Extremely Halophilic Archaea

Two extremely halophilic archaea, strains 9-3T and 31-hongT, were isolated from Aibi salt lake and Aiding salt lake in Xin-Jiang, China. Their morphology, physiology, biochemical features, polar lipid compositions and 16S rRNA gene sequences were characterized in order to elucidate their taxonomic status. The results from this study indicated that strains 9-3T and 31-hongT are members of the genus Halorubrum. Their physiological properties and polar lipid compositions are clearly different from those of the currently described species of Halorubrum. DNA–DNA relatedness values for strain 9-3T with respect to its closely related neighbours Halorubrum saccharovorum JCM 8865T and Halorubrum lacusprofundi JCM 8891T were 51.6 and 25.1 %, respectively, DNA–DNA relatedness values for strain 31-hongT with respect to its closely related neighbours Hrr. saccharovorum JCM 8865T and Hrr. lacusprofundi JCM 8891T were 29.4 and 44.9 %, respectively, and DNA–DNA relatedness between strains 9-3T and 31-hongT was 54 %. Thus, two novel species of the genus Halorubrum are proposed, Halorubrum lipolyticum sp. nov. (type strain 9-3T=CGMCC 1.5332T=JCM 13559T) and Halorubrum aidingense sp. nov. (type strain 31-hongT=CGMCC 1.2670T=JCM 13560T).

Halophilic archaeal strains ABH32T and AX-7T were isolated from Aibi salt lake in Xin-Jiang, China, and were subjected to taxonomic studies. The cells of both strains were rod-shaped, and growth required at least 10 % (w/v) NaCl. The cellular polar lipids were identified as phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester and mannose-2,6-disulfate (1→2)-glucose glycerol diether (S2-DGD). The isolates were different in that strain ABH32T did not require magnesium and had strong ability to assimilate sugars for growth, whereas strain AX-7T required magnesium and did not assimilate glucose, sucrose or maltose for growth. Both strain ABH32T and strain AX-7T were most closely related to members of the genera Haloterrigena and Natrinema. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, especially their cellular polar lipids, the two isolates were assigned to the genus Haloterrigena. Moreover, the DNA relatedness values for strains ABH32T and AX-7T with respect to members of the genus Haloterrigena were found to be well below 70 %. Thus, strains ABH32T and AX-7T represent two novel species within the genus Haloterrigena, for which the names Haloterrigena longa sp. nov. (type strain ABH32T=CGMCC 1.5334T=JCM 13562T) and Haloterrigena limicola sp. nov. (type strain AX-7T=CGMCC 1.5333T=JCM 13563T) are proposed.

A novel actinomycete, designated strain 06182M-1T, was isolated from a mangrove soil sample collected from Chiayi County in Taiwan. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed levels of similarity of 97.0–98.8 % to the type strains of recognized species of the genus Isoptericola. Chemotaxonomic data also supported the placement of strain 06182M-1T within the genus Isoptericola. However, the low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between the novel strain and the type strains of recognized species of the genus Isoptericola, in combination with differential phenotypic data, demonstrate that strain 06182M-1T represents a novel species of the genus Isoptericola, for which the name Isoptericola chiayiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 06182M-1T ( = BCRC 16888T  = KCTC 19740T).

A Gram-variable, motile, endospore-forming, slightly halophilic bacterial strain, DSW-10T, was isolated from Dokdo, an island located at the edge of the East Sea, Korea, and was characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. This isolate grew optimally at 37 °C and in the presence of 4–5 % NaCl. Strain DSW-10T had cell-wall peptidoglycan based on meso-diaminopimelic acid, MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone, and anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0 as major fatty acids. Major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and unidentified phospholipids. The DNA G+C content was 36·7 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DSW-10T is phylogenetically affiliated to the genus Virgibacillus, and exhibited sequence similarity of 95·3–98·7 % to the type strains of Virgibacillus species. DNA–DNA relatedness levels between strain DSW-10T and the type strains of some phylogenetically related Virgibacillus species were in the range 8·4–17·5 %. On the basis of phenotypic properties and phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, strain DSW-10T (=KCTC 3933T=DSM 16826T) was classified as the type strain of a novel Virgibacillus species, for which the name Virgibacillus dokdonensis sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming actinobacterial strain, designated strain TL1T, was isolated from pig manure in Wuhan, China. The cell wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H4). The major fatty acids (>10 %) were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and C17 : 1ω8c. The genomic DNA G+C content was 70.9 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain TL1T was most closely related to the type strains of Knoellia sinensis (98.5 %), Knoellia subterranea (98.2 %) and Knoellia aerolata (96.9 %). DNA–DNA relatedness values of strain TL1T with the type strains of K. sinensis and K. subterranea were 27.3 and 34.0 %, respectively. Comparison of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics among strain TL1T and related organisms revealed that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Knoellia, for which the name Knoellia flava sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is TL1T ( = CGMCC 1.10749T = KCTC 19810T).

