Arctic Soil

A yellow-coloured, Gram-stain-negative, non-sporulating, psychrotolerant and motile bacterium, designated AR-3-1T, was isolated from the Arctic soil of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Canada. Strain AR-3-1T could grow at 4–32 °C and pH 5.0– 11.0. Phylogenetic analysis based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain AR-3-1T formed a lineage within the family Sphingomonadaceae and clustered as a member of the genus Sphingobium . The closest members within this genus were Sphingobium cupriresistens CU4T (98.1 % sequence similarity), Sphingobium vermicomposti VC-230T (97.6 %) and Sphingobium lactosutens DS20T (97.5 %). The only respiratory quinone was the ubiquinone Q-10. Spermidine was the predominant polyamine. The principal cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c and/or C18 : 1  ω6c), summed feature 3 (iso-C15  : 0 2-OH and/or C16  : 1 ω7c), C16 : 0 and C14 : 0 2-OH. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, sphingoglycolipid and phosphoglycolipid. The DNA G+C content was 63.1 %. The average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization relatedness values between strain AR-3-1T and its most closely related genus members were ≤89.6 and 39.6 %, respectively. The genome was 5 162 327 bp long, with 83 scaffolds and 4824 protein-coding genes. The genome showed six putative biosynthetic gene clusters responsible for various secondary metabolites. Based on this polyphasic study, strain AR-3-1T represents a novel species within the genus Sphingobium , for which the name Sphingobium psychrophilum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AR-3-1T (=KACC 21613T=NBRC 114604T).

Arctic Soil

A Gram-stain-negative, short rod-shaped, motile (by gliding) bacterial strain, designated A12T, was isolated from tundra soil collected from Ny-Ålesund, in the Arctic region of Norway. The temperature, NaCl and pH ranges for growth were 4–25 °C (optimum, 18 °C), 0–2 % (optimum, 0 %) and pH 6–9 (optimum, pH 7). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the Arctic isolate belonged to the genus Pedobacter and showed highest sequence similarity (94.4 %) to Pedobacter daechungensis KCTC 12637T. The DNA G+C content (38.3 mol%), polar lipid profile, presence of sphingolipid, MK-7 as the only respiratory quinone, and summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH as major fatty acids supported the allocation of strain A12T to the genus Pedobacter as a representative of a novel species, for which the name Pedobacter arcticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is A12T ( = CCTCC AB 2010223T = NRRL B-59457T). Emended descriptions of the genus Pedobacter and of Pedobacter heparinus , Pedobacter daechungensis , Pedobacter terricola , Pedobacter glucosidilyticus and Pedobacter lentus are also given.

A novel Gram-staining-negative, coccoid, non-motile bacterium, designated strain V1-41T, was isolated from a sample of marine sediment collected, at a depth of 200 m, from Kongsfjorden (an inlet on the west coast of Spitsbergen, an island that forms part of the Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic Ocean). The strain formed cream–brown colonies on marine agar. Cells of the novel strain were positive in tests for catalase, oxidase, lysine decarboxylase and ornithine decarboxylase activities but negative for gelatinase and lipase activities. They hydrolysed aesculin, starch and urea, but not casein or DNA. Most of the cellular fatty acids were medium-chain and saturated (37.1 %) or long-chain and unsaturated (27.8 %), with C12 : 0 (37.1 %), C18:1ω7c, and summed features 2 (19.3%) and 3 (24.1%) predominating. The major respiratory quinone was Q-8. The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified aminophospholipids, four unidentified phospholipids and one other unidentified lipid. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the novel strain’s closest known relatives were Oceanisphaera litoralis DSM 15406T (98.5 % sequence similarity) and Oceanisphaera donghaensis BL1T (98.3 %). In DNA–DNA hybridizations, however, the levels of relatedness between strain V1-41T and O. litoralis DSM 15406T and between the novel strain and O. donghaensis DSM 17589T were found to be only 19 % and 29 %, respectively. Based on these low levels of similarity at the DNA–DNA level and the phenotypic and chemotaxonomic differences from O. litoralis DSM 15406T and O. donghaensis DSM 17589T, strain V1-41T represents a novel species of the genus Oceanisphaera for which the name Oceanisphaera arctica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is V1-41T ( = CCUG 58690T = KCTC 23013T = NBRC 106171T).

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and aerobic bacterial strain, named Ery12T, was isolated from the overlying water of the Lau Basin in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. Strain Ery12T showed high 16S rRNA gene sequences similarity to Tsuneonella flava MS1-4T (99.9 %), T. mangrovi MCCC 1K03311T (98.1 %), Altererythrobacter ishigakiensis NBRC 107699T (97.3 %) and exhibited ≤97.0 % sequence similarity with other type strains of species with validly published names. Growth was observed in media with 0–10.0 % NaCl (optimum 0–1.0 %, w/v), pH 5.0–9.5 (optimum 6.0–7.0) and 10–42 °C (optimum 30–37 °C). The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 10 (Q-10). The major cellular fatty acid was summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c and/or C18 : 1  ω6c). The major polar lipids were sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidyglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, three unidentified glycolipids, one unidentified aminoglycolipid and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content was 60.8 %. The ANI and in silico DDH values between strain Ery12T and the type strains of its closely related species were 71.0- 91.8 % and 19.5- 44.6 %, respectively. According to the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genomic data, strain Ery12T represents a novel species of the genus Tsuneonella , for which the name Tsuneonella suprasediminis is proposed. The type strain is Ery12T (=CGMCC 1.16500 T=MCCC 1A04421T=KCTC 62388T). We further propose to reclassify Altererythrobacter rhizovicinus and Altererythrobacter spongiae as Pelagerythrobacter rhizovicinus comb. nov. and Altericroceibacterium spongiae comb. nov., respectively.
