A novel Gram-staining-positive, aerobic, endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacterial strain, YN2T, was isolated from ripened Pu'er tea. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain represented a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus. The strains most closely related to strain YN2T were Paenibacillus vulneris JCM 18268T and Paenibacillus rigui JCM 16352T, with 16S rRNA similarities of 98.6 and 95.5 %, respectively. Chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of the new isolate to the genus Paenibacillus, including MK-7 as the major menaquinone, DNA G+C content of 51 mol%, cell-wall type A1γ (meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid) and anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0 as the major fatty acids. Major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine and phospholipid. Strain YN2T could be differentiated from recognized species of the genus Paenibacillus based on phenotypic characteristics, chemotaxonomic differences, phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization data. On the basis of evidence from this polyphasic study, Paenibacillus yunnanensis sp. nov., is proposed, with strain YN2T ( = CGMCC 1.12968T = JCM 30953T) as the type strain.

A novel Gram-reaction-positive, aerobic and non-spore-forming rod-shaped bacterial strain, YS17T, was isolated from ripened Pu′er tea. Growth of the strain was observed at 15–50 °C (optimum 30–37 °C) and at pH 5.5–10.5 (optimum 6.0–9.5). Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the strain represented a member of the genus Aeromicrobium. The strains most closely related to YS17T were Aeromicrobium erythreum DSM 8599T, Aeromicrobium alkaliterrae JCM 13518T and Aeromicrobium ginsengisoli JCM 14732T, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 96.8, 96.8 and 96.7 %, respectively. DNA–DNA hybridization of YS17T with the type strains of the most closely related species, A. erythreum DSM 8599T, A. alkaliterrae JCM 13518T and A. ginsengisoli JCM 14732T, yielded reassociation values of 10.9, 16.8 and 10.9 %, respectively. The diagnostic diamino acid of the cell wall peptidoglycan was ll-diaminopimelic acid. The predominant menaquinones were menaquinone MK-9(H4) (76 %) and MK-8(H4) (17 %). The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, 10-methyl C18 : 0 and C18 : 1ω9c. The DNA G+C content of YS17T was 66 mol%. YS17T could be differentiated from recognized species of the genus Aeromicrobium on the basis of phenotypic characteristics, chemotaxonomic differences, phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization data. On the basis of evidence from the polyphasic analyses performed as part of this study a novel species, Aeromicrobium camelliae sp. nov., is proposed, with strain YS17T ( = CGMCC 1.12942T = JCM 30952T) as the type strain.

Phylogenetic analysis of ‘Sarraceniospora aurea’ NBRC 14752 and strain NBRC 15120, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, revealed that these organisms are related to members of the genus Actinocorallia. These organisms contained glutamic acid, alanine and meso-diaminopimelic acid as cell-wall amino acids and the menaquinones MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8). The chemotaxonomic characteristics of the strains were consistent with those of the genus Actinocorallia. However, DNA–DNA hybridization and phenotypic characteristics revealed that the strains differed from the recognized species of the genus Actinocorallia. Therefore, we propose that ‘Sarraceniospora aurea’ NBRC 14752 and strain NBRC 15120 be reclassified in the genus Actinocorallia as a novel species, Actinocorallia aurea sp. nov. (type strain NBRC 14752T=DSM 44434T).

Two actinomycete strains, designated LIPI11-2-Ac034T and LIPI11-2-Ac042T, were isolated from leaf litter collected from Cibodas Botanical Garden, West Java, Indonesia. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences suggested that both isolates belong to the genus Actinoplanes. These isolates were closely related to Actinoplanes ferrugineus and Actinoplanes durhamensis with similarity values of 98.2 % and 97.7 % respectively, for strain LIPI11-2-Ac034T, and 99.0 % and 97.4–97.7 % respectively for strain LIPI11-2-Ac042T. Both isolates grew well on ISP 7 medium with brown soluble pigment production. Spores were motile and sporangia were irregular. The isolates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid in cell-wall hydrolysates, and mannose, glucose and galactose in whole-cell hydrolysates. The predominant menaquinone of strain LIPI11-2-Ac034T was MK-9(H4) while that of strain LIPI11-2-Ac042T was MK-9(H6). The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0 for strain LIPI11-2-Ac034T, and iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0 for strain LIPI11-2-Ac042T. Phosphatidylethanolamine was detected as the diagnostic polar lipid. The DNA G+C contents of strains LIPI11-2-Ac034T and LIPI11-2-Ac042T were 71.5 and 70.7 mol%, respectively. Based on the differential phenotypic characteristics and the results of DNA–DNA hybridization and phylogenetic analysis, it is proposed that strains LIPI11-2-Ac034T and LIPI11-2-Ac042T represent two novel species of the genus Actinoplanes, for which the names Actinoplanes tropicalis sp. nov. (type strain LIPI11-2-Ac034T = InaCC A459T = NBRC 110973T) and Actinoplanes cibodasensis sp. nov. (type strain LIPI11-2-Ac042T = InaCC A458T = NBRC 110974T) are proposed.

