK-8(H4) as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C16 : 0 as the major fatty acid. The DNA G+C content of the isolates was 73–74 mol%. Strains KSL-2T, KSL-5 and KSL-6 were identical in their 16S rRNA gene sequences and exhibited DNA–DNA relatedness values of 88–93 %. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the three isolates fell within the evolutionary radiation encompassed by the genus Nocardioides. Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the three strains and the type strains of Nocardioides species ranged from 93·6 % (with Nocardioides albus) to 97·2 % (with Nocardioides aquiterrae). DNA–DNA relatedness levels between the three isolates and N. aquiterrae CJ-14T were 8–15 %. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strains KSL-2T, KSL-5 and KSL-6 were classified in the genus Nocardioides as members of a novel species for which the name Nocardioides kribbensis sp. nov. is proposed, with KSL-2T (=KCTC 19038T=DSM 16314T) as the type strain.

Two Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterial strains, KSL-102T and KSL-110, were isolated from an alkaline soil in Korea, and their taxonomic positions were investigated by use of a polyphasic study. The two strains grew optimally at pH 7·0–8·0 and 30 °C without NaCl. They contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c and C16 : 0 on trypticase soy agar, but 11-methyl C18 : 1 ω7c was also a major component when the two strains were cultivated on LMG medium no. 221. Their DNA G+C contents were 68·4–68·7 mol%. Strains KSL-102T and KSL-110 exhibited three nucleotide differences in their 16S rRNA gene sequences and a mean DNA–DNA relatedness value of 85 %. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the two strains fell within the evolutionary radiation encompassed by the genus Brevundimonas. Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the two strains and the type strains of recognized Brevundimonas species ranged from 96·3 to 98·4 %. DNA–DNA relatedness levels between the two strains and recognized Brevundimonas species were 8–21 %. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strains KSL-102T and KSL-110 were classified in the genus Brevundimonas as members of a novel species, for which the name Brevundimonas kwangchunensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KSL-102T (=KCTC 12380T=DSM 17033T).

Two Gram-positive, non-motile, yellow-pigmented, slightly curved and rod-shaped bacterial strains, UMS-62T and UMS-101, were isolated from the rhizosphere of Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum, a variety of wild edible greens grown on Ulleung island, Korea. The taxonomic position of the strains was investigated by a polyphasic approach. Strains UMS-62T and UMS-101 grew optimally at 30 °C and at pH 6.5–7.5. The novel strains contained MK-11 and MK-12 as the predominant menaquinones and rhamnose, ribose and galactose as the major cell-wall sugars. The major cellular fatty acids (>10 % of the total fatty acids) were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified glycolipid. The DNA G+C contents were 71.1–71.3 mol%. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains UMS-62T and UMS-101 belong to the genus Agromyces. Strains UMS-62T and UMS-101 showed a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value of 99.9 % and a mean DNA–DNA relatedness level of 91.1 %. Similarity values between the 16S rRNA gene sequences of the two novel strains and the type strains of recognized Agromyces species ranged from 95.2 to 99.1 %. The levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between the two novel strains and the type strains of five phylogenetically related Agromyces species were in the range of 13.4 to 54.2 %. On the basis of phenotypic properties, phylogenetic distinctiveness and genetic data, strain UMS-62T (=KCTC 19181T=JCM 13584T) and strain UMS-101 are classified as representing a novel species in the genus Agromyces, for which the name Agromyces allii sp. nov. is proposed.

Two Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, slightly halophilic gliding bacterial strains, DSW-8T and DSW-9, were isolated from sea water off a Korean island, Dokdo, of the East Sea, Korea, and their taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic study. The two strains grew optimally at 30 °C and in the presence of 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl. Strains DSW-8T and DSW-9 were characterized chemotaxonomically as containing MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 1 as the major fatty acids. Major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified phospholipids, an unidentified glycolipid and an amino group-containing lipid that was ninhydrin-positive. Their DNA G+C contents were 36·1 and 35·9 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains DSW-8T and DSW-9 fell within the genus Maribacter of the family Flavobacteriaceae. Strains DSW-8T and DSW-9 exhibited no difference in their 16S rRNA gene sequences and possessed a mean DNA–DNA relatedness level of 89 %. Strains DSW-8T and DSW-9 exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity levels of 96·9–98·0 % to the type strains of the four recognized Maribacter species, but their low level of DNA–DNA relatedness with these species demonstrated that they constitute a distinct Maribacter species. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic data and genetic distinctiveness, strains DSW-8T (=KCTC 12393T=DSM 17201T) and DSW-9 were classified in the genus Maribacter as members of a novel species, for which the name Maribacter dokdonensis sp. nov. is proposed.

