Type Strains

Two bacterial strains, IFM 10211T and IFM 10200T, were isolated from the sputum of two Japanese patients, and were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. The two strains were found to have morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic properties that were consistent with their assignment to the genus Gordonia, except for a few chemotaxonomic characteristics. Almost complete 16S rRNA gene sequences of the two strains were determined; the data showed that they are related distantly to Gordonia amarae, Gordonia hirsuta, Gordonia hydrophobica and Gordonia sihwensis, showing 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to the type strains of these species of 96.2–97.9 %. DNA–DNA relatedness data coupled with the combination of genotypic and phenotypic data indicated that the two strains are representatives of two novel, separate species. The names proposed to accommodate these two strains are Gordonia araii sp. nov. (type strain IFM 10211T=DSM 44811T=NBRC 100433T=JCM 12131T) and Gordonia effusa sp. nov. (type strain IFM 10200T=DSM 44810T=NBRC 100432T=JCM 12130T).

Two novel strains, GR20-10T and GR20-13T, were isolated from soil using R2A medium. The soil sample was collected from a field in the Yeongju region of Korea that was cultivated with Korean ginseng. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these strains formed a cluster with several uncultured bacterial clones and with Flexibacter filiformis, Flexibacter sancti, Flexibacter japonensis, Cytophaga arvensicola and Flavobacterium ferrugineum (recently reclassified as Terrimonas ferruginea) in the phylum Bacteroidetes. The level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the two novel strains was 98.9 %. Isolates GR20-10T and GR20-13T showed the highest sequence similarities to Flexibacter japonensis IFO 16041T (91.8 and 91.9 %, respectively) and T. ferruginea ATCC 13524T (90.4 and 90.6 %, respectively). The whole-cell fatty acid profiles of the two isolates were similar and their major fatty acids were 15 : 0 iso, 17 : 0 iso 3-OH and 15 : 1 iso G. The major isoprenoid quinone of both strains was MK-7. The G+C contents of GR20-10T and GR20-13T were 45.8 and 44.3 mol%, respectively. DNA–DNA hybridization (57 % DNA–DNA hybridization value) and phenotypic data indicated that strains GR20-10T and GR20-13T each belong to a separate species. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic data and genomic distinctiveness, strains GR20-10T and GR20-13T represent two novel species in a novel genus in the phylum Bacteroidetes; the names Niastella koreensis gen. nov., sp. nov. (the type species; type strain GR20-10T=KACC 11465T=DSM 17620T) and Niastella yeongjuensis sp. nov. (type strain GR20-13T=KACC 11466T=DSM 17621T) are proposed.

Forty strains isolated from soil taken from a hay meadow were assigned to the genus Dactylosporangium on the basis of colonial properties. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolates formed a group that was most closely related to the type strain of Dactylosporangium aurantiacum, but well separated from other Dactylosporangium type strains and from ‘Dactylosporangium salmoneum’ NRRL B-16294. Twelve of 13 representative isolates had identical 16S rRNA gene sequences and formed a subclade that was distinct from corresponding phyletic lines composed of the remaining isolate, strain BK63T, the ‘D. salmoneum’ strain and the type strains of recognized Dactylosporangium species. DNA–DNA relatedness data indicated that representatives of the multi-membered 16S rRNA gene subclade, isolate BK63T and the ‘D. salmoneum’ subclade formed distinct genomic species; all of these organisms had chemotaxonomic and morphological properties consistent with their classification in the genus Dactylosporangium. They were also distinguished from one another and from the type strains of recognized Dactylosporangium species based on a range of phenotypic properties. Combined genotypic and phenotypic data showed that isolate BK63T, isolates BK51T, BK53 and BK69, and strain NRRL B-16294T should be classified in the genus Dactylosporangium as representing novel species. The names proposed for these species are Dactylosporangium luridum sp. nov. (type strain BK63T  = DSM 45324T  = KACC 20933T  = NRRL B-24775T), Dactylosporangium luteum sp. nov. (type strain BK51T  = DSM 45323T  = KACC 20899T  = NRRL B-24774T) and Dactylosporangium salmoneum sp. nov., nom. rev. (type strain NRRL B-16294T  = ATCC 31222T  = DSM 43910T  = JCM 3272T  = NBRC 14103T).

