A new lanthanide (Ln3+)-dependent methanol-utilizing bacterial strain, La3113T, was isolated from rice field soil and its taxonomic position was investigated using polyphasic approaches. The strain was aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, strongly motile, catalase-positive and cytochrome oxidase-positive. It could neither catalyse the hydrolysis of urea nor reduce nitrate to nitrite. Growth was observed within a temperature range of 10–40 °C and a pH range of 6–8, with optimum growth at 28 °C and pH 7. Methylamine was utilized as the single source of energy, carbon and nitrogen, and it was oxidized by methylamine dehydrogenase. C16 : 1  ω7c, C16 : 1  ω6c and C16 : 0 were the dominant cellular fatty acids. Its draft genome (2.67 Mbp and 44.9 mol% G+C content) encodes genes including three Ln3+-dependent methanol dehydrogenase (XoxF-type MDH) genes, those for formaldehyde assimilation (ribulose monophosphate pathway), formate dehydrogenases and methylamine dehydrogenases, but not Ca2+-dependent MDH (MxaFI-MDH), which characterizes the species as a Ln3+-dependent methylotroph. The 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain La3113T belongs to the genus Methylotenera and is closely related to Methylotenera mobilis JLW8T (98.29 % identity). The digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values (less than 30 %) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values (less than 85 %) between genomes of strain La3113T and related type strains were lower than the thresholds for species delineation (70 % for dDDH and 95–96 % for ANI). On the basis of these polyphasic approaches, we propose a novel Methylotenera species, Methylotenera oryzisoli sp. nov. (type strain La3113T=NBRC 111954T=DSM 103219T).

The 16S Rrna Gene

A novel mesophilic, hydrogenotrophic methanogen, designated strain TNRT, was isolated from an anaerobic, propionate-degradation enrichment culture that was originally established from a rice field soil sample from Taiwan. Cells were non-motile rods, 2.0–6.5 µm long by 0.3 µm wide. Filamentous (up to about 100 µm) and coccoid (about 1 µm in diameter) cells were also observed in cultures in the late exponential phase of growth. Strain TNRT grew at 20–40 °C (optimally at 37 °C), at pH 6.5–7.4 (optimally at pH 7.0) and in the presence of 0–25 g NaCl l−1 (optimally at 0 g NaCl l−1). The strain utilized H2/CO2 and formate for growth and produced methane. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 56.4 mol%. Based on sequences of both the 16S rRNA gene and the methanogen-specific marker gene mcrA, strain TNRT was related most closely to Methanolinea tarda NOBI-1T; levels of sequence similarities were 94.8 and 86.4 %, respectively. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity indicates that strain TNRT and M. tarda NOBI-1T represent different species within the same genus. This is supported by shared phenotypic properties, including substrate usage and cell morphology, and differences in growth temperature. Based on these genetic and phenotypic properties, strain TNRT is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Methanolinea , for which the name Methanolinea mesophila sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is TNRT ( = NBRC 105659T = DSM 23604T). In addition, we also suggest family status for the E1/E2 group within the order Methanomicrobiales , for which the name Methanoregulaceae fam. nov. is proposed; the type genus of family is Methanoregula.

A novel aerobic soil actinobacterium (strain MB10T) belonging to the genus Microbacterium was isolated from rice field soil samples collected from Jagatpur, Orissa, India. Cells were Gram-stain positive, short rod-shaped and motile. The strain was oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. Heterotrophic growth was observed at pH 5.0–11.0 and at 16–37 °C; optimum growth was observed at 28 °C and pH 7.0–9.0. The DNA G+C content was 71.6 mol%. Predominant cellular fatty acids of strain MB10T were iso-C14 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. Cell wall sugars were galactose, glucose and rhamnose. The major isoprenoid quinones were MK-9 (10 %), MK-10 (43 %) and MK-11 (36 %). The peptidoglycan represents the peptidoglycan type B2β. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phospholipid and unknown glycolipids. 16S rRNA gene sequence identity revealed the strain MB10T clustered within the radiation of the genus Microbacterium and showed 99.2 % similarity with Microbacterium barkeri DSM 20145T. However, DNA–DNA similarity study was 37.0 % with Microbacterium barkeri DSM 20145T, the nearest phylogenetic relative. On the basis of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA reassociation studies, it is proposed that strain MB10T represents a novel species of the genus Microbacterium , for which the name Microbacterium oryzae sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is MB10T ( = JCM 16837T = DSM 23396 T ).

