Two bacterial strains, designated GH34-4T and GH41-7T, were isolated from greenhouse soil cultivated with cucumber. The bacteria were strictly aerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped and oxidase- and catalase-positive. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that these strains belong to the genus Lysobacter within the Gammaproteobacteria. Strain GH34-4T showed highest sequence similarity to Lysobacter yangpyeongensis GH19-3T (97.5 %) and Lysobacter koreensis Dae16T (96.4 %), and strain GH41-7T showed highest sequence similarity to Lysobacter antibioticus DSM 2044T (97.5 %), Lysobacter enzymogenes DSM 2043T (97.5 %) and Lysobacter gummosus ATCC 29489T (97.4 %). Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness indicated that strains GH34-4T and GH41-7T represented species clearly different from L. yangpyeongensis, L. antibioticus, L. enzymogenes and L. gummosus. The major cellular fatty acids of strains GH34-4T and GH41-7T were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1 ω9c, and the major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. The DNA G+C contents of GH34-4T and GH41-7T were 62.5 and 66.6 mol%, respectively. On the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic data presented, it is evident that each of these strains represents a novel species of the genus Lysobacter, for which the names Lysobacter niabensis sp. nov. (type strain GH34-4T=KACC 11587T=DSM 18244T) and Lysobacter niastensis sp. nov. (type strain GH41-7T=KACC 11588T=DSM 18481T) are proposed.

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).

Two bacterial strains were isolated from greenhouse soils of Daejeon and Yangpyeong regions in Korea. The strains, designated GH1-9T and GH19-3T, were Gram-negative and aerobic, with rod-shaped cells. Their DNA G+C contents were 61.7 and 67.3 mol%, respectively. The major fatty acids of strain GH1-9T were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C14 : 0, iso-C17 : 1 ω9c and iso-C11 : 0 3-OH and the major components of strain GH19-3T were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 1 ω7c alcohol, iso-C17 : 1 ω9c and iso-C11 : 0 3-OH. None of the species of the genus Lysobacter with validly published names showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of more than 97 % with respect to the novel isolates. The closest sequence similarity of strain GH1-9T was with Lysobacter concretionis DSM 16239T (96.4 %), whereas strain GH19-3T showed the highest sequence similarity with Lysobacter enzymogenes DSM 2043T (96.6 %). Polyphasic taxonomic studies indicated that the two strains should be classified as representing novel members of the genus Lysobacter. The names Lysobacter daejeonensis sp. nov. and Lysobacter yangpyeongensis sp. nov. are proposed, with strains GH1-9T (=KACC 11406T=DSM 17634T) and GH19-3T (=KACC 11407T=DSM 17635T), respectively, as the type strains.

Two xylan-degrading bacterial strains were isolated from a decayed Ulmus nigra tree in Spain. The isolates were Gram-positive, non-motile, aerobic and formed substrate mycelium which fragmented into irregular rods. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the isolates form a separate branch within the genus Agromyces phylogenetic cluster, with Agromyces mediolanus DSM 20152T being their closest relative (97·7 and 97·6 % sequence similarity). Catalase, nitrate reduction and urease tests differentiated these strains from A. mediolanus. Cell-wall peptidoglycan composition, major menaquinone, predominant fatty acids and phospholipid pattern were typical of the genus Agromyces. The DNA G+C content determined for the type strain XIL01T was 72 mol%. Based on the data presented, a novel species Agromyces ulmi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XIL01T (=LMG 21954T=DSM 15747T).

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-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, designated TR6-04T, was isolated from compost and characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. The organism grew optimally at 30 °C and at pH 6.5–7.0. The isolate was positive for catalase and oxidase tests but negative for gelatinase, indole and H2S production. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain TR6-04T fell within the radiation of the cluster comprising Sphingobacterium species and clustered with Sphingobacterium mizutaii ATCC 33299T (96.7 % sequence similarity); the similarity to sequences of other species within the family Sphingobacteriaceae was less than 92.0 %. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 38.7 mol%. The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-7. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 4 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c). These chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of strain TR6-04T to the genus Sphingobacterium. However, on the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain TR6-04T (=KCTC 12579T=LMG 23402T=CCUG 52468T) should be classified as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Sphingobacterium daejeonense sp. nov. is proposed.

