A motile, pleomorphic, red-pigmented archaeon, strain EJ-52T, was isolated from water from Lake Ejinor, a saline lake in Inner Mongolia, China. Analysis of the almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the isolate was phylogenetically related to species of the genus Halorubrum, being most closely related to Halorubrum saccharovorum ATCC 29252T (96.1 % sequence similarity), Halorubrum lacusprofundi JCM 8891T (95.9 %), Halorubrum tibetense AS 1.3239T (95.2 %), Halorubrum alcaliphilum AS 1.3528T (95.2 %) and Halorubrum vacuolatum JCM 9060T (95.1 %). The polar lipids of strain EJ-52T were C20C20 derivatives of phosphatidylglycerol phosphate and phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester and a sulfated diglycosyl diether. Strain EJ-52T requires at least 2.5 M NaCl for growth and grows optimally at 3.4 M NaCl. The strain grows at 25–50 °C, with optimal growth occurring at 35–45 °C. Mg2+ is not required. The DNA G+C content is 64.2 mol%. On the basis of the data obtained in this study, strain EJ52T represents a novel species, for which the name Halorubrum orientale sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is EJ-52T (=CECT 7145T=JCM 13889T=CGMCC 1.6295T).

A Gram-stain-positive, endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, designated XJ259T, was isolated from a cold spring sample from Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. The isolate grew optimally at 20–30 °C and pH 7.3–7.8. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that isolate XJ259T belonged phylogenetically to the genus Paenibacillus, and was most closely related to Paenibacillus xinjiangensis B538T (with 96.6 % sequence similarity), Paenibacillus glycanilyticus DS-1T (96.3 %) and Paenibacillus castaneae Ch-32T (96.1 %), sharing less than 96.0 % sequence similarity with all other members of the genus Paenibacillus. Chemotaxonomic analysis revealing menaquinone-7 (MK-7) as the major isoprenoid quinone, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and two unknown phosphoglycolipids as the major cellular polar lipids, a DNA G+C content of 47.0 mol%, and anteiso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 0 as the major fatty acids supported affiliation of the new isolate to the genus Paenibacillus. Based on these data, isolate XJ259T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus algorifonticola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XJ259T ( = CGMCC 1.10223T  = JCM 16598T).

Two Gram-stain-positive bacterial isolates, strain 2385/12T and strain 2673/12T were isolated from a tapir and a dog's nose, respectively. The two strains were rod to coccoid-shaped, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. The highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity identified Corynebacterium singulare CCUG 37330T (96.3 % similarity) as the nearest relative of strain 2385/12T and suggested the isolate represented a novel species. Corynebacterium humireducens DSM 45392T (98.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) was identified as the nearest relative of strain 2673/12T. Results from DNA–DNA hybridization with the type strain of C. humireducens demonstrated that strain 2673/12T also represented a novel species. Strain 2385/12T showed a quinone system consisting predominantly of menaquinones MK-8(H2) and MK-9(H2) whereas strain 2673/12T contained only MK-8(H2) as predominant quinone. The polar lipid profiles of the two strains showed the major compounds phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified glycolipid. Phosphatidylinositol was identified as another major lipid in 2673/12T whereas it was only found in moderate amounts in strain 2385/12T. Furthermore, moderate to minor amounts of phosphatidylinositol-mannoside, β-gentiobiosyl diacylglycerol and variable counts of several unidentified lipids were detected in the two strains. Both strains contained corynemycolic acids. The polyamine patterns were characterized by the major compound putrescine in strain 2385/12T and spermidine in strain 2673/12T. In the fatty acid profiles, predominantly C18 : 1ω9c and C16 : 0 were detected. The two strains are distinguishable from each other and the nearest related established species of the genus Corynebacterium phylogenetically and phenotypically. In conclusion, two novel species of the genus Corynebacterium are proposed, namely Corynebacterium tapiri sp. nov. (type strain, 2385/12T = CCUG 65456T = LMG 28165T) and Corynebacterium nasicanis sp. nov. (type strain, 2673/12T = CCUG 65455T = LMG 28166T).

