The taxonomy of the genus Lactobacillus was revised in April 2020 to reclassify species that were originally described as Lactobacillus species into 25 genera that comprise phylogenetically related micro-organisms. The species in these 25 genera also share major metabolic traits and generally have a shared ecology. A total of four comb. nov. names, however, were not considered validly published because the valid publication of the corresponding basonyms was published in later issues of the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology. This communication aims to validly publish the names Apilactobacillus bombintestini, Companilactobacillus suantsaicola , Lactiplantibacillus garii and Levilactobacillus suantsaiihabitans .

Thermomicrobium fosteri Phillips and Perry 1976 was included on the Approved List of Bacterial Names with the type strain designated ATCC 29033. However, this strain is no longer directly listed in the ATCC online catalogue and the only reference to ATCC 29033 is under ATCC 35268, a strain of Thermoleophilum minutum Zarilla and Perry 1986. There currently appears to be no formal documentation in the pages of the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology with regards either the current status of the name Thermomicrobium fosteri Phillips and Perry 1976 or its type strain ATCC 29033.

A Gram-stain-positive, solvent-tolerating, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium that formed terminal endospores was isolated from the organic solvent acetophenone. The strain, designated JC23T, was oxidase- and catalase-positive. The strain grew in the presence of a wide range of organic solvents with partition coefficients (log p values) between 1 and 4, which are exceptionally toxic to micro-organisms. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain JC23T was identified as belonging to the genus Lysinibacillus and was most closely related to Lysinibacillus manganicus Mn1-7T (98.5 % similarity), L. massiliensis 440831T (97.2 %) and L. chungkukjangi 2RL3-2T (96.8 %). DNA–DNA relatedness of strain JC23T with the type strains of the closest species was <39 %. Strain JC23T grew chemo-organoheterotrophically with optimal growth at pH 7 (range pH 6–9) and at 35 °C (range 25–40 °C). The DNA G+C content was 41 mol%. Major cellular fatty acids of strain JC23T were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type was determined to be A4α (l-Lys–d-Asp), which is in agreement with the cell-wall characteristics of the genus Lysinibacillus . The predominant quinone system was MK-7. Polar lipids of strain JC23T included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified glycolipids, β-gentiobiosyldiacylglycerol, two unidentified phospholipids and two unidentified lipids. On the basis of our morphological, physiological, genetic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic analyses, we conclude that strain JC23T should be assigned to a novel species of the genus Lysinibacillus , for which the name Lysinibacillus acetophenoni sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain JC23T ( = CCUG 57911T = KCTC 13605T = NBRC 105754T = DSM 23394T).

Introduction. Tuberculosis (TB) control is a challenge, especially in vulnerable populations, such as prisoners. Hypothesis. In prison houses, the transmission of micro-organisms that cause infectious diseases can occur due to the susceptibility and immune compromise of prisoners, and due to the precarious physical conditions of the prison houses. However, strategies such as monitoring by health professionals, can mitigate the transmission of these micro-organisms, as well as, reduce the number of coinfections and antimicrobials resistance. Aim. This study attempted to analyse the dynamics of transmission and the antimicrobial resistance profile of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains obtained from prisoners and to characterize the epidemiological, clinical and laboratory profiles of prisoners diagnosed with TB. Methodology. A cross-sectional and retrospective study was conducted with sputum samples collected from 228 distinct prisoners who were treated at the Health Unit located in the Regional Penitentiary of Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The antimicrobial resistance profile of the strains was evaluated using the Resazurin Microtiter Assay and the transmission dynamics was investigated using 15-loci MIRU-VNTR. Results. Thirty-five patients (15.4 %) were diagnosed with TB, and when a TB/HIV coinfection was assessed, 8.6 % (3/35) of the patients were positive. In addition, all patients with results available for HBV, HCV, syphilis and diabetes mellitus were negative. Based on the genotypic profile, 55.9 % of the clinical isolates were grouped into five groups. One isolate with mono-resistance to isoniazid and two with mono-resistance to streptomycin were found. Conclusion. The presence of a Health Unit may have influenced the low numbers of TB/HIV, TB/HBV, TB/HCV, TB/syphilis coinfections and TB cases resistant to antimicrobials. Recent M. tuberculosis transmission can be inferred based on the high percentage of formatting of clusters. This situation stresses the need to improve active and passive detection, the screening of individuals for TB upon entrance into prison for early detection, and the implementation of prophylactic measures to reduce M. tuberculosis transmission.

The taxonomic position of three Lactobacillus -like micro-organisms (strains SG293T, SG296 and SG310) isolated from fermented rice grain (Oryza sativa L. subsp. japonica) in Japan was investigated. These heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria were Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming and did not show catalase activity. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain SG293T revealed that the type strains of Lactobacillus malefermentans (98.3 %), Lactobacillus odoratitofui (96.2 %), Lactobacillus similis (96.1 %), Lactobacillus kimchicus (96.1 %), Lactobacillus paracollinoides (95.9 %) and Lactobacillus collinoides (95.7 %) were the closest neighbours. Additional phylogenetic analysis on the basis of pheS and rpoA gene sequences, as well as biochemical and physiological characteristics, indicated that these three strains were members of the genus Lactobacillus and that the novel isolates had a unique taxonomic position. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1ω9c and C19 : 1 cyclo 9,10. Because low DNA–DNA hybridization values among the isolates and Lactobacillus malefermentans JCM 12497T were observed, it is proposed that these unidentified isolates be classified as a novel species of the genus Lactobacillus , Lactobacillus oryzae sp. nov. The type strain is SG293T ( = JCM 18671T = DSM 26518T).