Bacterial strains belonging to DNA hybridization groups (HG) II, IV and V, in the Erwinia herbicola–Enterobacter agglomerans complex, of Brenner et al. [Int J Syst Bacteriol 34 (1984), 45–55] were suggested previously to belong to the genus Pantoea, but have never been formally described and classified. Additionally, it has been shown in several studies that Pectobacterium cypripedii is more closely related to species of Pantoea than to those of Pectobacterium. In this study, the phylogenetic positions of Brenner's DNA HG II, IV and V and Pectobacterium cypripedii were re-examined by both 16S rRNA gene sequencing and multilocus sequence analyses (MLSA) based on the gyrB, rpoB, atpD and infB genes. The analyses revealed that DNA HG II, IV and V and Pectobacterium cypripedii form five separate branches within the genus Pantoea (strains from HG V were split into two branches). DNA–DNA hybridization data further confirmed that DNA HG II, IV and V constitute four separate species. Pectobacterium cypripedii was shown to be a close phylogenetic relative of Pantoea dispersa and DNA HG IV by both 16S rRNA gene sequence and MLSA analyses. Biochemical analyses performed on strains from DNA HG II, IV and V and Pectobacterium cypripedii confirmed their taxonomic position within the genus Pantoea and revealed phenotypic characteristics that allow the differentiation of these species from each other and from their closest phylogenetic neighbours. It is proposed to emend the description of the genus Pantoea and to describe Pantoea septica sp. nov. for DNA HG II (type strain LMG 5345T =BD 874T =CDC 3123-70T), Pantoea eucrina sp. nov. for DNA HG IV (type strain LMG 2781T =BD 872T =CDC 1741-71T =LMG 5346T), Pantoea brenneri sp. nov. for strains of DNA HG V excluding LMG 24534 (type strain LMG 5343T =BD 873T =CDC 3482-71T) and Pantoea conspicua sp. nov. for the remaining strain of DNA HG V (type strain LMG 24534T =BD 805T =CDC 3527-71T) and to transfer Pectobacterium cypripedii to the genus as Pantoea cypripedii comb. nov. (type strain LMG 2657T =ATCC 29267T =DSM 3873T =LMG 2655T).

Two novel Psychrobacter-like bacterial strains, JG-219T and JG-220, were isolated from jeotgal, a traditional Korean fermented seafood. Cells of strains JG-219T and JG-220 were Gram-negative, non-motile coccobacilli. Growth of the two strains was observed at 4–32 °C. They grew optimally in the presence of 2–5 % (w/v) NaCl. Strains JG-219T and JG-220 contained C18 : 1 ω9c and C17 : 1 ω8c as the major fatty acids and Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone. The DNA G+C contents of strains JG-219T and JG-220 were 43·5 and 43·0 mol%, respectively. The two strains showed no difference in their 16S rRNA gene sequences but exhibited minor differences in their phenotypic properties. Strains JG-219T and JG-220 exhibited levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 95·2–98·7 % to the type strains of recognized Psychrobacter species. The mean level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strains JG-219T and JG-220 was 84·4 %. The two strains exhibited levels of DNA–DNA relatedness of 1·5–32·9 % to the type strains of eight phylogenetically related Psychrobacter species. On the basis of phenotypic data and phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, the two strains were classified as representing a novel species within the genus Psychrobacter, Psychrobacter cibarius sp. nov. The type strain is JG-219T (=KCTC 12256T=DSM 16327T).

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, motile by single polar flagellum and ovoid or rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated JBTF-M23T, was isolated from tidal flat sediment collected from the Yellow Sea, Republic of Korea. Neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain JBTF-M23T fell within the clade comprising the type strains of Pseudoalteromonas species, clustering with the type strains of P. byunsanensis and P. amylolytica . Strain JBTF-M23T exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value (98.6 %) to the type strain of P. rubra and sequence similarities of 98.3 and 97.7 % to the type strains of P. byunsanensis and P. amylolytica, respectively. The DNA G+C content of strain JBTF-M23T from genomic sequence data was 41.98 %. The ANI and dDDH values between strain JBTF-M23T and the type strains of P. rubra , P. byunsanensis and P. amylolytica were 71.3–76.6 and 19.4–19.9 %, respectively. Strain JBTF-M23T contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c, C16 : 0 and C18 : 1  ω7c as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids of strain JBTF-M23T were phosphatidylethanolamine and one unidentified aminolipid. Distinguished phenotypic properties, along with the phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain JBTF-M23T is separated from recognized Pseudoalteromonas species. On the basis of the data presented, strain JBTF-M23Tis considered to represent a novel species of the genus Pseudoalteromonas , for which the name Pseudoalteromonas caenipelagi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JBTF-M23T(=KACC 19900T=NBRC 113647T).

Two strains (Gsoil 492T and Gsoil 643T) isolated in Pocheon Province, South Korea, from soil used for ginseng cultivation were characterized using a polyphasic approach. Both isolates comprised Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacteria. They had similar chemotaxonomic characteristics, e.g. containing MK-7 as the major quinone, having a DNA G+C content in the range 42.5–43.3 mol% and possessing iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH as the major fatty acids. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the two isolates formed a tight cluster with several uncultured bacterial clones and with the established genera Terrimonas, Niastella and Chitinophaga in the phylum Bacteroidetes but were clearly separate from these genera. The levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the isolates and type strains of related genera ranged from 87.5 to 92.4 %. Furthermore, the results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed phenotypic differentiation of the isolates from phylogenetically closely related species with validly published names. The level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the two strains was 99.5 %, whereas the DNA–DNA relatedness value was 44 %, indicating that they represent separate species. On the basis of the polyphasic evidence, a novel genus, Flavisolibacter gen. nov., and two novel species, Flavisolibacter ginsengiterrae sp. nov. (type strain Gsoil 492T=KCTC 12656T=DSM 18136T) and Flavisolibacter ginsengisoli sp. nov. (type strain Gsoil 643T=KCTC 12657T=DSM 18119T), are proposed. Flavisolibacter ginsengiterrae is the type species of the genus.

