A Gram-negative, chemo-organotrophic, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium (designated strain Ko04T) was isolated from anaerobic granules in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor, and was investigated using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain Ko04T belongs to the order Rhizobiales in the Alphaproteobacteria. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain Ko04T was most closely related to Kaistia adipata (97.5 %) and that sequence similarities with other species of Rhizobiales with validly published names were less than 92.5 %. The predominant ubiquinone was Q-10 and the major fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c/ω9t/ω12t, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and C18 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain Ko04T was 67.8 mol%. The level of DNA–DNA relatedness with K. adipata Chj404T was 15 %. The results of the genotypic analyses in combination with chemotaxonomic and physiological data demonstrated that strain Ko04T represents a novel species within the genus Kaistia, for which the name Kaistia granuli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Ko04T (=KCTC 12575T=LMG 23410T).

A bacterial strain, designated Nsw-4T, was isolated from a water sample of Niao-Song Wetland Park in Taiwan and was characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain Nsw-4T was Gram-negative, aerobic, ivory-coloured, rod-shaped and motile by means of a polar flagellum. Growth occurred at 15–37 °C, pH 6.0–8.0 and 0–2 % NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain belonged to the genus Deefgea and that its closest neighbour was Deefgea rivuli WB 3.4-79T (96.9 %). The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed the clear phenotypic differentiation of this isolate from D. rivuli WB 3.4-79T. The major fatty acids were C16 : 1ω7c and C16 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 53.7 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and the chemotaxonomic and physiological data, strain Nsw-4T should be classified as representing a novel species and the second member of the genus Deefgea, for which the name Deefgea chitinilytica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Nsw-4T (=BCRC 17934T=LMG 24817T).

Limit-dilution procedures were used to isolate seven, helically coiled bacterial strains from faeces of swine that constituted two unidentified taxa. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed highest similarity values with species of the genus Treponema indicating that the isolates are members of this genus. Strain 7CPL208T, as well as five further isolates, and 14V28T displayed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with Treponema pectinovorum ATCC 33768T (92·3 %) and Treponema parvum OMZ 833T (89·9 %), respectively. Polar lipid profiles distinguished 7CPL208T and 14V28T from each other as well as from related species. Based on their phenotypic and genotypic distinctiveness, strains 7CPL208T and 14V28T are suggested to represent two novel species of the genus Treponema, for which the names Treponema berlinense sp. nov. and Treponema porcinum sp. nov. are proposed. The type strain for Treponema berlinense is 7CPL208T (=ATCC BAA-909T=CIP 108244T=JCM 12341T) and for Treponema porcinum 14V28T (=ATCC BAA-908T=CIP 108245T=JCM 12342T).

A Gram-reaction-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, aerobic rod, designated BXN5-15T, was isolated from the soil of a ginseng field on Baekdu Mountain in China. Strain BXN5-15T grew optimally at 30 °C and pH 6.0–7.0 in the absence of NaCl on R2A agar. Strain BXN5-15T displayed β-glucosidase activity, which allowed it to transform ginsenoside Rb1 (one of the dominant active components of ginseng) via Rd to minor ginsenoside F2. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain BXN5-15T was shown to belong to the genus Solirubrobacter. The closest phylogenetic relatives were Solirubrobacter soli Gsoil 355T (98.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Solirubrobacter pauli B33D1T (96.4 %). Lower sequence similarities (<96.0 %) were found with all of the other recognized members of the order Solirubrobacterales. The predominant quinone was MK-7(H4). The major fatty acids (>10 %) were C18 : 1ω9c, iso-C16 : 0 and C18 : 3ω6,9,12c. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 70.6 mol%. DNA−DNA relatedness between strain BXN5-15T and S. soli KCTC 12628T was 23.3 %. On the basis of genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain BXN5-15T represents a novel species within the genus Solirubrobacter, for which the name Solirubrobacter ginsenosidimutans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BXN5-15T ( = KACC 20671T  = LMG 24459T).

Strains B1-1T and B6-8T shared a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value of 96.1 %. Cells of the two strains were Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, non-motile, short rods or cocci. The predominant ubiquinone was Q-10. The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω7c, C18 : 0 and C19 : 0ω8c cyclo for strain B1-1T and C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω7c, C18 : 0, C18 : 1 2-OH, and C19 : 0ω8c cyclo for strain B6-8T. The G+C contents of the genomic DNA of the strains B1-1T and B6-8T were 61.6 and 66.5 mol%, respectively. Based on the results of this polyphasic study, strains B1-1T ( = KCTC 12849T  = DSM 18799T) and B6-8T ( = KCTC 12850T  = DSM 18800T) represent two novel species of the genus Kaistia, for which the names Kaistia geumhonensis sp. nov. and Kaistia dalseonensis sp. nov. are proposed, respectively.

The 16S Rrna Gene

A Gram-negative, short rod-shaped micro-organism (CC-BB4T) was isolated on nutrient agar from soil from Sinshe in Taichung County, Taiwan. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence demonstrated that this isolate was novel, as it showed <92 % similarity to the sequences of species of the genera Labrys, Beijerinckia and Methylocystis. The micro-organism did not utilize methylamine or methanol as a substrate, but was able to use several organic acids. The fatty acid profile was different from those reported for the genera Labrys, Beijerinckia, Methylocystis, Angulomicrobium, Methylorhabdus and Methyloarcula. On the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, in combination with chemotaxonomic and physiological data, strain CC-BB4T represents a novel genus, for which the name Pseudolabrys gen. nov. is proposed. The type species is Pseudolabrys taiwanensis sp. nov., and the type strain of P. taiwanensis is CC-BB4T (=CCUG 51779T=CIP 108932T).

A yellowish-brown bacterium was isolated from photoheterotrophic enrichment cultures obtained from water samples of an aquaculture pond at Bhimunipatnam, India. Enrichment and isolation in a medium containing 2 % NaCl (w/v) yielded strain JA125T, the cells of which were rod-shaped and non-motile. On the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain JA125T belongs to the class Alphaproteobacteria and is closely related to the type strains of Rhodovulum iodosum (96 %), Rhodovulum adriaticum (95 %), Rhodovulum robiginosum (95 %), Rhodovulum sulfidophilum (94 %) and Rhodovulum marinum (94 %). The cells of strain JA125T contained vesicular internal membranes and bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the spheroidene series. Strain JA125T grew optimally at 28 °C and at pH 7.0–8.0. The best growth occurred photoheterotrophically with a number of organic compounds serving as carbon sources and electron donors. The strain grew photoautotrophically, but chemoautotrophic growth did not occur. Strain JA125T was able to utilize sulfide, sulfate, thiosulfate and thioglycolate as sulfur sources. Biotin was required as a growth factor. The DNA G+C content was 58 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and the morphological and physiological data, strain JA125T is significantly different from other species of the genus Rhodovulum and represents a novel species, for which the name Rhodovulum imhoffii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JA125T (=JCM 13589T=DSM 18064T).