The taxonomic positions of two Gram-staining-negative, psychrophilic bacteria, which were isolated from alpine glacier cryoconite and designated strains Cr4-12T and Cr4-35T, were investigated using a polyphasic approach. Both novel strains contained ubiquinone Q-8 as the sole quinone, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) and C16 : 0 as the dominant cellular fatty acids, putrescine and 2-hydroxyputrescine as the major polyamines, and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine as the major polar lipids. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains Cr4-12T and Cr4-35T were 61.3 mol% and 60.7 mol%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the two strains belonged to the genus Polaromonas . Although the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains Cr4-12T and Cr4-35T were very similar (98.7 % sequence similarity), hybridizations indicated a DNA–DNA relatedness value of only 26.9 % between the two novel strains. In pairwise comparisons with the type strains of recognized Polaromonas species, strains Cr4-12T and Cr4-35T showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 96.4–98.5 % and 96.5–98.4 %, respectively. Based on the phenotypic and phylogenetic evidence and DNA–DNA relatedness data, strains Cr4-12T and Cr4-35T represent two novel species within the genus Polaromonas , for which the names Polaromonas glacialis sp. nov. and Polaromonas cryoconiti sp. nov., respectively, are proposed. The type strain of Polaromonas glacialis sp. nov. is Cr4-12T ( = DSM 24062T  = LMG 26049T  = KACC 15089T) and that of Polaromonas cryoconiti sp. nov. is Cr4-35T ( = DSM 24248T  = LMG 26050T  = KACC 15090T).

Two Gram-negative, aerobic, non-pigmented, non-motile, rod-shaped bacteria, strains KMM 9015 and KMM 9018T, were isolated from a sample of shallow sediment collected from the Sea of Japan. An analysis of the nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the isolates were very close to each other phylogenetically (99.9 % sequence similarity) and their close relatives were Marinovum algicola FF3T (95.8 and 95.9 %, respectively) and members of the genera Leisingera (95.7–95.1 and 95.8–95.2 %), Phaeobacter (95.0–94.2 and 95.1–94.2 %) and Thalassobius (96.3–94.8 and 96.2–94.7 %) of the class Alphaproteobacteria. In phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strains KMM 9015 and KMM 9018T were positioned as a distinct phylogenetic line adjacent to Marinovum algicola. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-10, the polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and an unknown lipid and the major fatty acid was C18 : 1ω7c, followed by 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c, in both strains. The DNA G+C contents of strains KMM 9015 and KMM 9018T were 60.2 and 61.9 mol%, respectively. Based on distinctive phenotypic characteristics and phylogenetic analysis, strains KMM 9015 and KMM 9018T represent a novel species in a novel genus, for which the name Primorskyibacter sedentarius gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Primorskyibacter sedentarius is strain KMM 9018T ( = NRIC 0784T  = JCM 16874T).

Two Gram-stain-positive strains, WPCB074T and WPCB165, were isolated from fresh water collected from the Woopo wetland (Republic of Korea). Both strains were strictly aerobic, motile, endospore-forming rods. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strains WPCB074T and WPCB165 belonged to the genus Bacillus and that strain WPCB074T was most closely related to Bacillus solisalsi YC1T (98.4 % sequence similarity), B. barbaricus V2-BIII-A2T (97.7 %), B. macauensis ZFHKF-1T (96.9 %), B. arsenicus Con a/3T (96.4 %) and B. gelatini LMG 21880T (95.1 %). The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains WPCB074T and WPCB165 differed at one position (99.9 % similarity), suggesting that these two strains constitute a single species. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain WPCB074T and the type strains of B. solisalsi, B. barbaricus, B. macauensis, B. arsenicus and B. gelatini were 26, 17, 20, 14 and 7 %, respectively. Strain WPCB074T was characterized by having cell-wall peptidoglycan based on meso-diaminopimelic acid, MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content of strain WPCB074T was 41.9 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic properties, phylogeny and genomic distinctiveness, strain WPCB074T represents a novel species of the genus Bacillus for which the name Bacillus rigui sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WPCB074T (=KCTC 13278T =JCM 16348T).

