Seven Gram-positive, coryneform bacteria with virtually identical whole-organism protein patterns were isolated from the surface of smear-ripened cheeses. Representatives of these strains were the subject of a polyphasic study designed to establish their taxonomic status. The organisms formed a distinct branch in the Microbacteriaceae 16S rRNA gene tree and were most closely related to members of the genus Agrococcus, sharing sequence similarities of 95.4–98.7 %. The chemotaxonomic profiles of the strains were consistent with their classification in the genus Agrococcus. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data show that the isolates should be classified in the genus Agrococcus as representatives of a novel species. The name Agrococcus casei sp. nov. is proposed for this taxon. Isolate R-17892t2T (=DSM 18061T=LMG 22410T) is the type strain of Agrococcus casei sp. nov.

Phyletic Line

The taxonomic status of an actinomycete isolated from sediment collected from the Mariana Trench was established using a combination of genotypic and phenotypic data. Isolate MT8T had chemotaxonomic and morphological properties consistent with its classification in the genus Williamsia, and formed a distinct phyletic line in the 16S rRNA gene tree together with the type strain of Williamsia muralis. The isolate was readily distinguished from the latter, and from representatives of other Williamsia species, using DNA–DNA relatedness and phenotypic criteria. Predominant cellular fatty acids were oleic, palmitic and tuberculostearic acids and a hexadecenoic acid. The DNA G+C content was 65.2 mol%. It is apparent that the isolate belongs to a novel species of Williamsia. Strain MT8T (=DSM 44944T=NCIMB 14085T) was thus considered to be the type strain of a novel species in the genus Williamsia, for which the name Williamsia marianensis sp. nov. is proposed.

Phenotypic Data

A polyphasic study was undertaken to determine the taxonomic status of six strains received as Streptomyces hygroscopicus. The strains had chemotaxonomic and morphological properties typical of members of the genus Streptomyces and formed distinct phyletic lines in the Streptomyces 16S rRNA gene tree. These strains were distinguished from one another and from phylogenetically close neighbours using a combination of phenotypic properties. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data showed that all six strains form distinct centres of taxonomic variation within the genus Streptomyces. The following novel species are proposed to accommodate the strains: Streptomyces aldersoniae sp. nov. (type strain DSM 41909T =NRRL 18513T), Streptomyces angustmyceticus sp. nov., comb. nov. (type strain DSM 41683T=NRRL B-2347T), Streptomyces ascomycinicus sp. nov. (type strain DSM 40822T =NBRC 13981T), Streptomyces decoyicus sp. nov., comb. nov. (type strain DSM 41427T =NRRL 2666T), Streptomyces milbemycinicus sp. nov. (type strain DSM 41911T =NRRL 5739T) and Streptomyces wellingtoniae sp. nov. (type strain DSM 40632T =NRRL B-1503T).

Taxonomic Approach

The taxonomic status of an actinobacterial strain isolated from Mariana Trench sediment was determined using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The strain, isolate MT1.1T, formed a distinct clade in the Micrococcineae 16S rRNA gene tree together with Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis DSM 20448T. The organism had chemical and phenotypic properties consistent with its classification in the genus Dermacoccus and could be distinguished from D. nishinomiyaensis DSM 20448T using DNA–DNA relatedness and phenotypic data. The G+C content of the DNA of isolate MT1.1T was 65.2 mol%. It is evident that the organism merits recognition as a novel species in the genus Dermacoccus. The name proposed for this taxon is Dermacoccus abyssi sp. nov.; the type strain is MT1.1T (=DSM 17573T=NCIMB 14084T). The organism grows well at 40 MPa and hence is piezotolerant.

