The taxonomic position of a novel actinobacterium (designated SBS-12T), which was isolated from beach sand on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea, was determined following a polyphasic taxonomic characterization. Cells of the organism were Gram-positive, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative and non-motile rods. The organism contained ll-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan and MK-8(H4) as predominant menaquinone, and had a polar lipid profile containing phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol, iso-C16 : 0 as the major fatty acid and a DNA G+C content of 73.1 mol%. A neighbour-joining tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the organism occupies a distinct phylogenetic position within the radiation including representatives of the family Nocardioidaceae. High levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity were found with Nocardioides kribbensis (97.2 %), Nocardioides aquiterrae (96.9 %), Nocardioides pyridinolyticus (96.6 %) and Nocardioides aquaticus (96.3 %). The combination of morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics was consistent with classification in the genus Nocardioides, but the isolate can be differentiated from all Nocardioides species with validly published names by a range of physiological properties. The name Nocardioides marinisabuli sp. nov. is proposed for this novel organism, with the type strain SBS-12T (=JBRI 2003T=KCCM 42681T=DSM 18965T).

An aerobic, actinobacterial strain with rod-shaped spores, EUM 221T, which was isolated from the surface-sterilized stem of a grey box tree (Eucalyptus microcarpa), is described. Phylogenetic evaluation based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity showed that this isolate belongs to the family Pseudonocardiaceae, with the closest neighbour being Pseudonocardia zijingensis 6330T (98.7 %). The level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the isolate and species of the genus Pseudonocardia with validly published names ranged from 95 to 98 %. Chemotaxonomic data (meso-diaminopimelic acid; major menaquinone MK-8(H4); major fatty acid iso-C16 : 0) confirmed the affiliation of strain EUM 221T to the genus Pseudonocardia. The results of the phylogenetic analysis, including physiological and biochemical studies in combination with DNA–DNA hybridization, allowed the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain EUM 221T from the closest described species. Therefore, this strain represented a novel species and the name proposed is Pseudonocardia adelaidensis sp. nov. The type strain is EUM 221T (=DSM 45352T =ACM 5286T).

A xylanolytic bacterium, strain S1-3T, was isolated from soil collected in Nan province, Thailand. It was characterized taxonomically based on phenotypic characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison. The strain was a Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium. It contained meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The major menaquinone was MK-7. Iso-C16 : 0 (39.5 %) and anteiso-C15 : 0 (26.8 %) were predominant cellular fatty acids. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol were the major polar lipids. The DNA G+C content was 53.3 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain S1-3T was affiliated to the genus Cohnella, and was closely related to Cohnella ginsengisoli GR21-5T and Cohnella thermotolerans CCUG 47242T with 95.7 and 95.3 % sequence similarity, respectively. Strain S1-3T could be clearly distinguished from related species of the genus Cohnella by its physiological and biochemical characteristics as well as by its phylogenetic position. Therefore, the strain represents a novel species of the genus Cohnella, for which the name Cohnella thailandensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S1-3T (=KCTC 22296T =TISTR 1890T =PCU 306T).

A rod-shaped actinobacterium, designated strain RS-16T, was isolated from a rhizosphere soil and its taxonomic position was determined by a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain RS-16T was most closely related to the type strain of Motilibacter peucedani (98.3 % sequence similarity). The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained ll-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and N-glycolylated murein. The major whole-cell sugars were glucose, galactose and mannose. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The major fatty acids were C18 : 1ω9c and C16 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 73.1 mol%. The phenotypic and DNA–DNA hybridization data showed that strain RS-16T ( = KACC 16209T = DSM 45622T) represents a novel species of the genus Motilibacter , for which Motilibacter rhizosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed. Based on the phylogenetic position determined by 16S rRNA gene analysis and the signature nucleotide set of the 16S rRNA sequence, the genus Motilibacter represents a novel family of the suborder Frankineae , for which the name Motilibacteraceae fam. nov. is proposed.

Emended Description

A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, heterotrophic, obligately halophilic bacterium, designated strain JJM85T, was isolated from beach sand in Jeju, Republic of Korea. Cells were rod-shaped and motile by means of flagella; colonies were pink, convex and smooth with an entire edge. The organism grew at pH 5.0–10.0 and 4–30 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the organism belonged to the genus Loktanella of the class Alphaproteobacteria and formed a tight cluster with the type strain of Loktanella hongkongensis (96.0 % sequence similarity). The DNA G+C content and fatty acid profile of the novel strain supported affiliation with the genus Loktanella. However, the novel strain could be differentiated clearly from members of this genus by cell motility, some physiological properties and low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (93.1–96.0 %). On the basis of the polyphasic data presented here, strain JJM85T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Loktanella, for which the name Loktanella pyoseonensis sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is JJM85T (=KCTC 22372T =DSM 21424T).

