A novel aerobic bacterial strain, designated MK012T, was isolated from the phycosphere of Microcystis aeruginosa . MK012T appears to be Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped and has yellow pigments. Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA revealed that this bacterium was most closely related to Flavobacterium buctense T7T (=JCM 30750T; 97.5 %), Flavobacterium dankookense ARSA-19T (=KCTC 23179T; 97.5 %) and Flavobacterium macrobrachii an-8T (=DSM 22219T; 97.3 %). The genome size and genomic DNA G+C content of MK012T were estimated at 3.3 Mbp and 37.6 mol%, respectively. The average nucleotide identity (ANI), average amino acid identity (AAI) and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values of MK012T and the members of the genus Flavobacterium were found to be 71.8–78.3 %, 65.1–79.6% and 19.1–21.5 %, respectively. MK012T exhibited oxidase but no catalase activity. The cells grew at 14–36 °C (optimum, 25 °C), pH 5–10 (optimum, pH 7) and 0–0.4 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 % NaCl) in R2A medium. MK012T did not produce flexirubin-type pigments. The predominant cellular fatty acids of MK012T were determined to be iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, and summed feature 9 (10-methyl C16 : 0 and/or iso-C17 : 1ω9c); MK-6 was identified as its only respiratory quinone. Its major polar lipids were determined to be phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, and two unidentified polar lipids. The genotypic and phenotypic characteristics indicate that MK012T (=KACC 21509T=JCM 33879T) represents a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium ; therefore, the name Flavobacterium phycosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-stain-negative, short-rod-shaped and pink-pigmented bacterial strain (HB172049T) was isolated from mangrove sediment. Cells grew at 10–45 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and with 0.5–9.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2–5 %). Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the isolate had highest sequence similarities to Pontibacter mucosus DSM 100162T (96.5 %) and Pontibacter korlensis X14-1T (96.5 %). The values of average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization between the isolate and its close neighbours were, respectively, less than 80.1, 81.7 and 23.2 %. Chemotaxonomic analysis indicated that the sole respiratory quinone was MK-7 and the predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 4 and iso-C15 : 0 (42.2 and 24.6 %, respectively). The major polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified glycolipid, one unidentified phospholipid, one unidentified aminophospholipid and two unidentified polar lipids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 52.6 mol%. Based on polyphasic taxonomic characterization, it is proposed that strain HB172049T belongs to the genus Pontibacter and represents a novel species, for which the name Pontibacter mangrovi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HB172049T (=CGMCC 1.16729T=JCM 33333T).

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, coccus-shaped, catalase- and oxidase-positive, facultatively anaerobic and pink-pigmented bacterium, designated strain CQN31T, was isolated from sediment of Changqiaohai Lake, Yunnan Province, China. Growth occurred at 4–45 °C (optimum, 37 °C), at pH 6.5–9.5 (optimum, pH 8.0) and with 0–1 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 %). C18 : 1 ω7c/C18 : 1 ω6c and C16 : 0 were the predominant fatty acids. Phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine (PME) and one unidentified aminolipid (AL) were the major polar lipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 71.5 %. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons indicated that strain CQN31T shared 96.8 % similarity with Roseomonas wooponensis JCM 19527T and 95.9 % with R. terricola EM0302T. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain CQN31T and Roseomonas stagni DSM 19981T, R. rosea DSM 14916T and R. mucosa NCTC 13291T were 21.0, 19.4 and 19.8 %, respectively. Average amino acid identity and average nucleotide identity values between strain CQN31T and R. stagni DSM 19981T, R. rosea DSM 14916T and R. mucosa NCTC 13291T were 73.7, 63.4 and 61.9 %, and 79.2, 77.1 and 77.5%, respectively. Distinct morphological, physiological and genotypic differences from previously described taxa support the classification of strain CQN31T as a representative of a novel species in the genus Roseomonas , for which the name Roseomonas bella sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CQN31T (=KCTC 62447T=MCCC 1H00309T).

The strain Adlercreutzia caecicola DSM 22242T (=CCUG 57646T=NR06T) was taxonomically described in 2013 and named as Parvibacter caecicola Clavel et al. 2013. In 2018, the name of the strain DSM 22242T was changed to Adlercreutzia caecicola (Clavel et al. 2013) Nouioui et al. 2018 due to taxonomic investigations of the closely related genera Adlercreutzia, Asaccharobacter and Enterorhabdus within the phylum Actinobacteria . However, the first whole draft genome of strain DSM 22242T was published by our group in 2019. Therefore, the genome was not available within the study of Nouioui et al. (2018). The results of the polyphasic approach within this study, including phenotypic and biochemical analyses and genome-based taxonomic investigations [genome-wide average nucleotide identity (gANI), alignment fraction (AF), average amino acid identity (AAI), percentage of orthologous conserved proteins (POCP) and genome blast distance phylogeny (GBDP) tree], indicated that the proposed change of the name Parvibacter caecicola to Adlercreutzia caecicola was not correct. Therefore, it is proposed that the correct name of Adlercreutzia caecicola (Clavel et al. 2013) Nouioui et al. 2018 strain DSM 22242T is Parvibacter caecicola Clavel et al. 2013.

Copper Mines

In the course of screening the surface soils of ancient copper mines and smelters (East Harz, Germany) an aerobic, non-motile and halotolerant actinobacterium forming small rods or cocci was isolated. The strain designated F300T developed creamy to yellow colonies on tryptone soy agar and grew optimally at 28 °C, pH 7–8 and with 0.5–2 % (m/v) NaCl. Its peptidoglycan was of type A4α l-Lys–l-Glu (A11.54). The menaquinone profile was dominated by MK-8(II, III-H4) and contained minor amounts of MK-8(H2), MK-8(H6) and MK-9(H4). The polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, mono and diacylated phosphatidylinositol dimannosides, and components that were not fully characterized, including two phospholipids, two glycolipids and an uncharacterized lipid. Major whole-cell sugars were rhamnose and ribose. The fatty acid profile contained mainly iso and anteiso branched fatty acids (anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C14 : 0) and aldehydes/dimethylacetals (i.e. not fatty acids). Sequence analysis of its genomic DNA and subsequent analysis of the data placed the isolate in the group currently defined by members of the genera Ruania and Haloactinobacterium (family Ruaniaceae , order Micrococcales ) as a sister taxon to the previously described species Haloactinobacterium glacieicola , sharing an average nucleotide identity and average amino acid identity values of 85.3 and 85.7 %, respectively. Genotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses support the view that strain F300T (=DSM 108350T=CIP 111667T) is the type strain of a new genus and new species for which the name Occultella aeris gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. Based on revised chemotaxonomic and additional genome based data, it is necessary to discuss and evaluate the results in the light of the classification and nomenclature of members of the family Ruaniaceae , i.e. the genera Haloactinobacterium and Ruania . Consequently, the reclassification of Haloactinobacterium glacieicola as Occultella glacieicola comb. nov. and Haloactinobacterium album as Ruania alba comb. nov., with an emended description of the genus Ruania are proposed.