Sequence Similarities

Three novel endophytic strains, designated 17B10-2-12T, 26C10-4-4 and D13-10-4-9, were isolated from the bark of Populus euramericana in Heze, Shandong Province, China. They were Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, non-motile, short-rod-shaped, oxidase-positive and catalase-negative. A phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene showed that the three novel strains clustered with members of the family Comamonadaceae and formed a distinct branch. The isolates shared 100 % similarities among themselves and had the highest sequence similarity with Xenophilus azovorans DSM 13620T (95.2 %) and Xenophilus arseniciresistens YW8T (95.0 %), and less than 95.0 % sequence similarities with members of other species. Their major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C17 : 0 cyclo, C18 : 1ω7c and C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and three unknown aminophospholipids. The predominant quinone was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8). The DNA G+C content was 69.5–70.0 mol%. Based on data from a polyphasic taxonomy study, the three strains represent a novel species of a novel genus of the family Comamonadaceae, for which the name Corticibacter populi gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 17B10-2-12T ( = CFCC 12099T = KCTC 42091T).

Streptomyces Species

The taxonomic status of six neutrotolerant acidophilic streptomycetes isolated from acidic soils in Yunnan Province, China, was established using a polyphasic approach. The morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics revealed that the isolates belong to the genus Streptomyces. Almost complete 16S rRNA gene sequences of the isolates were determined and aligned with available corresponding sequences of representatives of the family Streptomycetaceae; phylogenetic trees were inferred using four tree-making algorithms. The isolates formed a distinct, albeit heterogeneous, subclade in the Streptomyces 16S rRNA gene tree together with the type strain of Streptomyces yeochonensis, but were readily distinguishable from the latter using DNA–DNA hybridization and phenotypic data. It was evident from the genotypic and phenotypic data that the isolates belonged to four novel Streptomyces species, for which the following names are proposed: Streptomyces guanduensis sp. nov. (type strain 701T=CGMCC 4.2022T=JCM 13274T), Streptomyces paucisporeus sp. nov. (type strain 1413T=CGMCC 4.2025T=JCM 13276T), Streptomyces rubidus sp. nov. (type strain 13c15T=CGMCC 4.2026T=JCM 13277T) and Streptomyces yanglinensis sp. nov. (type strain 1307T=CGMCC 4.2023T=JCM 13275T); isolates 317 and 913 belong to this latter species.

Sequence Similarities

Two yellow-pigmented, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterial strains, GH1-10T and GH29-5T, were isolated from greenhouse soils in Korea. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that these strains were related to members of the genus Flavobacterium. Strain GH1-10T was most closely related to Flavobacterium psychrolimnae and Flavobacterium denitrificans, with sequence similarities of 95.9 and 95.2 %, respectively. Strain GH29-5T was most closely related to ‘Flavobacterium saliodium’, F. denitrificans and Flavobacterium frigoris, with sequence similarities of 94.3, 92.5 and 92.5 %, respectively. The major cellular fatty acids of GH1-10T were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, and those of GH29-5T were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 1 G and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH. Both strains contained menaquinone with six isoprene units (MK-6) as the sole quinone. The DNA G+C contents of GH1-10T and GH29-5T were 35 and 39 mol%, respectively. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic data presented, it is concluded that the two bacteria represent two separate novel species of the genus Flavobacterium. The names proposed to accommodate these organisms are Flavobacterium daejeonense sp. nov., with type strain GH1-10T (=KACC 11422T=DSM 17708T), and Flavobacterium suncheonense sp. nov., with type strain GH29-5T (=KACC 11423T=DSM 17707T).

A study was conducted to determine the taxonomic status of six actinomycete strains isolated from root nodules of Lupinus angustifolius. The strains were filamentous, Gram-positive and produced single spores at the tip of the hyphae. Phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and morphological analyses demonstrated that all six strains belonged to the genus Micromonospora. According to the 16S rRNA gene sequence data, the strains were divided into two clusters that are moderately related to Micromonospora mirobrigensis, Micromonospora matsumotoense and Micromonospora purpureochromogenes. Fatty acid patterns also supported the division of the strains, and significant differences between the two groups were found in the amounts of iso-15 : 0, iso-16 : 0, iso-16 : 1 and iso-17 : 0. Furthermore, the two groups showed physiological differences which included utilization of arabinose, trehalose, alanine and sucrose and xylan hydrolysis. Finally, DNA–DNA hybridization and ribotyping studies confirmed that each group represents a novel species. Based on the genotypic and phenotypic data, the novel species Micromonospora lupini sp. nov. (type strain Lupac 14NT =DSM 44874T =LMG 24055T) and Micromonospora saelicesensis sp. nov. (type strain Lupac 09T =DSM 44871T =LMG 24056T) are proposed.

