A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated HME8275T, was isolated from freshwater in Korea. The major fatty acids of strain HME8275T were summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c), C16 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The only respiratory quinone was MK-7. Polar lipid analysis showed phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, two unidentified aminophospholipids and three unidentified polar lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain HME8275T was 37.6 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HME8275T formed a lineage within the family Cytophagaceae and was related to Lacihabitans soyangensis HME6675T (92.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Leadbetterella byssophila 4M15T (89.0 %), Fluviimonas pallidilutea TQQ6T (89.7 %) and Emticicia oligotrophica GPTSA100-15T (89.8 %). On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, strain HME8275T represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Cytophagaceae, for which the name Taeseokella kangwonensis, gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is HME8275T ( = KACC 16933T = CECT 8198T).

A Gram-negative bacterium, designated P2T, was isolated from the biofilm developed on the inner surface of an ultrapure cooling water system in a Hungarian power plant and was characterized by a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain P2T was affiliated with the family ‘Flexibacteraceae’ in the phylum Bacteroidetes. Its closest relative was Flectobacillus lacus CL-GP79T (88.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) followed by Arcicella rosea TW5T (86.5 %), Arcicella aquatica NO-502T (86.4 %), Flectobacillus roseus GFA-11T (86.3 %) and Flectobacillus major DSM 103T (85.4 %). Cells of strain P2T were facultatively anaerobic, non-motile rods. The major fatty acids were C16 : 1 ω5c (42.5 %), iso-C15 : 0 2-OH (17.2 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (16.1 %) and iso-C15 : 0 (8.5 %). The major menaquinone was MK-7 and the predominant polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. The DNA G+C content was 54.5 mol%. Thus, the phenotypic and genotypic analyses clearly showed that strain P2T is considerably different from members of other genera in the family ‘Flexibacteraceae’. Based on these results, it is concluded that strain P2T represents a novel species in a new genus, for which the name Siphonobacter aquaeclarae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed, with type strain P2T (=DSM 21668T =NCAIM B 02328T).

© 2017 IUMS. A novel anaerobic pectinolytic bacterium (strain 14T) was isolated from human faeces. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain 14T belonged to the family Ruminococcaceae, but was located separately from known clostridial clusters within the taxon. The closest cultured relative of strain 14T was Acetivibrio cellulolyticus (89.7% sequence similarity). Strain 14T shared ~99% sequence similarity with cloned 16S rRNA gene sequences from uncultured bacteria derived from the human gut. Cells were Gram-stain-positive, non-motile cocci approximately 0.6μm in diameter. Strain 14T fermented pectins from citrus peel, apple, and kiwifruit as well as carbohydrates that are constituents of pectins and hemicellulose, such as galacturonic acid, xylose, and arabinose. TEM images of strain 14T, cultured in association with plant tissues, suggested extracellular fibrolytic activity associated with the bacterial cells, forming zones of degradation in the pectin-rich regions of middle lamella. Phylogenetic and phenotypic analysis supported the differentiation of strain 14T as a novel genus in the family Ruminococcaceae. The name Monoglobus pectinilyticus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is 14T (JCM 31914T=DSM 104782T).

A novel aerobic, chemoheterotrophic bacterium, strain YO-36T, isolated from the rhizoplane of an aquatic plant (a reed, Phragmites australis) inhabiting a freshwater lake in Japan, was morphologically, physiologically and phylogenetically characterized. Strain YO-36T was Gram-negative and ovoid to rod-shaped, and formed pinkish hard colonies on agar plates. Strain YO-36T grew at 20–40 °C with optimum growth at 30–35 °C, whilst no growth was observed at 15 °C or 45 °C. The pH range for growth was 5.5–8.5 with an optimum at pH 6.5. Strain YO-36T utilized a limited range of substrates, such as sucrose, gentiobiose, pectin, gellan gum and xanthan gum. The strain contained C16 : 0, C16 : 1, C14 : 0 and C15 : 0 as the major cellular fatty acids and menaquinone-12 as the respiratory quinone. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 62.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain YO-36T belonged to the candidate phylum OP10 comprised solely of environmental 16S rRNA gene clone sequences except for two strains, P488 and T49 isolated from geothermal soil in New Zealand; strain YO-36T showed less than 80 % sequence similarity to strains P488 and T47. Based on the phylogetic and phenotypic findings, a new genus and species, Armatimonas rosea gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed for the isolate (type strain YO-36T  = NBRC 105658T  = DSM 23562T). In addition, a new bacterial phylum named Armatimonadetes phyl. nov. is proposed for the candidate phylum OP10 represented by A. rosea gen. nov., sp. nov. and Armatimonadaceae fam. nov., Armatimonadales ord. nov., and Armatimonadia classis nov.