A novel actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-Jh2-17T, was isolated from muddy soil collected from a riverbank in Jilin Province, northern China, and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain NEAU-Jh2-17T showed highest similarity to those of Streptomonospora nanhaiensis 12A09T (99.26 %), Nocardiopsis rosea YIM 90094T (97.31 %), Streptomonospora halophila YIM 91355T (97.24 %) and Streptomonospora arabica S186T (97.02 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that strain NEAU-Jh2-17T fell within a cluster consisting of the type strains of species of the genus Streptomonospora and formed a stable clade with S. nanhaiensis 12A09T in trees generated with two algorithms. Key morphological and chemotaxonomic properties also confirmed the affiliation of strain NEAU-Jh2-17T to the genus Streptomonospora. The cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and whole-cell hydrolysates contained glucose, ribose and galactose. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylinositol mannoside (PIM), two unknown phospholipids (PLs) and two unknown glycolipids (GLs). The predominant menaquinones were MK-10(H2), MK-10(H8), MK-10(H6) and MK-10(H4). Major fatty acids were C18 : 0 10-methyl, anteiso-C17 : 0, C16 : 0 10-methyl, iso-C15 : 0, C17 : 0 10-methyl and C18 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 71.82 mol%. However, a combination of DNA–DNA hybridization results and some phenotypic characteristics demonstrated that strain NEAU-Jh2-17T could be distinguished from its closely related relatives. Therefore, strain NEAU-Jh2-17T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Streptomonospora, for which the name Streptomonospora halotolerans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-Jh2-17T ( = CGMCC 4.7218T = JCM 30347T).

A novel strain of the genus Paenibacillus, KFC91T, was isolated from the Kafni glacier of the Himalayas. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain KFC91T clustered with Paenibacillus antarcticus LMG 22078T (98.9 %) and Paenibacillus macquariensis LMG 6935T (98.7 %). The cell wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diamino acid, anteiso-C15 : 0 as the predominant fatty acid and MK-7 as the major isoprenoid quinone. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, chemotaxonomic characteristics and other phenotypic traits, strain KFC91T was assigned to the genus Paenibacillus. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments of KFC91T with P. antarcticus and P. macquariensis showed reassociation values of 39 and 52 %, respectively. Thus, it is proposed that strain KFC91T should be assigned the status of a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus and the name proposed is Paenibacillus glacialis sp. nov., with KFC91T (=NCCB 100252T =DSM 22343T) as the type strain.

A novel Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacterial strain YN3T was isolated from ripened Pu'er tea. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain belonged to the family Sporolactobacillaceae and was closely related to Pullulanibacillus naganoensis DSM 10191T (95.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Pullulanibacillus uraniitolerans DSM 19429T (95.4 %). Growth of the strain was observed at 20–50 °C (optimum 30–37 °C), at pH 4.0–8.0 (optimum pH 5.0–6.0). The strain had a cell-wall type A1γ peptidoglycan with meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The predominant menaquinone was menaquinone-7 (MK-7). The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0, anteiso-C17:0 and C18:1ω7c. The DNA G+C content of strain YN3T was 38.7 mol%. Strain YN3T could be differentiated from recognized species of the genus Pullulanibacillus based on phenotypic characteristics, chemotaxonomic differences, phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization data. On the basis of polyphasic evidence from this study, Pullulanibacillus pueri sp. nov., is proposed, with strain YN3T ( = CGMCC 1.12777T = JCM 30075T) as the type strain.

