Three fast-growing rhizobial strains isolated from effective nodules of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) were characterized using a polyphasic approach. All three strains were assigned to the genus Rhizobium on the basis of the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated atpD-recA genes separated the strains into a distinct lineage represented by WYCCWR 11279T, which showed average nucleotide identity values of 95.40 and 93.61 % with the most similar phylogenetic type strains of Rhizobium sophorae CCBAU 03386T and Rhizobium laguerreae FB TT, respectively. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization relatedness values between WYCCWR 11279T and the closest related type strains were less than 70 %. Therefore, a novel rhizobial species is proposed, Rhizobium changzhiense sp. nov., and strain WYCCWR 11279T (=HAMBI 3709T=LMG 31534T) is designated as the type strain for the novel species.

‘Bacillus macroides’ ATCC 12905T ( = DSM 54T = LMG 18474T), isolated in 1947 from cow dung, was not included in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names and so it lost standing in bacteriological nomenclature. Reinvestigation of the strain, including DNA–DNA relatedness experiments, revealed that ‘Bacillus macroides’ is genomically distinct from its closest relatives Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus , Lysinibacillus boronitolerans and Lysinibacillus fusiformis (as determined by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, with pairwise similarity values of 99.2, 98.8 and 98.5 %, respectively, with the type strains of these species). Further analysis showed that ‘Bacillus macroides’ shares the A4α l-Lys–d-Asp peptidoglycan type with other members of the genus Lysinibacillus and can thus be attributed to this genus. These results, combined with additional phenotypic data, justify the description of strain LMG 18474T ( = DSM 54T = ATCC 12905T) as Lysinibacillus macroides sp. nov., nom. rev.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, pale yellow-coloured, rod-shaped marine bacterium designated strain YJ-S2-02T was isolated from salt flat sediment sampled in Yongyu-do, Republic of Korea. Strain YJ-S2-02T grew at pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0), 10–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C) and with optimum 1 % (w/v) NaCl. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain YJ-S2-02T was closely related to Novosphingobium naphthalenivorans NBRC 102051T (97.8 %) followed by Novosphingobium mathurense SM117T (97.5 %), Novosphingobium indicum H25T (97.3 %), Novosphingobium pentaromativorans US6-1T (96.8 %), Novosphingobium fontis STM-14T (96.6 %), Novosphingobium endophyticum EGI60015T (96.5 %), Novosphingobium naphthae D39T (96.5 %) and Novosphingobium malaysiense MUSC 273T (95.9 %). The average nucleotide identity and estimated DNA–DNA hybridization values between YJ-S2-02T and related type strains were 77.0–77.9 % and 19.1–24.0 %. Strain YJ-S2-02T was characterized as having Q-10 as the predominant respiratory quinone and the principal fatty acids (>10 %) were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω6c/ω7c, 20.7 %), C18 : 3  ω6c (16.3 %) and C17 : 1  ω6c (11.8 %). The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, sphingolipids and two unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain YJ-S2-02T was 65.6 mol%. On the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic evidence presented in this study, YJ-S2-02T should be classified as representing a novel species within the genus Novosphingobium , for which name Novosphingobium aureum is proposed, with the type strain YJ-S2-02T (=KACC 21677T =KCTC 72891T=JCM 33996T).

Five nocardioform isolates from human clinical sources were evaluated. Analysis of the nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene showed 99.9–100 % similarity among the strains. The results of a comparative phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolates belonged to the genus Nocardia . Phenotypic and molecular analyses were performed on the clinical isolates. Traditional phenotypic analyses included morphological, biochemical/physiological, chemotaxonomic and antimicrobial susceptibility profiling. Molecular studies included 1441-bp 16S rRNA and 1246-bp gyrB gene sequence analyses, as well as DNA–DNA hybridizations. Biochemical analysis failed to differentiate the putative novel species from its phylogenetic neighbours; however, molecular studies were able to distinguish the patient strains and confirm them as members of a single species. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, similarity between the isolates and their closest relatives (type strains of Nocardia araoensis , N. arthritidis , N. beijingensis and N. niwae ) was ≤99.3 %. Analysis of partial gyrB gene sequences showed 98–99.7 % relatedness among the isolates. Nocardia lijiangensis and N. xishanensis were the closest related species to the isolates based on gyrB gene sequence analysis, and their type strains showed 95.7 and 95.3 % similarity, respectively, to strain W9988T. Resistance to amikacin and molecular analyses, including DNA–DNA hybridization, distinguished the five patient strains from their phylogenetic neighbours, and the results of this polyphasic study indicated the existence of a novel species of Nocardia , for which we propose the name Nocardia amikacinitolerans sp. nov., with strain W9988T ( = DSM 45539T  = CCUG 59655T) as the type strain.