Two halophilic archaea, strains TBN53T and CSW2.24.4T, were characterized to elucidate their taxonomic status. Strain TBN53T was isolated from the Taibei marine solar saltern near Lianyungang city, Jiangsu province, China, whereas strain CSW2.24.4T was isolated from a saltern crystallizer in Victoria, Australia. Cells of the two strains were pleomorphic, stained Gram-negative and produced red-pigmented colonies. Strain TBN53T was able to grow at 25–55 °C (optimum 45 °C), with 1.4–5.1 M NaCl (optimum 2.6–3.9 M NaCl), with 0–1.0 M MgCl2 (optimum 0–0.1 M MgCl2) and at pH 5.5–9.5 (optimum pH 7.0), whereas strain CSW2.24.4T was able to grow at 25–45 °C (optimum 37 °C), with 2.6–5.1 M NaCl (optimum 3.4 M NaCl), with 0.01–0.7 M MgCl2 (optimum 0.05 M MgCl2) and at pH 5.5–9.5 (optimum pH 7.0–7.5). Cells of the two isolates lysed in distilled water. The minimum NaCl concentrations that prevented cell lysis were 8 % (w/v) for strain TBN53T and 12 % (w/v) for strain CSW2.24.4T. The major polar lipids of the two strains were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester and phosphatidylglycerol sulfate, with two glycolipids chromatographically identical to sulfated mannosyl glucosyl diether and mannosyl glucosyl diether, respectively. Trace amounts of other unidentified lipids were also detected. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strains TBN53T and CSW2.24.4T showed 94.1 % similarity to each other and were closely related to Halobellus clavatus TNN18T (95.0 and 94.7 % similarity, respectively). Levels of rpoB′ gene sequence similarity between strains TBN53T and CSW2.24.4T, and between these strains and Halobellus clavatus TNN18T were 88.5, 88.5 and 88.1 %, respectively. The DNA G+C contents of strains TBN53T and CSW2.24.4T were 69.2 and 67.0 mol%, respectively. The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain TBN53T and strain CSW2.24.4T was 25 %, and these two strains showed low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness with Halobellus clavatus TNN18T (30 and 29 % relatedness, respectively). Based on these phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic properties, two novel species of the genus Halobellus are proposed to accommodate these two strains, Halobellus limi sp. nov. (type strain TBN53T = CGMCC 1.10331T = JCM 16811T) and Halobellus salinus sp. nov. (type strain CSW2.24.4T = DSM 18730T = CGMCC 1.10710T = JCM 14359T).

Taxonomic Approach

A Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, yellow-pigmented bacterium, strain LQY-7T, was isolated from activated sludge treating synthetic pyrethroid-manufacturing wastewater. The taxonomic status of the strain was determined using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain LQY-7T was a member of the genus Flavobacterium but had low similarities with other species of this genus (95.0 % similarity with Flavobacterium indicum GPTSA100-9T and <94 % similarities with other Flavobacterium species). On the basis of phenotypic, genetic and phylogenetic data, strain LQY-7T should be classified as a representative of a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium, for which the name Flavobacterium haoranii sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is LQY-7T (=ACCC 05409T =KCTC 23008T).