Three strains, RBY-1T, PHD-1 and PHD-2, were isolated from fruits in Thailand. The strains were Gram-negative, aerobic rods with polar flagella, produced acetic acid from ethanol and did not oxidize acetate or lactate. In phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and 16S–23S rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences, the strains formed a cluster separate from the type strains of recognized species of the genus Gluconobacter. The calculated 16S rRNA gene sequence and 16S–23S rRNA gene ITS sequence similarities were respectively 97.7–99.7 % and 77.3–98.1 %. DNA G+C contents ranged from 57.2 to 57.6 mol%. The strains showed high DNA–DNA relatedness of 100 % to one another, but low DNA–DNA relatedness of 11–34 % to the tested type strains of recognized Gluconobacter species. Q-10 was the major quinone. On the basis of the genotypic and phenotypic data obtained, the three strains clearly represent a novel species, for which the name Gluconobacter nephelii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RBY-1T ( = BCC 36733T = NBRC 106061T = PCU 318T), whose DNA G+C content is 57.2 mol%.

ABSTRACT A Gram-stain-negative bacterial strain, JBTF-M27T, was isolated from a tidal flat from Yellow Sea, Republic of Korea. Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain JBTF-M27T fell within the clade comprising the type strains of Sulfitobacter species. Strain JBTF-M27T exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.8%) to the type strain of S. porphyrae. Genomic ANI and dDDH values of strain JBTF-M27T between the type strains of Sulfitobacter species were less than 76.1 and 19.2%, respectively. Mean DNA-DNA relatedness value between strain JBTF-M27T and the type strain of S. porphyrae was 21%. DNA G + C content of strain JBTF-M27T from genome sequence was 57.8% (genomic analysis). Strain JBTF-M27T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18:1ω7c as the major fatty acid. The major polar lipids of strain JBTF-M27T were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol and one unidentified aminolipid. Distinguished phenotypic properties, along with the phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain JBTF-M27T is separated from recognized Sulfitobacter species. On the basis of the data presented, strain JBTF-M27T ( = KACC 21648T = NBRC 114356T) is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Sulfitobacter, for which the name Sulfitobacter sediminilitoris sp. nov. is proposed.

A novel actinomycete, strain KST3-10T, was isolated from sand sediment of a beach in Jeju, Korea, and was subjected to polyphasic taxonomic characterization. The organism produced circular, smooth, translucent, apricot-coloured colonies comprising coccoid- or rod-shaped cells. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the organism belonged to the family Geodermatophilaceae and consistently formed a distinct sub-branch outside the radiation of the genus Blastococcus. The organism showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 98.2 % with respect to Blastococcus aggregatus DSM 4725T and 98.1 % with respect to Blastococcus saxobsidens BC444T. The type strains of the two Blastococcus species shared 98.2 % sequence similarity with respect to each other, whereas the levels of sequence similarity between the novel organism and the type strains of the less closely related neighbours, Modestobacter multiseptatus and Geodermatophilus obscurus, were in the range 96.2–96.9 %. The physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic data revealed that the novel organism can be readily differentiated from members of the genus Blastococcus and that it merits separate species status. On the basis of the phenotypic and genotypic evidence, strain KST3-10T represents a novel species of the genus Blastococcus, for which the name Blastococcus jejuensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KST3-10T (=NRRL B-24440T=KCCM 42251T).

Two Gram-negative, non-motile, pleomorphic bacterial strains, DS-40T and DS-45T, were isolated from a soil sample collected from Dokdo, Korea, and their exact taxonomic positions were investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Strains DS-40T and DS-45T grew optimally at 25 °C and pH 6.5–7.5 in the presence of 0–1.0 % (w/v) NaCl. They contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and possessed iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH) as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C contents of strains DS-40T and DS-45T were 36.0 and 36.8 mol%, respectively. Strains DS-40T and DS-45T shared a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 96.7 % and demonstrated a mean DNA–DNA relatedness level of 12 %. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strains DS-40T and DS-45T were most closely phylogenetically affiliated with the genus Pedobacter of the family Sphingobacteriaceae. Strains DS-40T and DS-45T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 91.4–93.7 and 89.9–91.6 % with respect to the type strains of Pedobacter and Sphingobacterium species, respectively. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties, together with the phylogenetic data, support the assignment of strains DS-40T and DS-45T as two distinct species within the genus Pedobacter. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strains DS-40T and DS-45T represent two novel species of the genus Pedobacter, for which the names Pedobacter lentus sp. nov. and Pedobacter terricola sp. nov. are proposed, respectively. The respective type strains are DS-40T (=KCTC 12875T=JCM 14593T) and DS-45T (=KCTC 12876T=JCM 14594T).
