A Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic, catalase-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped lactic acid bacterium strain, denoted as NFFJ11T and isolated from total mixed fermentation feed in the Republic of Korea, was characterized through polyphasic approaches, including sequence analyses of the 16S rRNA gene and housekeeping genes (rpoA and pheS), determination of average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization, fatty acid methyl ester analysis, and phenotypic characterization. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA, rpoA and pheS gene sequences revealed that strain NFFJ11T belonged to the genus Companilactobacillus . The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain NFFJ11T exhibited high similarity to Companilactobacillus formosensis S215T (99.66 %), Companilactobacillus farciminis Rv4 naT (99.53 %), Companilactobacillus crustorum LMG 23699T (99.19 %), Companilactobacillus futsaii YM 0097T (99.06 %), Companilactobacillus zhachilii HBUAS52074T (98.86 %) and Companilactobacillus heilongiiangensis S4-3T (98.66 %). However, average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization values for these type strains were in the range of 79.90–92.93 % and 23.80–49.30 %, respectively, which offer evidence that strain NFFJ11T belongs to a novel species of the genus Companilactobacillus . The cell-wall peptidoglycan type was A4α (l-Lys–d-Asp) and the G+C content of the genomic DNA was 35.7 mol%. The main fatty acids of strain NFFJ11T were C18 : 1  ω9c (43.3 %), C16 : 0 (20.1 %) and summed feature 7 (18.3 %; comprising any combination of C19 : 1  ω7c, C19 : 1  ω6c and C19 : 0 cyclo ω10c). Through polyphasic taxonomic analysis, it was observed that strain NFFJ11T represents a novel species belonging to the genus Companilactobacillus , for which the name Companilactobacillus pabuli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NFFJ11T (= KACC 21771T= JCM 34088T).

Two lactic acid-producing, Gram-stain-positive rods were isolated from a microbial mat actively growing in the littoral zone of an Antarctic lake (Forlidas Pond) in the Pensacola mountains and studied using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The isolates were examined by phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene, multilocus sequence analysis of pheS, rpoA and atpA, and biochemical and genotypic characteristics. One strain, designated LMG 26641, belonged to Carnobacterium alterfunditum and the other strain, designated LMG 26642T, could be assigned to a novel species, with Carnobacterium funditum DSM 5970T as its closest phylogenetic neighbour (99.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). Carnobacterium iners sp. nov. could be distinguished biochemically from other members of the genus Carnobacterium by the lack of acid production from carbohydrates. DNA–DNA relatedness confirmed that strain LMG 26642T represented a novel species, for which we propose the name Carnobacterium iners sp. nov. (type strain is LMG 26642T  = CCUG 62000T).

Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains TE26T and K6 belonging to Wautersia numazuensis Kageyama et al. 2005 showed the strains to be deeply intermingled among the species of the genus Cupriavidus . The comparison showed that strain TE26T was closely related to the type strains of Cupriavidus pinatubonensis (99.1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), C. basilensis (98.7 %), C. necator (98.7 %) and C. gilardii (98.0 %). However, DNA–DNA hybridization experiments (less than 20 % relatedness) demonstrated that strain TE26T is different from these Cupriavidus species. A comparative phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analysis (based on fatty acid profiles) in combination with the 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogenetic analysis and the DNA–DNA hybridization results supported the incorporation of Wautersia numazuensis into the genus Cupriavidus as Cupriavidus numazuensis comb. nov.; the type strain is TE26T ( = LMG 26411T  = DSM 15562T  = CIP 108892T).

A novel actinobacterium, strain BC637T, was isolated from a biodeteriogenic biofilm sample collected in 2009 in the Saint Callixstus Roman catacomb. The strain was found to belong to the genus Kribbella by analysis of the 16S rRNA gene. Phylogenetic analysis using the 16S rRNA gene and the gyrB, rpoB, relA, recA and atpD concatenated gene sequences showed that strain BC637T was most closely related to the type strains of Kribbella lupini and Kribbella endophytica . DNA–DNA hybridization experiments confirmed that strain BC637T is a genomic species that is distinct from its closest phylogenetic relatives, K. endophytica DSM 23718T (63 % DNA relatedness) and K. lupini LU14T (63 % DNA relatedness). Physiological comparisons showed that strain BC637T is phenotypically distinct from the type strains of K. endophytica and K. lupini . Thus, strain BC637T represents the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Kribella italica sp. nov. is proposed ( = DSM 28967T = NRRL B-59155T).

