One thermophilic bacterium, designated strain SYSU G02662T, was isolated from hot spring sediment sampled in Tibet, PR China. Polyphasic taxonomic analyses and whole-genome sequencing were used to determine the taxonomy position of the strain. Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain SYSU G02662T showed the highest sequence similarity to Actinomarinicola tropica SCSIO 58843T (95.1 %). The strain could be differentiated from other species of the family Iamiaceae by its distinct phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Cells of strain SYSU G02662T were aerobic, Gram-staining-positive and short rodshaped. Growth occurred optimally at 45 °C and pH 7.0. In addition, meso-diaminopimelic acid was the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The respiratory quinone was MK-9 (H8), while the major fatty acids (>10 %) were C16 : 0, C17 : 0, C18 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The detected polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside and phosphatidylinositol. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 70.5 % based on the draft genomic sequence. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic data, strain SYSU G02662T represents a novel species of a novel genus in the family Iamiaceae , for which the name Rhabdothermincola sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the proposed novel species is SYSU G02662T (=CGMCC 4.7688T=KCTC 49500T).

A Gram-negative bacterium, designated DCY13T, was isolated from soil of a ginseng field in South Korea. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DCY13T shared the highest sequence similarity (95.0 %) with Sediminibacterium salmoneum NBRC 103935T and 87.6–91.4 % sequence similarity with other members of the family Chitinophagaceae . Cells were non-spore-forming rods, catalase- and oxidase-positive, motile by gliding and facultatively anaerobic. The only respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7) and the major fatty acids were iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 1 G. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 47.5±1.0 mol%. In addition to phosphatidylethanolamine, the major polar lipids were two unidentified aminophospholipids, one unidentified aminolipid and three unidentified polar lipids. The major cell-wall sugars were ribose, xylose and galactose. It is proposed that strain DCY13T represents a novel species in the genus Sediminibacterium , for which the name Sediminibacterium ginsengisoli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DCY13T ( = KCTC 12833T  = JCM 15794T  = DSM 22335T). Emended descriptions of the genus Sediminibacterium and of Sediminibacterium salmoneum are also proposed.

Red-pigmented strains of non-sporeforming, aerobic, chemoorganotrophic bacteria were isolated from intertidal hot springs in Laugarvík, NW-Iceland. Cells stained Gram-negative and formed pleomorphic rods that often had swollen ends and occurred singly or in filaments. Growth was observed at 40-65 °C (optimum at 60 °C), pH 6-9 (optimum at 6.5–8) and 0.5–5% (optimum at 1–2%) (w/v) NaCl. Strain ISCAR-4553T contained MK-7 as the main respiratory quinone and saturated iso and anteiso branched chains of 17 and 15 carbons as the main cellular fatty acids (83.4%). The G+C content of the DNA is 67.3 mol%. The highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity was with the genus Roseithermus (92.0%) and followed by Rhodothermus , Rubrivirga and Rubricoccus (88–90%). Genome and phenotype comparisons supported the affiliation of the novel isolates and the genus Roseithermus to the family Rhodothermaceae of the phylum Rhodothermaeota . The described isolates are proposed to be classified as representatives of a novel species belonging to a novel genus, with the name Rhodocaloribacter litoris gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is ISCAR-4553T (=DSM 110790T = ATCC TSD-179T).

An orange, rod-shaped, Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic and gliding bacterial strain devoid of flagella, designated strain KYW614T, was isolated from seawater collected from Gwangyang Bay, Republic of Korea. Zeaxanthin was the major carotenoid pigment produced and flexirubin-type pigments were not produced. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain KYW614T belonged to the family Flavobacteriaceae and it was most closely related to Mesoflavibacter zeaxanthinifaciens TD-ZX30T (96.5 %, sequence similarity). The predominant cellular fatty acids of strain KYW614T were iso-C15 : 1 G (10.5 %), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c; 10.0 %), iso-C15 : 0 (9.5 %), C15 : 0 (7.5 %) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (7.4 %). MK-6 was the only isoprenoid quinone and the DNA G+C content was 32.6 mol%. Data from a polyphasic taxonomic study suggested that the isolate represents a novel species in the genus Mesoflavibacter , for which the name Mesoflavibacter aestuarii sp. nov. is proposed.
