Two bacterial isolates from ginseng fields in Korea, strains GR17-7T and GP18-1T, were characterized using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis of their 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed a clear affiliation with the Gammaproteobacteria, and showed that the closest phylogenetic relationships were with members of the genus Rhodanobacter. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains GR17-7T and GP18-1T was 97.2 %. Both strains showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 95.2–96.9 % to type strains of recognized Rhodanobacter species. The G+C contents of the DNA of strains GR17-7T and GP18-1T were 61.0 and 62.5 mol%, respectively. According to the DNA–DNA hydridization tests, the hybridization value between strains GR17-7T and GP18-1T was 34 %. Strains GR17-7T and GP18-1T showed less than 32 % DNA–DNA relatedness with Rhodanobacter fulvus KCTC 12098T and Rhodanobacter spathiphylli LMG 23181T. Strains GR17-7T and GP18-1T were aerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, and catalase- and oxidase-positive. Major fatty acids of both strains were iso-C17 : 1 ω9c and iso-C16 : 0. Based on the data presented, two novel Rhodanobacter species are proposed, with the names Rhodanobacter ginsengisoli sp. nov. (type strain GR17-7T=KACC 11762T=DSM 18993T) and Rhodanobacter terrae sp. nov. (type strain GP18-1T=KACC 11761T=DSM 19241T).

Three Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria (strains CC-SBCK-209T, CC-12309T and CC-5209T) were isolated from the stalk of the edible mushroom Agaricus blazei grown in the laboratory. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that all three isolates clearly belonged to the genus Microbacterium. Strains CC-SBCK-209T and CC-12309T were most related closely to the type strain of Microbacterium halotolerans (95.9 and 96.1 %16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). These two novel strains shared 97.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Levels of similarity to the type strains of all other recognized Microbacterium species were lower than 95.5 %. The third strain (CC-5209T) showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the type strain of Microbacterium resistens (97.6 %); levels of similarity to the type strains of all other recognized Microbacterium species were lower than 96 %. The quinone systems of strains CC-SBCK-209T, CC-12309T and CC-5209T consisted of MK-11/MK-12, MK-11/MK-10 and MK-13 as major compounds, respectively. All three strains contained ornithine in their peptidoglycan. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unknown glycolipid. The polyamine pattern consisted of spermidine and spermine as predominant components. Fatty acid profiles (anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0 as major components) supported the affiliation of all three strains to the genus Microbacterium. The results of physiological and biochemical tests and DNA–DNA hybridization experiments allowed the clear phenotypic and genotypic differentiation of strains CC-SBCK-209T and CC-12309T from M. halotolerans and other closely related Microbacterium species. Strain CC-5209T could be differentiated clearly from M. resistens both genotypically and phenotypically. Based on these data, the novel strains are considered to represent three novel species of the genus Microbacterium. The names proposed for these organisms are Microbacterium agarici sp. nov. [type strain CC-SBCK-209T (=DSM 21798T=CCM 7686T)], Microbacterium humi sp. nov. [type strain CC-12309T (=DSM 21799T=CCM 7687T)] and Microbacterium pseudoresistens sp. nov. [type strain CC-5209T (=DSM 22185T=CCM 7688T)].

The taxonomic positions of two Gram-positive, endospore-forming rods, strains CCUG 53915T and CCUG 53480T, isolated from an industrial clean-room floor and from a human blood sample, respectively, were studied. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies revealed that both isolates clearly clustered with Sporosarcina species. Strain CCUG 53915T was most closely related to Sporosarcina koreensis and Sporosarcina soli, showing 99.4 and 99.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to the type strains of these species, respectively. Strain CCUG 53480T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to the type strains of S. koreensis (98.7 %) and Sporosarcina saromensis (98.6 %). Strains CCUG 53915T and CCUG 53480T had peptidoglycan type A4α l-Lys–d-Glu. The quinone systems of both strains were composed predominantly of menaquinone MK-7, with small amounts of MK-8. The polar lipid profiles of both strains consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and three unidentified phospholipids. The fatty acid profiles, which comprise anteiso- and iso-branched fatty acids, supported affiliation of the two isolates to the genus Sporosarcina. The results of physiological and biochemical tests and DNA–DNA hybridization data allowed a clear phenotypic and genotypic differentiation of both strains from the most closely related Sporosarcina species. For this reason, it is proposed that strains CCUG 53915T (=DSM 22204T) and CCUG 53480T (=DSM 22203T) represent two novel species in the genus Sporosarcina, with the names Sporosarcina contaminans sp. nov. and Sporosarcina thermotolerans sp. nov., respectively.

A Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated BZ42T, was isolated from the soil of an industrial site. Strain BZ42T was able to grow at 5–25 °C. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (46.2 %), C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH (23.2 %) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (9.1 %). The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The genomic DNA G+C content was 36.5 mol% (HPLC). 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogenetic analysis revealed that strain BZ42T was a member of the genus Pedobacter, family Sphingobacteriaceae, and 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between strain BZ42T and the type strains of species of the genus Pedobacter with validly published names were 90.4–93.2 %. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain BZ42T was considered to represent a novel species of the genus Pedobacter, for which the name Pedobacter bauzanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BZ42T (=DSM 22554T =CGMCC 1.10187T =CIP 110134T).

Two Gram-staining-negative bacterial strains, designated 3A10T and ECP37T, were isolated from sediment samples collected from an industrially contaminated site in northern Portugal. These two organisms were rod-shaped, non-motile, aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive and formed yellow colonies. The predominant fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 1 ω9c and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The G+C content of the DNA of strains 3A10T and ECP37T was 43 and 34 mol%, respectively. The major isoprenoid quinone of the two strains was MK-6. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strains 3A10T and ECP37T were members of the family Flavobacteriaceae and were related phylogenetically to the genus Chryseobacterium. Strain 3A10T showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 97.2 and 96.6 % to the type strains of Chryseobacterium antarcticum and Chryseobacterium jeonii, respectively; strain ECP37T showed 97.3 % similarity to the type strain of Chryseobacterium marinum. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed levels of genomic relatedness of <70 % between strains 3A10T and ECP37T and between these two strains and the type strains of C. marinum, C. antarcticum and C. jeonii, justifying their classification as representing two novel species of the genus Chryseobacterium. The names proposed for these organisms are Chryseobacterium palustre sp. nov. (type strain 3A10T =LMG 24685T =NBRC 104928T) and Chryseobacterium humi sp. nov. (type strain ECP37T =LMG 24684T =NBRC 104927T).

Strain B538T is a Gram-positive, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, which was isolated from Xinjiang province in China. This organism grew optimally at 30–35 °C and pH 8.0–8.5. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain B538T belonged to the genus Paenibacillus and chemotaxonomic data (DNA G+C content, 47.0 mol%; major isoprenoid quinone, MK-7; cell wall type, A1γ meso-diaminopimelic acid; major fatty acids, anteiso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 0) supported affiliation of the isolate with the genus Paenibacillus. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that the isolate was most closely related to Paenibacillus glycanilyticus DS-1T, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 98.1 %; sequence similarities to other members of the genus Paenibacillus used in the phylogenetic tree were less than 96.5 %. The DNA–DNA relatedness between strain B538T and P. glycanilyticus DS-1T was about 8.0 %. On the basis of physiological and molecular properties, strain B538T (=KCTC 3952T=DSM 16970T) is proposed as the type strain of a novel species within the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus xinjiangensis sp. nov. is proposed.

Three Gram-variable, rod-shaped bacterial strains, TF-16T, TF-19 and TF-80T, were isolated from a tidal flat of Daepo Beach (Yellow Sea) near Mokpo City, Korea, and their taxonomic positions were investigated by a polyphasic approach. These isolates grew optimally in the presence of 2 % NaCl and at 30 °C. Their peptidoglycan types were based on l-Lys–Gly. The predominant menaquinone detected in the three strains was MK-7. The three strains contained large amounts of the branched fatty acids iso-C17 : 0, anteiso-C13 : 0, iso-C13 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C contents of strains TF-16T, TF-19 and TF-80T were 48·6, 48·4 and 48·0 mol%, respectively. The three strains formed a coherent cluster with Exiguobacterium species in a phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. They showed closest phylogenetic affiliation to Exiguobacterium aurantiacum, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 98·1–98·3 %. The three strains exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 94·0–94·6 % to the type strains of other Exiguobacterium species. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness indicated that strains TF-16T and TF-19 and strain TF-80T are members of two species that are separate from E. aurantiacum. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strains TF-16T and TF-19 and strain TF-80T represent two novel species in the genus Exiguobacterium; the names Exiguobacterium aestuarii sp. nov. (type strain TF-16T=KCTC 19035T=DSM 16306T; reference strain TF-19) and Exiguobacterium marinum sp. nov. (type strain TF-80T=KCTC 19036T=DSM 16307T) are proposed.

