During the isolation of bacteria from the Agave L. rhizosphere in northeast Mexico, four strains with similar BOX-PCR patterns were collected. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of all four strains were very similar to each other and that of the type strains of Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34T (98.49 % sequence similarity) and Cupriavidus necator N-1T (98.35 %). The genome of strain ASC-9842T was sequenced and compared to those of other Cupriavidus species. ANIb and ANIm values with the most closely related species were lower than 95%, while the in silico DNA–DNA hybridization values were also much lower than 70 %, consistent with the proposal that they represent a novel species. This conclusion was supported by additional phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses. Therefore, the name Cupriavidus agavae sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain ASC-9842T (=LMG 26414T=CIP 110327T).

A novel actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-Z6T, was isolated from eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) root. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain NEAU-Z6T belonged to the genus Nonomuraea , with highest sequence similarity to Nonomuraea monospora PT 708T (98.83 %), Nonomuraea rosea GW 12687T (98.55 %) and Nonomuraea rhizophila YIM 67092T (98.02 %). Sequence similarities between strain NEAU-Z6T and other species of the genus Nonomuraea ranged from 97.94 % ( Nonomuraea candida HMC10T) to 96.30 % ( Nonomuraea wenchangensis 210417T). Key morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain NEAU-Z6T were congruent with the description of the genus Nonomuraea . The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 64.51 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness and comparative analysis of physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic data allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain NEAU-Z6T from closely related species. Thus, strain NEAU-Z6T represents a novel species of the genus Nonomuraea , for which the name Nonomuraea solani sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-Z6T ( = CGMCC 4.7037T = DSM 45729T).

A novel actinobacterium, strain BC637T, was isolated from a biodeteriogenic biofilm sample collected in 2009 in the Saint Callixstus Roman catacomb. The strain was found to belong to the genus Kribbella by analysis of the 16S rRNA gene. Phylogenetic analysis using the 16S rRNA gene and the gyrB, rpoB, relA, recA and atpD concatenated gene sequences showed that strain BC637T was most closely related to the type strains of Kribbella lupini and Kribbella endophytica . DNA–DNA hybridization experiments confirmed that strain BC637T is a genomic species that is distinct from its closest phylogenetic relatives, K. endophytica DSM 23718T (63 % DNA relatedness) and K. lupini LU14T (63 % DNA relatedness). Physiological comparisons showed that strain BC637T is phenotypically distinct from the type strains of K. endophytica and K. lupini . Thus, strain BC637T represents the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Kribella italica sp. nov. is proposed ( = DSM 28967T = NRRL B-59155T).

A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain Mn1-7T, was isolated from manganese mining soil in Tianjin, China. The closest phylogenetic relatives were Lysinibacillus massiliensis CCUG 49529T (97.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), L. xylanilyticus XDB9T (96.7 %), L. sinduriensis JCM 15800T (96.2 %), L. odysseyi NBRC 100172T (95.9 %) and L. boronitolerans NBRC 103108T (95.4 %) (the type species of the genus). DNA–DNA hybridization values for strain Mn1-7T with the type strains of L. massiliensis and L. sinduriensis were 24.9 and 27.7 %, respectively. The genomic DNA G+C content was 38.4 mol%. The major menaquinone was MK-7 and the major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C14 : 0. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol. The cell-wall peptidoglycan was type A4α (l-Lys–d-Asp), and the predominant cell-wall sugar was xylose. DNA–DNA hybridization results and comparison of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characters between strain Mn1-7T and the phylogenetically most closely related strains revealed that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Lysinibacillus , for which the name Lysinibacillus manganicus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Mn1-7T ( = DSM 26584T = CCTCC AB 2012916T).

An actinobacterial strain designated MMS20-R1-14T was isolated from a riverside soil sample. Colonies on agar plates were orange to strong orange brown in colour, which later became black. The cells grew at 10–40 °C (optimum, 37 °C), pH 5.0–11.0 (pH 8.0) and in the presence of 0–4 % NaCl (1 %). The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain MMS20-R1-14T showed highest similarities to Micromonospora wenchangensis CCTCC AA 2012002T (99.51 %) and Micromonospora rifamycinica AM105T (99.37 %). The orthoANI values between strain MMS20-R1-14T and the two type strains were 95.72 and 90.99 %, and the digital DNA–DNA hybridization values were 63.6 and 40.8 %, respectively, thus confirming the distinction of strain MMS20-R1-14T from its mostly related species. The DNA G+C content of strain MMS20-R1-14T was 72.9 mol%. The strain contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the major cell-wall amino acid, and the characteristic whole-cell sugars were arabinose, xylose, glucose, ribose and rhamnose. The main cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1  ω9c, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0, the diagnostic polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine, and the predominant menaquinones were MK-10(H4) and MK-10(H6), all of which were consistent with those of Micromonospora . Strain MMS20-R1-14T showed antimicrobial activity against a range of bacterial and yeast species. The genome of the strain was found to contain 33 potential biosynthetic gene clusters for secondary metabolites, thus showing a high potential as a producer of bioactive compounds. On the basis of these phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain MMS20-R1-14T merits recognition as representing a novel species of the genus Micromonospora , for which the name Micromonospora humida sp. nov. (type strain=MMS20 R1-14T=KCTC 49541T=JCM 34494T) is proposed.