Two Gram-negative-staining, aerobic bacterial strains, designated CL-SC21T and CL-SC22, were isolated from a culture of the diatom Skeletonema costatum (Korean Marine Microalgae Culture Center, KMMCC strain B-396) established from the East Sea, Korea. The two novel strains shared 99.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed an affiliation with the genus Nitratireductor, with the strains sharing 96.5–97.5 % similarity with the type strains of recognized species of the genus Nitratireductor and being most closely related to Nitratireductor aquibiodomus NL21T. Phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain CL-SC21T together with strain CL-SC22 belonged to the genus Nitratireductor and formed a robust clade among closely related Nitratireductor species. The polar lipids comprised phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids, an unidentified aminolipid, an unidentified phospholipid and five unidentified lipids. Ubiquinone 10 was the major quinone. The major cellular fatty acids of strains CL-SC21T and CL-SC22 were C18 : 1ω7c (70.6–72.3 %) and C19 : 0ω8c cyclo (10.9–11.8 %). The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains CL-SC21T and CL-SC22 were 56.7 and 57.1 mol%, respectively. The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strains CL-SC21T and CL-SC22 was 86 % (reciprocal 91 %), indicating that the two isolates represented a single species. However, levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between N. aquibiodomus NL21T and strains CL-SC21T and CL-SC22 were 28 % (reciprocal 45 %) and 25 % (reciprocal 50 %), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis and the results of biochemical tests showed that strains CL-SC21T and CL-SC22 were different from all recognized species of the genus Nitratireductor. Thus, strains CL-SC21T and CL-SC22 represent a novel species of the genus Nitratireductor, for which the name Nitratireductor aquimarinus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CL-SC21T ( = KCCM 90090T = JCM 17288T).

A novel aerobic actinomycete, designated strain I12A-02601T, was isolated from a desert soil crusts sample collected from the Shapotou region of Tengger Desert, north-west China. The substrate mycelia of this isolate were well-developed and branched, but not fragmented. The maturity aerial mycelia formed short chains of small, rod-shaped spores. The strain contained ll-diaminopimelic acid, dd-diaminopimelic acid, galactose, glucose, ribose and xylose in its whole-cell hydrolysates. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, N-acetylglucosamine-containing phospholipids, phosphatidylinositolmannoside and glycolipids. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10(H6) and MK-10(H8). The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 72.2 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequences comparison showed that strain I12A-02601T was most closely related to members of the family Nocardioidaceae, such as Actinopolymorpha alba YIM 48868T (93.3 % sequence similarity), Actinopolymorpha pittospori PIP 143T (93.2 %), and Flindersiella endophytica EUM 378T (93.2 %). In the phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain I12A-02601T formed a clade with the members of the genera Flindersiella, Thermasporomyces, and Actinopolymorpha in the family Nocardioidaceae. Combined data from this taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach, led to the conclusion that strain I12A-02601T represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Nocardioidaceae, for which the name Tenggerimyces mesophilus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is I12A-02601T ( = CPCC 203544T = DSM 45829T = NBRC 109454T).

© 2017 IUMS. A novel anaerobic pectinolytic bacterium (strain 14T) was isolated from human faeces. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain 14T belonged to the family Ruminococcaceae, but was located separately from known clostridial clusters within the taxon. The closest cultured relative of strain 14T was Acetivibrio cellulolyticus (89.7% sequence similarity). Strain 14T shared ~99% sequence similarity with cloned 16S rRNA gene sequences from uncultured bacteria derived from the human gut. Cells were Gram-stain-positive, non-motile cocci approximately 0.6μm in diameter. Strain 14T fermented pectins from citrus peel, apple, and kiwifruit as well as carbohydrates that are constituents of pectins and hemicellulose, such as galacturonic acid, xylose, and arabinose. TEM images of strain 14T, cultured in association with plant tissues, suggested extracellular fibrolytic activity associated with the bacterial cells, forming zones of degradation in the pectin-rich regions of middle lamella. Phylogenetic and phenotypic analysis supported the differentiation of strain 14T as a novel genus in the family Ruminococcaceae. The name Monoglobus pectinilyticus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is 14T (JCM 31914T=DSM 104782T).

Strain B538T is a Gram-positive, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, which was isolated from Xinjiang province in China. This organism grew optimally at 30–35 °C and pH 8.0–8.5. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain B538T belonged to the genus Paenibacillus and chemotaxonomic data (DNA G+C content, 47.0 mol%; major isoprenoid quinone, MK-7; cell wall type, A1γ meso-diaminopimelic acid; major fatty acids, anteiso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 0) supported affiliation of the isolate with the genus Paenibacillus. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that the isolate was most closely related to Paenibacillus glycanilyticus DS-1T, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 98.1 %; sequence similarities to other members of the genus Paenibacillus used in the phylogenetic tree were less than 96.5 %. The DNA–DNA relatedness between strain B538T and P. glycanilyticus DS-1T was about 8.0 %. On the basis of physiological and molecular properties, strain B538T (=KCTC 3952T=DSM 16970T) is proposed as the type strain of a novel species within the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus xinjiangensis sp. nov. is proposed.