Emended Description

A polyphasic taxonomic study was performed on 22 thermotolerant, aerobic, endospore-forming bacteria from dairy environments. Seventeen isolates were retrieved from raw milk, one from a filter cloth and four from grass, straw or milking equipment. These latter four isolates (R-6546, R-7499, R-7764 and R-7440) were identified as Bacillus thermoamylovorans based on DNA–DNA hybridizations (values above 70 % with Bacillus thermoamylovorans LMG 18084T) but showed discrepancies in characteristics with the original species description, so an emended description of this species is given. According to 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization experiments, the remaining 18 isolates (R-6488T, R-28193, R-6491, R-6492, R-7336, R-33367, R-6486, R-6770, R-31288, R-28160, R-26358, R-7632, R-26955, R-26950, R-33520, R-6484, R-26954 and R-7165) represented one single species, most closely related to Bacillus thermoamylovorans (93.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), for which the name Bacillus thermolactis is proposed. Cells were Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, endospore-forming rods that grew optimally at 40–50 °C. The cell wall peptidoglycan type of strain R-6488T, the proposed type strain, was A1γ based on meso-diaminopimelic acid. Major fatty acids of the strains were C16 : 0 (28.0 %), iso-C16 : 0 (12.1 %) and iso-C15 : 0 (12.0 %). MK-7 was the predominant menaquinone, and major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and some unidentified phospholipids. DNA G+C content was 35.0 mol%. Phenotypic properties allowed discrimination from other thermotolerant species of the genus Bacillus and supported the description of the novel species Bacillus thermolactis, with strain R-6488T ( = LMG 25569T  = DSM 23332T) as the proposed type strain.

Abstract Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming, thermophilic, acidophilic bacterium, designated strain skT53T, was isolated from farm soil in Tokyo, Japan. The strain grew aerobically at 37–55°C (optimum 50°C) and pH 4.0–6.0 (optimum 5.0). Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the isolate was most closely related to the type strain of Effusibacillus consociatus (94.3% similarity). The G + C content of the genomic DNA was 48.22 mol%. MK-7 was the predominant respiratory quinone. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0, iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0 and C18:3ω6c. The results of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic, 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, and whole genome analyses support strain skT53T as representing a novel species of Effusibacillus dendaii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain skT53T (= NBRC 114101T = TBRC 11241T).

Five human clinical isolates of an unknown, strictly anaerobic, slow-growing, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped micro-organism were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogeny showed that the isolates grouped in a clade that included members of the genera Pyramidobacter, Jonquetella, and Dethiosulfovibrio; the type strain of Pyramidobacter piscolens was the closest relative with 91.5–91.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. The novel strains were mainly asaccharolytic and unreactive in most conventional biochemical tests. Major metabolic end products in trypticase/glucose/yeast extract broth were acetic acid and propionic acid and the major cellular fatty acids were C13 : 0 and C16 : 0, each of which could be used to differentiate the strains from P. piscolens. The DNA G+C content based on whole genome sequencing for the reference strain 22-5-S 12D6FAA was 57 mol%. Based on these data, a new genus, Rarimicrobium gen. nov., is proposed with one novel species, Rarimicrobium hominis sp. nov., named after the exclusive and rare finding of the taxon in human samples. Rarimicrobium is the fifth genus of the 14 currently characterized in the phylum Synergistetes and the third one in subdivision B that includes human isolates. The type strain of Rarimicrobium hominis is ADV70T ( = LMG 28163T = CCUG 65426T).

Two Gram-stain-positive bacterial isolates, strain 2385/12T and strain 2673/12T were isolated from a tapir and a dog's nose, respectively. The two strains were rod to coccoid-shaped, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. The highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity identified Corynebacterium singulare CCUG 37330T (96.3 % similarity) as the nearest relative of strain 2385/12T and suggested the isolate represented a novel species. Corynebacterium humireducens DSM 45392T (98.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) was identified as the nearest relative of strain 2673/12T. Results from DNA–DNA hybridization with the type strain of C. humireducens demonstrated that strain 2673/12T also represented a novel species. Strain 2385/12T showed a quinone system consisting predominantly of menaquinones MK-8(H2) and MK-9(H2) whereas strain 2673/12T contained only MK-8(H2) as predominant quinone. The polar lipid profiles of the two strains showed the major compounds phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified glycolipid. Phosphatidylinositol was identified as another major lipid in 2673/12T whereas it was only found in moderate amounts in strain 2385/12T. Furthermore, moderate to minor amounts of phosphatidylinositol-mannoside, β-gentiobiosyl diacylglycerol and variable counts of several unidentified lipids were detected in the two strains. Both strains contained corynemycolic acids. The polyamine patterns were characterized by the major compound putrescine in strain 2385/12T and spermidine in strain 2673/12T. In the fatty acid profiles, predominantly C18 : 1ω9c and C16 : 0 were detected. The two strains are distinguishable from each other and the nearest related established species of the genus Corynebacterium phylogenetically and phenotypically. In conclusion, two novel species of the genus Corynebacterium are proposed, namely Corynebacterium tapiri sp. nov. (type strain, 2385/12T = CCUG 65456T = LMG 28165T) and Corynebacterium nasicanis sp. nov. (type strain, 2673/12T = CCUG 65455T = LMG 28166T).
