Culture-based study of the faecal microbiome in two adult female subjects revealed the presence of two obligately anaerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, non-motile, Gram-negative bacterial strains that represent novel species. The first strain, designated 627T, was a fastidious, slow-growing, indole-positive bacterium with a non-fermentative type of metabolism. The strain was characterized by the production of acetic and succinic acids as metabolic end products, the prevalence of iso-C15 : 0 fatty acid and the presence of menaquinones MK-10 and MK-11. The DNA G+C content was found to be 56.6 mol%. The second strain, designated 177T, was capable of fermenting a rich collection of carbohydrate substrates, producing acetic acid as a terminal product. The strain was indole-negative and resistant to bile. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0 (in a 1 : 1 ratio) and the predominant menaquinone was MK-11. The DNA G+C content was 37.8 mol%. A phylogenomic analysis of the draft genomes of strains 627T and 177T placed these bacteria in the genera Alistipes (family Rikenellaceae) and Coprobacter (family Porphyromonadaceae), respectively. On the basis of the phenotypic and genotypic properties of strains 627T and 177T, we conclude that these strains from human faeces represent two novel bacterial species, for which the names Alistipes inops sp. nov. (type strain 627T = DSM 28863T = VKM B-2859T) and Coprobacter secundus sp. nov. (type strain 177T = DSM 28864T = VKM B-2857T) are proposed.

AbstractNon-human primates harbor diverse microbiomes in their guts. As a part of China Microbiome Initiatives, we cultivated and characterized the gut microbiome of cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). In this report, we communicate the characterization and taxonomy of 8 bacterial strains that were obtained from fecal samples of captive cynomolgus monkeys. The results revealed that they represented 8 novel bacterial species. The proposed names of the 8 novel species are Alkaliphilus flagellate (type strain MSJ-5T =CGMCC 1.45007T=KCTC 15974T), Butyricicoccus intestinisimiae MSJd-7T (type strain MSJd-7T =CGMCC 1.45013T =KCTC 25112T), Clostridium mobile (type strain MSJ-11T =CGMCC 1.45009T=KCTC 25065T), Clostridium simiarum (type strain MSJ-4T =CGMCC 1.45006T =KCTC 15975T), Dysosmobacter acutus (type strain MSJ-2T =CGMCC 1.32896T=KCTC 15976T), Paenibacillus brevis MSJ-6T (type strain MSJ-6T =CGMCC 1.45008T=KCTC 15973T), Peptoniphilus ovalis (type strain MSJ-1T =CGMCC 1.31770T=KCTC 15977T), and Tissierella simiarum (type strain MSJ-40T =CGMCC 1.45012T=KCTC 25071T).

Xanthomonas Translucens

Xanthomonas translucens is the etiological agent of the wheat bacterial leaf streak (BLS) disease. The isolation of this pathogen is usually based on the Wilbrink’s-boric acid–cephalexin semi-selective medium which eliminates 90% of other bacteria, some of which might be novel species. In our study, a general purpose nutrient agar was used to isolate 49 bacterial strains including X. translucens from necrotic wheat leaf tissues. Maximum likelihood cluster analysis of 16S rRNA sequences grouped the strains into 10 distinct genera. Pseudomonas (32.7%) and Pantoea (28.6%) were the dominant genera while Xanthomonas, Clavibacter and Curtobacterium had 8.2%, each. Erwinia and Sphingomonas had two strains, each. BLAST and phylogenetic analyses of multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of specific housekeeping genes taxonomically assigned all the strains to validly described bacterial species, except three strains (10L4B, 12L4D and 32L3A) of Pseudomonas and two (23L3C and 15L3B) of Sphingomonas. Strains 10L4B and12L4D had Pseudomonas caspiana as their closest known type strain while strain 32L3A was closest to Pseudomonas asturiensis. Sphingomonas sp. strains 23L3C and 15L3B were closest to S. faeni based on MLSA analysis. Our data on MLSA, whole genome-based cluster analysis, DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight, chemotaxonomy and phenotype affirmed that these 5 strains constitute three novel lineages and are taxonomically described in this study. We propose the names, Sphingomonas albertensis sp. nov. (type strain 23L3CT = DOAB 1063T = CECT 30248T = LMG 32139T), Pseudomonas triticumensis sp. nov. (type strain 32L3AT = DOAB 1067T = CECT 30249T = LMG 32140T) and Pseudomonas foliumensis sp. nov. (type strain 10L4BT = DOAB 1069T = CECT 30250T = LMG 32142T). Comparative genomics of these novel species, relative to their closest type strains, revealed unique repertoires of core secretion systems and secondary metabolites/antibiotics. Also, the detection of CRISPR-Cas systems in the genomes of these novel species suggests an acquired mechanism for resistance against foreign mobile genetic elements. The results presented here revealed a cohabitation, within the BLS lesions, of diverse bacterial species, including novel lineages.