An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterium (designated strain CC-G9AT), motile by a polar-flagellum, was isolated from a hot spring water sample in Taiwan. Strain CC-G9AT could grow at 20–42 °C, pH 6.0–10.0 and tolerate up to 7 % (w/v) NaCl. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain CC-G9AT showed pairwise sequence similarity to Pseudomonas mendocina LMG 1223T (97.7 %), Pseudomonas alcaligenes ATCC 14909T (97.8 %), Pseudomonas alcaliphila DSM 17744T (97.8 %), Pseudomonas toyotomiensis JCM 15604T (97.6 %), Pseudomonas oleovorans subsp. lubricantis DSM 21016T (97.6 %) and Pseudomonas argentinensis BCRC 17807T (97.5 %), and lower sequence similarity to other species of the genus Pseudomonas . According to DNA–DNA association analysis, the relatedness of strain CC-G9AT to P. mendocina BCRC 10458T, P. alcaliphila DSM 17744T, P. alcaligenes BCRC 11893T, P. oleovorans subsp. lubricantis DSM 21016T, P. argentinensis BCRC 17807T and P. oleovorans subsp. oleovorans BCRC 11902 was 55.1±3.1, 13.7±1.5, 14.1±1.8, 58.5±1.1, 28.9±2.0 and 28.6±1.8 %, respectively. The evolutionary trees reconstructed based on 16S rRNA, gyrB and rpoB gene sequences revealed varying phylogenetic neighbourhoods of strain CC-G9AT with regard to the most closely related type strains. The predominant quinone system was ubiquinone (Q-9) and the DNA G+C content was 64.3±1.3 mol%. The major fatty acids were C10 : 0 3-OH, C12 : 0, C12 : 0 3-OH, C16 : 0 and summed features 3 and 8 consisting of C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c and C18 : 1ω7c/C18 : 1ω6c, respectively. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. According to distinct phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features, strain CC-G9AT is proposed to represent a novel species within the genus Pseudomonas for which the name Pseudomonas guguanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-G9AT ( = BCRC 80438T = JCM 18416T).

Strain AIST, an aerobic halophilic, Gram-reaction-negative, heterotrophic bacterium isolated from the water of Shira Lake in Khakasia, southern Siberia, was characterized using a polyphasic approach. Our analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that ‘Aliidiomarina haloalkalitolerans’, ‘Aliidiomarina sanyensis’, Idiomarina maris and AIST formed a distinct lineage. The sequence similarities between AIST and the type strains of species of the genera Idiomarina and Aliidiomarina were 91.6–95.1 % and 94.0–96.9 %, respectively. The major isoprenoid quinone of AIST was ubiquinone 8 (Q-8). Predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C17 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 9. The genomic DNA G+C content was 45.8 mol%. It is concluded that AIST represents a novel species of the genus Aliidiomarina , and the name Aliidiomarina shirensis sp. nov. is herein proposed for it. The type strain is AIST ( = JCM 17761T = BCRC 80327T). Based on its fatty acid profile and our phylogenetic analysis, we propose that Idiomarina maris be transferred to the genus Aliidiomarina .

The taxonomic position of two soil actinomycetes, strains A2012T and A2019T, isolated from Turkish soils, was determined using a polyphasic approach. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the strains belonged to the family Nocardiaceae . Strains A2012T and A2019T were most closely related to Nocardia caishijiensis DSM 44831T (98.9 %) and Nocardia mexicana CIP 108295T (98.6 %), respectively; similarity to other type strains of the genus Nocardia ranged from 96.9 to 97.9 %. However, DNA–DNA relatedness and phenotypic data demonstrated that strains A2012T and A2019T could be clearly distinguished from members of the most closely related Nocardia species. It is evident from the genotypic and phenotypic data that the two isolates represent two novel species of the genus Nocardia . It is proposed, therefore, that strains A2012T and A2019T be classified in the genus Nocardia as representatives of Nocardia goodfellowii sp. nov. (type strain A2012T = DSM 45516T = NRRL B-24833T = KCTC 19986T) and Nocardia thraciensis sp. nov. (type strain A2019T = DSM 45517T = NRRL B-24834T = KCTC 19985T), respectively.