A Gram-negative, non-motile, aerobic bacterial strain, designated MJ20T, was isolated from farm soil near Daejeon (South Korea) and was characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain MJ20T belongs to the family Cytophagaceae, class Sphingobacteria, and was related most closely to Dyadobacter fermentans DSM 18053T (98.9 % sequence similarity), Dyadobacter beijingensis JCM 14200T (98.0 %) and Dyadobacter ginsengisoli KCTC 12589T (96.4 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain MJ20T was 48.5 mol%. The detection of MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and a fatty acid profile with summed feature 4 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH), iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 and C16 : 1 ω5c as major components supported the affiliation of strain MJ20T to the genus Dyadobacter. The new isolate exhibited relatively low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness with respect to D. fermentans DSM 18053T (mean±sd of three determinations, 47±7 %) and D. beijingensis JCM 14200T (38±8 %). On the basis of its phenotypic and genotypic properties together with phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain MJ20T (=KCTC 22481T =JCM 16232T) should be classified in the genus Dyadobacter as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Dyadobacter soli sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, pleomorphic rod-shaped, orange–red-pigmented, facultatively aerobic and haloalkaliphilic archaeon, strain MK13-1T, was isolated from commercial rock salt imported from Pakistan. The NaCl, pH and temperature ranges for growth of strain MK13-1T were 3.0–5.2 M NaCl, pH 8.0–11.0 and 15–50 °C, respectively. Optimal growth occurred at 3.2–3.4 M NaCl, pH 9.0–9.5 and 45 °C. Addition of Mg2+ was not required for growth. The major polar lipids of the isolate were C20C20 and C20C25 archaeol derivatives of phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester. Glycolipids were not detected. The DNA G+C content was 64.1 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain MK13-1T was most closely related to those of the species of the genus Halorubrum, Halorubrum luteum CECT 7303T (95.9 % similarity), Halorubrum alkaliphilum JCM 12358T (95.3 %), Halorubrum kocurii JCM 14978T (95.3 %) and Halorubrum lipolyticum JCM 13559T (95.3 %). The rpoB′ gene sequence of strain MK13-1T had < 90 % sequence similarity to those of other members of the genus Halorubrum. Based on the phylogenetic analysis and phenotypic characterization, strain MK13-1T may represent a novel species of the genus Halorubrum, for which the name Halorubrum gandharaense sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain MK13-1T ( = JCM 17823T = CECT 7963T).

Five strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from a compost of distilled shochu residue in Japan. The isolates were separated into two groups on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, and two subclusters were formed that comprised micro-organisms closely related to Lactobacillus buchneri, L. diolivorans, L. hilgardii, L. kefiri, L. parabuchneri and L. parakefiri. DNA–DNA relatedness results revealed that the isolates could be separated into two groups, and these groups correlated well with the subclusters generated using the phylogenetic analysis. Moreover, the levels of DNA–DNA relatedness showed clear separation of the two groups from their phylogenetic relatives. Therefore, the two groups represent two novel species, for which the names Lactobacillus farraginis sp. nov. (type strain NRIC 0676T=JCM 14108T=DSM 18382T) and Lactobacillus parafarraginis sp. nov. (type strain NRIC 0677T=JCM 14109T=DSM 18390T) are proposed.

Sequence Comparisons

A polyphasic study was carried out to clarify the taxonomic position of two Gram-positive bacteria isolated from soil samples of the Grotta dei Cervi (Italy), a relatively unexplored hypogean environment. The strains, 20-5T and 23-23T, showed phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics that were consistent with their classification in the genus Agromyces. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons revealed that the two strains formed distinct phyletic lines within the genus Agromyces. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, chemotaxonomic data and the results of DNA–DNA relatedness studies, it is proposed that the two isolates represent two novel species of the genus Agromyces. Pronounced differences in a broad range of phenotypic characteristics and DNA G+C content distinguished the two strains from each other and from previously described species of the genus Agromyces. Two novel species are proposed: Agromyces salentinus sp. nov. (type strain, 20-5T=HKI 0320T=DSM 16198T=NCIMB 13990T) and Agromyces neolithicus sp. nov. (type strain, 23-23T=HKI 0321T=DSM 16197T=NCIMB 13989T).