The 16S Rrna Gene

Resequencing of the 16S rRNA gene of the type strain of Herbaspirillum putei Ding and Yokota 2004 revealed 99.9 % sequence similarity to that of the type strain of Herbaspirillum huttiense (Leifson 1962) Ding and Yokota 2004. This high phylogenetic relatedness of H. putei and H. huttiense was confirmed by the results of DNA–DNA hybridization between H. huttiense DSM 10281T and H. putei ATCC BAA-806T (reassociation value 96 %). Therefore, it is proposed to reclassify the type strain of H. putei as a strain of H. huttiense. However, the genome of the type strain of H. putei is about 0.9 Mb larger than that of the H. huttiense type strain. This results in a decrease in the reassociation value in the reciprocal DNA–DNA hybridization to 72 %, a level slightly above the threshold for delineating bacterial species. These data and distinctive phenotypic characteristics indicate that the name Herbaspirillum putei is a later heterotypic synonym of Herbaspirillum huttiense and permit the description of two novel subspecies, Herbaspirillum huttiense subsp. huttiense subsp. nov. (type strain ATCC 14670T =JCM 21423T =DSM 10281T) and Herbaspirillum huttiense subsp. putei subsp. nov., comb. nov. (type strain 7-2T =JCM 21495T =ATCC BAA-806T). Three bacterial strains, IEH 4430T, IEH 4515 and IEH 8757, isolated from water were found to be the closest relatives of these strains. Strain IEH 8757 was classified as a strain of H. huttiense subsp. putei. Studies of genotypic and phenotypic features of strains IEH 4430T and IEH 4515 showed that the strains represent a novel species, which is most closely related to H. huttiense and for which the name Herbaspirillum aquaticum sp. nov. is proposed (type strain IEH 4430T =DSM 21191T =ATCC BAA-1628T).

Two anaerobic bacterial strains, MB9-7T and MB9-9, were isolated from decomposing algal scum and were characterized using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains MB9-7T and MB9-9 are closely related to each other (99.7 % similarity) and they are also closely related to Clostridium tyrobutyricum (96.5 %). The two strains were Gram-stain positive and rod-shaped. Growth occurred at 20–45 °C, at pH 4.0–8.0 and at NaCl concentrations of up to 2 % (w/v). Acid was produced from glucose, xylose and mannose. Products of fermentation in PYG medium were mainly butyrate, acetate, carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C14 : 0 and C16 : 0. The cellular polar lipids comprised phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, two glycolipids, one phospholipid, one aminophospholipid and two aminolipids. The DNA G+C contents of strain MB9-7T and MB9-9 were 27.9 and 28.7 mol%, respectively. These results support the assignment of the new isolates to the genus Clostridium and also distinguish them from other species of the genus Clostridium . Hence, it is proposed that strains MB9-7T and MB9-9 represent a novel species of the genus Clostridium , with the suggested name Clostridium algifaecis sp. nov. The type strain is MB9-7T ( = CGMCC 1.5188T = DSM 28783T).

Sequence Similarities

Two Gram-positive, endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacterial strains, HG645T and HG711, were respectively isolated from surface water of a brackish lake and sediment of a fishery harbour in Japan and were subsequently characterized taxonomically using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains HG645T and HG711 are affiliated phylogenetically to the genus Sporosarcina, and they exhibit sequence similarities of 95.7–97.3 % to the type strains of Sporosarcina species. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain HG645T and the type strain of the phylogenetically related species Sporosarcina aquimarina was less than 10 %. The DNA G+C content of strains HG645T and HG711 were respectively 46.0 and 45.2 mol%. Major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type (Lys–Glu), major cellular fatty acids (iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0) and quinone type (MK-7) of the isolates support their affiliation to the genus Sporosarcina. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis and physiological and chemotaxonomic data, the isolates represent a novel species of the genus Sporosarcina, for which the name Sporosarcina saromensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain HG645T (=MBIC08270T=IAM 15429T =KCTC 13119T).

An actinomycete strain (0345M-7T) was isolated from a soil sample from Yilan county, Taiwan. The isolate displayed substrate mycelia, upon which were borne short spore chains. The spore chains were composed of non-motile, smooth-surfaced, oval spores. Strain 0345M-7T had meso-diaminopimelic acid in its peptidoglycan. Whole-cell sugars were galactose, glucose, arabinose and ribose. The only phospholipid found was phosphatidylethanolamine. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). Mycolic acids were not detected. Major cellular fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0 (38.1 %) and C17 : 1 (25.4 %). The DNA G+C content of strain 0345M-7T was 68.9 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data, it is proposed that strain 0345M-7T (=BCRC 16802T=KCTC 19116T) should be classified as the type strain of a novel species of the genus Amycolatopsis, Amycolatopsis taiwanensis sp. nov.

