A Gram-staining-negative, non-motile, strictly aerobic bacterium, strain X12M-4T, was isolated from Xiaochaidan Lake, a salt lake (salinity 9.9 %, w/w) in Qaidam basin, Qinghai Province, China. Its taxonomic position was determined by using a polyphasic approach. Strain X12M-4T was catalase- and oxidase-positive. Cells were rod-shaped, 0.5–0.8 μm wide and 1.1–1.6 μm long. Growth was observed in the presence of 0–11.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 5.0–6.0 %) and at 15–40 °C (optimum, 25 °C) and pH 6.5–9.5 (optimum, pH 7.0). No growth occurred at 10 °C or 45 °C. Strain X12M-4T contained C18 : 1ω7c, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and C16 : 0 as the major fatty acids (>10.0 %). The predominant respiratory quinone was Q-10.The major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidglycerol, an unknown aminolipid and an unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content was 65.7 mol% (determined using T m). Strain X12M-4T showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to Maritimibacter alkaliphilus HTCC2654T (96.7 %), Roseibacterium elongatum DSM 19469T (96.4 %), Tropicimonas aquimaris DPG-21T (95.6 %), ‘Roseibacterium beibuensis’ JLT1202r (95.6 %) and Tropicimonas sediminicola M97T (95.5 %) and < 95.5 % to others. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain X12M-4T formed a robust cluster with M. alkaliphilus HTCC2654T. On the basis of the data, it is concluded that strain X12M-4T represents a novel species of the genus Maritimibacter, for which the name Maritimibacter lacisalsi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is X12M-4T ( = CGMCC 1.12922T = JCM 30555T). To accommodate the novel species, the description of the genus Maritimibacter was emended.

Two Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented and strictly aerobic bacteria, designated strains SE-s27T and SE-s28T, were isolated from forest soil. Both strains were non-motile rods that were catalase-positive and oxidase-negative and grew optimally at 25–30 °C, pH 8.0 and with 0 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain SE-s28T produced flexirubin-type pigments, but strain SE-s27T did not produce them. Both strains contained menaquinone-6 as the sole respiratory quinone and phosphatidylethanolamine as a major polar lipid. As the major cellular fatty acids (>10 %), SE-s27T contained iso-C15 : 1 and iso-C15 : 1G, whereas SE-s28T contained iso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 3 comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH. The DNA G+C contents of strains SE-s27T and SE-s28T were 33.1 and 44.3 mol%, respectively. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that SE-s27T and SE-s28T formed respective distinct phylogenetic lineages within the genus Flavobacterium . Strains SE-s27T and SE-s28T were most closely related to Flavobacterium macrobrachii an-8T and Flavobacterium piscinae ICH-30T with 98.0 and 94.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, respectively. In conclusion, strains SE-s27T and SE-s28T represent novel species of the genus Flavobacterium , for which the names Flavobacterium solisilvae sp. nov. and Flavobacterium silvaticum sp. nov. are proposed. The type strains of F. solisilvae and F. silvaticum are SE-s27T (=KACC 18802T=JCM 31544T) and SE-s28T (=KACC 18803T=JCM 31545T), respectively.
