Selective culture of human carious dentine for Veillonella strains resulted in the isolation of two strains of a Gram-negative, coccus-shaped bacterium that has not been described previously. Comparative 16S rRNA and dnaK gene sequence analysis indicated that the two strains were homogeneous and comprised a distinct lineage within the genus Veillonella, phylogenetically most closely related to Veillonella rodentium. This was supported by DNA–DNA hybridization, which showed clearly that the two strains were similar and distinct from other Veillonella species, and the production of major cellular fatty acids (C13 : 0 and C17 : 1 ω8), which is consistent with other members of the genus Veillonella. Based on these observations, strains RBV81 and RBV106T represent a novel species, for which the name Veillonella denticariosi sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain RBV106T (=CIP 109448T =CCUG 54362T =DSM 19009T).

Ten strains of Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile coccobacilli were isolated from the plaster wall surface of 1300-year-old mural paintings inside the stone chamber of the Takamatsuzuka tumulus in Asuka village (Asuka-mura), Nara Prefecture, Japan. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of the isolates, they belonged to the proteobacterial genus Bordetella (class Betaproteobacteria) and could be separated into three groups representing novel lineages within the genus Bordetella. Three isolates were selected, one from each group, and identified carefully using a polyphasic approach. The isolates were characterized by the presence of Q-8 as their major ubiquinone system and C16 : 0 (30.0–41.8 %), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c; 10.1–27.0 %) and C17 : 0 cyclo (10.8–23.8 %) as the predominant fatty acids. The major hydroxy fatty acids were C12 : 0 2-OH and C14 : 0 2-OH. The DNA G+C content was 59.6–60.0 mol%. DNA–DNA hybridization tests confirmed that the isolates represented three separate novel species, for which the names Bordetella muralis sp. nov. (type strain T6220-3-2bT = JCM 30931T = NCIMB 15006T), Bordetella tumulicola sp. nov. (type strain T6517-1-4bT = JCM 30935T = NCIMB 15007T) and Bordetella tumbae sp. nov. (type strain T6713-1-3bT = JCM 30934T = NCIMB 15008T) are proposed. These results support previous evidence that members of the genus Bordetella exist in the environment and may be ubiquitous in soil and/or water.

The taxonomic position of a marine, gliding, pink-pigmented, aerobic, heterotrophic and Gram-negative bacterium was established using a polyphasic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the strain was a member of the phylum ‘Bacteroidetes’ in which it occupied a separate lineage. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C15 : 0 iso, C17 : 0 iso 3-OH, summed feature 3 and summed feature 4. The DNA G+C content was 48·7 mol%. Phylogenetic evidence and the results of phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses strongly support the assignment of the newly isolated bacterium as a member of a novel genus and species, for which the name Pontibacter actiniarum gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KMM 6156T (=KCTC 12367T=LMG 23027T). It is also proposed that the illegitimate names Reichenbachia and Reichenbachia agariperforans are replaced with Reichenbachiella and Reichenbachiella agariperforans, respectively.

One bacterial strain, designated 5GH38-5T, which was characterized as aerobic, Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated rods, was isolated from a soil sample from a greenhouse in Sangju region, Republic of Korea. It grew at temperatures of 15–45 °C, pH 5.0–9.0 and NaCl concentrations (w/v) of 0–3.0 %. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed the strain was closely related to Pseudoxanthomonas kaohsiungensis J36T (97.3 %), Pseudoxanthomonas suwonensis 4M1T (96.8 %), Pseudoxanthomonas daejeonensis TR6-08T (96.7 %) and Pseudoxanthomonas kalamensis JA40T (96.7 %). Its major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The predominant ubiquinone was Q-8. The major polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The DNA G+C content was 71.1 mol%. The DNA–DNA hybridization value between strain 5GH38-5T and P. kaohsiungensis J36T was less than 70 %. The combined phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data showed that strain 5GH38-5T could be clearly distinguished from closely related members of the genus Pseudoxanthomonas. Therefore, the results of this study indicated the existence of a novel species of the genus Pseudoxanthomonas, for which we propose the name Pseudoxanthomonas sangjuensis sp. nov., with strain 5GH38-5T ( = KACC 16961T = DSM 28345T = JCM 19948T) as the type strain.

A strictly aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped actinomycete, designated strain JC2056T, was isolated from a sediment sample of getbol, the tidal flat of Korea. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the isolate belonged to the genus Nocardioides, with the highest similarity being to Nocardioides luteus KCTC 9575T (95·7 %). The major menaquinone was MK-8(H4), and predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-16 : 0 and iso-16 : 1 H. The DNA G+C content was 70 mol%. Based on the morphological, physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomical data presented in this study, strain JC2056T should be classified as a novel species, for which the name Nocardioides aestuarii sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is JC2056T (=IMSNU 14029T=KCTC 9921T=JCM 12125T).

Two Gram-negative, vibrioid, phototrophic, purple non-sulfur strains, JA131T and JA135T, were isolated from marine habitats. Strain JA131T is non-motile but strain JA135T is motile by means of a pair of monopolar flagella. Both strains have an obligate requirement for NaCl for growth. The intracellular photosynthetic membranes of the two novel strains are of the vesicular type. Bacteriochlorophyll a and probably rhodovibrine are present as photosynthetic pigments. Niacin, thiamine and p-aminobenzoic acid are required as growth factors for both novel strains. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, morphological and physiological characteristics, strains JA131T and JA135T are significantly different from each other and from other species of the genus Roseospira and thus represent two novel species for which the names Roseospira visakhapatnamensis sp. nov. and Roseospira goensis sp. nov. are proposed, respectively. The type strain of Roseospira visakhapatnamensis sp. nov. is JA131T (=ATCC BAA-1365T=JCM 14190T) and the type strain of Roseospira goensis sp. nov. is JA135T (=ATCC BAA-1364T=JCM 14191T).

A Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile and coccoid actinobacterium, designated P31T, was isolated from a traditional, fermented seafood. The strain was catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Cells grew in the presence of 0–15.0 % (w/v) NaCl, and at pH 5–10 and 15–37 °C. Major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. Strain P31T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain P31T was 65.2 mol%. A phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain P31T was most closely related to Kocuria kristinae DSM 20032T, with 96.9 % similarity, and these two strains clustered together in constructed phylogenetic trees. The DNA–DNA hybridization value between strain P31T and K. kristinae DSM 20032T was 21.1 %. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, it is suggested that strain P31T represents a novel species of the genus Kocuria, for which the name Kocuria koreensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is P31T (=KCTC 19595T=JCM 15915T).

An equol-producing bacterium, strain DZET, which was isolated from human faeces, was characterized by morphological, biochemical and molecular methods. The isolate was Gram-positive, obligately anaerobic, non-spore-forming, asaccharolytic and rod-shaped. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed 92.8, 91.0, 91.1 and 90.6 % similarities with Slackia faecicanis, Slackia exigua, Slackia heliotrinireducens and Slackia isoflavoniconvertens, respectively. Based on these data, we propose a novel species of the genus Slackia, Slackia equolifaciens sp. nov. The major cellular fatty acids are C14 : 0, C18 : 1 ω9c and C18 : 1 ω9c DMA (dimethyl acetal). The DNA G+C content of the strain is 60.8 mol%. The type strain of S. equolifaciens sp. nov. is DZET (=JCM 16059T =CCUG 58231T).

A novel halophilic archaeon, strain EJ-32T, was isolated from water from Lake Ejinor in Inner Mongolia, China. The taxonomy of strain EJ-32T was studied by using a polyphasic approach. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, strain EJ-32T was shown to be phylogenetically related to Halorubrum coriense (97.9 %), Halorubrum trapanicum (97.9 %), Halorubrum sodomense (97.8 %), Halorubrum tebenquichense (97.8 %), Halorubrum xinjiangense (97.6 %), Halorubrum terrestre (97.4 %), Halorubrum distributum (97.1 %) and Halorubrum saccharovorum (96.4 %). Strain EJ-32T was found to be neutrophilic, non-motile and Gram-negative. It grew in medium containing saturation concentrations of NaCl and did not require magnesium for optimal growth. The G+C content of the DNA is 64.0 mol%. Values for DNA–DNA hybridization with respect to phylogenetically related Halorubrum species were ≤49 %, indicating that EJ-32T constitutes a different genospecies. The data show that strain EJ-32T represents a novel species of the genus Halorubrum, for which the name Halorubrum ejinorense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is EJ-32T (=CECT 7194T=CGMCC 1.6782T=JCM 14265T).

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile, non-spore-forming bacterium, designated strain A62-14BT, was isolated from a constant-temperature, spring-fed, freshwater lake. On the basis of the complete 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain A62-14BT was shown to belong to the class Gammaproteobacteria, being most closely related to Rheinheimera sp. HTB082 (96.2 % sequence similarity), Rheinheimera baltica (95.01 %), Rheinheimera pacifica (96.35 %), Rheinheimera perlucida and Alishewanella fetalis (95.9 %). The major fatty acids (C16 : 1 ω7c, 38.56 %; C16 : 0, 19.04 %; C12 : 0 3-OH, 12.83 %; C18 : 1 ω7c, 7.70 %) and the motility of strain A62-14BT support its affiliation to the genus Rheinheimera. The salt intolerance of strain A62-14BT, together with the results of other physiological and biochemical tests, allowed the differentiation of this strain from the three species of the genus Rheinheimera with validly published names. Therefore strain A62-14BT represents a novel species of the genus Rheinheimera, for which the name Rheinheimera texasensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is A62-14BT (=ATCC BAA-1235T=DSM 17496T). The description of the genus Rheinheimera is emended to reflect the halointolerance and freshwater origin of strain A62-14BT.

A Gram-positive, aerobic to microaerophilic, non-motile bacterial strain, designated MJ21T, was isolated from farm soil and was characterized to determine its taxonomic position by using a polyphasic approach. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain MJ21T was placed within the genus Agromyces, and exhibited relatively high levels of similarity to Agromyces ulmi XIL01T (97.8 %), Agromyces aurantiacus YIM 21741T (97.1 %), Agromyces mediolanus JCM 3346T (96.7 %), A. mediolanus JCM 1376 (99.1 %), A. mediolanus JCM 9632 (99.1 %), A. mediolanus JCM 9633 (98.9 %) and A. mediolanus JCM 9631 (96.5 %). Chemotaxonomic data also supported the classification of strain MJ21T within the genus Agromyces. The new isolate contained MK-12 as the predominant menaquinone and rhamnose, galactose and xylose as cell-wall sugars. The major cellular fatty acids (>10 % of the total) were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. Cell-wall amino acids were 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, glutamic acid, glycine and alanine. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, two unknown glycolipids and one unidentified phospholipid were detected as polar lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain MJ21T was 73.4 mol%. However, levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain MJ21T and the seven phylogenetically closest Agromyces strains ranged from 14 to 56 %, showing clearly that the new isolate represents a novel genomic species. Strain MJ21T could be differentiated clearly from its phylogenetic neighbours on the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic features. Therefore, strain MJ21T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Agromyces, for which the name Agromyces soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MJ21T ( = KCTC 19549T  = JCM 16247T).