Two strains of pink-coloured bacteria, 5516T-9T and 5516T-11T, were isolated from an air sample collected in Korea. The taxonomic status of these novel strains was investigated by means of a polyphasic approach. The novel strains were Gram-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming and coccus-shaped bacteria. The DNA G+C contents of strains 5516T-9T and 5516T-11T were 61.0 and 59.3 mol%, respectively. The major isoprenoid quinone for both strains was MK-8. Strain 5516T-9T contained summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c), C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1 ω9c, and strain 5516T-11T contained summed feature 3, iso-C17 : 1 ω9c, C17 : 1 ω8c and C15 : 1 ω6c as the major fatty acids (>10 %). The polar lipid patterns of both strains were similar, comprising one phospholipid and one aminophospholipid as the major components. Phylogenetic analyses using 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that both novel strains were affiliated to the genus Deinococcus. Strain 5516T-9T exhibited the highest sequence similarity with Deinococcus marmoris DSM 12784T (96.8 %) and strain 5516T-11T showed the highest sequence similarity with Deinococcus saxicola DSM 15974T (94.5 %). The sequence similarity between strains 5516T-9T and 5516T-11T was 94.7 %. On the basis of the data presented, it is evident that both strains represent separate novel species of the genus Deinococcus for which the names Deinococcus aerolatus sp. nov. (type strain 5516T-9T=KACC 12745T=JCM 15442T) and Deinococcus aerophilus sp. nov. (type strain 5516T-11T=KACC 12746T=JCM 15443T) are proposed.

Two anaerobic bacteria, designated strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107, were isolated from a hot spring in Tengchong County, Yunnan Province, south-west PR China. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 belong to the family Dysgonamonadaceae. Cells of strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 were Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile. The major fatty acids (>10 %) of strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 were identified as anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0 3OH. The polar lipid profile of strain SYSU GA16112T was found to consist of phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids, two unidentified phosphoglycolipids, two unidentified aminolipids and one unidentified polar lipid, while that of strain SYSU GA16107 consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified polar lipids, three unidentified aminophospholipids, two unidentified phosphoglycolipids and one unidentified aminolipid. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 were determined to be 41.90 and 41.89 %, respectively, and the average nucleotide identity value between them was 99.99 %. Based on their morphological and physiological properties, and results of phylogenetic analyses, strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 are considered to represent a novel species of a novel genus, for which the name Seramator thermalis gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain SYSU GA16112T=CGMCC 1.5281T=KCTC 15753T) is proposed.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-flagellated, non-gliding and rod-shaped bacterial strain, SSK2-2T, was isolated from the place where the ocean and a freshwater spring meet at Jeju island, South Korea. Strain SSK2-2T grew optimally at 30 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of 2.0–3.0 % (w/v) NaCl. The neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SSK2-2T fell within the clade comprising the type strains of species of the genus Maribacter, joining the type strain of Maribacter sedimenticola with which it shared 99.4 % similarity. Sequence similarities to the type strains of other Maribacter species were 94.6–98.2 %. Strain SSK2-2T contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) and summed feature 9 (iso-C17 : 1ω9c and/or 10-methyl C16 : 0) as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids of strain SSK2-2T were phosphatidylethanolamine and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content of strain SSK2-2T was 38.2 mol% and mean levels of DNA–DNA relatedness with the type strains of four phylogenetically related species of the genus Maribacter were 11–24 %. Differential phenotypic properties, together with phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain SSK2-2T is separate from other Maribacter species. On the basis of the data presented, strain SSK2-2T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Maribacter, for which the name Maribacter confluentis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SSK2-2T ( = KCTC 42604T = CECT 8869T).

A novel actinomycete, designated strain OU-40T, was isolated from farm soil collected from the Hyderabad region of Andhra Pradesh, southern India. The strain was found to have morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics typical of species of the genus Streptomyces. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain OU-40T belonged to the genus Streptomyces, and was related most closely to Streptomyces pactum NBRC 13433T (99.0 % sequence similarity), Streptomyces olivaceus NBRC 12805T (99.0 %) and Streptomyces parvulus NBRC 13193T (98.8 %). Strain OU-40T could be distinguished from the type strains of its closest phylogenetic relatives based on levels of DNA–DNA relatedness and comparison of morphological and phenotypic data. It is therefore concluded that strain OU-40T represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces hyderabadensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is OU-40T (=CCTCC AA 209024T =PCM 2692T).
