Strain NHI-1T is a Gram-negative, motile, non-spore-forming bacterium isolated from oil-contaminated soil in South Korea. The strain was able to grow by using gasoline, diesel and kerosene as energy and carbon sources. After incubation for 14 days, cells (1 g l− 1) degraded approximately 58 % of oil present at concentration of 1500 p.p.m. at pH 8 and 28 °C. Strain NHI-1T grew well under aerobic conditions, with optimal growth at pH 7–9 and 28 °C–37 °C but grew poorly in the presence of ≥ 0.5 % NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the closest relatives of strain NHI-1T were Aquabacterium fontiphilum CS-6T (97.96 % sequence similarity), Aquabacterium parvum B6T (96.39 %), Aquabacterium commune B8T (95.76 %), Aquabacterium limnoticum ABP-4T (95.72 %) and Aquabacterium citratiphilum B4T (95.25 %). DNA–DNA relatedness was 41–53 % between strain NHI-1T and its closest type strains. The major fatty acids present in strain NHI-1T were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c, 44.5 %), summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c/C18 : 1ω6c, 21.5 %) and C16 : 0 (16.2 %), and the predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, diphosphatidylglycerol and uncharacterized aminophospholipids. Strain NHI-1T was distinguishable from other members of genus Aquabacterium based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic characteristics. Therefore, strain NHI-1T represents a novel species of the genus Aquabacterium for which the name Aquabacterium olei sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NHI-1T ( = KEMB 9005-082T =  KACC 18244T = NBRC 110486T).

A methyl parathion (MP) degrading bacterial strain, designated MP-1T, was isolated from a waste land where pesticides were formerly manufactured in Jiangsu province, China. Polyphasic taxonomic studies showed that MP-1T is a Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped and motile bacterium. The bacterium could grow at salinities of 0–1 % (w/v) and temperatures of 15–40 °C. Strain MP-1T could reduce nitrate to nitrite, utilize d-glucose and l-arabinose, but not produce indole, or hydrolyse gelatin. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that MP-1T belongs to the genus Burkholderia , showing highest sequence similarity to Burkholderia grimmiae DSM 25160T (98.5 %), and similar strains including Burkholderia zhejiangensis OP-1T (98.2 %), Burkholderia choica LMG 22940T (97.5 %), Burkholderia glathei DSM 50014T (97.4 %), Burkholderia terrestris LMG 22937T (97.2 %) and Burkholderia telluris LMG 22936T (97.0 %). In addition, the gyrB and recA gene segments of strain MP-1T exhibited less than 89.0 % and 95.1 % similarities with the most highly-related type strains indicated above. The G+C content of strain MP-1T was 62.6 mol%. The major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone Q-8. The predominant polar lipids comprised phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl glycerol, aminolipid and phospholipid. The principal fatty acids in strain MP-1T were C18 : 1ω7c/C18 : 1ω6c (23.3 %), C16 : 0 (16.8 %), cyclo-C17 : 0 (15.0 %), C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6 (8.5 %), cyclo-C19 : 0ω8c (8.1 %), C16 : 1 iso I/C14 : 0 3-OH (5.7 %), C16 : 0 3-OH (5.6 %) and C16 : 02-OH (5.1 %). The DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain MP-1T and the three type strains ( B. grimmiae DSM 25160T, B. zhejiangensis OP-1T and B. glathei DSM 50014T) ranged from 24.6 % to 37.4 %. In accordance with phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain MP-1T represents a novel species of the genus Burkholderia , for which the name Burkholderia jiangsuensis sp. nov. is proposed, the type strain is MP-1T (LMG 27927T = MCCC 1K00250T).

Heterotrophic bacteria isolated from water samples taken from Hiroshima Bay, Japan, and referred to as Alexandrium (Dinophyceae) cyst formation-promoting bacteria, were assigned to the Roseobacter–Sulfitobacter–Silicibacter group within the α-Proteobacteria on the basis of nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences. Phylogenetic analyses showed that two strains, CFPB-A9T and CFPB-A5, are closely related to each other and that their closest relative was Jannaschia helgolandensis (95·9 % sequence similarity). These strains were Gram-negative, motile, obligately aerobic rods that required sodium ions and 2–7 % sea salts for growth and did not produce bacteriochlorophyll a. Their optimal growth temperature was 25–30 °C. The strains had Q-10 as the dominant respiratory quinone. Primary cellular fatty acid in both strains was 18 : 1ω7c. The DNA G+C contents of strains CFPB-A9T and CFPB-A5 were 59·1 and 59·2 mol%, respectively. Based on physiological, biological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, the strains are considered to represent a novel species, Jannaschia cystaugens sp. nov., with type strain CFPB-A9T (=LMG 22015T=NBRC 100362T).
