KUDC8001T was isolated from the rhizosperic soil of Elymus tsukushiensis in the Dokdo Islands, Republic of Korea. Strain KUDC8001T was Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped. KUDC8001T was catalase- and oxidase-positive. This strain is capable of growing at 4–37 °C and pH 7.0–8.0 and exhibited optimal growth at 25 °C and pH 7.0. It could be grown in R2A, nutrient agar and ISP2 agar plates. The cell width ranged from 0.7 to 1.0 µm, and length ranged from 2.5 to 5.5 µm. The genomic G+C content was 40.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, revealed that the strain KUDC8001T belongs to the genus Adhaeribacter , which is most closely related to the strain A. pallidiroseus HMF7616T (97.5%). The DNA relatedness of KUDC8001T with the type strains of A. pallidiroseus HMF7616T, A. swui 17 mud1-7T and A. arboris HMF7605T was ≤80.3 % based on average nucleotide identity calculations and ≤86.9 % based on average amino acid identity calculations. In silico DNA–DNA hybridization values of the strain KUDC8001T with the most closely related strains were 22.1, 24.0 and 24.4 %. Based on its phenotypic, phylogenetic, genetic and chemotaxonomic features, the strain KUDC8001T should be considered as a novel species in the genus Adhaeribacter , for which we have proposed the name Adhaeribacter radiodurans sp. nov. The type strain is KUDC8001T (=KCTC 82078T=CGMCC 1.18475T).

A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, and rod-shaped bacterium, strain ETT8T was isolated from a chemostat culture of microalga Ettlia sp. YC001. Optimal growth was with 0–2% NaCl and at 25–37 °C on R2A medium. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene and genome sequence showed that strain ETT8T belongs to the genus Tabrizicola , with the close neighbours being T. sediminis DRYC-M-16T (98.1 %), T. alkalilacus DJCT (97.6 %), T. fusiformis SY72T (96.9 %), T. piscis K13M18T (96.8 %), and T. aquatica RCRI19T (96.5 %). The genomic comparison of strain ETT8T with type species in the genus Tabrizicola was analysed using the genome-to-genome distance calculator (GGDC), average nucleotide identity (ANI), and average amino acid identity (AAI) (values indicated ≤17.7, ≤75.4 and ≤71.9 %, respectively). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain ETT8T was 64.4 %, plus C18 : 1  ω6c and C18 : 0-iso were the major fatty acids and Q-10 the major respiratory quinone. Strain ETT8T contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine aminolipid, and four unidentified lipids as the major polar lipids. Based on the chemotaxonomic, genotypic, and phenotype results, strain ETT8T was recognized as a novel species of the genus Tabrizicola for which the name Tabrizicola algicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ETT8T (=KCTC 72206T=JCM 31893T=MCC 4339T).

A novel strain of a member of the genus Acinetobacter, strain PS-1T, was isolated from the skin of fresh water pufferfish (Tetraodon cutcutia) collected from Mahanadi River, India. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, coccoid and non-motile. The predominant polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phospholipid (PL) and the cell wall sugars were glucose, galactose and ribose. The major cellular fatty acids of PS-1T were C18 : 1ω9c (30.67 %), C16 : 1ω7c (19.54 %), C16 : 0 (15.87 %), C12 : 0 (7.35 %) and C12 : 0 3-OH (6.77 %). The genome size was 3.5 Mbp and the DNA G+C content was 41.97 %. Gene ontology study revealed that the major fraction of genes were associated with biological processes (53.99 %) followed by molecular function (30.42 %) and cellular components (15.58 %). Comparisons of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed 97.94–97.05 % sequence similarity with the closely related type strains of species of the genus Acinetobacter . The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and average amino acid identity (AAI) of PS-1T with reference strains of species of the genus Acinetobacter with validly published names were bellow 95–96 and the corresponding in-silico DNA–DNA hybridization (DDH) values were below 70 %. A phylogenomic tree based on core genome analysis supported these results. Genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of PS-1T indicate that the strain represents a novel species of the genus Acinetobacter and the name Acinetobacter kanungonis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PS-1T (=JCM 34131T=NCIMB 15260T)

Members of the genus Geobacillus within the phylum Firmicutes are Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, endospore-forming, obligate thermophiles. In 2016, the genus Geobacillus was subdivided into two genera based on whole-genome approaches. The new genus, Parageobacillus , comprises five genomospecies. In this study, we recommend the reclassification of two Geobacillus species, Geobacillus galactosidasius and Geobacillus yumthangensis , into the genus Parageobacillus . We have applied whole genome approaches to estimate the phylogenetic relatedness among the 18 Geobacillus and Parageobacillus type strains for which genome sequences are currently publicly available. The phylogenomic metrics AAI (average amino acid identity), ANI (average nucleotide identity) and dDDH (digital DNA–DNA hybridization) denoted that the type strains of G. galactosidasius and G. yumthangensis belong to the genus Parageobacillus . Furthermore, a phylogeny based on comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequences, recN gene sequences and core genes identified from the whole-genome analyses designated that the type strains of G. galactosidasius and G. yumthangensis belong in the genus Parageobacillus . With these findings, we consequently propose that G. galactosidasius and G. yumthangensis should be reclassified as Parageobacillus galactosidasius comb. nov. and Parageobacillus yumthangensis comb. nov.

