Two bacterial strains, BBH6T and BBH9, were isolated from a deep-sea sediment sample collected from the Chagos Trench, Indian Ocean, at a depth of 5904 m. The two strains were closely related in their 16S rRNA gene sequences (99.7 %), belonged to one genomic species and were virtually identical at the phenotypic level. Microbacterium barkeri DSM 20145T was the nearest phylogenetic neighbour to the new isolates, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity levels of 97.2–97.4 %. The new isolates exhibited levels of DNA–DNA relatedness of 32–34 % to M. barkeri and differed from it in a number of phenotypic characteristics. Therefore, it is suggested that strains BBH6T and BBH9 represent a novel species of the genus Microbacterium, for which the name Microbacterium indicum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BBH6T (=LMG 23459T=IAM 15355T).

A Gram-staining negative, aerobic, oval-shaped bacterium, designated strain PTG4-2T, was isolated from deep-sea sediment of the Indian Ocean. Growth was observed with 1–9 % (w/v) NaCl with optimal growth with 3 %, at pH 6.0–10.0 with an optimum of pH 7.0, and at 4–40 °C with an optimum of 30 °C. Positive for catalase and oxidase. The results of a 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison indicated that PTG4-2T was most closely related to Acuticoccus yangtzensis JL1095T (97.3 %), followed by Acuticoccus kandeliae J103T (96.5 %), all other species shared <93 % sequence similarity. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that PTG4-2T forms a distinct lineage within the genus Acuticoccus , and revealed that the genus Acuticoccus forms a novel family-level clade in the order Rhizobiales . The ANI and the DNA–DNA hybridization estimate values between PTG4-2T and two type strains (A. yangtzensis JL1095T and A. kandeliae J103T) were 79.9–76.2 % and 23.1–20.8 %, respectively. PTG4-2T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone. The principal fatty acids (>5 %) were summed feature 8 [C18 : 1 ω7c/ω6c (72.2 %)], C18 : 0 (8.4 %), C20 : 1 ω7c (6.4 %) and C16 : 0 (6.3 %). The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified phospholipids, two unidentified glycolipids, one unidentified aminolipid and one unknown lipid. The DNA G+C content of PTG4-2T is 69.2 mol%. On the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic evidence presented in this study, PTG4-2T should be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Acuticoccus , for which the name Acuticoccus sediminis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain PTG4-2T (=MCCC 1A01274T=KCTC 52323T). In addition, a novel family, Acuticoccaceae fam. nov., is proposed to accommodate the genus Acuticoccus .

A taxonomic study employing a polyphasic approach was carried out on strain FT102T, which was isolated from a deep-sea sediment sample collected in the south-west Indian Ocean at a depth of 2784 m. The strain was Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped and non-spore-forming. It grew optimally at 37–42 °C, pH 6.5–8.5 and in the presence of 1–4 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences confirmed the separation of the novel strain from recognized members of the genus Kangiella that are available in public databases. Strain FT102T exhibited 95.5–98.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the type strains of the eight recognized species of the genus Kangiella. The chemotaxonomically characteristic fatty acid iso-C15:0 and ubiquinone Q-8 were also detected. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine. The DNA G+C content of strain FT102T was 45.0 mol%. The mean DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain FT102T and the type strains of Kangiella aquimarina and Kangiella koreensis were 47.3 % and 13.7 %, respectively. The combined results of phylogenetic, physiological and chemotaxonomic studies indicated that strain FT102T was affiliated with the genus Kangiella but differed from the recognized species of the genus Kangiella. Therefore, strain FT102T represents a novel species of the genus Kangiella, for which the name Kangiella profundi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FT102T ( = CGMCC 1.12959T = KCTC 42297T = JCM 30232T)

A Gram-stain-negative, motile, aerobic bacterial strain, designated 22DY15T, was isolated from a deep-sea sediment sample collected from a hydrothermal vent field located in the East Pacific Rise. The isolate was a short rod with a single flagellum and was positive for catalase and oxidase activities. Q-10 was the predominant respiratory quinone. The major polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphoglycolipid, one aminolipid and three unidentified phospholipids. The principal fatty acid (>70 %) was C18 : 1ω7c. The genomic DNA G+C content was 64.3 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain 22DY15T represents a distinct lineage within the family Rhodobacteraceae. The closest relatives were species of the genera Aliiroseovarius (93.3–96.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Sulfitobacter (94.0–96.0 %) and Loktanella (92.0–95.9 %). Differential phenotypic properties, together with phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain 22DY15T could be differentiated from its most closely related genera. Therefore, it is proposed that strain 22DY15T represents a novel species in a new genus of the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Brevirhabdus pacifica gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is 22DY15T ( = JCM 19489T = DSM 27767T = CGMCC 1.12416T = MCCC 1K00276T).