Three novel bacterial strains were isolated from a soil sample collected in Japan by culture on a GPM agar plate supplemented with superoxide dismutase and catalase. The strains were Gram-positive, catalase-positive, non-motile bacteria with l-ornithine as a diagnostic diamino acid of the peptidoglycan. The acyl type of the peptidoglycan was N-glycolyl. The major menaquinones were MK-12, 13 and 14. Mycolic acids were not detected. G+C contents of the DNA were in the range 69–71 mol%. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the isolates belonged to the genus Microbacterium and were closely related to Microbacterium terregens, Microbacterium aurum, Microbacterium koreense, Microbacterium schleiferi and Microbacterium lacticum. However, M. aurum, M. koreense and M. lacticum clearly differed from the isolated strains based on the presence of l-lysine as the cell-wall diamino acid and various other chemotaxonomic characteristics. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness showed that the isolated strains represented three separate genomic species. Based on both phenotypic and genotypic data, the following novel species of the genus Microbacterium are proposed: Microbacterium deminutum sp. nov. (type strain KV-483T=NRRL B-24453T=NBRC 101278T), Microbacterium pumilum sp. nov. (type strain KV-488T=NRRL B-24452T=NBRC 101279T) and Microbacterium aoyamense sp. nov. (type strain KV-492T=NRRL B-24451T=NBRC 101280T).

Two sporulating bacterial strains designated CECAP06T and CECAP16 were isolated from the rhizosphere of the legume Cicer arietinum in Argentina. Almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequences identified the isolates as a Paenibacillus species. It was most closely related to Paenibacillus cineris LMG 18439T (99·6 % sequence similarity), Paenibacillus favisporus LMG 20987T (99·4 % sequence similarity) and Paenibacillus azoreducens DSM 13822T (97·7 % sequence similarity). The cells of this novel species were motile, sporulating, rod-shaped, Gram-positive and strictly aerobic. The predominant fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The DNA G+C content of strains CECAP06T and CECAP16 was 51·3 and 50·9 mol%, respectively. Growth was observed from many carbohydrates, but gas production was not observed from glucose. Catalase and oxidase activities were present. The isolates produced β-galactosidase and hydrolysed aesculin. Gelatinase, caseinase and urease were not produced. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization showed that the strains from this study constitute a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus rhizosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CECAP06T (=LMG 21955T=CECT 5831T).

A Gram-positive, non-motile, endospore-forming bacterium, designated Gsoil 1517T, was isolated from soil of a ginseng field in Pocheon Province (South Korea) and was characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position, using a polyphasic approach. It was found to rod-shaped and aerobic or facultatively anaerobic. It grew optimally at 30 °C and at pH 6.5–7.0. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain Gsoil 1517T forms a distinct phylogenetic lineage within the genus Bacillus, being related to Bacillus funiculus JCM 11201T (96.8 %). The strain showed less than 94.3 % sequence similarity with other Bacillus species. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was found to be 47.8 mol% and the predominant respiratory quinone was MK-7. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (42.4 %), anteiso-C15 : 0 (17.4 %), iso-C14 : 0 (9.7 %) and C16 : 0 (6.0 %). On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain Gsoil 1517T represents a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus panaciterrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Gsoil 1517T (=KCTC 13929T=CCUG 52470T=LMG 23408T).

A bacterial strain, designated KMM 6049T, was isolated from the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius inhabiting the Sea of Japan. The bacterium studied was strictly aerobic, heterotrophic, yellow-pigmented, non-motile, Gram-negative and oxidase-, catalase-, β-galactosidase- and alkaline phosphatase-positive. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain KMM 3524T was closely related to Salegentibacter holothuriorum and Salegentibacter salegens (sharing 97·7 and 98 % sequence similarity, respectively). DNA–DNA relatedness levels between strains KMM 6049T and S. holothuriorum KMM 3524T and S. salegens DSM 5424T were 24 and 45 %, respectively, indicating that KMM 6049T belongs to a novel species of the genus Salegentibacter, for which the name Salegentibacter mishustinae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KMM 6049T (=KCTC 12263T=LMG 22584T=NBRC 100592T).

Three bacterial strains, designated MT1T, RW10T and IpA-2T, had been isolated previously for their ability to degrade chlorosalicylates or isopimaric acid. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that these bacteria are related to species of the genus Pseudomonas. Analysis of the results of DNA–DNA hybridization with several close phylogenetic neighbours revealed a low level of hybridization (less than 57 %). On the basis of phenotypic characteristics, phylogenetic analysis, DNA–DNA relatedness data and chemotaxonomic analysis, it is concluded that these isolates represent separate novel species, for which the names Pseudomonas reinekei sp. nov. (type strain MT1T =DSM 18361T=CCUG 53116T), Pseudomonas moorei sp. nov. (type strain RW10T =DSM 12647T=CCUG 53114T) and Pseudomonas mohnii sp. nov. (type strain IpA-2T =DSM 18327T=CCUG 53115T) are proposed.
