A Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium, designated strain HO3-R19T, which was isolated from seashore sand in Pohang city, Korea, was characterized on the basis of a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain HO3-R19T represents a new lineage within the Gammaproteobacteria; sequence similarities between strain HO3-R19T and members of other related genera were less than 93.5 %. Strain HO3-R19T was also distinguished from related genera based on differences in several phenotypic characteristics. Cells were straight or slightly curved rods and formed white colonies on R2A agar. The major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone 8 (Q-8), and predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1 ω9c. The DNA G+C content of strain HO3-R19T was 65.0 mol%. Based on physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic traits together with results of comparative 16S rRNA sequence analysis, strain HO3-R19T is considered to represent a novel species in a new genus, for which the name Arenimonas donghaensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Arenimonas donghaensis is HO3-R19T (=KACC 11381T=DSM 18148T).

A halophilic, aerobic bacterium, designated PO-M2T, was isolated from seashore sand, from Pohang, Korea and characterized on the basis of physiological and biochemical features. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed a clear affiliation of the novel strain with members of the genus Idiomarina. Sequence similarities between strain PO-M2T and the type strains of species belonging to the genus Idiomarina ranged from 94.3 to 95.5 %. Cells of strain PO-M2T were straight or slightly curved rods and formed light-yellow colonies on marine agar medium. The major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone (Q-8) and the predominant cellular fatty acids were C15 : 0 iso (19.3 %), C17 : 1 ω9c iso (11.9 %), C17 : 0 iso (10.9 %), C18 : 1 ω7c (10.4 %), C16 : 0 (9.0 %) and C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C15 : 0 iso 2-OH (7.2 %). The G+C content of the DNA was 45.1 mol%. Based on physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic traits and comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, it is demonstrated that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Idiomarina, for which the name Idiomarina homiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PO-M2T (=KACC 11514T=DSM 17923T).

ABSTRACT Bacterial blotch of Agaricus bisporus has typically been identified as being caused by either Pseudomonas tolaasii (brown blotch) or Pseudomonas gingeri(ginger blotch). To address the relatedness of pseudomonads able to induce blotch, a pilot study was initiated in which pseudomonads were selectively isolated from mushroom farms throughout New Zealand. Thirty-three pseudomonad isolates were identified as being capable of causing different degrees of discoloration (separable into nine categories) of A. bisporus tissue in a bioassay. These isolates were also identified as unique using repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR and biochemical analysis. Relationships between these 33 blotch-causing organisms (BCO) and a further 22 selected pseudomonad species were inferred by phylogenetic analyses of near-full-length 16S rRNA gene nucleotide sequences. The 33 BCO isolates were observed to be distributed throughout thePseudomonas fluorescens intrageneric cluster. These results show that in addition to known BCO (P. tolaasii, P. gingeri, and Pseudomonas reactans), a number of diverse pseudomonad species also have the ability to cause blotch diseases with various discolorations. Furthermore, observation of ginger blotch discoloration of A. bisporus being independently caused by many different pseudomonad species impacts on the homogeneity and classification of the previously described P. gingeri.

A Gram-reaction-negative, non-motile, facultatively aerobic bacterium, designated strain M1T, was isolated from a subterrestrial sediment sample of Qiangtang Basin in Qinghai-Tibetan plateau, China. The strain formed rough yellow colonies on R2A plates. Cells were oval or short rod-shaped, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate belonged to the family Erythrobacteraceae and showed 96.2–96.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to its closest relatives. Chemotaxonomic analysis revealed ubiquinone-10 (Q10) as the dominant respiratory quinone of strain M1T and C17 : 1ω6c (44.2 %) and C18 : 1ω7c (13.7 %) as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, sphingoglycolipid, three unidentified glycolipids, one unidentified phosphoglycolipid and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content of strain M1T was 73.7 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic data presented in this study, strain M1T represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Erythrobacteraceae, for which the name Qipengyuania sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is M1T ( = CGMCC 1.12928T = JCM 30182T).

Abstract A gram-negative, orange-pigmented, non-flagellated, gliding, rod-shaped, and aerobic bacterium, designated strain F202Z8T, was isolated from a rusty iron plate found in the intertidal region of Taean, South Korea. Notably, this strain synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and 17 putative genes responsible for the synthesis of AgNPs were found in its genome. The complete genome sequence of strain F202Z8T is 4,723,614 bp, with 43.26% G + C content. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain F202Z8T forms a distinct lineage with closely related genera Maribacter, Pelagihabitans, Pseudozobellia, Zobellia, Pricia, and Costertonia belonging to the family Flavobacteriaceae. The 16S rRNA sequence similarity was < 94.5%. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values calculated from the whole genome-sequence comparison between strain F202Z8T and other members of the family Flavobacteriaceae were in the ranges of 12.7–16.9% and 70.3–74.4%, respectively. Growth was observed at 15–33°C (optimally at 30°C), at pH 6.5–7.5 (optimally at pH 7.0), and with the addition of 2.5–4.5% (w/v) NaCl to the media (optimally at 4.0%). The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15: 0, iso-C15 :1 G, and iso-C17 :0 3-OH; the major respiratory quinone was MK-6. Polar lipids included phosphatidylethanolamine, five unidentified lipids, and two unidentified aminolipids. Our polyphasic taxonomic results suggested that this strain represents a novel species of a novel genus in the family Flavobacteriaceae, for which the name Aggregatimonas sangjinii gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Aggregatimonas sangjinii is F202Z8T (= KCCM 43411T = LMG 31494T).

