A novel bacterial strain, S40T, with strong antifungal activity was isolated from the rhizosphere of green potato collected from Zealand, Denmark. Polyphasic analysis with a combined phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic approach was used to characterize S40T. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene and MLSA (concatenated gyrB, rpoD, infB and atpD sequences) showed that strain S40T was affiliated with the genus Serratia and with Serratia plymuthica PRI-2C as the closest related strain [average nucleotide identity (ANI), 99.26 %; DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH), 99.20%]. However, whole genome sequence analyses revealed that S40T and S. plymuthica PRI-2C genomes displayed lower similarities when compared to all other S. plymuthica strains (ANI ≤94.34 %; dDDH ≤57.6 % relatedness). The DNA G+C content of strain S40T was determined to be 55.9 mol%. Cells of the strain were Gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultative anaerobic and displayed growth at 10–37 °C (optimum, 25–30 °C) and at pH 6–9 (optimum, pH 6–7). Major fatty acids were C16 : 0 (27.9 %), summed feature (C16 : 1  ω6c/C16 : 1 ω7c; 18.0 %) and C17 : 0 cyclo (15.1 %). The respiratory quinone was determined to be Q8 (94 %) and MK8 (95 %) and the major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The results of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic analyses support the hypothesis that strain S40T represents a novel species of the genus Serratia , for which the name Serratia inhibens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S40T (=LMG 31467T=NCIMB 15235T). In addition, we propose that S. plymuthica PRI-2C is reclassified and transferred to the species S. inhibens as S. inhibens PRI-2C.

A mixotrophic and acidophilic bacterial strain BGR 140T was isolated from mine tailings in the Harz Mountains near Goslar, Germany. Cells of BGR 140T were Gram-stain-positive, endospore-forming, motile and rod-shaped. BGR 140T grew aerobically at 25–55 °C (optimum 45 °C) and at pH 1.5–5.0 (optimum pH 3.0). The results of analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that BGR 140T was phylogenetically related to different members of the genus Sulfobacillus , and the sequence identities to Sulfobacillus acidophilus DSM 10332T, Sulfobacillus thermotolerans DSM 17362T, and Sulfobacillus benefaciens DSM 19468T were 94.8, 91.8 and 91.6 %, respectively. Its cell wall peptidoglycan is A1γ, composed of meso-diaminopimelic acid. The respiratory quinone is DMK-6. The major polar lipids were determined to be glycolipid, phospholipid and phosphatidylglycerol. The predominant fatty acid is 11-cycloheptanoyl-undecanoate. The genomic DNA G+C content is 58.2 mol%. On the basis of the results of phenotypic and genomic analyses, it is concluded that strain BGR 140T represents a novel species of the genus Sulfobacillus , for which the name Sulfobacillus harzensis sp. nov. is proposed because of its origin. Its type strain is BGR 140T (=DSM 109850T=JCM 39070T).

A Gram-staining-positive, spore-forming, obligately anaerobic, acetogenic bacterium, designated LAM1030T, was isolated from methanogenic consortia enriched from biogas slurry collected from the large-scale anaerobic digester of Modern Farming Corporation in Hebei Province, China. Cells of strain LAM1030T were motile, straight or spiral-rod-shaped. Strain LAM1030T could utilize glucose, fructose, maltose, galactose, lactose, sucrose, cellobiose, mannitol, pyruvate, succinic acid and tryptophan as the sole carbon source. Acetic acid, isovaleric acid and butanoic acid were the main products of glucose fermentation. Sodium sulfite was used as an electron acceptor. Growth of strain LAM1030T was completely inhibited by the addition of ampicillin, tetracycline, gentamicin or erythromycin at a concentration of 20 µg ml−1. The main polar lipids of strain LAM1030T were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, 11 unknown glycolipids and two unknown phospholipids. No respiratory quinone was detected. The major fatty acids of strain LAM1030T were C16 : 0 (21.1 %), C14 : 0 (10.3 %), summed feature 9 (including C16:0 10-methyl and/or iso-C17:1 ω9c) (11.3% ), summed feature 3 (including C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c) (10.6% ) and iso-C15 : 0 (6.6 %). Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain LAM1030T belonged to the genus Clostridium and was most closely related to Clostridium subterminale DSM 6970T, Clostridium thiosulfatireducens DSM 13105T and Clostridium sulfidigenes DSM 18982T, with 97.0, 96.9 and 96.8 % similarity, respectively. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain LAM1030T was 31.2±0.3 mol%. On the basis of its phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characterization, strain LAM1030T is suggested to represent a novel species of the genus Clostridium , for which the name Clostridium huakuii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LAM1030T ( = ACCC 00698T = JCM 19186T).

A Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and non-motile marine bacterium, designated MEBiC09566T was isolated from a sponge collected at Uljin County in the coastal area of the East Sea (36° 55′ N, 129° 25′ E), Korea. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain MEBiC09566T showed the highest similarity with the Kiloniella laminariae LD81T (96.7 %). Growth was observed at 11–31 °C (optimum 25 °C), at pH 6.0–8.5 (optimum pH 7.0) and with 0–6 % (optimum 2.5 %) NaCl. The predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (comprised of C18 : 1ω7c/C18 : 1ω6c) and summed feature 3 (comprised of C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c). The DNA G+C content is 44.6 mol%. The major respiratory quinone is Q-9. Phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified lipid, two unidentified aminophospholipids and one unidentified aminolipid were detected as major polar lipids. On the basis of this polyphasic taxonomic data, it is concluded that strain MEBiC09566T should be classified as representing a novel species in the genus Kiloniella and the name proposed is Kiloniella spongiae sp. nov. The type strain is MEBiC09566T ( = KCCM 43040T = JCM 19930T). Emended descriptions of the genus Kiloniella Wiese et al. 2009 and Kiloniella laminariae are also given.

A novel Gram-stain-negative, light pink-coloured, short rod-shaped, designated strain W17T, was isolated from a meadow soil sample collected from Xinjiang, PR China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain W17T was related most closely to Skermanella rosea M1T (98.72 %) and Skermanella mucosa 8-14-6T (98.44 %). However, strain W17T showed a low level of DNA–DNA relatedness to S. rosea M1T (32.4±2.6 %) and S. mucosa 8-14-6T (33.5±0.1 %). The genome size of the novel strain was 5.87 Mb and the genomic DNA G+C content was 67.27 mol%. The only respiratory quinone of strain W17T was Q-10. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol. phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine were the major polar lipids. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1ω6c and/or C18 : 1ω7c (48.53 %), C16 : 0 (20.88 %) and C18 : 0 (14.92 %). The phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data showed that strain W17T represents a novel species of the genus Skermanella , for which the name Skermanella pratensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is W17T (=GDMCC 1.1392T=KCTC 62434T).

A Gram-stain-positive, coccus-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated CF-49T, was isolated from the cloacal content of a snow finch, which was incidentally captured in a plateau pika burrow on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, PR China. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain CF-49T was closely related to Vagococcus elongatus CCUG 51432T (96.5 % similarity), Vagococcus fluvialis NCFB 2497T (96.0 %) and Vagococcus lutrae CCUG 39187T (95.9 %), whereas the similarity to another isolate (CF-210) was 99.9 %. Strains CF-49T and CF-210 grew optimally at 37 °C and pH 7.0 and in the presence of 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. Acid was produced from N-acetylglucosamine, cellobiose, d-fructose, d-glucose, d-mannose, d-mannitol, maltose, d-ribose and salicin. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type was A4α (l-Lys–d-Asp). The major cellular fatty acids (>10 %) were C16 : 0 (35.6 %), C14 : 0 (17.3 %), C18 : 1 ω9c (16.2 %) and C16 : 1 ω9c (10.6 %). The predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone MK-7 (68.8 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 35.9 mol%. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization of strain CF-49T with V. fluvialis DSM 5731T, V. elongatus CCUG 51432Tand V. lutrae CCUG 39187T resulted in relatedness values of 21.4, 23.3 and 24.6 %, respectively. Based on results from polyphasic analyses, our two isolates are proposed to represent a novel species in the genus Vagococcus , with the name Vagococcus xieshaowenii. The type strain is CF-49T (=CGMCC 1.6436T=GDMCC 1.1588T=JCM 33477T).
