A novel actinobacterium, designated strain NN258T, was isolated from a cave soil sample collected from a karst cave at Khao No-Khao Kaeo, Nakhon Sawan province, Thailand. The morphological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics were consistent with its classification in the genus Nonomuraea . Strain NN258T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values to Nonomuraea candida HMC10T, Nonomuraea mesophila 6K102T, Nonomuraea rubra DSM 43768T, Nonomuraea diastatica KC712T and Nonomuraea helvata IFO 14681T. The strain formed an extensively branched substrate and aerial mycelia. The whole-cell hydrolysates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid, with glucose, madurose, mannose and ribose as the whole-cell sugars. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphotidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine, hydroxy-phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, two unidentified phospholipids, three unidentified sugar-containing phosphoaminolipids, an unidentified glycolipid and two unidentified lipids. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4), with minor amounts of MK-9(H0), MK-9(H2) and MK-9(H6). Major cellular fatty acids (>10%) were iso-C16 : 0 and 10-methyl-C17 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 71.0 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain NN258T and the reference strains were 79.9–80.9 % and 26.1–27.0 %, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic data, strain NN258T represents a novel species of the genus Nonomuraea , for which the name Nonomuraea antri sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NN258T (=TBRC 11478T=NBRC 114269T).

A facultatively alkaliphilic actinomycete strain, designated EGI 80088T, was isolated from a saline-alkali soil sample from Xinjiang province, north-west China, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic characterization. Strain EGI 80088T formed fragmented aerial hyphae and short spore chains, and rod-like spores aggregated at maturity. Whole-cell hydrolysates of the isolate contained ll-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid, and glucosamine, mannose, galactose, glucose and rhamnose as the marker sugars. The major fatty acids identified (>5 %) were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 4 (iso-C17 : 1I/anteiso-C17 : 1B), iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain EGI 80088T was 70.6 mol%. EGI 80088T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to its closest phylogenetic neighbour Haloactinopolyspora alba YIM 93246T (98.5 %). The DNA–DNA relatedness value of the strain EGI 80088T and H. alba YIM 93246T was 59.3±5.2 %. On the basis of morphological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics and DNA–DNA hybridization data, strain EGI 80088T represents a novel species of the genus Haloactinopolyspora , for which the name Haloactinopolyspora alkaliphila sp. nov.

A novel actinobacterium, designated strain NEAU-yn17T, was isolated from a soil sample collected at the wastewater discharge site of a pesticide factory in Harbin, northern China, and characterized using a polyphasic approach. Morphological and chemotaxonomic properties of strain NEAU-yn17T were consistent with the description of the genus Saccharothrix , such as the spore arrangement, the diamino acid of the peptidoglycan, the whole-cell hydrolysates, the predominant menaquinone and the phospholipid profile. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that strain NEAU-yn17T should also be classified in the genus Saccharothrix , with Saccharothrix saharensis DSM 45456T (99.52 % sequence similarity) and Saccharothrix xinjiangensis JCM 12329T (99.04 %) as the nearest phylogenetic relatives. A combination of DNA–DNA hybridization results and some phenotypic characteristics indicated that strain NEAU-yn17T can be distinguished from its closest relatives. Therefore, strain NEAU-yn17T represents a novel species of the genus Saccharothrix , for which the name Saccharothrix carnea sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-yn17T ( = CGMCC 4.7097T = DSM 45878T).

Two bacterial strains (JC167T and JC168) were isolated from a soil sample collected from Mandpam, Tamilnadu, India. Colonies of both strains were orange and cells Gram-stain-positive. Cells were small rods, and formed terminal endospores of ellipsoidal to oval shape. Both strains were positive for catalase, oxidase and hydrolysis of starch/gelatin, and negative for chitin hydrolysis, H2S production, indole production and nitrate reduction activity. Major fatty acids of both strains (>5 %) were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C14 : 0 and C16 : 0 with minor (<5 but >1 %) amounts of iso-C17 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 B/iso-C17 : 0 I and C16 : 1ω11c. Diphosphatydilglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol were the major polar lipids of both strains. Cell wall amino acids were l-alanine, d-alanine, d-glutamic acid and meso-diaminopimelic acid. β-Carotene and five unidentified carotenoids were present in both strains. Mean genomic DNA G+C content was 53.4±1 mol% and the two strains were closely related (mean DNA–DNA hybridization >90 %). 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons of both strains indicated that they represent species of the genus Bacillus within the family Bacillaceae of the phylum Firmicutes . Both strains had a sequence similarity of 97.6 % with Bacillus saliphilus 6AGT and <96.8 % with other members of the genus Bacillus . Sequence similarity between strain JC167T and 168 was 100 %. Strain JC167T showed 25.8±1 % reassociation (based on DNA–DNA hybridization) with B. saliphilus DSM 15402T ( = 6AGT). Distinct morphological, physiological and genotypic differences from previously described taxa support the classification of strain JC167T as a representative of a novel species of the genus Bacillus , for which the name Bacillus luteus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JC167T ( = KCTC 33100T = LMG 27257T).

Two strains of species of the genus Marmoricola , designated KIS18-7T and JOS5-1T, were isolated from soil samples in Korea. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain KIS18-7T showed highest similarities with Marmoricola scoriae Sco-D01T (97.8 %), Marmoricola aequoreus SST-45T (97.6 %) and Marmoricola aurantiacus BC 361T (97.3 %), and strain JOS5-1T had highest sequence similarities with M. aequoreus SST-45T (97.5 %) and Marmoricola bigeumensis MSL-05T (97.3 %). The sequence similarity between KIS18-7T and JOS5-1T was 98.1 %. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these strains grouped with species of the genus Marmoricola . The major fatty acids of strain KIS18-7T were iso-C16 : 0 and C17 : 1ω8c, and C17 : 1ω8c, C18 : 0 10-methyl (TBSA), C18 : 1ω9c, C17 : 0 10-methyl and C16 : 0 2-OH for strain JOS5-1T. Strain KIS18-7T contained the polar lipids, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine, while strain JOS5-1T contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, one unknown aminolipid and two unknown phospholipids. The peptidoglycan of both strains contained ll-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and a single glycine residue as the interpeptide bridge (type A3γ). The major menaquinone of both strains was MK-8(H4). The G+C contents of the DNA of strains KIS18-7T and JOS5-1T were 68.0 mol% and 62.9 mol%, respectively. These data demonstrate that strains KIS18-7T and JOS5-1T are representatives of two novel species of the genus Marmoricola , for which the names Marmoricola solisilvae sp. nov. (type strain KIS18-7T = KACC 17307T = DSM 27140T = NBRC 109601T) and Marmoricola terrae sp. nov. (type strain JOS5-1T = KACC 17308T = DSM 27141T = NBRC 109602T) are proposed.
