A Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterial strain, K105T, was isolated from wastewater of a textile dye works in Korea and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain K105T grew optimally at pH 6.5–7.5 and 30–37 °C. It contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 1 ω9c, 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 content was 36.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain K105T belonged to the genus Chryseobacterium. Strain K105T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of less than 96.9 % to the type strains of recognized Chryseobacterium species. Strain K105T differed from phylogenetically related Chryseobacterium species in several phenotypic properties. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain K105T (=KCTC 12841T=JCM 14362T) is placed in the genus Chryseobacterium as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Chryseobacterium daeguense sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-negative, non-sporulating, non-flagellated rod, designated BR-9T, was isolated from soil collected on the Korean peninsula. Strain BR-9T grew optimally at pH 6.0–7.0, at 30 °C and in the absence of NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain BR-9T belonged to the genus Pedobacter and clustered with Pedobacter insulae DS-139T and Pedobacter koreensis WPCB189T. Strain BR-9T exhibited 98.2 and 97.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with P. insulae DS-139T and P. koreensis WPCB189T, respectively, and <96.7 % sequence similarity with the type strains of other species in the genus Pedobacter. Strain BR-9T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH) as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content of strain BR-9T was 38.5 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain BR-9T and P. insulae DS-139T and P. koreensis KCTC 12536T was 3.4–4.2 %, which indicated that the isolate was genetically distinct from these type strains. Strain BR-9T was also distinguishable by differences in phenotypic properties. On the basis of the data presented, strain BR-9T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Pedobacter, for which the name Pedobacter boryungensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BR-9T ( = KCTC 23344T  = CCUG 60024T).

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, BDR-9T, was isolated from soil collected from Boryung on the west coast of the Korean peninsula, and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic study. Strain BDR-9T grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 6.0–7.5 and in the absence of NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain BDR-9T fell within the clade comprising species of the genus Mucilaginibacter within the phylum Bacteroidetes. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values between strain BDR-9T and the type strains of species of the genus Mucilaginibacter were in the range 94.0–95.6 %. Strain BDR-9T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 44.3 mol%. Differential phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness of strain BDR-9T demonstrated that this strain is distinguishable from species of the genus Mucilaginibacter. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain BDR-9T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter, for which the name Mucilaginibacter boryungensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BDR-9T ( = KCTC 23157T  = CCUG 59599T).

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, Stenotrophomonas-like bacterial strain, DS-16T, was isolated from soil from Dokdo, Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain DS-16T grew optimally at pH 6.0–7.0 and 30 °C in the presence of 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. It contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1 ω9c as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 65.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DS-16T joined the cluster comprising Stenotrophomonas species. The levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain DS-16T and the type strains of Stenotrophomonas species ranged from 95.5 to 97.5 %. DNA–DNA relatedness data and differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic distinctiveness of strain DS-16T, demonstrated that this novel strain differs from Stenotrophomonas species with validly published names. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strain DS-16T (=KCTC 12543T=CIP 108839T) should be classified in the genus Stenotrophomonas as a member of a novel species, for which the name Stenotrophomonas dokdonensis sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-flagellated and coccoid, ovoid or rod-shaped bacterial strain, DSSK2-12T, was isolated from the place where the ocean and a freshwater spring meet at Jeju island, South Korea. Strain DSSK2-12T grew optimally at 30 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of 2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. The neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain DSSK2-12T fell within the clade comprising the type strains of species of the genus Alteromonas. Strain DSSK2-12T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 97.2–98.1 % to the type strains of Alteromonas litorea, Alteromonas marina, Alteromonas hispanica and Alteromonas genovensis and of 95.39–96.98 % to those of other species of the genus Alteromonas. Strain DSSK2-12T contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), C16 : 0 and C18 : 1ω7c as the major fatty acids.
