Two moderately halophilic Gram-negative bacteria were isolated from a sample taken from the brine–seawater interface of the Shaban Deep in the Red Sea. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that these organisms represent a novel species of the genus Marinobacter. Cells of the new isolates formed non-pigmented colonies and were motile by means of a single polar flagellum. Strains SD-14BT and SD-14C grew optimally at 35–37 °C, in 5 % NaCl and at pH 7.5–8.0. The organisms were aerobic, but reduced nitrate to nitrogen under anaerobic conditions. Acid was produced from only a few carbohydrates. Ubiquinone 9 was the major respiratory quinone. The major fatty acids of strains SD-14BT and SD-14C were C16 : 0, C18 : 1 ω9c, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω6c/C16 : 1 ω7c) and C12 : 0 3-OH. The DNA G+C contents were 55.9 and 55.7 mol%, respectively. On the basis of the phylogenetic analyses and physiological and biochemical characteristics, it is proposed that strains SD-14BT and SD-14C represent a novel species of the genus Marinobacter, with the name Marinobacter salsuginis sp. nov. The type strain is strain SD-14BT (=DSM 18347T=LMG 23697T).

Strains TU-16T and TU-18, two non-pigmented bacterial isolates with an optimum growth temperature of about 45 °C and an optimum pH of about 8·5–9·0, were recovered from the Furnas geothermal area on the Island of São Miguel in the Azores. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of these strains indicated that they represent a novel species in a new genus of the phylum Betaproteobacteria. The major fatty acids of strains TU-16T and TU-18 were 16 : 0 and 18 : 1ω7c. Ubiquinone 8 was the major respiratory quinone and the major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The novel isolates were aerobic; thiosulfate was oxidized to sulfate in the presence of a metabolizable carbon source. The organism assimilated organic acids and amino acids, but did not assimilate carbohydrates or polyols. Based on phylogenetic analyses and physiological and biochemical characteristics, it is proposed that strain TU-16T (=LMG 23030T=CIP 108724T) represents the type strain of a novel species in a new genus, Tepidicella xavieri gen. nov., sp. nov.

A Gram-staining-positive, motile, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium, designated P9T, was isolated from soil in Portugal. This organism was aerobic and catalase- and oxidase-positive. It had an optimum growth temperature of about 35 °C and an optimum growth pH of about 8.0–8.5, and grew in medium with 0–9 % (w/v) NaCl. The cell-wall peptidoglycan was of the A1α type, with l-lysine as the diagnostic diamino acid. The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7) and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 (45.4 %), iso-C15 : 0 (22.0 %) and anteiso-C17 : 0 (11.2 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was about 39.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain P9T was most closely related to Jeotgalibacillus campisalis DSM 18983T (96.8 %) and Jeotgalibacillus marinus DSM 1297T (96.5 %). These two recognized species formed a coherent cluster with strain P9T that was supported by a bootstrap value of 99 %. On the basis of the phylogenetic analysis and physiological and biochemical characteristics, strain P9T ( = DSM 23228T = LMG 25523T) represents a novel species of the genus Jeotgalibacillus, for which the name Jeotgalibacillus soli sp. nov. is proposed.

Actinomycete strain VC-A46T, which exhibits antifungal activity, was isolated from a soil sample collected from Cheonan, Korea. The strain was determined to belong to the genus Streptomyces, based on its morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics. The cell wall of this strain contained ll-diaminopimelic acid. The predominant fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, C16 : 0 and C16 : 1 cis 9. The DNA G+C content of strain VC-A46T was 75·5 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of this strain revealed that it differed from those of the described streptomycetes available in public databases. Analyses of DNA–DNA relatedness data, together with data regarding the strain's morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics, also confirmed that this strain constitutes a novel Streptomyces taxon, which is distinguishable from closely related reference strains. Therefore, it is proposed that strain VC-A46T (=KCCM 42119T=NBRC 100940T) represents the type strain of a novel species, named Streptomyces cheonanensis sp. nov.