Abstract The soil-dwelling opportunistic bacterium Bacillus nematocida B16 shows comparatively strong killing activities against a variety of pathogenic nematodes. A bacterial strain CPCC 101271T, isolated from intestines of C. elegans in natural habitats, was found not only to be probiotics for C. elegans but also assist in resisting pathogen B16 infection. The lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans fed on strain CPCC 101271T was extended by approximately 40% compared with that of worms fed on Escherichia coli OP50. In addition, the colonization of C. elegans by the pathogenic bacterium B. nematocida B16 was inhibited when it was pre-fed with strain CPCC 101271T. Based on a polyphasic taxonomy study including genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characteristics, we propose that strain CPCC 101271T represents a novel bacterial species with the name Stenotrophomonas nematodicola sp. nov. and CPCC 101271T as the type strain. Metagenomic sequence analysis of the intestinal microbiota of C. elegans fed with strain CPCC 101271T and then infected with B16 revealed that pre-feeding with CPCC 101271T improved the diversity of intestinal bacteria, while the community structure varied significantly together with the fluctuation of Stenotrophomonas spp. and Bacillus spp. abundance during competition between strain CPCC 101271T and B16. In conclusion, the nematode microbiota strain CPCC 101271T, a novel species of the genus Stenotrophomonas, assisted in its host resistance to the pathogen Bacillus nematocida colonization, so as to act as an intestinal life span-prolonging for C. elegans.

Two bacterial strains, designated GH34-4T and GH41-7T, were isolated from greenhouse soil cultivated with cucumber. The bacteria were strictly aerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped and oxidase- and catalase-positive. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that these strains belong to the genus Lysobacter within the Gammaproteobacteria. Strain GH34-4T showed highest sequence similarity to Lysobacter yangpyeongensis GH19-3T (97.5 %) and Lysobacter koreensis Dae16T (96.4 %), and strain GH41-7T showed highest sequence similarity to Lysobacter antibioticus DSM 2044T (97.5 %), Lysobacter enzymogenes DSM 2043T (97.5 %) and Lysobacter gummosus ATCC 29489T (97.4 %). Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness indicated that strains GH34-4T and GH41-7T represented species clearly different from L. yangpyeongensis, L. antibioticus, L. enzymogenes and L. gummosus. The major cellular fatty acids of strains GH34-4T and GH41-7T were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1 ω9c, and the major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. The DNA G+C contents of GH34-4T and GH41-7T were 62.5 and 66.6 mol%, respectively. On the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic data presented, it is evident that each of these strains represents a novel species of the genus Lysobacter, for which the names Lysobacter niabensis sp. nov. (type strain GH34-4T=KACC 11587T=DSM 18244T) and Lysobacter niastensis sp. nov. (type strain GH41-7T=KACC 11588T=DSM 18481T) are proposed.

A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile, psychrophilic bacterium, designated strain Cr6-08T, was isolated from alpine glacier cryoconite. Growth of strain Cr6-08T occurred at 1–25 °C. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain Cr6-08T is most closely related to members of the genus Arthrobacter. Strain Cr6-08T possessed chemotaxonomic properties consistent with those of the genus Arthrobacter, such as peptidoglycan type A3α (l-Lys–l-Ala4), MK-9(H2) as major menaquinone and anteiso- and iso-branched compounds (anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0) as major cellular fatty acids. The polar lipid profile contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, one unknown glycolipid and three unknown polar lipids. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain Cr6-08T was 57.3 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA relatedness data, strain Cr6-08T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Arthrobacter, for which the name Arthrobacter cryoconiti sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Cr6-08T ( = DSM 23324T  = LMG 26052T  = CGMCC 1.10698T).

Two novel Gram-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated YCSA28T and YCSA39, were isolated from sediment of Daqiao saltern, Jimo, Qingdao, on the east coast of China. The two strains grew optimally at 28–30 °C, at pH 7.5 and in the presence of 7–8 % (w/v) NaCl. They were assigned to the genus Halomonas, class Gammaproteobacteria, based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The major cellular fatty acids of the two strains were C18 : 1ω7c (42.9 %), C16 : 0 (23.1 %) and C16 : 1ω7c/ω6c (18.0 %), and Q-9 was the major ubiquinone. The G+C content of the DNA of strains YCSA28T and YCSA39 was 63.7 and 63.9 mol%, respectively. The predominant respiratory lipoquinone, cellular fatty acid profiles and DNA G+C content of strains YCSA28T and YCSA39 were consistent with those of recognized species of the genus Halomonas. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strains YCSA28T and YCSA39, between YCSA28T and Halomonas ventosae Al12T, and between YCSA39 and H. ventosae Al12T were 95, 45 and 50 %, respectively. Together, these data indicated that strains YCSA28T and YCSA39 represent a single novel species of the genus Halomonas, for which the name Halomonas daqiaonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YCSA28T ( = CGMCC 1.9150T  = NCCB 100305T  = MCCC 1B00920T).