A psychrotolerant, Gram-stain-negative, motile, aerobic, peritrichous bacterium, strain DJC1-1T, was isolated from Lake Dajiaco, Tibetan Plateau, China. The strain was negative for citrate utilization, lipase activity and α-glucosidase, but positive for the Voges–Proskauer reaction and N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that Hafnia paralvei ATCC 29927T, Hafnia alvei ATCC 13337T, Serratia grimesii DSM 30063T and Serratia plymuthica DSM 4540T were the closest relatives of strain DJC1-1T, with similarities of 97.76, 96.80, 97.71 and 97.58 %, respectively. The DNA G+C content of strain DJC1-1T was 53.9 mol%. The predominant fatty acids were C16 : 0 and C17 : 0 cyclo. Based on these characteristics, strain DJC1-1T can be assigned to the genus Hafnia . In DNA–DNA hybridization tests, strain DJC1-1T shared 50.6, 35.1, 36.5 and 18.1 % DNA–DNA relatedness with the type strains of H. paralvei , H. alvei , S. grimesii and S. plymuthica , respectively. The growth temperature ranged from 0 to 40 °C, with optimum growth at 15 °C. Physiological and biochemical tests differentiated strain DJC1-1T from the type strains of recognized species of the genus Hafnia . Therefore, strain DJC1-1T is identified as representing a novel species of the genus Hafnia, for which the name Hafnia psychrotolerans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DJC1-1T ( = JCM 30077T = CGMCC1.12806T).

A Gram-reaction-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, red-pigmented bacterial strain, designated ZLD-7T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from an arid area in Xinjiang Province in north-west China, and characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain ZLD-7T was a member of the genus Pontibacter in the family Cytophagaceae , with sequence similarities of 93.7–96.2 % to type strains of other Pontibacter species. The only isoprenoid quinone of strain ZLD-7T was MK-7, and its major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 4 (anteiso-C17 : 1 B and/or iso-C17 : 1 I), iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c). The polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminolipid and four unidentified polar lipids. The DNA G+C content was 47.8 mol%. On the basis of the evidence presented, it is proposed that strain ZLD-7T represents a novel species of the genus Pontibacter , for which the name Pontibacter toksunensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ZLD-7T ( = CCTCC AB 208003T = KCTC 23984T). Emended descriptions of Pontibacter roseus and Pontibacter akesuensis are also proposed.

A Gram-staining-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, non-motile bacterium, designated strain KOPRI 21160T, was isolated from Antarctic soil. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain KOPRI 21160T was found to belong to the genus Polaribacter . Sequence similarity between strain KOPRI 21160T and the type strains of species of the genus Polaribacter was 94.2–98.3 %. The nearest phylogenetic neighbours of strain KOPRI 21160T were Polaribacter butkevichii KCTC 12100T (98.3 % similarity) and Polaribacter irgensii KCTC 23136T (97.5 %). DNA–DNA relatedness was 50.6 %, between strain KOPRI 21160T and P. butkevichii KCTC 12100T, and 45.2 % between strain KOPRI 21160T and P. irgensii KCTC 23136T. Strain KOPRI 21160T grew at 4–37 °C and at pH 7.0–8.5. It could hydrolyse DNA, starch and Tweens 20, 40, 60 and 80. Menaquinone-6 (MK-6) was the only respiratory quinone, and iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH and C15 : 1ω6c were the major cellular fatty acids. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content was 30.0 mol%. Based on data from our polyphasic study, the organism is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Polaribacter , for which we propose the name Polaribacter sejongensis sp. nov. The type strain is KOPRI 21160T ( = KCTC 23670T = JCM 18092T). Emended descriptions of the genus Polaribacter , Polaribacter butkevichii Nedashkovskaya et al. 2005 and Polaribacter irgensii Gosink et al. 1998 are also proposed.
