A Gram-positive, non-motile and coccoid-, short rod- or rod-shaped bacterial strain, ISL-16T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern in Korea and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain ISL-16T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0, at 30 °C and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ISL-16T joined the cluster comprising species of the genus Planococcus. Its 16S rRNA gene sequence contained the same signature nucleotides as those defined for the genus Planococcus. Strain ISL-16T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 96.9–98.2 % to the type strains of species of the genus Planococcus. Strain ISL-16T contained MK-8 and MK-7 as the predominant menaquinones and anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 1 ω7c alcohol and anteiso-C17 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 48.3 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain ISL-16T and the type strains of species of the genus Planococcus were 15–28 %. Differential phenotypic properties, together with its phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, enabled strain ISL-16T to be differentiated from recognized species of the genus Planococcus. On the basis of the data presented, strain ISL-16T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Planococcus, for which the name Planococcus salinarum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ISL-16T (=KCTC 13584T=CCUG 57753T). An emended description of the genus Planococcus is also given.

Two halophilic archaea, strains RO1-4T and RO1-64, were isolated from a marine solar saltern in Jiangsu, China. Cells of the two strains were pleomorphic, motile, and stained Gram-negative. Colonies were red-pigmented. Strains RO1-4T and RO1-64 were able to grow at 25–55 °C (optimum 40–42 °C), at 2.1–5.1 M NaCl (optimum 3.9 M NaCl), at 0.05–0.7 M MgCl2 (optimum 0.3 M MgCl2) and at pH 6.0–8.5 (optimum pH 7.0). Cells lyse in distilled water and the minimal NaCl concentration to prevent cell lysis is 12 % (w/v). On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strains RO1-4T and RO1-64 were closely related to Halogeometricum borinquense PR3T (98.0 and 98.2 % similarity, respectively) and Halosarcina pallida BZ256T (97.8 and 97.9 %). The major polar lipids of the two strains were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester and two glycolipids (S-DGD-1 and DGD-1). The DNA G+C contents of strains RO1-4T and RO1-64 are 64.9 and 62.4 mol%, respectively. The DNA–DNA hybridization value between strains RO1-4T and RO1-64 was 83.0 % and both strains showed low DNA–DNA relatedness with Halogeometricum borinquense PR3T (42.5 and 50.1 % relatedness, respectively) and Halosarcina pallida BZ256T (37.6 and 42.1 % relatedness). It was concluded that strains RO1-4T and RO1-64 represent a novel species of the genus Halogeometricum, for which the name Halogeometricum rufum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RO1-4T (=CGMCC 1.7736T =JCM 15770T).

A rod-shaped, marine, phototrophic, purple sulfur bacterium containing gas vesicles was isolated from a marine solar saltern at Kakinada, India. Cells of strain JA134T are Gram-negative, non-motile rods, with vesicular intracytoplasmic membranes, and the strain has an absolute requirement for NaCl for growth. Bacteriochlorophyll a and the carotenoid okenone are present as photosynthetic pigments. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain JA134T clusters with members of the genus Halochromatium, but is distinctly separated from the species reported so far. The morphological and physiological differences of strain JA134T from other Halochromatium species support the description of strain JA134T (=ATCC BAA-1363T =DSM 18859T =JCM 14151T) as the type strain of a novel species, Halochromatium roseum sp. nov.

A halophilic archaeal strain, GX48T, was isolated from the Gangxi marine solar saltern near Weihai city in Shandong Province, China. Cells of the strain were rod-shaped, stained Gram-negative and formed red-pigmented colonies. Strain GX48T was able to grow at 25–50 °C (optimum 37 °C), in the presence of 1.4–4.8 M NaCl (optimum 2.6 M NaCl), with 0–1.0 M MgCl2 (optimum 0.05 M MgCl2) and at pH 5.5–9.5 (optimum pH 7.0). Cells lysed in distilled water and the minimal NaCl concentration to prevent cell lysis was 8 % (w/v).

The rpoB′ gene sequence similarities between strain GX48T and Natronoarchaeum mannanilyticum YSM-123T and Natronoarchaeum philippinense 294-194-5T were 96.0 % and 94.7 %, respectively. The DNA G+C content of strain GX48T was 66.2 mol%. Strain GX48T showed low DNA–DNA relatedness with the two members of the genus Natronoarchaeum . It was concluded that strain GX48T ( = CGMCC 1.10388T = JCM 17119T) represents a novel species of the genus Natronoarchaeum , for which the name Natronoarchaeum rubrum sp. nov. is proposed. An emended description of the genus Natronoarchaeum is also presented.

Two extremely halophilic archaea, strains RO1-28T and RO1-22, were isolated from a marine solar saltern in Jiangsu, China. Both strains required at least 0.05 M Mg2+ and 1.7 M NaCl for growth. They were able to grow over a pH range of 6.0–8.5 and a temperature range of 25–55 °C, with optimal pH of 7.0 and optimal temperature of 37–40 °C.

Two extremely halophilic archaeal strains, designated TNN44T and TNN58T, were isolated from Tainan marine solar saltern near Lianyungang city, Jiangsu province, China. Cells of the two strains were pleomorphic and Gram-stain-negative; colonies were red-pigmented. Strains TNN44T and TNN58T were able to grow at 20–50 °C (optimum 37 °C for both), in the presence of 1.4–5.1 M NaCl (optimum 3.4–3.9 M NaCl) and at pH 5.5–9.0 (optimum pH 6.5–7.0); neither strain required Mg2+ for growth. Cells lysed in distilled water. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strains TNN44T and TNN58T were related closely to Halogranum rubrum RO2-11T (96.2 and 97.2 % similarity, respectively). The polar lipids of the two strains were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester, phosphatidylglycerol sulfate (trace), and one major glycolipid and one minor glycolipid chromatographically identical to sulfated mannosyl glucosyl diether and mannosyl glucosyl diether, respectively; other trace unidentified lipids were also detected. The DNA G+C content of strains TNN44T and TNN58T was 64.0 and 62.0 mol%, respectively. The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strains TNN44T and TNN58T was 37.2 %, and these two strains showed a low level of DNA–DNA relatedness with Halogranum rubrum RO2-11T (40.6 and 44.4 %, respectively). Two novel species of the genus Halogranum are proposed to accommodate these two strains, Halogranum gelatinilyticum sp. nov. (type strain TNN44T  = CGMCC 1.10119T  = JCM 16426T) and Halogranum amylolyticum sp. nov. (type strain TNN58T  = CGMCC 1.10121T  = JCM 16428T).
