Emended Description

A Gram-negative, non-motile and rod-, oval- or coccoid-shaped bacterial strain, DSW-25T, which is phylogenetically closely related to the genera Staleya and Sulfitobacter, was isolated from seawater of the East Sea, Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain DSW-25T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0 and at 25 °C. It contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c as the major fatty acid. Major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and an unidentified phospholipid. The DNA G+C content was 56.9 mol%. Strain DSW-25T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 98.4 % to the type strain of Staleya guttiformis and of 96.6–97.6 % to Sulfitobacter species. There were no distinct phenotypic, particularly chemotaxonomic, properties to differentiate Staleya guttiformis and strain DSW-25T from the genus Sulfitobacter. DNA–DNA relatedness data and differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic distinctiveness, demonstrated that strain DSW-25T differs from recognized Sulfitobacter species and Staleya guttiformis. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strain DSW-25T was classified in the genus Sulfitobacter as a member of a novel species, for which the name Sulfitobacter donghicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain DSW-25T (=KCTC 12864T =JCM 14565T). It is also proposed that Staleya guttiformis be transferred to the genus Sulfitobacter as Sulfitobacter guttiformis comb. nov.

Emended Description

Thirteen novel Gram-stain-positive bacteria were isolated from various samples collected from mangrove forests in Japan, and their taxonomic positions were investigated by a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons showed that the 13 isolates formed a single clade with Lysinimicrobium mangrovi HI08-69T, with a similarity range of 97.6–99.5 %. The peptidoglycan of the isolates was of the A4α type with an interpeptide bridge comprising Ser–Glu and an l-Ser residue at position 1 of the peptide subunit. The predominant menaquinone was demethylmenaquinone DMK-9(H4) and the major fatty acid was anteiso-C15 : 0. These chemotaxonomic characteristics corresponded to those of the genus Lysinimicrobium. On the basis of the phenotypic and phylogenetic data, along with average nucleotide identity values among the isolates, we concluded that the 13 isolates should be assigned to the following nine novel species of the genus Lysinimicrobium: Lysinimicrobium aestuarii sp. nov. (type strain HI12-104T = NBRC 109392T = DSM 28144T), Lysinimicrobium flavum sp. nov. (type strain HI12-45T = NBRC 109391T = DSM 28150T), Lysinimicrobium gelatinilyticum sp. nov. (type strain HI12-44T = NBRC 109390T = DSM 28149T), Lysinimicrobium iriomotense sp. nov. (type strain HI12-143T = NBRC 109399T = DSM 28146T), Lysinimicrobium luteum sp. nov. (type strain HI12-123T = NBRC 109395T = DSM 28147T), Lysinimicrobium pelophilum sp. nov. (type strain HI12-111T = NBRC 109393T = DSM 28148T), Lysinimicrobium rhizosphaerae sp. nov. (type strain HI12-135T = NBRC 109397T = DSM 28152T), Lysinimicrobium soli sp. nov. (type strain HI12-122T = NBRC 109394T = DSM 28151T) and Lysinimicrobium subtropicum sp. nov. (type strain HI12-128T = NBRC 109396T = DSM 28145T). In addition, an emended description of the genus Lysinimicrobium is proposed.