Relationship Of

Bacteria of the genus Paenibacillus are relevant to humans, animals and plants. The species Paenibacillus massiliensis and Paenibacillus panacisoli are Gram-stain-positive and endospore-forming bacilli isolated from a blood culture of a leukemia patient and from soil of a ginseng field, respectively. Comparative analyses of their 16S rRNA genes revealed that the two Paenibacillus species could be synonyms (99.3% sequence identity). In the present study we performed different genomic analyses in order to evaluate the phylogenetic relationship of these micro-organisms. Paenibacillus massiliensis DSM 16942T and P. panacisoli DSM 21345T presented a difference in their G+C content lower than 1 mol%, overall genome relatedness index values higher than the species circumscription thresholds (average nucleotide identity, 95.57 %; genome-wide ANI, =96.51 %; and orthologous ANI, 96.25 %), and a monophyletic grouping pattern in the phylogenies of the 16S rRNA gene and the proteome core. Considering that these strains present differential biochemical capabilities and that their computed digital DNA–DNA hybridization value is lower than the cut-off for bacterial subspecies circumscription, we suggest that each of them form different subspecies of P. massiliensis , Paenibacillus massiliensis subsp. panacisoli subsp. nov. (type strain DSM 21345T) and Paenibacillus massiliensis subsp. massiliensis subsp. nov. (type strain DSM 16942T).

The species name Streptomyces ruanii Kumar and Goodfellow 2008 was published in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology in 2008. It is generally treated as a legitimate and validly published name. However, closer examination of the publication indicates that this name is contrary to the Rules of the Nomenclatural Code dealing with prokaryotes and is both illegitimate and not validly published.

Strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427 were isolated from the caecal content of a chicken and produced butyric, lactic and formic acids as major metabolic end products. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427 were 40.4 and 38.8 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, both strains were most closely related to the generically misclassified Streptococcus pleomorphus ATCC 29734T. Strain LMG 27428T could be distinguished from S. pleomorphus ATCC 29734T based on production of more lactic acid and less formic acid in M2GSC medium, a higher DNA G+C content and the absence of activities of acid phosphatase and leucine, arginine, leucyl glycine, pyroglutamic acid, glycine and histidine arylamidases, while strain LMG 27428 was biochemically indistinguishable from S. pleomorphus ATCC 29734T. The novel genus Faecalicoccus gen. nov. within the family Erysipelotrichaceae is proposed to accommodate strains LMG 27428T and LMG 27427. Strain LMG 27428T ( = DSM 26963T) is the type strain of Faecalicoccus acidiformans sp. nov., and strain LMG 27427 ( = DSM 26962) is a strain of Faecalicoccus pleomorphus comb. nov. (type strain LMG 17756T = ATCC 29734T = DSM 20574T). Furthermore, the nearest phylogenetic neighbours of the genus Faecalicoccus are the generically misclassified Eubacterium cylindroides DSM 3983T (94.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to strain LMG 27428T) and Eubacterium biforme DSM 3989T (92.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to strain LMG 27428T). We present genotypic and phenotypic data that allow the differentiation of each of these taxa and propose to reclassify these generically misnamed species of the genus Eubacterium formally as Faecalitalea cylindroides gen. nov., comb. nov. and Holdemanella biformis gen. nov., comb. nov., respectively. The type strain of Faecalitalea cylindroides is DSM 3983T = ATCC 27803T = JCM 10261T and that of Holdemanella biformis is DSM 3989T = ATCC 27806T = CCUG 28091T.

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, aerobic and pleomorphic bacterium, designated BS-W13T, was isolated from a tidal flat on the South Sea, South Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Strain BS-W13T grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of 1.0–2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Neighbour-joining and maximum-parsimony phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain BS-W13T clustered with the type strain of Seohaeicola saemankumensis , showing the highest sequence similarity (95.96 %) to this strain. Strain BS-W13T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 95.95, 95.91, 95.72 and 95.68 % to the type strains of Sulfitobacter donghicola , Sulfitobacter porphyrae , Sulfitobacter mediterraneus and Roseobacter litoralis , respectively. Strain BS-W13T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1ω7c as the major fatty acid. The polar lipid profile of strain BS-W13T, containing phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminolipid and one unidentified lipid as major components, was distinguishable from those of some phylogenetically related taxa. The DNA G+C content of strain BS-W13T was 58.1 mol%. The phylogenetic data and differential chemotaxonomic and other phenotypic properties revealed that strain BS-W13T constitutes a novel genus and species within family Rhodobacteraceae of the class Alphaproteobacteria , for which the name Pseudoseohaeicola caenipelagi gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BS-W13T ( = KCTC 42349T = CECT 8724T).

A thermophilic, aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, filamentous bacterium, strain PRI-4131T, was isolated from an intertidal hot spring in Isafjardardjup, NW Iceland. The strain grew chemo-organotrophically on various carbohydrates. The temperature range for growth was 40–65 °C (optimum 55 °C), the pH range was pH 6.5–9.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and the NaCl range was 0–3 % (w/v) (optimum 0.5 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain PRI-4131T represented a distinct lineage within the class Caldilineae of the phylum Chloroflexi. The highest levels of sequence similarity, about 91 %, were with Caldilinea aerophila STL-6-O1T and Caldilinea tarbellica D1-25-10-4T. Fermentative growth was not observed for strain PRI-4131T, which, in addition to other characteristics, distinguished it from the two Caldilinea species. Owing to both phylogenetic and phenotypic differences from the described members of the class Caldilineae , we propose to accommodate strain PRI-4131T in a novel species in a new genus, Litorilinea aerophila gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Litorilinea aerophila is PRI-4131T ( = DSM 25763T  = ATCC BAA-2444T).