A novel actinomycete, strain 44EHWT, was isolated from rhizospheric soil under an Elephant ear plant (Colocasia esculenta) in Bangkok, Thailand. Strain 44EHWT produced long branching hyphae and abundant aerial mycelia with chains of rod-shaped spores. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained galactose, glucose, arabinose, ribose, mannose and rhamnose as diagnostic sugars. meso-Diaminopimelic acid was the diamino acid and glycine, alanine and glutamic acid were present in the cell-wall peptidoglycan with the acyl type of the peptidoglycan being acetyl. Phospholipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine with hydroxy fatty acids and diphosphatidylglycerol, as well as other unknown phospholipids; however, no mycolic acids were detected. The predominant menaquinone observed was MK-9(H4) and major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0 and 2-OH iso-C16 : 0. The G+C content of genomic DNA was 74 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that this isolate was most similar to Actinokineospora enzanensis NBRC 16517T. However, DNA–DNA hybridization revealed a low relatedness between this isolate and A. enzanensis NBRC 16517T, indicating that this isolate represented a novel species in the genus Actinokineospora . On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, phenotypic characteristics and DNA–DNA hybridization data, we propose that strain 44EHWT represents a novel species in the genus Actinokineospora , Actinokineospora bangkokensis. The type strain is 44EHWT ( = BCC 53155T = NBRC 108932T).

Two strains of lactic acid bacteria, designated Hs20B0-1T and Hs30E4-3T, were isolated from the gut of the damp-wood termite Hodotermopsis sjostedti. These strains were characterized genetically and phenotypically. Strain Hs20B0-1T was related to Lactococcus piscium DSM 6634T showing 96.3 and 84.2 % sequence similarity in 16S rRNA gene and rpoB gene sequences, respectively. Strain Hs30E4-3T was related to Lactococcus plantarum DSM 20686T showing 94.8 and 82.2 % sequence similarity in 16S rRNA gene and rpoB gene sequences, respectively. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains Hs20B0-1T and Hs30E4-3T was 95.7 %. Furthermore, genomic comparisons using pairwise average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (DDH) analyses between strain Hs20B0-1T and L. piscium DSM 6634T resulted in values of 73.5 and 20.1 %, respectively. Strain Hs30E4-3T had 72.8 % ANI similarity and 21.3 % DDH similarity to L. plantarum DSM 20686T. Strains Hs20B0-1T and Hs30E4-3T had 75.4 % ANI similarity and 21.1 % DDH similarity to each other. The cell-wall peptidoglycan types of strains Hs20B0-1T and Hs30E4-3T were A4α, Lys-Asp and A3α, Lys–Thr–Ala, respectively. The two strains, Hs20B0-1T and Hs30E4-3T, are distinguishable from each other and other established Lactococcus species phylogenetically and phenotypically. In conclusion, two novel species of the genus Lactococcus are proposed, namely Lactococcus insecticola Hs20B0-1T (=JCM 33485T=DSM 110147T) and Lactococcus hodotermopsidis Hs30E4-3T (=JCM 33486T=DSM 110148T), respectively.

Four novel independent strains of Streptococcus spp. were isolated from faeces of alpaca (SL1232T), cattle (KCJ4950), and from respiratory tract of wild California sea lions (CSL7508T, CSL7591T). The strains were indole-, oxidase- and catalase-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile Gram-positive cocci in short and long chains, facultative anaerobes. The 16S rRNA gene of SL1232T and KCJ4950 shared 99.40–99.60% nucleotide similarity to strains of S. equinus, S. lutetiensis, S. infantarius, and the 16S rRNA gene of CSL7508T and CSL7591T demonstrated 98.72 and 98.92% similarity, respectively, to S. marimammalium . All other known Streptococcus species had the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of ≤95%. The genomes were sequenced for the novel strains. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) analysis for strains SL1232T and KCJ4950, showed the highest similarity to S. equinus, S. lutetiensis, and S. infantarius with 85.21, 87.17, 88.47, 85.54, 87.47 and 88.89%, respectively, and strains CSL7508T and CSL7591T to S. marimammalium with 87.16 and 83.97%, respectively. Results of ANI were confirmed by pairwise digital DNA–DNA hybridization and phylogeny, which also revealed that the strains belong to three novel species of the genus Streptococcus . Phenotypical features of the novel species were in congruence with closely related members of the genus Streptococcus and gave negative reactions with the tested Lancefield serological groups (A-D, F and G). MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry supported identification of the species. Based on these data, we propose three novel species of the genus Streptococcus , for which the name Streptococcus vicugnae sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain SL1232T (=NCTC 14341T=DSM 110741T=CCUG 74371T), Streptococcus zalophi sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain CSL7508T (=NCTC 14410T=DSM 110742T=CCUG 74374T) and Streptococcus pacificus sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain CSL7591T (=NCTC 14455T=DSM 111148T=CCUG 74655T). The genome G+C content is 36.89, 34.85, and 35.34 % and draft genome sizes are 1906993, 1581094 and 1656080 bp for strains SL1232T, CSL7508T, and CSL7591T, respectively.

A methanogenic archaeon, strain HC-2T, was isolated from a deep diatomaceous shale formation. The strain grew on methanol, monomethylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine and dimethylsulphide, but not on acetate, H2/CO2, formate, 2-propanol, 2-butanol or cyclopentanol. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, and coccus-like, 0.9–1.4 µm in diameter, and occurred singly, in pairs, or as aggregates. The strain grew at 10–40 °C (optimum 35 °C), pH 5.9–7.4 (optimum pH 6.6–6.8) and in 0–0.6 M NaCl (optimum 0.1–0.2 M). The genomic DNA G+C content was 41.5 mol% and the 16S rRNA gene sequence was closely related to those of Methanosarcina lacustris DSM 13486T (99.1 %) and Methanosarcina siciliae DSM 3028T (98.3 %). Values for DNA–DNA hybridization with these strains were less than 30 %. The phenotypic and phylogenetic features of HC-2T indicate that it represents a novel species of the genus Methanosarcina , for which the name Methanosarcina subterranea sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HC-2T ( = DSM 22503T = JCM 15540T = NBRC 102578T).