A psychrotolerant strain, 8H1T, was isolated from soil samples collected in Isla de los Estados, Ushuaia, Argentina. Cells were Gram-negative, aerobic, straight rods, occurring singly or in pairs, non-spore-forming and motile by means of two polar flagella. The isolate was able to grow in the range 4–35 °C, with optimum growth at 28 °C. The predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c), C16 : 0 and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω6c and/or C18 : 1ω7c). The polar lipid pattern of strain 8H1T comprised phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and an unknown phospholipid. Ubiquinone 9 (Q-9) was the predominant lipoquinone. The DNA G+C content was 59.8 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogeny suggested the affiliation of strain 8H1T to the ‘Pseudomonas fluorescens group’, displaying ≥98.5 % sequence similarity to 29 type strains. A multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) study performed by concatenating 16S rRNA, gyrB, rpoD and rpoB gene sequences showed that isolate 8H1T could be discriminated from closely related species of the genus Pseudomonas and placed in the ‘Pseudomonas gessardii subgroup’, including the species with the highest MLSA sequence similarities: Pseudomonas brenneri (96.2 %), P. gessardii (96.1 %), P. proteolytica (96.0 %), P. meridiana (96.0 %) and P. mucidolens (95.4 %). DNA–DNA hybridization analysis between 8H1T and the type strains of these closely related species revealed relatedness values of 27.0, 8.8, 41.2, 39.7 and 46.1 %, respectively. These results, together with differences in several phenotypic features, support the classification of a novel species, for which the name Pseudomonas yamanorum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 8H1T ( = DSM 26522T = CCUG 63249T = LMG 27247T).

A novel obligately anaerobic, thermophilic and formate-utilizing bacterium K32T was isolated from Shengli oilfield of China. Cells were straight rods (0.4–0.8 µm × 2.5–8.0 µm), Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming and slightly motile. Optimum growth occurred with pH of 7 and 0.5 g l–1 NaCl under temperature of 55–60 °C. Nitrate could be reduced into nitrite, syntrophic formate oxidation to methane and carbon dioxide occurred when co-culturing strain K32T and Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus ΔH. The main cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (24.0 %), anteiso-C15 : 0 (21.7 %), C16 : 0 (12.7 %) and C14 : 0 (10.8 %), and the main polar lipid was phosphatidylglycerol. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 46.3 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of K32T shared ≤90.4 % of sequence similarity to closest type strains of Desulfitibacter alkalitolerans , Calderihabitans maritimus and members of the genus Moorella . Based on the phenotypic, biochemical and genotypic characterization, Zhaonella formicivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed with K32T (=CCAM 584T =DSM 107278T=CGMCC1.5297T) as the type strain, which is the first representative of Zhaonellaceae fam. nov. In addition, the order Thermoanaerobacterales and family Peptococcaceae were reclassified, and three novel families in the novel order of Moorellales ord. nov. were also proposed.

Strain MJ31T, a Gram-reaction-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, was isolated from a sludge sample collected at the Daejeon sewage-disposal plant, in South Korea, and characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain MJ31T belonged to the genus Nocardioides , appearing most closely related to Nocardioides dubius KSL-104T (98.6 % sequence similarity), Nocardioides jensenii DSM 20641T (97.6 %), Nocardioides daedukensis MDN22T (97.2 %) and Nocardioides mesophilus MSL-22T (97.0 %). The chemotaxonomic properties of strain MJ31T were consistent with those of the genus Nocardioides : MK-8(H4) was the predominant menaquinone, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and C18 : 1ω9c were the predominant cellular fatty acids, and the cell-wall peptidoglycan was based on ll-2,6-diaminopimelic acid. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain MJ31T was 71.2 mol%. Some differential phenotypic properties and low DNA–DNA relatedness values (<28 %) with the type strains of closely related species indicated that strain MJ31T represents a novel species, for which the name Nocardioides daejeonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MJ31T ( = KCTC 19772T = JCM 16922T).

Strain MUSC 117T was isolated from mangrove soil of the Tanjung Lumpur forest in Pahang, Malaysia. This bacterium was yellowish-white pigmented, Gram-staining-positive, rod–coccus shaped and non-motile. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain MUSC 117T exhibited highest sequence similarity to Sinomonas atrocyanea DSM 20127T (98.0 %), Sinomonas albida LC13T (97.9 %) and Sinomonas soli CW 59T (97.8 %), and lower (<97.6 %) sequence similarity to other species of the genus Sinomonas . DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed a low level of DNA–DNA relatedness (less than 27 %) between strain MUSC 117T and closely related species. Chemotaxonomically, the peptidoglycan type was A3α, containing the amino acids lysine, serine, glycine, alanine, glutamic acid and muramic acid. The whole-cell sugars detected were rhamnose, ribose, glucose, galactose and a smaller amount of mannose. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and five unidentified glycolipids. The major fatty acids (>10.0 %) of the cell membrane were anteiso-C15 : 0 (39.4 %), C18 : 1ω7c (17.7 %), anteiso-C17 : 0 (17.2 %) and iso-C16 : 0 (11.4 %). The predominant respiratory quinones detected were MK-9(H2) and MK-9. The DNA G+C content was 67.3 mol%. A comparison of BOX-PCR fingerprints indicated that strain MUSC 117T represented a unique DNA profile. Results based on a polyphasic approach showed that strain MUSC 117T represents a novel species of the genus Sinomonas , for which the name Sinomonas humi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Sinomonas humi sp. nov. is MUSC 117T ( = DSM 29362T = MCCC 1K00410T = NBRC 110653T).