The taxonomic position of four Gram-negative, rod-shaped, golden-yellow-coloured bacteria isolated from marine sediments was determined. Analysis of the almost complete 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these isolates belong to the family Flavobacteriaceae. An unclassified bacterium, NBRC 15975, was found to be the closest relative, showing 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 93 %; other related genera shared only 87·9–90·5 % similarity. In contrast, the four isolates shared high levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (99·3–99·7 %) and high DNA–DNA reassociation values (93–104 %). The isolates could be differentiated phenotypically from other genera by the abilities to reduce nitrate and to degrade gelatin, casein and starch. The only respiratory quinone was MK-6, and the major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 1 ω9c and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The DNA G+C content was 38–40 mol%. Differentiating phenotypic characteristics and large phylogenetic distances between the isolates and previously published genera indicated that the isolates constitute a novel genus, for which the name Sediminicola gen. nov. is proposed. The type species is Sediminicola luteus sp. nov. (type strain CNI-3T=NBRC 100966T=LMG 23246T).

A novel marine, Gram-staining-negative, yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated CNU004T, was isolated from a seawater sample collected on the coastline of Jeju Island, South Korea. The strain was strictly aerobic, non-flagellated, non-gliding and oxidase- and catalase-positive. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain CNU004T belongs to a distinct lineage in the family Flavobacteriaceae. Strain CNU004T exhibited levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 93.8–93.9 % to its nearest phylogenetic neighbours, members of the genera Gaetbulibacter, Yeosuana and Algibacter. The new isolate required sea salts or artificial seawater for growth. The optimum ranges of temperature and pH for growth were 30–35 °C and pH 7.0–8.0. The DNA G+C content of strain CNU004T was 37.7 mol%. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH. Menaquinone-6 was the major respiratory quinone. Zeaxanthin was the major carotenoid pigment produced, and flexirubin-type pigments were not produced. Strain CNU004T was able to degrade starch and agar. Based on its phenotypic and genotypic characteristics and on the phylogenetic evidence presented, strain CNU004T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus in the family Flavobacteriaceae, for which the name Hyunsoonleella jejuensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Hyunsoonleella jejuensis sp. nov. is CNU004T (=KCTC 22242T =DSM 21035T).

A Gram-negative, non-flagellated, non-spore-forming bacterium, designated YCS-6T, that was motile by gliding, was isolated from seawater on the southern coast of Korea. Strain YCS-6T grew optimally at 30 °C and with 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain YCS-6T fell within the genus Tenacibaculum and was most closely associated with Tenacibaculum litopenaei B-IT, with which the isolate exhibited 95.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Sequence similarity between strain YCS-6T and other members of the genus Tenacibaculum was 93.8–95.7 %. Strain YCS-6T contained menaquinone-6 (MK-6) as the predominant respiratory quinone and iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c), iso-C15 : 0 3-OH and iso-C15 : 1 G as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 32.7 mol%. Differential phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness distinguished strain YCS-6T from all other members of the genus Tenacibaculum. On the basis of our phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain YCS-6T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Tenacibaculum, for which the name Tenacibaculum geojense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YCS-6T ( = KCTC 23423T  = CCUG 60527T).

A novel Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, non-motile and pink-pigmented bacterium, designated G22T, was isolated from Gahai, a saltwater lake in Qinghai province, China. Optimal growth occurred at 33–35 °C, pH 7.0–7.5, and in the presence of 2–4 % (w/v) NaCl. The DNA G+C content was 40.0 mol%. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and three unknown lipids. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH, and MK-7 was the main respiratory quinone. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain G22T fell within the class Bacteroidia . Its closest phylogenetic neighbour was the recently described species Draconibacterium orientale , the sole member of the family Draconibacteriaceae , with merely 90.04 % sequence similarity. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic evidence observed, a novel species in a new genus, Tangfeifania diversioriginum gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed within the family Draconibacteriaceae . The type strain is G22T ( = CICC 10587T = DSM 27063T).

A novel, moderately halophilic, Gram-positive coccus, designated strain S2R53-5T, was isolated from jeotgal, a traditional Korean fermented seafood. The organism was strictly aerobic, non-motile, non-sporulating and catalase- and oxidase-positive. Strain S2R53-5T grew in the presence of 0.5–15 % (w/v) NaCl and at pH 6.5–11.0, with optimum growth at 5 % (w/v) NaCl and pH 7.0. The temperature range for growth was 20.0–30.0 °C, with an optimum temperature of 30 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain S2R53-5T belongs to the family Staphylococcaceae and was most closely related to Salinicoccus roseus DSM 5351T (96.8 % gene sequence similarity), Salinicoccus hispanicus DSM 5352T (96.1 %), Salinicoccus alkaliphilus T8T (95.2 %) and Jeotgalicoccus halotolerans YKJ-101T (95.1 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was 47.0 mol%, which is in the range of 46–51 mol% that is characteristic for the genus Salinicoccus. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain S2R53-5T and S. roseus DSM 5351T, S. hispanicus DSM 5352T and S. alkaliphilus KCTC 13928T were 32.2, 15.4 and 4.6 %, respectively. Chemotaxonomic data (major menaquinone, MK-6; major fatty acids, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0; cell-wall murein type, Lys and Gly) and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis supported the affiliation of strain S2R53-5T with the genus Salinicoccus. The combined evidence from the low DNA–DNA relatedness, physiological, biochemical and other genotypic data indicate that strain S2R53-5T clearly represents a novel species of the genus Salinicoccus, for which the name Salinicoccus jeotgali sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S2R53-5T (=KCTC 13030T=LMG 23640T).
