A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, yellow-pigmented, flexirubin-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterial strain, PAMC 28998T, was isolated from a surface sediment sample collected from the Canadian Beaufort Sea. Strain PAMC 28998T grew at 4–37 °C (optimum, 25 °C), at pH 7.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.5) and in the presence of 1.0–10.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain PAMC 28998T belongs to the genus Antarcticibacterium showing the highest sequence similarity (96.8 %) with Antarcticibacterium flavum JB01H24T. The average nucleotide identity and genome-to-genome distance values between PAMC 28998T and the most closely related species ( A. flavum JB01H24T) were 74.1 and 18.5 %, respectively, indicating that strain PAMC 28998T is clearly distinguished from A. flavum . The genomic DNA G+C content calculated from genome sequences was 39.8 %. The major fatty acids (>10 %) were iso-C15 : 0 (19.5 %), anteiso-C15 : 0 (18.0 %), iso-C16 : 0 (11.6 %) and summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c and/or C16:1 ω7c; 11.4 %). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, aminoglycolipid, two unidentified aminolipids, three unidentified phospholipids and four unidentified lipids. The major respiratory quinone was MK-6. Based on the phylogenetic, genomic and phenotypic data presented here, strain PAMC 28998T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Antarcticibacterium , for which the name Antarcticibacterium arcticum sp. nov. is proposed with the strain PAMC 28998T (=KCCM 43316 T=JCM 33514T).

A Gram-stain-negative bacterium, designated XIN-1T, was isolated from a farmland river sludge sample in Suzhou, China. Cells of strain XIN-1T were strictly aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped. Strain XIN-1T grew optimally at pH 7.0 and 28 °C. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain XIN-1T was most closely related to Flavobacterium hauense BX12T (98.2 % sequence similarity), followed by Flavobacterium beibuense F44-8T (96.3 %). The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6 and the major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. The major fatty acids (>5 %) were summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), summed feature 4 (comprising iso-C17 : 1 I and/or anteiso-C17 : 1 B), iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain XIN-1T was 39.8 mol%. Strain XIN-1T showed low DNA–DNA relatedness with F. hauense BX12T (38.7±0.5 %). On the basis of genotypic and phenotypic data, strain XIN-1T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium , for which the name Flavobacterium suzhouense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XIN-1T ( = CCTCC AB 2014200T = KCTC 42107T).

An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative bacterium, designated CLL7-20T, was isolated from a marine sediment sample from offshore of Changyi, Shandong Province, China. Cells of strain CLL7-20T were rod-shaped, motile with one or more polar flagella, and grew optimally at pH 7.0, at 28 °C and with 3 % (w/v) NaCl. The principal fatty acids of strain CLL7-20T were C16 : 0 and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c/C16 : 1 ω6c). The main polar lipids of strain CLL7-20T were phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG) and an unidentified aminolipid (AL). Strain CLL7-20T contained Q-9 as the major respiratory quinone. The G+C content of its genomic DNA was 56.2 mol%. Phylogenetically, strain CLL7-20T branched within the genus Marinobacter , with M. daqiaonensis YCSA40T being its closest phylogenetic relative (96.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), followed by M. sediminum R65T (96.6 %). Average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain CLL7-20T and the closest related reference strains were 73.2% and 19.8 %, respectively. On the basis of its phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, we suggest that strain CLL7-20T (=MCCC 1A14855T=KCTC 72664T) is the type strain of a novel species in the genus Marinobacter , for which the name Marinobacter changyiensis sp. nov. is proposed. Based on the genomic analysis, siderophore genes were found from strain CLL7-20T, which indicate its potential as a promising alternative to chemical fertilizers in iron-limitated environments such as saline soils.

A strictly aerobic, bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) a-containing alphaproteobacterium, designated strain K6T, was isolated from seawater around an aquaculture site in the Uwa Sea in Japan. The novel strain grew optimally at 30 °C at pH 7.0–7.5 and in the presence of 2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. The nonmotile and coccoid or rod-shaped cells formed pink-pigmented colonies on agar plates containing organic compounds. Cells showed an in vivo absorption maximum at 870 nm in the near-infrared region, indicating the presence of BChl a in the light-harvesting 1 complex. The new bacterial strain was Gram-stain-negative and oxidase- and catalase-positive. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain K6T was closely related to species in the genus Litoreibacter . The closest phylogenetic relatives of strain K6T were Litoreibacter ponti GJSW-31T (98.56 % sequence similarity), Litoreibacter janthinus KMM 3842T (97.63 %) and Litoreibacter albidus KMM 3851T (96.88 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 58.26 mol%. The average nucleotide identity value of strain K6T with the type strain of L. ponti was 77.16 % (SD 4.79 %). The digital DNA−DNA hybridization value of strain K6T with the type strain of L. ponti was 19.40 %. The respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. The major cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c, C16 : 0 and 11-methyl C18 : 1 ω7c. The dominant polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol. On the basis of the genetic and phenotypic data obtained in the present study, we propose a new species in the genus Litoreibacter : Litoreibacter roseus sp. nov., whose type strain is K6T (=DSM 110109T=NBRC 114114T). Strain K6T represents the first confirmed species that produces BChl a within the genus Litoreibacter .

A prosthecate bacterial strain, designated G-192T, was isolated from decaying biomass of a haloalkaliphilic cyanobacterium Geitlerinema sp. Z-T0701. The cells were aerobic, Gram-negative, non-endospore-forming and dimorphic, occurring either as sessile bacteria with a characteristic stalk or as motile flagellated cells. The strain utilized a limited range of substrates, mostly peptonaceous, but was able to degrade whole proteins. Growth occurred at 5–46 °C (optimum, 35–40 °C), pH 7.3–10.3 (optimum, pH 8.0–9.0), 0–14 % NaCl (v/w; optimum, 2.0–6.0 %, v/w). The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain G-192T was 66.8%. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain G-192T formed a distinct evolutionary lineage within the family Hyphomonadaceae . Strain G-192T showed the highest 16S rRNA sequence similarity to Glycocaulis profundi ZYF765T (95.2%), Oceanicaulis stylophorae GISW-4T (94.2%) and Marinicauda salina WD6-1T (95.5%). The major cellular fatty acids (>5% of the total) were C18:1 ω9c, C18:0 and 11-methyl-C18:1 ω7c. The major polar lipids were glycolipids and phospholipids. The only respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10 (Q-10). Based on polyphasic results including phylogenomic data, the novel strain could be distinguished from other genera, which suggests that strain G-192T represents a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Alkalicaulis satelles gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is G-192T (=VKM B-3306T=KCTC 72746T). The strain is the first representative of the stalked bacteria associated with a haloalkaliphilic cyanobacterium. Based on phylogenomic indices and phenotypic data, it is proposed to evolve two novel families Maricaulaceae fam. nov. and Robiginitomaculaceae fam. nov. out of the current family Hyphomonadaceae . In addition, it is proposed to place the first two families in the novel order Maricaulales ord. nov. and novel order Hyphomonadales ord. nov. is proposed to accommodate the family Hyphomonadaceae .