A Gram-positive, non-motile, spherical, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, DS-52T, was isolated from soil from Dokdo, Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. It grew optimally at 25 °C and pH 6.0–7.0. Strain DS-52T had meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan, and galactose, mannose, xylose and rhamnose as whole-cell sugars. It contained MK-8(H4) and MK-9(H4) as the predominant menaquinones and anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and C17 : 0 as major fatty acids. Major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DS-52T is most closely related to the genus Nakamurella of the suborder Frankineae. Strain DS-52T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 96.5 % to Nakamurella multipartita JCM 9543T and 92.0–93.9 % to other members of the suborder Frankineae. The diagnostic diamino acid type and polar lipid profile of strain DS-52T were the same as those of the genus Nakamurella. However, strain DS-52T could be clearly distinguished from the genus Nakamurella by differences in predominant menaquinones, major fatty acids and cell-wall sugars. Accordingly, based on combined phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain DS-52T (=KCTC 19127T=CIP 108919T) is proposed as the type strain of a novel species in a new genus, Humicoccus flavidus gen. nov., sp. nov.

Taxonomic Approach

A Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated DPG-21T, was isolated from seawater from the South Sea in Korea, and investigated using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain DPG-21T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0, at 30 °C and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. In a neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain DPG-21T clustered with Tropicimonas isoalkanivorans B51T (with a sequence similarity of 97.1 %); the novel strain showed lower 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities (<95.4 %) with the other species included in the tree. The mean DNA–DNA relatedness value between strain DPG-21T and T. isoalkanivorans DSM 19548T was 12 %. The predominant ubiquinones of strain DPG-21T were Q-10 and Q-9 while C18 : 1ω7c was the strain’s major fatty acid. The polar lipid profile of strain DPG-21T was similar to that of T. isoalkanivorans DSM 19548T. The genomic DNA G+C content of the novel strain was 69.6 mol%. Some phenotypic properties and the phylogenetic and genetic data indicated that strain DPG-21T was distinct from T. isoalkanivorans and represents a novel species of the genus Tropicimonas, for which the name Tropicimonas aquimaris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DPG-21T ( = KCTC 23424T = CCUG 60524T).

A novel halophilic, filamentous actinomycete strain, designated YIM 93221T, was isolated from a salt lake in Xinjiang province, north-west China, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic characterization. The isolate grew with 9–23 % (w/v) NaCl and did not grow without NaCl. The isolate formed spiny aerial mycelium and did not form spores at maturity. The isolate contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and glucose, glucosamine, mannose and an unknown sugar as the major whole-cell sugars. The phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides and an unknown phospholipid. MK-8(H4) was the predominant menaquinone. The major fatty acid was iso-C16 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 68.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain YIM 93221T formed a distinct lineage within the suborder Pseudonocardineae and showed 91.9–94.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with members of the suborder Pseudonocardineae. On the basis of the evidence from this polyphasic study, a novel genus and species, Haloechinothrix alba gen. nov., sp. nov., are proposed. The type strain of Haloechinothrix alba is YIM 93221T (=DSM 45207T =CCTCC AB 208140T).

A coccoid- to ovoid-shaped, Gram-positive, non-motile bacterial strain, designated phenol-AT, was isolated from an oil-contaminated coastal sand sample collected from Pingtung County, southern Taiwan, and characterized by use of a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel strain formed a monophyletic branch at the periphery of the evolutionary radiation occupied by the genus Brachybacterium in the family Dermabacteraceae, class Actinobacteria. The closest neighbours were Brachybacterium rhamnosum LMG 19848T (96.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Brachybacterium nesterenkovii DSM 9573T (97.0 %) and Brachybacterium muris C3H-21T (96.3 %). The peptidoglycan type of strain phenol-AT was variation A4γ with meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic cell-wall diamino acid. The isolate contained MK-7 as the major component of the quinone system. The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and unidentified phospholipids and glycolipids. The predominant fatty acid was anteiso-C15 : 0 (59.5 %); significant amounts of iso-C16 : 0 (9.4 %), iso-C14 : 0 (9.5 %) and anteiso-C17 : 0 (10.8 %) were also present. The isolate was also distinguished from recognized members of the genus Brachybacterium on the basis of several phenotypic and biochemical characteristics. It is evident from the genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data that isolate phenol-AT represents a novel species of the genus Brachybacterium, for which the name Brachybacterium phenoliresistens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is phenol-AT (=LMG 23707T=BCRC 17589T).
