A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped, aerobic bacterial strain, designated HC2T, was isolated from the phycosphere of Haematococcus lacustris NIES 144 culture. Strain HC2T was able to grow at pH 4.5–8.0, at 4–32 °C and in the presence of 0–2 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain HC2T was affiliated to the genus Mucilaginibacter and shared the highest sequence similarity with Mucilaginibacter lappiensis ANJKI2T (98.20 %) and Mucilaginibacter sabulilitoris SMS-12T (98.06 %). Strain HC2T contained summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c) and iso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids (>10.0 %). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminophospholipid, one unidentified phospholipid, two unidentified aminolipids and four unidentified lipids. The respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7). The genomic DNA G+C content was 42.0 %. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics, strain HC2T represents a novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter, for which the name Mucilaginibacter inviolabilis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HC2T (=KCTC 82084T=JCM 34116T).

Two strains (J3-AN59T and J3-N84) of Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped bacteria were isolated from the roots of fresh rice plants. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity results showed that the similarity between strains J3-AN59T and J3-N84 was 100 %. Both strains were phylogenetically related to members of the genus Rhizobium , and they were most closely related to Rhizobium tarimense ACCC 06128T (97.43 %). Similarities in the sequences of housekeeping genes between strains J3-AN59T and J3-N84 and those of recognized species of the genus Rhizobium were less than 90 %. The polar lipid profiles of both strains were predominantly composed of phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and an unknown aminophospholipid. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c) and C16 : 0. The DNA G+C contents of J3-AN59T and J3-N84 were 55.7 and 57.1 mol%, respectively. The DNA–DNA relatedness value between J3-AN59T and J3-N84 was 89 %, and strain J3-AN59T showed 9 % DNA–DNA relatedness to R. tarimense ACCC 06128T, the most closely related strain. Based on this evidence, we found that J3-AN59T and J3-N84 represent a novel species in the genus Rhizobium and we propose the name Rhizobium rhizoryzae sp. nov. The type strain is J3-AN59T ( = ACCC 05916T = KCTC 23652T).

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).

Strain MEBiC09520T, which was isolated from a tidal sediment in Incheon, Korea, is a pale yellow, rod-shaped bacterium, cells of which are 0.4–0.5 µm in width and 1.5–2 µm in length. Strain MEBiC09520T shared 95.17 and 92.57% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Emcibacter nanhaiensis and E. congregatus , respectively. It grew optimally at pH 6.0, at 55 °C and with 2.5–3.5% (w/v) NaCl. Its polar lipid components included phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), an unidentified phospholipid (PL), three unidentified aminolipids (ALs) and two unidentified lipids (L). The fatty acids C16:0, C19:0 cyclo ω8c, C14:0 2-OH and summed feature 8 (C18:1ω7c and/or C18:1ω6c) were predominantly present in its cell wall. Strain MEBiC09520T was thermophilic, while E. nanhaiensis and E. congregatus were mesophilic. Although E. nanhaiensis showed no nitrate reduction activity, MEBiC09520T and E. congregatus showed a positive reaction. These strains differed in carbohydrate utilization. In particular, E. congregatus was able to thrive on various carbohydrate substrates as compared to the other strains. The average nucleotide identity value was 69.92% between strain MEBiC09520T and E. congregatus ZYLT, 70.38% between E. congregatus ZYLT and E. nanhaiensis HTCJW17T, and 72.83% between strain MEBiC09520 and E. nanhaiensis HTCJW17T. Considering these differences, strain MEBiC09520T (=KCCM 43320T=MCCC 1K03920T) is suggested to represent and novel species of a new genus, Luteithermobacter gelatinilyticus gen. nov., sp. nov., and E. congregatus should be reclassified as Paremcibacter congregatus gen. nov., comb. nov.

A novel actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-C151T, was isolated from soil collected from Mount Song and characterized using a polyphasic approach. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain NEAU-C151T belongs to the genus Streptomyces and exhibited 97.5, 97.4 and 97.4 % similarities to Streptomyces lincolnensis NRRL 2936T, Streptomyces coacervatus AS-0823T, and Streptomyces longisporus ISP 5166T, respectively. The assignment of strain NEAU-C151T to the genus Streptomyces was confirmed by chemotaxonomic data: anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, C16 : 1 (ω7c) and anteiso-C17 : 0 as the major cellular fatty acids; whole-cell sugars contained ribose and glucose; phospholipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), unidentified phospholipid (PL), unidentified lipids (L) and phosphatidylinositol mannoside (PIM); the menaquinones were MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6), MK-10(H2) and MK-9(H8). However, multilocus sequence analysis based on five other house-keeping genes (atpD, gyrB, recA, rpoB, and trpB), DNA–DNA relatedness and phenotypic data showed that strain NEAU-C151T could be distinguished from its closest relatives. Consequently, strain NEAU-C151T represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces , for which the name Streptomyces montanus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-C151T (=CGMCC 4.7498T=DSM 107808T).

The taxonomic properties of strain DC2a-G7T, a Gram-negative, ovoid to rod-shaped, gellan gum-lysing bacterium, were examined. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity showed that DC2a-G7T is a member of the phylum Verrucomicrobia and the closest type strain of a species with a validly published name is Verrucomicrobium spinosum DSM 4136T, with a sequence similarity of 91.2 %. In addition to this similarity value lower than 95 %, the absence of prostheca, the orangey-red colony colour and the compositions of the major menaquinones and polar lipids also supported the differentiation of this bacterium from the genus Verrucomicrobium . Here, we propose the name Roseimicrobium gellanilyticum gen. nov., sp. nov. for the isolate. The type strain of Roseimicrobium gellanilyticum is DC2a-G7T ( = NBRC 108606T = DSM 25532T).

Two novel thermophilic bacteria, designated SgZ-9T and SgZ-10T, were isolated from compost. Cells of the two strains were catalase-positive, endospore-forming and Gram-staining-positive rods. Strain SgZ-9T was oxidase-positive and non-motile, and strain SgZ-10T was oxidase-negative and motile. The highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity for both strains SgZ-9T and SgZ-10T was observed with Bacillus fortis (97.5 % and 96.9 %, respectively). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SgZ-9T formed a cluster with B. fortis R-6514T and Bacillus fordii R-7190T, and SgZ-10T formed a cluster with Bacillus farraginis R-6540T. The DNA–DNA pairing studies showed that SgZ-9T displayed 41.6 % and 30.7 % relatedness to the type strains of B. fortis and B. fordii , respectively. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains SgZ-9T and SgZ-10T was 97.2 %, and the level of DNA–DNA relatedness between them was 39.2 %. The DNA G+C content of SgZ-9T and SgZ-10T was 45.3 and 47.9 mol%, respectively. Chemotaxonomic analysis revealed that both strains contained the menaquinone 7 (MK-7) as the predominant respiratory quinone. The major cellular fatty acids (>5 %) were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 in SgZ-9T and iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0 in SgZ-10T. Based on the phenotypic characteristics, chemotaxonomic features, DNA–DNA hybridization with the nearest phylogenetic neighbours and phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, the two strains were determined to be two distinct novel species in the genus Bacillus , and the names proposed are Bacillus composti sp. nov. SgZ-9T ( = CCTCC AB2012109T = KACC 16872T) and Bacillus thermophilus sp. nov. SgZ-10T (CCTCC AB2012110T = KACC 16873T).
