A Gram-stain-negative, short-rod-shaped and pink-pigmented bacterial strain (HB172049T) was isolated from mangrove sediment. Cells grew at 10–45 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and with 0.5–9.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2–5 %). Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the isolate had highest sequence similarities to Pontibacter mucosus DSM 100162T (96.5 %) and Pontibacter korlensis X14-1T (96.5 %). The values of average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization between the isolate and its close neighbours were, respectively, less than 80.1, 81.7 and 23.2 %. Chemotaxonomic analysis indicated that the sole respiratory quinone was MK-7 and the predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 4 and iso-C15 : 0 (42.2 and 24.6 %, respectively). The major polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified glycolipid, one unidentified phospholipid, one unidentified aminophospholipid and two unidentified polar lipids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 52.6 mol%. Based on polyphasic taxonomic characterization, it is proposed that strain HB172049T belongs to the genus Pontibacter and represents a novel species, for which the name Pontibacter mangrovi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HB172049T (=CGMCC 1.16729T=JCM 33333T).

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain SHC163T, which was isolated from the gut of Onchidium reevesii. The bacterium was Gram-stain-negative, oxidase-positive, catalase-negative and rod-shaped. Growth was observed at salinities of 0–4.0 % NaCl and at temperatures of 15–35 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain SHC163T belonged to the genus Jannaschia , with the highest sequence similarity to Jannaschia seosinensis CL-SP26T (97.9%), followed by Jannaschia faecimaris DSM 100420T (97.8 %), Jannaschia rubra CECT 5088T (97.5%) and eight species of the genus Jannaschia (94.7−97.1 %). The average amino acid identity, average nucleotide identity and the digital DNA–DNA hybridization estimate values between strain SHC163T and the type strains of the genus Jannaschia were 64.33−79.78 %, 71.0−78.4 % and 19.2−21.0%, respectively. The principal fatty acids (>5 %) were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c/C18 : 1  ω6c, 56.5 %), C18 : 1  ω7c 11-methyl (23.1 %), C18 : 0 (8.7 %). The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 67.8 mol%. The respiratory quinone was determined to be Q-10 (100 %). The polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid, an unidentified aminolipid and aminophospholipid. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data show that strain SHC163T represents a novel species within the genus Jannaschia , for which the name Jannaschia marina sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain SHC163T (=MCCC 1K04032T=KCTC 72524T).

A novel aerobic bacterial strain, designated MK012T, was isolated from the phycosphere of Microcystis aeruginosa . MK012T appears to be Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped and has yellow pigments. Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA revealed that this bacterium was most closely related to Flavobacterium buctense T7T (=JCM 30750T; 97.5 %), Flavobacterium dankookense ARSA-19T (=KCTC 23179T; 97.5 %) and Flavobacterium macrobrachii an-8T (=DSM 22219T; 97.3 %). The genome size and genomic DNA G+C content of MK012T were estimated at 3.3 Mbp and 37.6 mol%, respectively. The average nucleotide identity (ANI), average amino acid identity (AAI) and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values of MK012T and the members of the genus Flavobacterium were found to be 71.8–78.3 %, 65.1–79.6% and 19.1–21.5 %, respectively. MK012T exhibited oxidase but no catalase activity. The cells grew at 14–36 °C (optimum, 25 °C), pH 5–10 (optimum, pH 7) and 0–0.4 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 % NaCl) in R2A medium. MK012T did not produce flexirubin-type pigments. The predominant cellular fatty acids of MK012T were determined to be iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, and summed feature 9 (10-methyl C16 : 0 and/or iso-C17 : 1ω9c); MK-6 was identified as its only respiratory quinone. Its major polar lipids were determined to be phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, and two unidentified polar lipids. The genotypic and phenotypic characteristics indicate that MK012T (=KACC 21509T=JCM 33879T) represents a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium ; therefore, the name Flavobacterium phycosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-stain-negative and aerobic bacterial strain, designated as JL3514T, was isolated from surface water of the hydrothermal system around Kueishan Island. The isolate formed red colonies and cells were non-flagellated, rod-shaped and contained methanol-soluble pigments. Growth was observed at 10–50 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 5.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and in the presence of 0–9 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2 %). Strain JL3514T was positive for catalase and weakly positive for oxidase. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed highest similarities to species in the family Erythrobacteraceae , namely Croceibacterium atlanticum (96.1 %), Pelagerythrobacter marensis (96.0 %), Tsuneonella rigui (96.0 %) and Altericroceibacterium xinjiangense (96.0 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on core gene sequences revealed that the isolate formed a distinct branch with the related species and it had a lower average amino acid identity value than the suggested threshold for genera boundaries. The major fatty acids (>5 %) were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c and/or C18 : 1  ω6c), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c), C16 : 0, C17 : 1  ω6c, C14 : 0 2-OH and C12 : 0. The dominant polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, glycolipid, two unidentified lipids and one unidentified phospholipid. The main respiratory quinones were ubiquinone-10 (95.7 %) and ubiquinone-9 (4.3 %). The DNA G+C content from the genome was 63.0 mol%. Based on the presented data, we consider strain JL3514T to represent a novel genus of the family Erythrobacteraceae , with the name Pseudopontixanthobacter vadosimaris gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is JL3514T (=KCTC 62623T=MCCC 1K03561T).

A novel Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, yellow bacterium, designated as LB1R16T, was isolated from the Laigu glacier on the Tibetan Plateau, PR China. Strain LB1R16T was catalase-positive, oxidase-negative and grew at 0–28 °C, pH 6.0–8.0 and in the absence of NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain LB1R16T belongs to the family Sphingosinicellaceae but formed an independent lineage. The highest level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities were found to Polymorphobacter arshaanensis DJ1R-1T (95.24 %), Sphingoaurantiacus capsulatus YLT33T (94.78 %) and Sandarakinorhabdus limnophila DSM 17366T (94.67 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was 68.8 mol%. The main cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c/C18 : 1  ω6c), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω7c/C16 : 1  ω6c), C16 : 0 and C12 : 0-OH. The respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, one sphingoglycolipid, one unidentified aminolipid, one unidentified phospholipid and two unidentified polar lipids, which were different from the type strains of Polymorphobacter arshaanensis , Sphingoaurantiacus capsulatus and Sandarakinorhabdus limnophila . Based on a polyphasic approach, a novel species of a new genus, Glacieibacterium frigidum gen. nov., sp. nov., within the family Sphingosinicellaceae is proposed. The type strain is LB1R16T (=CGMCC 1.11941T=NBRC 113873T).