Protaetia Brevitarsis Seulensis

Taxonomic positions of four Gram-negative bacterial strains, which were isolated from larvae of two insects in Jeju, Republic of Korea, were determined by a polyphasic approach. Strains CWB-B4, CWB-B41 and CWB-B43 were recovered from larvae of Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis, whereas strain BWR-B9T was from larvae of Allomyrina dichotoma. All the isolates grew at 10–37 °C, at pH 5.0–9.0 and in the presence of 4 % (w/v) NaCl. The 16S rRNA gene phylogeny showed that the four isolates formed two distinct sublines within the order Enterobacteriales and closely associated with members of the genus Jinshanibacter . The first group represented by strain CWB-B4 formed a tight cluster with Jinshanibacter xujianqingii CF-1111T (99.3 % sequence similarity), whereas strain BWR-B9T was most closely related to Jinshanibacter zhutongyuii CF-458T (99.5 % sequence similarity). The 92 core gene analysis showed that the isolates belonged to the family Budviciaceae and supported the clustering shown in 16S rRNA gene phylogeny. The genomic DNA G+C content of the isolates was 45.2 mol%. A combination of overall genomic relatedness and phenotypic distinctness supported that three isolates from Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis are different strains of Jinshanibacter xujianqingii , whereas one isolate from Allomyrina dichotoma represents a new species of the genus Jinshanibacter . On the basis of results obtained here, Jinshanibacter allomyrinae sp. nov. (type strain BWR-B9T=KACC 22153T=NBRC 114879T) and Insectihabitans xujianqingii gen. nov., comb. nov. are proposed, with the emended descriptions of the genera Jinshanibacter , Limnobaculum and Pragia .

A novel brown-coloured, Gram-negative-staining, rod-shaped, motile, phototrophic, purple sulfur bacterium, designated strain AK40T, was isolated in pure culture from a sediment sample collected from Coringa mangrove forest, India. Strain AK40T contained bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the rhodopin series as major photosynthetic pigments. Strain AK40T was able to grow photoheterotrophically and could utilize a number of organic substrates. It was unable to grow photoautotrophically and did not utilize sulfide or thiosulfate as electron donors. Thiamine and riboflavin were required for growth. The dominant fatty acids were C12 : 0, C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω7c and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH). The polar lipid profile of strain AK40T was found to contain diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and eight unidentified lipids. Q-10 was the predominant respiratory quinone. The DNA G+C content of strain AK40T was 65.5 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons indicated that the isolate represented a member of the family Chromatiaceae within the class Gammaproteobacteria. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain AK40T was closely related to Phaeochromatium fluminis, with 95.2 % pairwise sequence similarity to the type strain; sequence similarity to strains of other species of the family was 90.8–94.8 %. Based on the sequence comparison data, strain AK40T was positioned distinctly outside the group formed by the genera Phaeochromatium, Marichromatium, Halochromatium, Thiohalocapsa, Rhabdochromatium and Thiorhodovibrio. Distinct morphological, physiological and genotypic differences from previously described taxa supported the classification of this isolate as a representative of a novel species in a new genus, for which the name Phaeobacterium nitratireducens gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Phaeobacterium nitratireducens is AK40T ( = JCM 19219T = MTCC 11824T).

Two Gram-negative, non-motile, pleomorphic bacterial strains, DS-40T and DS-45T, were isolated from a soil sample collected from Dokdo, Korea, and their exact taxonomic positions were investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Strains DS-40T and DS-45T grew optimally at 25 °C and pH 6.5–7.5 in the presence of 0–1.0 % (w/v) NaCl. They contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and possessed iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH) as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C contents of strains DS-40T and DS-45T were 36.0 and 36.8 mol%, respectively. Strains DS-40T and DS-45T shared a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 96.7 % and demonstrated a mean DNA–DNA relatedness level of 12 %. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strains DS-40T and DS-45T were most closely phylogenetically affiliated with the genus Pedobacter of the family Sphingobacteriaceae. Strains DS-40T and DS-45T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 91.4–93.7 and 89.9–91.6 % with respect to the type strains of Pedobacter and Sphingobacterium species, respectively. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties, together with the phylogenetic data, support the assignment of strains DS-40T and DS-45T as two distinct species within the genus Pedobacter. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strains DS-40T and DS-45T represent two novel species of the genus Pedobacter, for which the names Pedobacter lentus sp. nov. and Pedobacter terricola sp. nov. are proposed, respectively. The respective type strains are DS-40T (=KCTC 12875T=JCM 14593T) and DS-45T (=KCTC 12876T=JCM 14594T).

Two bacterial strains (JC247T and JC248) were isolated from soil samples collected from Rann of Kutch, Gujarat, India. Colonies of both strains were creamy white. Cells were Gram-stain-positive, rods-to-curved rods (crescent-shaped), and produced centrally located oval-shaped endospores. Major (>5 %) fatty acids of both strains were iso-C16  :  0, iso-C14  :  0, iso-C15  :  0, C16  :  1ω11c and C16  :  0, with minor ( < 5 but >1 %) amounts of anteiso-C15  :  0, anteiso-C17  :  0, iso-C16  :  1 H, iso-C17  :  0, iso-C18  :  0, C14  :  0, C17  :  0, C18  :  0, C18  :  1ω9c, iso-C17  :  1ω10c and anteiso-C17  :  0B/isoI. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol were the major polar lipids of both strains. Cell-wall amino acids were l-alanine, d-alanine, d-glutamic acid and meso-diaminopimelic acid. The genomic DNA G+C content of strains JC247T and JC248 was 48.2 and 48.1 mol%, respectively. Both strains were closely related with mean DNA–DNA hybridization >90 %. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of both strains indicated that they are members of the genus Bacillus within the family Bacillaceae of the phylum Firmicutes. Both strains had a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 96.93 % with Bacillus firmus NCIMB 9366T and < 96.92 % with other members of the genus Bacillus. Sequence similarity between strain JC247T and JC248 was 100 %. Distinct morphological, physiological and genotypic differences from previously described taxa support the classification of strains JC247T and JC248 as representatives of a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus crescens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JC247T ( = KCTC 33627T = LMG 28608T).
