The 16S Rrna Gene

In the course of phylogenetic analyses of the taxa within the suborder Pseudonocardineae, it was observed that Saccharothrix tangerinus MK27-91F2T was misplaced in the genus Saccharothrix. After a detailed examination of nucleotide signatures in the 16S rRNA gene sequence along with the morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of this strain, which are different from those of all species of Saccharothrix as well as the other genera within the suborder, it was concluded that this strain represents a new genus, for which the name Umezawaea gen. nov. is proposed. Pseudosporangia are produced on the aerial mycelium, the whole-cell sugar pattern consists of galactose, mannose and ribose, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and lyso-phosphatidylethanolamine are the predominant phospholipids and MK-9(H4) is the predominant menaquinone. The type species of the proposed new genus is Umezawaea tangerina gen. nov., comb. nov., with the type strain MK27-91F2T (=NRRL B-24463T =DSM 44720T =FERM P-16053T =JCM 10302T =NBRC 16184T).

Five Gram-negative, motile, spiral-shaped strains were isolated from a sulfide spring (D-412T), active sludge of wastewater (D-419T, D-420, D-424) and industrial wastewater (D-416). Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolates belong to the family Comamonadaceae, within the class Betaproteobacteria, but fall into a distinct cluster. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, a new genus, Giesbergeria gen. nov., is proposed, including five species. The type species of the genus is Giesbergeria voronezhensis sp. nov. (type strain D-419T=DSM 12825T=CIP 107340T=VKM B-2350T) and other novel members of the genus are Giesbergeria kuznetsovii sp. nov. (type strain D-412T=DSM 12827T=VKM B-2352T), Giesbergeria giesbergeri comb. nov. (basonym Aquaspirillum giesbergeri), Giesbergeria sinuosa comb. nov. (basonym Aquaspirillum sinuosum) and Giesbergeria anulus comb. nov. (basonym Aquaspirillum anulus). Using the same criteria, isolate D-416 (=DSM 12826) was identified as a strain of [Aquaspirillum] metamorphum. Strain D-416, the type strain of [A.] metamorphum and the type strain of [Aquaspirillum] psychrophilum form a distinct cluster within the family Comamonadaceae (97–97·2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and share phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties. Therefore, it is proposed that these strains are reclassified as members of a new genus, Simplicispira gen. nov., as Simplicispira metamorpha comb. nov. (the type species) and Simplicispira psychrophila comb. nov., respectively.

A Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming and strictly anaerobic bacterium, designated UB-B.2T, was isolated from an industrial effluent anaerobic digester sample. It grew optimally at 30 °C and pH 7.0. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence confirmed that strain UB-B.2T was closely related to Clostridium hathewayi DSM 13479T (97.84 % similarity), a member of rRNA gene cluster XIVa of the genus Clostridium , and formed a coherent cluster with other related members of the Blautia ( Clostridium ) coccoides rRNA group in phylogenetic analyses. The end products of glucose fermentation by strain UB-B.2T were acetate and propionate. The G+C content of the DNA was 51.4 mol%. Although strain UB-B.2T showed 97.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence identity to the type strain of C. hathewayi , it exhibited only 38.4 % relatedness at the whole-genome level. It also showed differences from its closest phylogenetic relative, C. hathewayi DSM 13479T, in phenotypic characteristics such as hydrolysis of aesculin, starch and urea and fermentation end products. Both strains showed phenotypic differences from the members of rRNA gene cluster XIVa of the genus Clostridium . Based on these differences, C. hathewayi DSM 13479T and strain UB-B.2T were identified as representatives of a new genus of the family Clostridiaceae . Thus, we propose the reclassification of Clostridium hathewayi as Hungatella hathewayi gen. nov., comb. nov., the type species of the new genus (type strain DSM 13479T = CCUG 43506T = MTCC 10951T). Strain UB-B.2T ( = MTCC 11101T = DSM 24995T) is assigned to the novel species Hungatella effluvii gen. nov., sp. nov as the type strain.

An actinomycete, designated strain E71T, was isolated from the stem of Sambucus adnata Wall, a Chinese medicinal plant, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the organism was a member of the genus Glycomyces, and formed a distinct phyletic line distantly related to recognized species of the genus Glycomyces. Morphological and chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of strain E71T to the genus Glycomyces. A number of physiological properties and a unique menaquinone profile allowed differentiation of the strain from related Glycomyces species. It is therefore proposed that strain E71T represents a novel species of the genus Glycomyces, for which the name Glycomyces sambucus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is E71T (=CGMCC 4.3147T=DSM 45047T).

A previously unidentified, slowly growing, scotochromogenic Mycobacterium species, represented by strain 31118T, was discovered during hsp65 sequence-based reidentification of Korean clinical isolates that had been previously identified as Mycobacterium scrofulaceum by conventional biochemical tests. Although the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 31118T was identical to that of the recently described Mycobacterium seoulense, phylogenetic analyses based on three independent alternative targets (rpoB, hsp65 and the 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer) showed that it was closely related to M. seoulense but was a distinct phylogenetic entity. Furthermore, the phenetic characteristics of this strain were more similar to those of M. scrofulaceum than to those of M. seoulense. Taken together, these results support the conclusion that this strain represents a novel mycobacterium species, for which the name Mycobacterium paraseoulense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 31118T (=DSM 45000T =KCTC 19145T).

