A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (strain NS11T) was isolated from a lichen-colonized rock surface. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain NS11T was shown to belong to the Betaproteobacteria, and was most closely related to Herminiimonas arsenicoxydans ULPAs1T (98.8 %), Herminiimonas aquatilis CCUG 36956T (98.0 %) and Herminiimonas fonticola S-94T (98.0 %). Major whole-cell fatty acids were C16 : 0, C17 : 0 cyclo and C16 : 1 ω7c. Strain NS11T also contained high proportions of C10 : 0 3-OH and C18 : 1 ω7c. This pattern is typical for members of the genus Herminiimonas. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization experiments and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain NS11T from the three recognized Herminiimonas species. It is therefore concluded that strain NS11T represents a novel species of the genus Herminiimonas, for which the name Herminiimonas saxobsidens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NS11T (=DSM 18748T=CCM 7436T).

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria was isolated from a nitrifying inoculum. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, this strain, designated LMG 22951T, was shown to belong to the ‘Alphaproteobacteria’ and to be related to Devosia neptuniae (97·4 %) and Devosia riboflavina (97·0 %). The results of DNA–DNA hybridization, analysis of fatty acid composition, SDS-PAGE, physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of LMG 22951T from the two recognized Devosia species. LMG 22951T therefore represents a novel species within this genus, for which the name Devosia limi is proposed. The type strain is LMG 22951T (=DSM 17137T).

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, designated LMG 2337T, was isolated from the blood of a patient with endocarditis and characterized. The strain was affiliated with the alphaproteobacterial genus Brevundimonas, with Brevundimonas diminuta LMG 2089T (98.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Brevundimonas terrae KSL-145T (97.5 %) as its closest relatives. This affiliation was supported by chemotaxonomic data: the G+C content was 66.3 mol %, the major polar lipids were phosphatidyl diacylglycerol, sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol and phosphatidyl glucopyranosyl diacylglycerol and the major fatty acids were summed feature 7 (one or more of C18 : 1 ω7c, C18 : 1 ω9t and C18 : 1 ω12t) and C16 : 0. Strain LMG 2337T displayed an unusually broad substrate spectrum. The results from DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests allowed the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain LMG 2337T from all of the type strains of hitherto-described Brevundimonas species. The strain therefore represents a novel species, for which the name Brevundimonas vancanneytii sp. nov. is proposed, with type strain LMG 2337T (=CCUG 1797T =ATCC 14736T).

Two Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria (CCUG 39402T and CCUG 39797), isolated from different water sources, were investigated in a polyphasic study. The two isolates shared 100 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and it was shown that they belonged to the Betaproteobacteria, most closely related to Polaromonas vacuolata (97·8 %) and Polaromonas naphthalenivorans (97·8 %). A polyamine pattern with 2-hydroxyputrescine and putrescine, as well as ubiquinone Q-8, were in agreement with characteristics of Betaproteobacteria. The presence of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine, and major fatty acids C16 : 1 ω7c, C16 : 0 and C17 : 0 cyclo supported the affiliation of the two strains to the genus Polaromonas. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of the two isolates from the two Polaromonas species with validly published names. They therefore represent a novel species, for which the name Polaromonas aquatica sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain CCUG 39402T (=CIP 108776T).

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, phototrophic bacterium (JA181T) was isolated from a tidal water sample. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain JA181T was shown to belong to the class Alphaproteobacteria, most closely related to Rhodovulum sulfidophilum (97.8 % similarity to the type strain), Rhodovulum adriaticum (93 %), Rhodovulum robiginosum (93 %), Rhodovulum iodosum (94 %), Rhodovulum imhoffii (94 %), Rhodovulum strictum (95 %), Rhodovulum euryhalinum (94.6 %) and Rhodovulum marinum (94.6 %). DNA–DNA hybridization with Rdv. sulfidophilum DSM 1374T (relatedness of 39 % with strain JA181T) and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain JA181T from the eight Rhodovulum species with validly published names. Strain JA181T therefore represents a novel species, for which the name Rhodovulum visakhapatnamense sp. nov. is proposed (type strain JA181T =JCM 13531T =ATCC BAA-1274T =DSM 17937T).

