Sixteen Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming isolates were obtained from a nitrifying inoculum. Analysis of repetitive sequence-based PCR and SDS-PAGE banding patterns, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridizations showed that the isolates belonged to various groups within the genus Pseudomonas. One group of isolates could be assigned to Pseudomonas migulae and a second to Pseudomonas veronii. Two groups could be differentiated genotypically from each other and from all other currently known Pseudomonas species. Analysis of the fatty acid composition and physiological and biochemical tests allowed differentiation of these groups from their closest phylogenetic neighbours and they therefore represent two novel species within the genus Pseudomonas, for which the names Pseudomonas peli sp. nov. and Pseudomonas borbori sp. nov. are proposed, with strains LMG 23201T (=DSM 17833T=R-20805T) and LMG 23199T (=DSM 17834T=R-20821T), respectively, as the type strains.

Three Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, nitrate-reducing isolates (R-32746, R-32768T and R-32729T) were obtained from soil. Analysis of repetitive sequence-based PCR showed that the three isolates represented two different strains. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization placed them within the genus Stenotrophomonas and revealed that they were genotypically different from each other and from all recognized Stenotrophomonas species. Analysis of the fatty acid composition and physiological and biochemical tests allowed differentiation from their closest phylogenetic neighbours. They are therefore considered to represent two novel species, for which the names Stenotrophomonas terrae sp. nov. and Stenotrophomonas humi sp. nov. are proposed, with strains R-32768T (=LMG 23958T=DSM 18941T) and R-32729T (=LMG 23959T=DSM 18929T), respectively, as the type strains.

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium was isolated from the soil of a ginseng field in Daejeon, South Korea, and characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain DCY34T belonged to the family Sphingomonadaceae, and the highest degree of sequence similarity was found with Sphingopyxis witflariensis W-50T (97.1 %), Sphingopyxis ginsengisoli Gsoil 250T (97.0 %), Sphingopyxis chilensis S37T (96.9 %), Sphingopyxis macrogoltabida IFO 15033T (96.8 %), Sphingopyxis alaskensis RB2256T (96.7 %) and Sphingopyxis taejonensis JSS54T (96.7 %). Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain DCY34T possessed ubiquinone Q-10 as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone, which is common to members of the genus Sphingopyxis. The predominant fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c (27.5 %), summed feature 4 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C15 : 0 iso 2-OH; 18.6 %), C16 : 0 (15.6 %) and summed feature 8 (C19 : 1 ω6c and/or unknown 18.864; 15.4 %). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, sphingoglycolipid and an unknown polar lipid. The results of physiological and biochemical tests clearly demonstrated that strain DCY34T represented a separate species and supported its affiliation to the genus Sphingopyxis. Based on these data, the new isolate represents a novel species, for which the name Sphingopyxis panaciterrulae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DCY34T (=KCTC 22112T=JCM 14844T).

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria was isolated from a nitrifying inoculum. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, this strain, designated LMG 22951T, was shown to belong to the ‘Alphaproteobacteria’ and to be related to Devosia neptuniae (97·4 %) and Devosia riboflavina (97·0 %). The results of DNA–DNA hybridization, analysis of fatty acid composition, SDS-PAGE, physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of LMG 22951T from the two recognized Devosia species. LMG 22951T therefore represents a novel species within this genus, for which the name Devosia limi is proposed. The type strain is LMG 22951T (=DSM 17137T).

A pink-pigmented, facultatively methylotrophic bacterium, designated strain JT1T, was isolated from a thallus of the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha L. and was analysed by using a polyphasic approach. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis placed the strain in a clade with Methylobacterium adhaesivum AR27T, Methylobacterium fujisawaense DSM 5686T, Methylobacterium radiotolerans JCM 2831T and Methylobacterium jeotgali S2R03-9T, with which it showed sequence similarities of 97.8, 97.7, 97.2 and 97.4 %, respectively. However, levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain JT1T and these and the type strains of other closely related species were lower than 70 %. Cells of JT1T stained Gram-negative and were motile, rod-shaped and characterized by numerous fimbriae-like appendages on the outer surface of their wall (density up to 200 µm−2). Major fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c and C16 : 0. Based on the morphological, physiological and biochemical data presented, strain JT1T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Methylobacterium, for which the name Methylobacterium marchantiae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JT1T ( = DSM 21328T  = CCUG 56108T).

A Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain DCY01T, was isolated from soil from a ginseng field in South Korea and was characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain DCY01T belonged to the Gammaproteobacteria and was most closely related to Stenotrophomonas koreensis KCTC 12211T (98.4 % similarity), Stenotrophomonas humi R-32729T (97.2 %), Stenotrophomonas terrae R-32768 (97.1 %), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia DSM 50170T (96.9 %) and Stenotrophomonas nitritireducens DSM 12575T (96.8 %). Chemotaxonomic analyses revealed that strain DCY01T possessed a quinone system with Q-8 as the predominant compound, and iso-C15 : 0 (28.2 %), C16 : 0 10-methyl (13.2 %), iso-C15 : 1 F (10.8 %) and C15 : 0 (7.5 %) as major fatty acids, corroborating assignment of strain DCY01T to the genus Stenotrophomonas. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests clearly demonstrated that strain DCY01T represents a species distinct from recognized Stenotrophomonas species. Based on these data, DCY01T (=KCTC 12539T=NBRC 101154T) should be classified as the type strain of a novel species of the genus Stenotrophomonas, for which the name Stenotrophomonas ginsengisoli sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, designated LMG 2337T, was isolated from the blood of a patient with endocarditis and characterized. The strain was affiliated with the alphaproteobacterial genus Brevundimonas, with Brevundimonas diminuta LMG 2089T (98.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Brevundimonas terrae KSL-145T (97.5 %) as its closest relatives. This affiliation was supported by chemotaxonomic data: the G+C content was 66.3 mol %, the major polar lipids were phosphatidyl diacylglycerol, sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol and phosphatidyl glucopyranosyl diacylglycerol and the major fatty acids were summed feature 7 (one or more of C18 : 1 ω7c, C18 : 1 ω9t and C18 : 1 ω12t) and C16 : 0. Strain LMG 2337T displayed an unusually broad substrate spectrum. The results from DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests allowed the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain LMG 2337T from all of the type strains of hitherto-described Brevundimonas species. The strain therefore represents a novel species, for which the name Brevundimonas vancanneytii sp. nov. is proposed, with type strain LMG 2337T (=CCUG 1797T =ATCC 14736T).

A Gram-negative, obligately aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from greenhouse soil used to cultivate lettuce. The strain, GH2-10T, was characterized on the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the isolate belonged to the genus Devosia, with highest sequence similarity (98.5 %) to Devosia riboflavina IFO 13584T. Sequence similarities with other strains tested were below 97.0 %. Strain GH2-10T had Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c and C16 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 59.5 mol%. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization experiments (47 % relatedness between D. riboflavina DSM 7230T and strain GH2-10T) and physiological and biochemical tests suggested that strain GH2-10T represents a novel species of the genus Devosia, for which the name Devosia soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GH2-10T (=KACC 11509T=DSM 17780T).

A Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic strain was isolated from black tea. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons, strain QC88-366T was grouped into the genus Pantoea, being related most closely to the type strains of Pantoea gaviniae (98.5 %) and Pantoea calida (98.3 %); sequence similarities were ≤ 97.0 % to the type strains of other species of the genus Pantoea. Multilocus sequence analysis based on partial sequences of the gyrB, rpoB, infB and atpD genes also revealed P. gaviniae and P. calida as the closest phylogenetic relatives. The fatty acid profile showed the major fatty acids of strain QC88-366T were C16 : 0, C16 : 1 and C18 : 1, the same as those of its closest related species. However, the ratio of C16 : 1, C17 : 0 cyclo, C18 : 1 and C18 : 2 differed slightly compared with those of the related neighbours. In addition, the results of physiological and biochemical tests also allowed the phenotypic differentiation of strain QC88-366T from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. The G+C content of the DNA was 57.2 mol%. Strain QC88-366T therefore represents a novel species of the genus Pantoea, for which the name Pantoea theicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is QC88-366T ( = DSM 29212T = NBRC 110557T).

A Gram-positive, coccoid, non-endospore-forming actinobacterium (strain CCUG 35676T) was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid from a 24-year-old woman in Gothenborg, Sweden. Based on pairwise 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, strain CCUG 35676T was shown to belong to the genus Dietzia and was most closely related to the type strains of Dietzia aerolata (99.3 %), Dietzia lutea (98.8 %), Dietzia schimae (98.5 %), Dietzia maris (98.5 %), Dietzia alimentaria (98.3 %) and Dietzia cercidiphylli (98.0 %). The major menaquinone was MK-8(H2). Major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, an unidentified aminophospholipid (APL1), an unidentified phospholipid (PL1) and unidentified glycolipids (GL1 and GL3). Numerous other lipids were also detected. The fatty acid profile, comprising C16 : 0, C17 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c and 10-methyl-C18 : 0 as major fatty acids, supported the affiliation of strain CCUG 35676T to the genus Dietzia. On the basis of the results of physiological and biochemical tests and DNA–DNA hybridizations, a clear phenotypic and genotypic differentiation of strain CCUG 35676T from the most closely related Dietzia species is possible. Strain CCUG 35676T represents a novel species, for which the name Dietzia aurantiaca sp. nov. is proposed, with CCUG 35676T ( = JCM 17645T) as the type strain.

An actinomycete strain was recovered from a pond where radon is known to be dissolved. A polyphasic study was undertaken to identify the new isolate. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain WA201T showed closest similarity to the type strains of Micromonospora carbonacea (98·5 %) and Micromonospora matsumotoense (98·1 %). The chemotaxonomic results confirmed the taxonomic position of the isolate in the genus Micromonospora. DNA–DNA relatedness values supported the classification of this isolate as a novel species. A number of physiological and biochemical tests were able to distinguish strain WA201T from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. Therefore, it is proposed that isolate WA201T (=DSM 44830T=LMG 22229T) be considered the type strain representing a novel species, Micromonospora mirobrigensis sp. nov.