The taxonomic properties of strain DC2a-G7T, a Gram-negative, ovoid to rod-shaped, gellan gum-lysing bacterium, were examined. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity showed that DC2a-G7T is a member of the phylum Verrucomicrobia and the closest type strain of a species with a validly published name is Verrucomicrobium spinosum DSM 4136T, with a sequence similarity of 91.2 %. In addition to this similarity value lower than 95 %, the absence of prostheca, the orangey-red colony colour and the compositions of the major menaquinones and polar lipids also supported the differentiation of this bacterium from the genus Verrucomicrobium . Here, we propose the name Roseimicrobium gellanilyticum gen. nov., sp. nov. for the isolate. The type strain of Roseimicrobium gellanilyticum is DC2a-G7T ( = NBRC 108606T = DSM 25532T).

Five strains with strong chitinolytic activity were isolated from a soil sample collected from southern Taiwan. The strains shared more than 92 % DNA–DNA similarity, indicating membership of the same genospecies. This close relationship was supported by high similarities in fatty acid composition and biochemical characteristics. A 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the isolates were members of the class ‘Betaproteobacteria’, in which they formed an individual subline of descent that was distantly related (<94 % similarity) to lineages defined by Formivibrio citricus DSM 6150T and Iodobacter fluviatilis DSM 3764T. On the basis of the phylogenetic and phenotypic distinctness of these novel chitin-degrading organisms, a new genus, Chitinibacter, is proposed, with Chitinibacter tainanensis (type strain, S1T=BCRC 17254T=DSM 15459T) as the type species.

A novel xylan-degrading bacterium, YT-1101T, was isolated from fresh water. The isolate was a Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, motile, endospore-forming and rod-shaped bacterium. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain YT-1101T belonged to the genus Cohnella, sharing sequence similarities of less than 94 % with the type species. The genomic G+C content was 58.6 mol%. The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. Major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. On the basis of morphological, physiological and phylogenetic properties, strain YT-1101T represents a novel species of the genus Cohnella, for which the name Cohnella fontinalis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YT-1101T (=NBRC 104957T =DSM 21753T).

The isolate grew optimally at 20–30 °C and pH 7.3–7.8. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that isolate XJ259T belonged phylogenetically to the genus Paenibacillus, and was most closely related to Paenibacillus xinjiangensis B538T (with 96.6 % sequence similarity), Paenibacillus glycanilyticus DS-1T (96.3 %) and Paenibacillus castaneae Ch-32T (96.1 %), sharing less than 96.0 % sequence similarity with all other members of the genus Paenibacillus. Chemotaxonomic analysis revealing menaquinone-7 (MK-7) as the major isoprenoid quinone, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and two unknown phosphoglycolipids as the major cellular polar lipids, a DNA G+C content of 47.0 mol%, and anteiso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 0 as the major fatty acids supported affiliation of the new isolate to the genus Paenibacillus. Based on these data, isolate XJ259T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus algorifonticola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XJ259T ( = CGMCC 1.10223T  = JCM 16598T).

The 16S Rrna Gene

A novel nitrogen-fixing fermentative bacterium, designated as YA01T, was isolated from Nakabusa hot springs in Japan. The short-rod cells of strain YA01T were Gram-positive and non-sporulating. Phylogenetic trees of the 16S rRNA gene sequence and concatenated sequences of 40 single-copy ribosomal genes revealed that strain YA01T belonged to the genus Caldicellulosiruptor and was closely related to Caldicellulosiruptor hydrothermalis 108T, Caldicellulosiruptor bescii DSM 6725T and Caldicellulosiruptor kronotskyensis 2002T. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain YA01T shares less than 98.1 % identity to the known Caldicellulosiruptor species. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 34.8 mol%. Strain YA01T shares low genome-wide average nucleotide identity (90.31–91.10 %), average amino acid identity (91.45–92.10 %) and <70 % digital DNA–DNA hybridization value (41.8–44.2 %) with the three related species of the genus Caldicellulosiruptor . Strain YA01T grew at 50–78 °C (optimum, 70 °C) and at pH 5.0–9.5 (optimum, pH 6.5). Strain YA01T mainly produced acetate by consuming d(+)-glucose as a carbon source. The main cellular fatty acids were iso-C17 : 0 (35.7 %), C16 : 0 (33.3 %), DMA16 : 0 (6.6 %) and iso-C15 : 0 (5.9 %). Based on its distinct phylogenetic position, biochemical and physiological characteristics, and the major cellular fatty acids, strain YA01T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Caldicellulosiruptor for which the name Caldicellulosiruptor diazotrophicus sp. nov. is proposed (type strain YA01T=DSM 112098T=JCM 34253T).