Taxonomic Approach

A novel bacterial strain, EJ-4T, isolated from stream water collected at Seo-ho in Suwon, Republic of Korea, was characterized based on a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain EJ-4T belonged to the genus Comamonas . The isolate is Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, aerobic, rod-shaped and forms pale yellow colonies on trypticase soy agar. The optimal growth of this strain was observed aerobically at 30 °C, pH 7 and 0.5 % NaCl. The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c; 39.7 %) and C16 : 0 (32.0 %). The G+C content of strain EJ-4T was 58.4mol %. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain EJ-4T and Comamoas testosteroni were 91.8 and 31.2 %, respectively. The major polar lipids detected in the isolate were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-8. Based on the results of polyphasic taxonomic analysis of strain EJ-4T, we describe a novel species of the genus Comamonas , for which the name Comamonas suwonensis sp. nov. has been proposed, with EJ-4T (=KCTC 82074T=JCM 34179T=KEMB 1602-279T) as the type strain.

A comparative taxonomic study of Spiribacter and Halopeptonella species was carried out using a phylogenomic approach based on comparison of the core genome, orthologous average nucleotide identity (OrthoANIu), Genome-to-Genome Distance Calculator (GGDC) and average amino acid identity (AAI). Phylogenomic analysis based on 976 core translated gene sequences obtained from their genomes showed that Spiribacter aquaticus SP30T, S. curvatus UAH-SP71T, S. roseus SSL50T, S. salinus M19-40T and Halopeptonella vilamensis DSM 21056T formed a robust cluster, clearly separated from the remaining species of closely related taxa. AAI between H. vilamensis DSM 21056T and the species of the genus Spiribacter was ≥73.1 %, confirming that all these species belong to the same single genus. On the other hand, S. roseus SSL50T and S. aquaticus SP30T showed percentages of OrthoANIu and digital DNA–DNA hybridization of 98.4 % and 85.3 %, respectively, while these values among those strains and the type strains of the other species of Spiribacter and H. vilamensis DSM 21056T were ≤80.8 and 67.8 %, respectively. Overall, these data show that S. roseus SSL50T and S. aquaticus SP30T constitute a single species and thus that S. aquaticus SP30T should be considered as a later, heterotypic synonym of S. roseus SSL50T based on the rules for priority of names. We propose an emended description of S. roseus , including the features of S. aquaticus . We also propose the reclassification of H. vilamensis as Spiribacter vilamensis comb. nov.

A cream-coloured, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain KSC-6T, was isolated from soil sampled at the Gapcheon River watershed in Daejeon, Republic of Korea. The organism does not require NaCl for growth and grows at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and 10–37 °C (optimum, 25 °C). Phylogenetic trees based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences reveal that strain KSC-6T belongs to the family Chitinophagaceae within the order Chitinophagales and is most closely related to Panacibacter ginsenosidivorans Gsoil 1550T (95.9% similarity). The genomic DNA G+C content was 38.9 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids (>8 %) of strain KCS-6T were iso-C15:0, iso-C15 : 1 G and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 and the predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, five unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified lipids. Based on genome analyses, low digital DNA–DNA hybridization, average nucleotide identity and average amino acid identity values with closely related genera, and differential chemotaxonomic and physiological properties, we suggest that strain KCS-6T represents a novel species in a new genus in the family Chitinophagaceae , for which the name Limnovirga soli gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain KCS-6T=KCCM 43337T=NBRC 114336T) is proposed.