A phenanthrene-degrading bacterium, strain TKPT, was isolated from a fly ash dumping site of the thermal power plant in Panki, Kanpur, India, by an enrichment culture method using phenanthrene as the sole source of carbon and energy. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the strain belonged to the genus Sphingobium, as it showed highest sequence similarity to Sphingobium herbicidovorans DSM 11019T (97.3 %) and Sphingomonas cloacae JCM 10874T (96.5 %), compared with only 91–93 % similarity to members of other genera such as Sphingomonas sensu stricto, Novosphingobium, Sphingopyxis and Sphingosinicella. In DNA–DNA hybridization experiments with strains that were closely related phylogenetically and in terms of 16S rRNA gene sequences, i.e. Sphingobium herbicidovorans DSM 11019T and Sphingomonas cloacae JCM 10874T, strain TKPT showed less than 70 % relatedness. Strain TKPT contained sphingoglycolipids SGL-1 and SGL-2 and 18 : 1ω7c as the predominant fatty acid, with 16 : 0 as a minor component and 14 : 0 2-OH as the major 2-hydroxy fatty acid. Thus, phylogenetic analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization, fatty acid and polar lipid profiles and differences in physiological and morphological features from the most closely related members of the Sphingobium group showed that strain TKPT represents a distinct species of Sphingobium. The name Sphingobium fuliginis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain TKPT (=MTCC 7295T=CCM 7327T). Sphingomonas cloacae JCM 10874T formed a coherent cluster with members of Sphingobium, did not reduce nitrate to nitrite and had a fatty acid profile similar to those of Sphingobium species; hence Sphingomonas cloacae should be transferred to the genus Sphingobium as Sphingobium cloacae comb. nov., with the type strain JCM 10874T (=DSM 14926T).

A Gram-staining-positive, aerobic, non-motile bacterium, designated strain SJ5-8T, was isolated from seau-jeot (shrimp jeotgal), a traditional fermented seafood in South Korea. Cells were non-spore-forming rods showing catalase- and oxidase-positive reactions. Growth of strain SJ5-8T was observed at 10–37 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.5–8.5) and in the presence of 0–14 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 5 %). Phylogenetic inference based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain formed a tight phyletic lineage with members of the genus Brevibacterium . Strain SJ5-8T was most closely related to Brevibacterium yomogidense MN-6-aT, Brevibacterium daeguense 2C6-41T and Brevibacterium salitolerans TRM 415T with similarities of 98.9, 97.5 and 97.4 %, respectively. The DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain SJ5-8T and the type strains of B. yomogidense , B. daeguense and B. salitolerans were 51.7±1.9 %, 22.2±4.0 % and 52.4±3.8 %, respectively. Chemotaxonomic data (major sole isoprenoid quinone, MK-8(H2); major diagnostic diamino acid, meso-diaminopimelic acid; major polyamines, putrescine and cadaverine; major cellular fatty acids, anteiso-C15:0, iso-C15:0 and anteiso-C17:0; major polar lipids, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol; DNA G+C content, 69.3 mol%) also supported the affiliation of strain SJ5-8T to the genus Brevibacterium . Therefore, strain SJ5-8T represents a novel species of the genus Brevibacterium , for which the name Brevibacterium jeotgali sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SJ5-8T ( = KACC 16911T = JCM 18571T).

A novel actinobacterium, designated strain NEAU-QY2T, was isolated from the leaves of Sonchus oleraceus L. specimen, collected from Wuchang, Heilongjiang Province, China. A polyphasic study was carried out to establish the taxonomic position of this strain. The organism formed single spores with rough surfaces on substrate mycelia. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain NEAU-QY2T belonged to the genus Plantactinospora and formed a monophyletic clade with its closest related strains Plantactinospora endophytica YIM 68255T (99.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Plantactinospora veratri NEAU-FHS4T (98.8 %) and Plantactinospora mayteni YIM 61359T (98.7 %), an association that was supported by a bootstrap value of 90 % in the neighbour-joining tree and also recovered with the maximum-likelihood algorithm. However, DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain NEAU-QY2T and the three closely related strains were below 70 %. With reference to phenotypic characteristics, phylogenetic data and DNA–DNA hybridization results, strain NEAU-QY2T was distinguished from closely related strains and is classified as representing a novel species of the genus Plantactinospora, for which the name Plantactinospora sonchi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-QY2T ( = CGMCC 4.7216T = JCM 30345T).

A novel actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-Jh3-20T, was isolated from river sediment collected from South river in Jilin Province, north China and characterized using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, indicated that strain NEAU-Jh3-20T should be assigned to the genus Streptomyces and forms a distinct branch with its closest neighbour Streptomyces vitaminophilus DSM 41686T(97.09 %). Moreover, key morphological and chemotaxonomic properties also confirmed the affiliation of strain NEAU-Jh3-20T to the genus Streptomyces. The cell wall contained ll-diaminopimelic acid and the whole-cell hydrolysates were glucose and ribose. The phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides and an unidentified phospholipid. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H8) and MK-9(H6). The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C18 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 72.2 mol%. A combination of DNA–DNA hybridization results and some phenotypic characteristics demonstrated that strain NEAU-Jh3-20T could be distinguished from its closest phylogenetic relative. Therefore, it is proposed that strain NEAU-Jh3-20T represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces tyrosinilyticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-Jh3-20T ( = CGMCC 4.7201T = DSM 42170T).