An obligately anaerobic bacterial strain designated KC3T was isolated from a rice straw-degrading culture, for which soil of a Japanese rice field was used as the inoculum. Cells of strain KC3T were determined to be non-cellulolytic, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, ellipsoidal, spore-forming rods, 0.8–1×4–25 µm. Endospores were formed at a terminal position in elongated cells (12–25 µm, mean 15 µm). The temperature range for growth was 20–50 °C, with an optimum at 37 °C. The pH range for growth was 5.0–7.5, with an optimum at pH 6.0 (slightly acidophilic). Strain KC3T fermented cellobiose to lactate, butyrate, acetate, formate, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The major cellular fatty acids (>10 %) were C14 : 0, C16 : 0 and C19 : 0 cyclo 11,12 dimethylacetal. The DNA G+C content of strain KC3T was 37.5 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain KC3T shared low sequence similarity (<93 %) with type strains of the genus Clostridium sensu stricto (Clostridium rRNA cluster I). Analyses of the DNA gyrase A and ATP synthase beta subunit sequences supported the affiliation of strain KC3T to the genus Clostridium sensu stricto. The evidence presented here indicates that strain KC3T represents a novel species of the genus Clostridium , for which the name Clostridium oryzae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Clostridium oryzae is KC3T ( = DSM 28571T = NBRC 110163T).

A thermophilic, aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, filamentous bacterium, strain PRI-4131T, was isolated from an intertidal hot spring in Isafjardardjup, NW Iceland. The strain grew chemo-organotrophically on various carbohydrates. The temperature range for growth was 40–65 °C (optimum 55 °C), the pH range was pH 6.5–9.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and the NaCl range was 0–3 % (w/v) (optimum 0.5 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain PRI-4131T represented a distinct lineage within the class Caldilineae of the phylum Chloroflexi. The highest levels of sequence similarity, about 91 %, were with Caldilinea aerophila STL-6-O1T and Caldilinea tarbellica D1-25-10-4T. Fermentative growth was not observed for strain PRI-4131T, which, in addition to other characteristics, distinguished it from the two Caldilinea species. Owing to both phylogenetic and phenotypic differences from the described members of the class Caldilineae , we propose to accommodate strain PRI-4131T in a novel species in a new genus, Litorilinea aerophila gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Litorilinea aerophila is PRI-4131T ( = DSM 25763T  = ATCC BAA-2444T).

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterium was isolated and designated strain L6-8T during a study of endophytic bacterial communities in lesser duckweed (Lemna aequinoctialis). Cells of strain L6-8T were motile with peritrichous flagella. The analysis of the nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain L6-8T was phylogenetically related to species of the genus Rhizobium . Its closest relatives were Rhizobium borbori DN316T (97.6 %), Rhizobium oryzae Alt 505T (97.3 %) and Rhizobium pseudoryzae J3-A127T (97.0 %). The sequence similarity analysis of housekeeping genes recA, glnII, atpD and gyrB showed low levels of sequence similarity (<91.5 %) between strain L6-8T and other species of the genus Rhizobium with validly published names. The pH range for growth was 4.0–9.0 (optimum 6.0–7.0), and the temperature range for growth was 20–45 °C (optimum 30 °C). Strain L6-8T tolerated NaCl up to 2 % (w/v) (optimum 1 % NaCl). The predominant components of cellular fatty acids were C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (31.32 %), summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c; 25.39 %) and C16 : 0 (12.03 %). The DNA G+C content of strain L6-8T was 60.4 mol% (T m). nodC and nifH were not amplified in strain L6-8T. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain L6-8T and R. borbori DN316T, R. oryzae Alt505T and R. pseudoryzae J3-A127T was between 11.2 and 18.3 %. Based on the sequence similarity analyses, phenotypic, biochemical and physiological characteristics and DNA–DNA hybridization, strain L6-8T could be readily distinguished from its closest relatives and represents a novel species of the genus Rhizobium , for which the name Rhizobium paknamense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is L6-8T ( = NBRC 109338T = BCC 55142T).

A novel Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, brick red-pigmented bacterium, designated R-22-1 c-1T, was isolated from water from Baiyang Lake, Hebei Province, PR China. The strain was able to grow at 20–30 °C (optimum, 30 °C) and pH 6–7 (optimum, pH 6) in Reasoner’s 2A medium. 16S rRNA gene sequence and phylogenetic analyses of R-22-1 c-1T revealed closest relationships to Rufibacter immobilis MCC P1T (97.8 %), Rufibacter sediminis H-1T (97.9 %) and Rufibacter glacialis MDT1-10-3T (97.0 %), with other species of the genus Rufibacter showing less than 97.0 % sequence similarity. The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids and three unidentified lipids. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, C15 : 1  ω6c, C17 : 1  ω6c, anteiso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c) and summed feature 4 (iso-C17 : 1I and/or anteiso-C17 : 1B). The respiratory quinone was MK-7. The draft genome of R-22-1 c-1T was 5.6 Mbp in size, with a G+C content of 50.2 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization relatedness values between strain R-22-1 c-1T and related type strains were R. immobilis MCC P1T (77.2 and 21.8 %), R. sediminis H-1T (81.6 and 21.4 %) and R. tibetensis 1351T (78.5 and 22.9 %). Based on these phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic results, strain R-22-1 c-1T represents a novel species in the genus Rufibacter , for which the name Rufibacter latericius sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R-22-1 c-1T (=CGMCC 1.13570T=KCTC 62781T).