Four strains (JA310T, JA531T, JA447 and JA490) of red to reddish brown pigmented, rod-shaped, motile and budding phototrophic bacteria were isolated from soil and freshwater sediment samples from different geographical regions of India. All strains contained bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the spirilloxanthin series. The major cellular fatty acid of strains JA310T and JA531T was C18 : 1ω7c, the quinone was Q-10 and polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, an aminohopanoid and an unidentified aminolipid. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that all strains clustered with species of the genus Rhodopseudomonas in the class Alphaproteobacteria . Strains JA531T, JA447 and JA490 were genotypically (>80 % related based on DNA–DNA hybridization) and phenotypically closely related to each other and the three strains were distinct from strain JA310T (33 % related). Furthermore, all four strains had less than 48 % relatedness (DNA–DNA hybridization) with type strains of members of the genus Rhodopseudomonas , i.e. Rhodopseudomonas palustris ATCC 17001T, Rhodopseudomonas faecalis JCM 11668T and Rhodopseudomonas rhenobacensis DSM 12706T. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains JA310T and JA531T were 63.8 and 62.4 mol%, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular genetic evidence, it is proposed that strains JA310T ( = NBRC 106083T = KCTC 5839T) and JA531T ( = NBRC 107575T = KCTC 5841T) be classified as the type strains of two novel species of the genus Rhodopseudomonas , Rhodopseudomonas parapalustris sp. nov. and Rhodopseudomonas harwoodiae sp. nov., respectively. In addition, we propose that strain DSM 123T ( = NBRC 100419T) represents a novel species, Rhodopseudomonas pseudopalustris sp. nov., since this strain differs genotypically and phenotypically from R. palustris ATCC 17001T and other members of the genus Rhodopseudomonas . An emended description of R. palustris is also provided.

A Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated Ad2T, was isolated from a marine sponge, Axinella dissimilis, which was collected from a semi-enclosed marine lake in Ireland. Strain Ad2T grew optimally at 24 °C, at pH 7.0 and in the presence of 3 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain Ad2T clustered with members of the genus Pseudovibrio , and showed 97.3–98.2 % sequence similarity to the type strains of recognized Pseudovibrio species. DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain Ad2T and the type strains of other Pseudovibrio species were <27 %. The DNA G+C content of strain Ad2T was 50.5 mol%. The major fatty acid was 18 : 1ω7c. Differences in phenotypic properties, together with phylogenetic and DNA–DNA hybridization analyses, indicated that strain Ad2T represented a novel species of the genus Pseudovibrio . The name Pseudovibrio axinellae sp. nov. is proposed, with Ad2T ( = DSM 24994T = NCIMB 14761T) as the type strain.

Two novel isolates of rapidly growing, Gram-stain-positive, non-chromogenic species of the genus Mycobacterium , strain YIM M13028T from a sediment sample collected from the South China Sea (19° 30.261′ N 111° 0.247′ E) at a depth of 42 m and strain YIM 121001T from a coastal zone sand sample collected in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, were obtained in our laboratory. Their taxonomic positions were determined by a polyphasic approach. Good growth of the two strains was observed at 28 °C and pH 7.0 with 0–2 % NaCl on tryptic soy agar medium. Both strains formed round orange–red colonies, strain YIM M13028T had a rough surface, while YIM 121001T was smooth. Cellular fatty acids, whole-cell protein profiles and TLC analysis of their mycolic acids show significant differences from reference stains. Phenotypic characteristics and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of 16S rRNA gene, hsp65, rpoB and 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences indicated that both strains YIM M13028T and YIM 121001T belong to the genus Mycobacterium . DNA–DNA hybridization values revealed a low relatedness (<70 %) of the two isolates with the type strains Mycobacterium neoaurum DSM 44074T and Mycobacterium hodleri DSM 44183T. The low DNA–DNA hybridization values (40.4±3.5 %) between strains YIM M13028T and YIM 121001T and phenotypic distinctiveness indicated that the two strains were representatives of different novel species of the genus Mycobacterium . The names proposed for these novel species are Mycobacterium sediminis sp. nov. and Mycobacterium arabiense sp. nov., and the type strains are YIM M13028T ( = DSM 45643T = KCTC 19999T) and YIM 121001T ( = DSM 45768T = JCM 18538T), respectively.

Two novel Gram-stain-positive bacteria, designated HR08-7T and HR08-43T, were isolated from a sea sediment sample from Rishiri Island, Hokkaido, Japan, and their taxonomic positions were investigated by a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons revealed that strains HR08-7T and HR08-43T and the members of the genus Demequina formed a monophyletic cluster with similarity range of 95.5–99.0 %. The peptidoglycan type of strains HR08-7T and HR08-43T was A4β. The predominant menaquinone of both strains was demethylmenaquinone DMK-9(H4) and the major fatty acid was anteiso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C contents of strains HR08-7T and HR08-43T were 64.5 and 62.4 mol%, respectively. The results of phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization, along with differences of strains HR08-7T and HR08-43T from the recognized Demequina species in phenotypic characteristics, indicate that the two strains merit classification as representatives of two novel species of the genus Demequina , for which the names Demequina flava sp. nov. and Demequina sediminicola sp. nov. are proposed; the type strains are HR08-7T ( = NBRC 105854T = DSM 24865T) and HR08-43T ( = NBRC 105855T = DSM 24867T), respectively.
