A novel strain of Gram-staining-positive actinobacterium, designated strain JR-39T, was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of bamboo (Sasa borealis) sampled in Damyang, Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic approach. The isolate formed flexuous chains of spores that were cylindrical and smooth-surfaced. Strain JR-39T grew at 4–37 °C (optimum 28 °C). The pH range for growth was pH 5–10 (optimum pH 6–8) and the NaCl range for growth was 0–5 % (w/v) with optimum growth at 1 % NaCl. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained ll-diaminopimelic acid, glutamic acid, alanine and glycine. Whole-cell hydrolysates mainly contained glucose, mannose, ribose and rhamnose. Predominant menaquinones were MK-9 (H6), MK-9 (H8) and MK-9 (H4). The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C14 : 0. The G+C content of the DNA was 72.3 ± 0.34 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain JR-39T belonged to the genus Streptomyces, showing the highest sequence similarity to Streptomyces panaciradicis 1MR-8T (99.4 %), Streptomyces capoamus JCM 4734T (98.8 %), Streptomyces galbus DSM 40089T (98.7 %), Streptomyces longwoodensis LMG 20096T (98.7 %), Streptomyces bungoensis NBRC 15711T (98.7 %) and Streptomyces rhizophilus JR-41T (98.7 %). However, DNA–DNA hybridization assays, as well as physiological and biochemical analyses, showed that strain JR-39T could be differentiated from its closest phylogenetic relatives. On the basis of the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain JR-39T represents a novel species for which the name Streptomyces sasae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JR-39T ( = KACC 17182T = NBRC 109809T).

A Gram-staining negative, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain YIM 78110T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from Hehua hot spring in Tengchong, Yunnan province, south-west China. The taxonomic status of strain YIM 78110T was confirmed by a polyphasic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain YIM 78110T belongs to the genus Cecembia, displaying 96.8 % and 94.7 % sequence similarity with the two most closely related type strains, Cecembia calidifontis RQ-33T and Cecembia lonarensis LW9T, respectively. The low value of DNA–DNA hybridization (52.3 ± 2.3 %) between strain YIM 78110T and its closest neighbour, Cecembia calidifontis RQ-33T, indicated that this new isolate represented a different genomic species in the genus Cecembia. The temperature for growth ranged from 30 to 50 °C. The pH for growth ranged from pH 4.0 to 10.0, with NaCl tolerance of 0.5–6.0 % (w/v).

AbstractA Gram-staining-negative, non-spore-forming, short, straight rod, non-motile, obligate anaerobic bacterial strain, AF73-05CM02T, was isolated from faecal sample of thirty-years old healthy male. Colonies were approximately 0.2mm in diameter, beige and circular after 4 days of incubation on PYG agar under anaerobic conditions at 37°C. Strain AF73-05CM02T grew in a temperature range between 30-42°C and pH range from 6.0 to 8.5, with optimum growth at 37-42°C and pH 7.0. Base on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain AF73-05CM02T belongs to the genus Christensenella and showed the highest level of sequence similarity with Christensenella minuta YIT 12065T. The predominant fatty acids of strain AF73-05CM02T were C10:0 (7.5%), iso-C11:0 (5.6%), C12:0 (7.2%), C14:0 (46.6%), iso-C15:0 (7.4%), C16:0 (9.7%) and C18:1 ω 9 c (6.9%). Acetic acid, formic acid, butyric acid and lactic acid were end products of glucose fermentation. The isolate was negative for catalase, indole production and hydrolysis of gelatin. Genomic relatedness analyses based on average nucleotide identity indicated strain AF73-05CM02T significantly differed from other species of the genus Christensenella, showing ANI values under 82.89% with the phylogenetically closest species. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 52.07 mol% from genome sequence, which differs from that of Christensenella minuta. Several physiological biochemical and genotypic properties differentiated the novel bacterial strain from the related species, indicating that the isolate represent a new species of the genus Christensenella for which the name Christensenella intestinihominis sp. nov. is proposed, with strain AF73-05CM02T (=CGMCC 1.5207T =DSM 103477T) being the type strain. The follow study approached the function of cholesterol-lowering for strains AF73-05CM02T and DSM 22067T revealed the two strains exhibit capacity for removing cholesterol with efficiency of 36.6% and 54.3%. Exopolysaccharide production of two strains were 234 and 271 mg/L, respectively.
