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).

Harbour Seals

A polyphasic taxonomic study was performed on two previously unidentified Arcanobacterium -like Gram-positive strains isolated from harbour seals. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that both bacteria belonged to the genus Arcanobacterium and were most closely related to Arcanobacterium haemolyticum CIP 103370T (98.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), A. canis P6775T (97.4 %), A. phocae DSM 10002T (97.4 %), A. pluranimalium M430/94/2T (95.7 %) and A. hippocoleae CCUG 44697T (95.5 %). The presence of the major menaquinone MK-9(H4) supported the affiliation of the isolates with the genus Arcanobacterium . The polar lipid profile consisted of major amounts of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, an unidentified phospholipid and two unidentified glycolipids. The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C18 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c and summed feature 5 (comprising C18 : 2ω6,9c and/or anteiso-C18 : 0). Physiological and biochemical tests clearly distinguished the isolates from other members of the genus Arcanobacterium . Based on the common origin and various physiological properties comparable to those of A. phocae , it is proposed that the isolates are classified as members of a novel species with the name Arcanobacterium phocisimile sp. nov. The type strain is 2698T ( = LMG 27073T  = CCM 8430T).

A Gram-staining-positive, aerobic organism, isolated from the Red Sea sponge Spheciospongia vagabunda was investigated to determine its taxonomic position. On the basis of results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis strain EG49T was most closely related to Actinokineospora cibodasensis and Actinokineospora baliensis (both 97.3 % similarity) and Actinokineospora diospyrosa and Actinokineospora auranticolor (both 97.0 % similarity). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to all other species of the genus Actinokineospora was <97.0 %. The quinone system of strain EG49T contained the menaquinones MK-9(H4) (47 %), MK-9(H6) (27 %) and MK-9(H2) (15 %) in major amounts. Minor amounts of MK-7(H4) (2 %), MK-9(H0) (1 %), MK-9(H8) (3 %) and MK-10(H4) (3 %) were detected as well in addition to MK-8(H4), MK-8(H6), MK-10(H2) and MK-10(H6) (all <1 %). The diagnostic diamino acid of the peptidoglycan was meso-diaminopimelic acid. In the polar lipid profile, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and hydroxyphosphatidylethanolamine were predominant. Phosphatidylinositol-mannoside, two unidentified phospholipids and two glycoglipids as well as one aminoglycolipid, one aminolipid and one unidentified lipid were found in addition. The fatty acid profile was composed of mainly iso-branched fatty acids: iso-C16 : 0, iso-C14 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 1H. All these findings clearly supported the classification of the strain as representing a member of the genus Actinokineospora . In addition, the results of physiological and biochemical tests also allowed phenotypic differentiation of strain EG49T from the most closely related species of the genus Actinokineospora . Strain EG49T represents a novel species of the genus Actinokineospora , for which we propose the name Actinokineospora spheciospongiae sp. nov., with strain EG49T ( = DSM 45935T = CCM 8480T = LMG 27700T) as the type strain.

The taxonomic position of a novel actinomycete isolated from soil in Fars Province (Iran) was determined using a polyphasic approach. Phenotypic characterization and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of the isolate matched those described for members of the genus Streptomyces . On ISP2 medium, strain HM 1154T produced a dark cream, branched substrate mycelium and Retinaculiaperti aerial hyphae that in some images also appeared spiral and that developed into greyish-white spore chains with a smooth surface. The isolate showed optimal growth at 28 °C and pH 6–9 with 0–4 % (w/v) NaCl. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained ll-diaminopimelic acid as diagnostic diamino acid, ribose and glucose. The main phospholipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, three unknown phospholipids and an unknown aminophospholipid; MK-9(H4) and MK-9(H2) were the predominant menaquinones. The major cellular fatty acids were the branched saturated iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. Strain HM 1154T exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to Streptomyces coerulescens DSM 40146T (99.4 %), Streptomyces varsoviensis DSM 40346T (99.3 %), Streptomyces youssoufiensis DSM 41920T (99.2 %), Streptomyces abikoensis DSM 40831T (99.2 %), Streptomyces rimosus subsp. rimosus DSM 40260T (99.1 %), Streptomyces luteireticuli DSM 40509T (99.1 %), Streptomyces thioluteus DSM 40027T (99.1 %), Streptomyces blastmyceticus DSM 40029T (99.0 %) and Streptomyces hiroshimensis DSM 40037T (99.0 %). DNA–DNA hybridization studies showed relatedness values of 11.0–35.8 % with the closest related species. Based on these results, strain HM 1154T is considered to represent a novel species within the genus Streptomyces , for which the name Streptomyces zagrosensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HM 1154T ( = DSM 42018T = UTMC 1154T = CECT 8305T).