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, urea-dissolving and non-spore-forming bacterium, designated strain NiVa 51T, was isolated from water of the River Torsa in Hasimara, Jalpaiguri district, West Bengal, India. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain NiVa 51T was shown to belong to the γ-Proteobacteria and to be related to Serratia marcescens subsp. sakuensis (98·35 %) and S. marcescens subsp. marcescens (98·30 %); however, strain NiVa 51T exhibited only 43·7 % similarity to S. marcescens by DNA–DNA hybridization. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of the isolate was 60 mol%. Both biochemical characteristics and fatty acid analysis data supported the affiliation of strain NiVa 51T to the genus Serratia. Furthermore, strain NiVa 51T was found to utilize urea as nitrogen source. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization as well as physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain NiVa 51T from recognized Serratia species. Strain NiVa 51T therefore represents a novel species, for which the name Serratia ureilytica sp. nov. is proposed, with type strain NiVa 51T (=LMG 22860T=CCUG 50595T).

A Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, motile bacterium, strain Ko06T, was isolated from soil from a ginseng field in South Korea and was characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain Ko06T belongs to the Gammaproteobacteria, and the highest levels of sequence similarity were with Thermomonas brevis LMG 21746T (98.4 %), Thermomonas fusca LMG 21737T (97.7 %), Thermomonas haemolytica A50-7-3T (96.5 %) and Thermomonas hydrothermalis SGM-6T (95.8 %). Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain Ko06T possesses ubiquinone Q-8 and that the predominant fatty acids are C15 : 0 iso, C11 : 0 iso and C11 : 0 iso 3-OH, all of which corroborated assignment of the strain to the genus Thermomonas. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests clearly demonstrated that strain Ko06T represents a distinct species. On the basis of these data, strain Ko06T (=KCTC 12540T=NBRC 101155T) should be classified as the type strain of a novel Thermomonas species, for which the name Thermomonas koreensis sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-negative, obligately aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from greenhouse soil used to cultivate lettuce. The strain, GH2-10T, was characterized on the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the isolate belonged to the genus Devosia, with highest sequence similarity (98.5 %) to Devosia riboflavina IFO 13584T. Sequence similarities with other strains tested were below 97.0 %. Strain GH2-10T had Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c and C16 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 59.5 mol%. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization experiments (47 % relatedness between D. riboflavina DSM 7230T and strain GH2-10T) and physiological and biochemical tests suggested that strain GH2-10T represents a novel species of the genus Devosia, for which the name Devosia soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GH2-10T (=KACC 11509T=DSM 17780T).

Sequence Similarities

A Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic strain was isolated from black tea. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons, strain QC88-366T was grouped into the genus Pantoea, being related most closely to the type strains of Pantoea gaviniae (98.5 %) and Pantoea calida (98.3 %); sequence similarities were ≤ 97.0 % to the type strains of other species of the genus Pantoea. Multilocus sequence analysis based on partial sequences of the gyrB, rpoB, infB and atpD genes also revealed P. gaviniae and P. calida as the closest phylogenetic relatives. The fatty acid profile showed the major fatty acids of strain QC88-366T were C16 : 0, C16 : 1 and C18 : 1, the same as those of its closest related species. However, the ratio of C16 : 1, C17 : 0 cyclo, C18 : 1 and C18 : 2 differed slightly compared with those of the related neighbours. In addition, the results of physiological and biochemical tests also allowed the phenotypic differentiation of strain QC88-366T from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. The G+C content of the DNA was 57.2 mol%. Strain QC88-366T therefore represents a novel species of the genus Pantoea, for which the name Pantoea theicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is QC88-366T ( = DSM 29212T = NBRC 110557T).

Blastochloris Viridis

A novel Gram-negative, motile, bacteriochlorophyll b-containing purple non-sulfur bacterium, strain JA248T, was isolated from phototrophic enrichments of a yellow–green epilithic biofilm sample collected from Gulmarg, India. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain JA248T was 63.8 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain JA248T had highest similarity to members of the genus Blastochloris and was closely related to Blastochloris sulfoviridis DSM 729T (98.5 % sequence similarity) and Blastochloris viridis DSM 133T (98.4 %) of the class Alphaproteobacteria. Strain JA248T was characterized based on polyphasic taxonomy, and distinct phenotypic and molecular differences based on DNA–DNA hybridization (relatedness of <46.5 % with the two species of the genus Blastochloris), multilocus sequence analysis, and phenotypic and chemotaxonomic evidence separated strain JA248T from other species of the genus Blastochloris. Strain JA248T therefore represents a novel species in the genus Blastochloris, for which the name Blastochloris gulmargensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JA248T ( = JCM 14795T  = DSM 19786T).