A novel, Gram-reaction-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterial strain, designated NAL101T, was isolated from gajami-sikhae, a traditional Korean fermented seafood made of flatfish. Growth occurred at 4–45 °C, at pH 5–10 and in 0–12 % (w/v) NaCl. Optimum growth occurred at 30–37 °C, at pH 8 and in 0–1 % (w/v) NaCl. The cell-wall amino acids were 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, alanine, glycine, threonine and glutamic acid and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The predominant menaquinone was MK-11. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unknown glycolipid. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain NAL101T showed 97.7 % similarity to that of Leucobacter chironomi MM2LBT, its closest relative. The DNA G+C content was 68.8 mol% and DNA–DNA hybridization values with closely related strains were <22 %. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences as well as differences in its physiological and biochemical characteristics indicated that strain NAL101T represents a novel species of the genus Leucobacter in the family Microbacteriaceae, for which the name Leucobacter celer sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NAL101T ( = KACC 14220T  = JCM 16465T).

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (SV325T) was isolated from the sediment of a hypersaline lake located 4600 m above sea level (Laguna Vilama, Argentina). Strain SV325T formed cream to pink colonies, was motile and moderately halophilic, and tolerated NaCl concentrations of 1–25 % (w/v) with an optimum of 5–10 % (w/v). Growth occurred at 5–40 °C (optimum around 30 °C) and at pH 5.0–10.0 (optimum 7.0–8.0). The bacterium did not produce exopolysaccharides and stained positively for intracellular polyphosphate granules but not for poly-β-hydroxyalkanoates. It produced catalase and oxidase, reduced nitrate to nitrite, hydrolysed gelatin, did not produce acids from sugars and utilized a limited range of substrates as carbon and energy sources: acetate, caproate, fumarate, dl-β-hydroxybutyrate, malate, maleate, malonate and succinate. The predominant ubiquinones were Q-9 (92.5 %) and Q-8 (7.5 %), the major fatty acids were C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c, C16 : 0, C17 : 0 cyclo and C16 : 1ω7c/iso-C15:0 2-OH, and the DNA G+C content was 55.0 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene indicated that strain SV325T belongs to the genus Halomonas in the class Gammaproteobacteria. Physiological and biochemical tests allowed phenotypic differentiation of strain SV325T from closely related species with validly published names. We therefore propose a novel species, Halomonas vilamensis sp. nov., with type strain SV325T ( = DSM 21020T  = LMG 24332T).

A 4-phenyl-3-butenoic acid-producing actinomycete, designated strain VK-A60T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from Koyang, Korea. Morphological and chemical characteristics of the strain were consistent with those of the genus Streptomyces. The cell wall of the strain contains ll-diaminopimelic acid. The predominant fatty acids are anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and C16 : 0. The strain formed a distinct monophyletic line within the 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogenetic tree. Analyses of its morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics, together with random amplified polymorphic DNA and DNA–DNA relatedness data, confirmed that strain VK-A60T represents a novel Streptomyces taxon that is distinguishable from closely related reference strains. Strain VK-A60T (=KCCM 10555T=NBRC 100598T) is proposed as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Streptomyces koyangensis sp. nov. is proposed.

Five cold-adapted bacteria belonging to the genus Mucilaginibacter were isolated from lichen and soil samples collected from Finnish Lapland and investigated in detail by phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses. Based on 16S rRNA gene phylogeny, the novel strains represent three new branches within the genus Mucilaginibacter. The strains were aerobic, chemo-organotrophic, non-motile rods and formed pigmented, smooth, mucoid colonies on solid media. The strains grew between 0 and 33 °C (optimum growth at 25 °C) and at pH 4.5–8.0 (optimum growth at pH 6.0). The main cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c/iso-C15 : 0 2-OH) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and the major respiratory quinone was MK-7. The DNA G+C contents were 44.0–46.5 mol%. Based on phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, the strains represent three novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter for which the names Mucilaginibacter frigoritolerans sp. nov. (type strain FT22T =ATCC BAA-1854T =LMG 25359T), Mucilaginibacter lappiensis sp. nov. (type strain ANJLI2T =ATCC BAA-1855T =LMG 25358T) and Mucilaginibacter mallensis sp. nov.