Novel aerobic, restricted facultatively methylotrophic bacteria were isolated from buds of English oak (Quercus robur L.; strain DubT) and northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.; strain KrD). The isolates were Gram-negative, asporogenous, motile short rods that multiplied by binary fisson. They utilized methanol, methylamine and a few polycarbon compounds as carbon and energy sources. Optimal growth occurred at 25 °C and pH 7.5. The dominant phospholipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, diphosphatidylglycerol and phoshatidylglycerol. The major cellular fatty acids of cells were C18 : 1 ω7c, 11-methyl C18 : 1 ω7c and C16 : 0. The major ubiquinone was Q-10. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strains were closely related to the members of the genus Hansschlegelia : Hansschlegelia zhihuaiae S113T(97.5–98.0 %), Hansschlegelia plantiphila S1T (97.4–97.6 %) and Hansschlegelia beijingensis PG04T(97.0–97.2 %). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains DubT and KrD was 99.7 %, and the DNA–DNA hybridization (DDH) result between the strains was 85 %. The ANI and the DDH values between strain DubT and H. zhihuaiae S113T were 80.1 and 21.5  %, respectively. Genome sequencing of the strain DubT revealed a genome size of 3.57 Mbp and a G+C content of 67.0 mol%. Based on the results of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic analyses, it is proposed that the isolates be assigned to the genus Hansschlegelia as Hansschlegelia quercus sp. nov. with the type strain DubT (=VKM B-3284T=CCUG 73648T=JCM 33463T).

A Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, motile bacterial strain, designated 3-2-2T, was isolated from field topsoil collected from a western suburb of Nanyang city, Henan province, China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain 3-2-2T was a member of the genus Bacillus and most closely related to Bacillus fortis R-6514T (98.9 % similarity), Bacillus terrae RA9T (98.0 %) and Bacillus fordii R-7190T (97.7 %). A draft genome sequence determined for strain 3-2-2T revealed a DNA G+C content of 42.2 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between 3-2-2T and the closely related Bacillus species ranged 79.4–84.2 % and 23.4–24.6 %. The major fatty acids of strain 3-2-2T were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C14 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. meso-Diaminopimelic acid was detected in the peptidoglycan. The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified lipid. The results of phylogenetic analyses, in silico genomic comparisons, and chemotaxonomic and phenotypic analyses clearly indicated that strain 3-2-2T represents a novel species within the genus Bacillus , for which the name Bacillus acidinfaciens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 3-2-2T (=CGMCC 1.13685T=LMG 30839T).

Several closely related, thermophilic and cellulolytic bacterial strains, designated JKG1T, JKG2, JKG3, JKG4 and JKG5, were isolated from a cellulolytic enrichment (corn stover) incubated in the water column of Great Boiling Spring, NV. Strain JKG1T had cells of diameter 0.7–0.9 µm and length ~2.0 µm that formed non-branched, multicellular filaments reaching >300 µm. Spores were not formed and dense liquid cultures were red. The temperature range for growth was 45–65 °C, with an optimum of 55 °C. The pH range for growth was pH 5.6–9.0, with an optimum of pH 7.5. JKG1T grew as an aerobic heterotroph, utilizing glucose, sucrose, xylose, arabinose, cellobiose, CM-cellulose, filter paper, microcrystalline cellulose, xylan, starch, Casamino acids, tryptone, peptone, yeast extract, acetate, citrate, lactate, pyruvate and glycerol as sole carbon sources, and was not observed to photosynthesize. The cells stained Gram-negative. Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences placed the new isolates in the class Chloroflexia , but distant from other cultivated members, with the highest sequence identity of 82.5 % to Roseiflexus castenholzii . The major quinone was menaquinone-9; no ubiquinones were detected. The major cellular fatty acids (>5 %) were C18 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C18 : 0, iso-C17 : 0, C16 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and C17 : 0. The peptidoglycan amino acids were alanine, ornithine, glutamic acid, serine and asparagine. Whole-cell sugars included mannose, rhamnose, glucose, galactose, ribose, arabinose and xylose. Morphological, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic results suggest that JKG1T is representative of a new lineage within the class Chloroflexia , which we propose to designate Kallotenue papyrolyticum gen. nov., sp. nov., Kallotenuaceae fam. nov., Kallotenuales ord. nov. The type strain of Kallotenue papyrolyticum gen. nov., sp. nov. is JKG1T ( = DSM 26889T = JCM 19132T).