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, and aerobic bacterium, strain 16-35-5T, was isolated from Collins Glacier front soil from the Fildes Peninsula, Antarctica. The bacterium grew optimally at 28 °C, pH 7.0 and in the presence of 0–4.0 % (w/v) NaCl. On the basis of the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogenetic analyses, it was concluded that 16-35-5T represented a member of the genus Acidovorax and had the highest sequence similarities with Acidovorax anthurii CFBP 3232T (96.48 %). The genome of 16-35-5T is 4.2 Mb long with a DNA G+C content of 66.3 mol%. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) value between the genomes of 16-35-5T and Acidovorax wautersii DSM 27981T, was 85.29 %. Strain 16-35-5T had ubiquinone-8 (Q-8) as the respiratory ubiquinone. The polar lipids of 16-35-5T were consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol. The main fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c, 25.2 %), summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c, 12.9 %), C16 : 0 (35.2 %), and C17 : 0 cyclo (19.0 %). On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, 16-35-5T should be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Acidovorax , for which the name Acidovorax antarcticus sp. nov., is proposed, with the type strain 16-35-5T (=CCTCC AB 2019325T=KCTC 72915T).

A novel, strictly anaerobic, hydrogenotrophic methanogen, strain E09F.3T, was isolated from a commercial biogas plant in Germany. Cells of E09F.3T were Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, slightly curved rods, long chains of which formed large aggregates consisting of intertwined bundles of chains. Cells utilized H2+CO2 and, to a lesser extent, formate as substrates for growth and methanogenesis. The optimal growth temperature was around 40 °C; maximum growth rate was obtained at pH around 7.0 with approximately 6.8 mM NaCl. The DNA G+C content of strain E09F.3T was 39.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA and mcrA gene sequences placed strain E09F.3T within the genus Methanobacterium. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain E09F.3T was closely related to Methanobacterium congolense CT but morphological, physiological and genomic characteristics indicated that strain E09F.3T represents a novel species. The name Methanobacterium aggregans sp. nov. is proposed for this novel species, with strain E09F.3T ( = DSM 29428T = JCM 30569T) as the type strain.

Part of the 16S rRNA gene was amplified directly from uncultured endophyte populations within the root nodules of Datisca cannabina and three strains isolated from nodules of Alnus glutinosa (AgKG′84/4), Coriaria nepalensis (Cn3), and D. cannabina (Dc2). Sequence comparison based on 930 nucleotides indicated that the endophyte of D. cannabina nodules belongs to the genus Frankia and is highly related to the endophyte of C. nepalensis root nodules. The relatedness of the endophytes of C. nepalensis and D. cannabina nodules was also reflected by closely related nifH sequences amplified from the nodules. 16S rRNA sequence analysis of the noninfective strains obtained from both D. cannabina (Dc2) and C. nepalensis (Cn3) nodules also revealed the close relationship of these strains to the genus Frankia.Key words: nitrogen fixation, Frankia, 16S rRNA, nifH.

A Gram-staining-negative, strictly aerobic bacterium, designated strain G3T, was isolated from a tidal flat of the Taean coast in South Korea. Cells were moderately halotolerant and non-motile rods showing catalase- and oxidase-positive reactions. Growth of strain G3T was observed between 15 and 40 °C (optimum 30 °C) and between pH 5.5 and 9.0 (optimum pH 6.5–7.5). Strain G3T contained Q-8 as the predominant lipoquinone and iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 1ω9c, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C11 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 69.6 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain G3T formed a tight phylogenetic lineage with Luteimonas mephitis B1953/27.1T within the genus Luteimonas and was most closely related to L. mephitis B1953/27.1T with 98.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. The DNA–DNA relatedness between strain G3T and L. mephitis B1953/27.1T was 35.2±3.3 %. On the basis of chemotaxonomic data and molecular properties, strain G3T represents a novel species of the genus Luteimonas, for which the name Luteimonas lutimaris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is G3T ( = KACC 14929T = JCM 16916T).

Previously, five rhizobial strains isolated from root nodules of Robinia pseudoacacia were assigned to the same genospecies on the basis of identical 16S rRNA gene sequences and phylogenetic analyses of the nodA, nodC and nifH genes, in which the five isolates formed a well-supported group that excluded other sequences found in public databases. In this study, the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between the isolates and Mesorhizobium mediterraneum UPM-Ca36T and Mesorhizobium temperatum SDW018T were 99.5 and 99.6 %, respectively. The five isolates were also different from defined Mesorhizobium species using ERIC fingerprint profiles and they formed a novel Mesorhizobium lineage in phylogenetic analyses of recA and atpD gene sequences. DNA–DNA relatedness values between the representative strain, CCNWYC 115T, and type strains of defined Mesorhizobium species were found to be lower than 47.5 %. These results indicated that the isolates represented a novel genomic species. Therefore, a novel species, Mesorhizobium robiniae sp. nov., is proposed, with type strain CCNWYC 115T (=ACCC 14543T =HAMBI 3082T). Strain CCNWYC 115T can form effective nodules only on its original host.