The taxonomic positions of two soil actinomycetes, strains 117T and 43401T, provisionally assigned to the genus Nocardia were determined in a polyphasic study. The organisms were found to have phenotypic properties typical of members of the genus Nocardia, and formed a distinct branch in the Nocardia 16S rRNA gene tree. It was evident from the phylogenetic data that the isolates were most closely, albeit loosely, associated with the type strains of Nocardia nova and Nocardia pseudobrasiliensis. However, all four of these organisms were readily distinguishable from one another using DNA–DNA relatedness and phenotypic data. It is evident from the genotypic and phenotypic data that the two isolates should be recognized as novel species of the genus Nocardia. It is proposed, therefore, that strains 117T (=CGMCC 4.1904T=JCM 12860T) and 43401T (=CGMCC 4.1905T=JCM 12861T) be classified in the genus Nocardia as the type strains of Nocardia miyunensis sp. nov. and Nocardia jiangxiensis sp. nov., respectively.

Strain CCUG 50899, a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, motile bacterium isolated from industrial environment in Sweden and tentatively assigned to the species Ochrobactrum anthropi, was studied in order to clarify its taxonomic status. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities placed the strain in the genus Ochrobactrum, sharing highest similarity with the type strains of Ochrobactrum rhizosphaerae (99.3 %), Ochrobactrum thiophenivorans (98.7 %), Ochrobactrum pseudogrignonense (98.6 %) and Ochrobactrum grignonense (98.5 %). The fatty acid profile of [O. anthropi] CCUG 50899 (major fatty acids C18 : 1 ω7c and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and presence of C18 : 1 2-OH), the polar lipid profile (diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine, two unknown aminolipids and an unknown phospholipid), the presence of the quinone system ubiquinone Q-10 and a polyamine pattern with the major compounds putrescine and spermidine and moderate amounts of sym-homospermidine supported its affiliation to the genus Ochrobactrum. DNA–DNA reassociation experiments with the type strains of its closest relatives O. rhizosphaerae, O. pseudogrignonense, O. thiophenivorans and O. grignonense demonstrated that [O. anthropi] CCUG 50899 should be placed in a novel species, which is distinguishable from related species by a set of biochemical traits. Based on these data, reclassification of [O. anthropi] CCUG 50899 as the type strain of a novel species appears to be justified. Hence, we describe a novel species to accommodate this strain, for which we propose the name Ochrobactrum pituitosum sp. nov. The type strain is CCUG 50899T (=DSM 22207T).

The taxonomic positions of two actinobacterial strains isolated from Mariana Trench sediment were established using a combination of genotypic and phenotypic data. The strains, isolates MT2.1T and MT2.2T, formed a distinct phyletic line in the Micrococcineae 16S rRNA gene tree together with Dermacoccus abyssi NCIMB 14084T. The isolates had chemical and phenotypic properties typical of members of the genus Dermacoccus and could be distinguished sharply from one another and from the type strains of Dermacoccus abyssi and Dermacoccus nishinomiyaensis using DNA–DNA relatedness data. A range of phenotypic properties served to distinguish the two novel strains from one another and from the type strains of established Dermacoccus species. The G+C contents of the DNAs of strains MT2.1T and MT2.2T were 66.8 and 69.1 mol%, respectively. It is evident that the two isolates merit recognition as novel species within the genus Dermacoccus. The names proposed for these taxa are Dermacoccus barathri sp. nov. (type strain MT2.1T=DSM 17574T=NCIMB 14081T) and Dermacoccus profundi sp. nov. (type strain MT2.2T=DSM 17575T=NCIMB 14084T).
