A Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, endospore-forming, rod-shaped strain, AGMB 02131T, which grew at 20–40 °C (optimum 30 °C), pH 3.0–11.0 (optimum pH 4.0) and in the presence of 0–18 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 10 %), was isolated from a cow faecal sample and identified as a novel strain using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences along with the whole genome (92 core gene sets) revealed that AGMB 02131T formed a group within the genus Peribacillus , and showed the highest sequence similarity with Peribacillus endoradicis DSM 28131T (96.9 %), following by Peribacillus butanolivorans DSM 18926T (96.6 %). The genome of AGMB 02131T comprised 70 contigs, the chromosome length was 4 038 965 bp and it had a 38.5 % DNA G+C content. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization revealed that AGMB 02131T displayed 21.4 % genomic DNA relatedness with the most closely related strain, P. butanolivorans DSM 18926T. AGMB 02131T contains all of the conserved signature indels that are specific for members of the genus Peribacillus . The major cellular fatty acids (>10 %) of AGMB 02131T were C18 : 1ω9c, C18:0 and C16 : 0. The major polar lipids present were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. On the basis of the phenotypic, phylogenetic, genomic and chemotaxonomic features, AGMB 02131T represents a novel species of the genus Peribacillus , for which the name Peribacillus faecalis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AGMB 02131T (=KCTC 43221T=CCTCC AB 2020077T).

Strain KX18D6T was Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, facultatively anaerobic, motile, oxidase- and catalase-positive, and grew optimally at 30–35 °C, pH 7.0 and in the presence of 3–5 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain KX18D6T grouped with the members of the genus Salinimonas , including Salinimonas chungwhensis BH030046T (97.7 % sequence similarity), Salinimonas lutimaris DPSR-4T (97.2 %) and Salinimonas sediminis N102T (96.4 %). Genome sequencing of strain KX18D6T revealed a genome size of 4.16 Mb and a DNA G+C content of 47.3 mol%. Genomic average nucleotide identity (orthoANI) values of strain KX18D6T with S. chungwhensis DSM 16280T, S. lutimaris KCTC 23464T and S. sediminis N102T were 76.2, 73.1 and 73.2 %, respectively, while the in silico DNA–DNA hybridization (GGDC) values for strain KX18D6T with these strains were 25.3, 17.7 and 18.0 %, respectively. The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c/C16 : 1 ω6c), C16 : 0 and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c/C18 : 1 ω6c). The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 8, and the predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. On the basis of comparative analysis of phylogenetic, phylogenomic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain KX18D6T (=KCTC 72464T=MCCC 1K03884T) is clearly distinguishable from the type strains of species of the genus Salinimonas and is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Salinimonas , for which the name Salinimonas iocasae sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-stain-positive, coccoid-shaped, halophilic bacterium, strain SR-1T, was isolated from a salt crystal obtained from a mine located in Tarija, Bolivia. The strain was investigated using a polyphasic approach. The optimum conditions for growth of strain SR-1T were reached at 5 % (w/v) NaCl, pH 7.6 and 37–40 °C. The peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. The major cellular fatty acids of strain SR-1T were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The DNA G+C content of strain SR-1T was 48.6 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed a close relationship between strain SR-1T and Marinococcus halophilus JCM 2479T (99.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Marinococcus halotolerans KCTC 19045T (99.4 %) and Marinococcus luteus KCTC 13214T (99.8 %). However, strain SR-1T also showed low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness with these reference strains (47, 61 and 58 %, respectively). On the basis of phenotypic differences and DNA–DNA hybridization results, strain SR-1T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Marinococcus , for which the name Marinococcus tarijensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SR-1T ( = LMG 26930T = CECT 8130T).

A Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterium, designated SAP-6T, was isolated from sap extracted from Acer pictum in Mt. Halla in Jeju, Republic of Korea and its precise taxonomic status was determined by a polyphasic approach. Cells were non-sporulating, motile, short rods and showed growth at 4–37 °C, pH 6.0–8.0 and 0–4% NaCl. Phylogenomic analysis based on 92 core gene sequences showed that strain SAP-6T belonged to the family Pectobacteriaceae and formed a distinct clade between members of the genera Sodalis and Biostraticola with gene support index of 89. The closest phylogenetic neighbours were Biostraticola tofi DSM 19580T (97.3% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Sodalis praecaptivus HS1T (96.8%), with the average amino acid identity values of 75.3% and 74.0%, respectively. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified aminophospholipid. The major isoprenoid quinones were Q-7 and Q-8. The predominant fatty acids were C16:0, C17:0 cyclo and summed feature 3. The DNA G+C content was 57.0%. On the basis of data presented here, strain SAP-6T (=KCTC 52622T=DSM 104038T) represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Pectobacteriaceae , for which the name Acerihabitans arboris gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed.

A novel Gram-stain-positive, moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain G8BT, was isolated from water of the hypersaline lake Aran-Bidgol in Iran and characterized taxonomically using a polyphasic approach. Cells of strain G8BT were rod-shaped, motile and produced oval endospores at a terminal position in swollen sporangia. Strain G8BT was strictly aerobic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. The strain was able to grow at NaCl concentrations of 0.5–12.5 % (w/v), with optimum growth occurring at 5–7.5 % (w/v) NaCl. The optimum temperature and pH for growth were 35–40 °C and pH 7.5–8.0, respectively. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain G8BT was shown to belong to the genus Ornithinibacillus within the phylum Firmicutes and showed closest phylogenetic similarity with Ornithinibacillus bavariensis WSBC 24001T (97.6 %). The DNA G+C content of strain G8BT was 36.9 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids of strain G8BT were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0, and its polar lipid pattern consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, four unknown phospholipids and an unknown aminolipid. The isoprenoid quinones were MK-7 (98 %) and MK-8 (2 %). Strain G8BT contained a peptidoglycan of type A4β, l-Orn–d-Asp. All these features confirmed the placement of isolate G8BT within the genus Ornithinibacillus . DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed a low level of relatedness (6 %) between strain G8BT and Ornithinibacillus bavariensis DSM 15681T. On the basis of evidence from this study, a novel species of the genus Ornithinibacillus , Ornithinibacillus halophilus sp. nov., is proposed, with strain G8BT ( = IBRC-M 10683T = KCTC 13822T) as the type strain.

A novel Gram-positive, moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain X4BT, was isolated from soil around the hypersaline lake Aran-Bidgol in Iran and characterized taxonomically using a polyphasic approach. Cells of strain X4BT were motile rods and formed ellipsoidal endospores at a terminal or subterminal position in swollen sporangia. Strain X4BT was a strictly aerobic bacterium, catalase- and oxidase-positive. The strain was able to grow at NaCl concentrations of 0.5–22.5 % (w/v), with optimum growth occurring at 7.5 % (w/v) NaCl. The optimum temperature and pH for growth were 35 °C and pH 7.0. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain X4BT is a member of the family Bacillaceae , constituting a novel phyletic lineage within this family. Highest sequence similarities were obtained with the 16S rRNA gene sequences of the type strains of Sediminibacillus albus (96.0 %), Paraliobacillus ryukyuensis (95.9 %), Paraliobacillus quinghaiensis (95.8 %) and Sediminibacillus halophilus (95.7 %), respectively. The DNA G+C content of this novel isolate was 35.2 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids of strain X4BT were anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0 and its polar lipid pattern consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, two aminolipids, an aminophospholipid and an unknown phospholipid. The isoprenoid quinones were MK-7 (89 %) and MK-6 (11 %). The peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis in combination with chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, strain X4BT represents a novel species in a new genus in the family Bacillaceae , order Bacillales for which the name Saliterribacillus persicus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species (Saliterribacillus persicus) is X4BT ( = IBRC-M 10629T = KCTC 13827T).
