A novel bacterial strain, designated S2-2T, was isolated from the intestine of a sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus in Xiapu, Fujian province, China. Strain S2-2T was found to be aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, pale yellow, rod-shaped, oxidase- and catalase-positive. Growth occurred at 15–36 °C (optimum, 25–32 °C), in the presence of 2–7% sea salt (w/v, optimum, 3–5%) and at pH 6–9 (optimum, pH 7.0). The isolate was able to hydrolyse gelatin, casein and DNA, but unable to degrade Tween 20, 40 and 80, starch and cellulose. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain S2-2T represented a member of the genus Tenacibaculum, with highest sequence similarity to Tenacibaculum aiptasiae a4T (96.9% similarity), followed by Tenacibaculum xiamenense WJ-1T (96.5% similarity) and showed lower similarities (93.3–95.9%) with other members of the genus Tenacibaculum. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω6c/C16 : 1ω7c, 33.8%), iso-C15 : 0 (13.7%), iso-C15 : 1G (8.6%), iso-C15 : 0 3-OH (5.3%) and C15 : 0 3-OH (5.1%). The DNA G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was determined to be 31.8 mol%. The respiratory quinone was determined to be MK-6. Phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, one unknown aminophospholipid, one unknown phospholipid, one unknown glycolipid and five unknown lipids were detected as major polar lipids. Hence, the combined genotypic and phenotypic data indicated that strain S2-2T represents a novel species of the genus Tenacibaculum, for which the name Tenacibaculum holothuriorum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S2-2T ( = MCCC 1A09872T = LMG 27758T).

Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain DQHS21T belonged to the genus Cohaesibacter, sharing the highest sequence similarity (96.1 %) with Cohaesibacter gelatinilyticus CL-GR15T, while the similarity to other strains was below 93.0 %. The cellular fatty acids consisted mainly of C18 : 1ω7c (60.7 %), C18 : 0 (17.8 %), C16 : 0 (8.5 %) and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH; 6.0 %), which together accounted for 93 % of the total fatty acids. Ubiquinone 10 was the major quinone. The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA of strain DQHS21T was 55.2 mol%. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data showed that strain DQHS21T represents a novel species of the genus Cohaesibacter, for which the name Cohaesibacter marisflavi sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain DQHS21T ( = CGMCC 1.9157T  = NCCB 100300T).

Diphosphatidylglycerol, an unknown aminolipid and an unknown aminophospholipid were present in moderate to minor amounts in the polar lipid profile. Strain J221T had Q-8 as the major respiratory quinone. The DNA G+C content of strain J221T was 46.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain J221T is a member of the Gammaproteobacteria . It formed a distinct phyletic line with less than 91 % sequence similarity to any species within previously recognized genera. On the basis of this polyphasic taxonomic study, strain J221T should be classified as a representative of a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Neiella marina gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Neiella marina is J221T ( = CGMCC 1.10130T = NRRL B-51319T).

Its complete genome size was 4 035 598 bp, the genomic DNA G+C content was 43.2 mol%. Whole genome comparisons indicated that A20-9T and O. hongkongensis DSM 17368T shared 67.8 % average nucleotide identity, 62.7 % average amino acid identity value, 46.6% of conserved proteins and 17.8 % digital DNA–DNA hybridization identity. A20-9T contained MK-7 as the major respiratory quinone. Its major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phospatidylcholine; and the major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (37.5 %), iso-C16 : 0 3-OH (12.4 %), and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c /C16 : 1ω6c, 11.6 %). Combining the genotypic and phenotypic data, A20-9T could be distinguished from the members of other genera within the family Schleiferiaceae and represents a novel genus, for which the name Croceimicrobium hydrocarbonivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is A20-9T (=MCCC 1A17358T =KCTC 72878T).

The alphaproteobacterial strains GRP21T and PH34, which were isolated from coastal sediment of the East Sea, Korea, were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic investigation. The strains were Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, oval-shaped rods that produced creamy-white colonies on tryptic soy agar, required NaCl for growth, contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone, contained 16 : 0, 18 : 1ω7c and 19 : 0 cyclo ω8c as major fatty acids and had polar lipid profiles consisting of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unknown aminolipid, an unknown phospholipid and three unknown lipids. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, showed that the strains were most closely related to Donghicola eburneus KCTC 12735T, with 94.5 % sequence similarity, but formed a separate lineage within the family Rhodobacteraceae. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data supported the conclusion that the strains represent a novel genus and species, for which the name Pontibaca methylaminivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Pontibaca methylaminivorans is GRP21T (=KCTC 22497T =DSM 21219T).