A novel nitrogen-fixing fermentative bacterium, designated as YA01T, was isolated from Nakabusa hot springs in Japan. The short-rod cells of strain YA01T were Gram-positive and non-sporulating. Phylogenetic trees of the 16S rRNA gene sequence and concatenated sequences of 40 single-copy ribosomal genes revealed that strain YA01T belonged to the genus Caldicellulosiruptor and was closely related to Caldicellulosiruptor hydrothermalis 108T, Caldicellulosiruptor bescii DSM 6725T and Caldicellulosiruptor kronotskyensis 2002T. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain YA01T shares less than 98.1 % identity to the known Caldicellulosiruptor species. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 34.8 mol%. Strain YA01T shares low genome-wide average nucleotide identity (90.31–91.10 %), average amino acid identity (91.45–92.10 %) and <70 % digital DNA–DNA hybridization value (41.8–44.2 %) with the three related species of the genus Caldicellulosiruptor . Strain YA01T grew at 50–78 °C (optimum, 70 °C) and at pH 5.0–9.5 (optimum, pH 6.5). Strain YA01T mainly produced acetate by consuming d(+)-glucose as a carbon source. The main cellular fatty acids were iso-C17 : 0 (35.7 %), C16 : 0 (33.3 %), DMA16 : 0 (6.6 %) and iso-C15 : 0 (5.9 %). Based on its distinct phylogenetic position, biochemical and physiological characteristics, and the major cellular fatty acids, strain YA01T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Caldicellulosiruptor for which the name Caldicellulosiruptor diazotrophicus sp. nov. is proposed (type strain YA01T=DSM 112098T=JCM 34253T).

Strain L22-9T, a Gram-stain-negative and rod-shaped bacterium, motile by one polar flagellum, was isolated from cornfield soil in Bijie, Guizhou Province, PR China. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, it was identified as a Pseudomonas species. Multilocus sequence analysis of concatenated 16S rRNA, gyrB, rpoB and rpoD gene sequences showed that strain L22-9T formed a clearly separated branch, located in a cluster together with Pseudomonas brassicacearum LMG 21623T, Pseudomonas kilonensis DSM 13647T and Pseudomonas thivervalensis DSM 13194T. Whole-genome comparisons based on average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) confirmed that strain L22-9T should be classified as a novel species. It was most closely related to P. kilonensis DSM 13647T with ANI and dDDH values of 91.87 and 46.3 %, respectively. Phenotypic features that can distinguish strain L22-9T from P. kilonensis DSM 13647T are the assimilation ability of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, poor activity of arginine dihydrolase and failure to ferment ribose and d-fucose. The predominant cellular fatty acids of strain L22-9T are C16 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω6c and/or C16 : 1 ω7c) and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c). The respiratory quinones consist of Q-9 and Q-8. The polar lipids are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified phosphoglycolipids, two unidentified aminophospholipids and an unidentified glycolipid. Based on the evidence, we conclude that strain L22-9T represents a novel species, for which the name Pseudomonas bijieensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is L22-9T (=CGMCC 1.18528T=LMG 31948T), with a DNA G+C content of 60.85 mol%.

An extremely haloalkaphilic archaeon, strain T26T, belonging to the genus Halostagnicola , was isolated from sediment of the soda lake Bange in the region of Tibet, China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities showed that strain T26T was closely related to Halostagnicola alkaliphila 167-74T (98.4 %), Halostagnicola larsenii XH-48T (97.5 %) and Halostagnicola kamekurae 194-10T (96.8 %). Strain T26T grew optimally in media containing 25 % (w/v) salts, at pH 9.0 and 37 °C in aerobic conditions. Mg2+ was not required for growth. The cells were motile, pleomorphic and Gram-stain-variable. Colonies of this strain were pink pigmented. Hypotonic treatment caused cell lysis. The polar lipids of the isolate consisted of C20C20 and C20C25 derivatives of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester and minor phospholipids components. Glycolipids were not detected, in contrast to the two neutrophilic species of this genus. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain T26T was 60.1 mol% and DNA–DNA hybridization showed a relatedness of 19 and 17 % with Halostagnicola alkaliphila CECT 7631T and Halostagnicola larsenii CECT 7116T, respectively. The comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences, detailed phenotypic characterization, polar lipid profile and DNA–DNA hybridization studies revealed that strain T26T belongs to the genus Halostagnicola , and represents a novel species for which the name Halostagnicola bangensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is T26T ( = CECT 8219T = IBRC-M 10759T = JCM 18750T).
