A detailed evaluation of eight bacterial isolates from floral nectar and animal visitors to flowers shows evidence that they represent three novel species in the genus Acinetobacter . Phylogenomic analysis shows the closest relatives of these new isolates are Acinetobacter apis , Acinetobacter boissieri and Acinetobacter nectaris , previously described species associated with floral nectar and bees, but high genome-wide sequence divergence defines these isolates as novel species. Pairwise comparisons of the average nucleotide identity of the new isolates compared to known species is extremely low (<83 %), thus confirming that these samples are representative of three novel Acinetobacter species, for which the names Acinetobacter pollinis sp. nov., Acinetobacter baretiae sp. nov. and Acinetobacter rathckeae sp. nov. are proposed. The respective type strains are SCC477T (=TSD-214T=LMG 31655T), B10AT (=TSD-213T=LMG 31702T) and EC24T (=TSD-215T=LMG 31703T=DSM 111781T).

We previously discovered a symbiotic lactic acid bacterial (LAB) microbiota in the honey stomach of the honeybee Apis mellifera. The microbiota was composed of several phylotypes of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus . 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses and phenotypic and genetic characteristics revealed that the phylotypes isolated represent seven novel species. One grouped with Lactobacillus kunkeei and the others belong to the Lactobacillus buchneri and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subgroups of Lactobacillus . We propose the names Lactobacillus apinorum sp. nov., Lactobacillus mellifer sp. nov., Lactobacillus mellis sp. nov., Lactobacillus melliventris sp. nov., Lactobacillus kimbladii sp. nov., Lactobacillus helsingborgensis sp. nov. and Lactobacillus kullabergensis sp. nov. for these novel species, with the respective type strains being Fhon13NT ( = DSM 26257T = CCUG 63287T), Bin4NT ( = DSM 26254T = CCUG 63291T), Hon2NT ( = DSM 26255T = CCUG 63289T), Hma8NT ( = DSM 26256T = CCUG 63629T), Hma2NT ( = DSM 26263T = CCUG 63633T), Bma5NT ( = DSM 26265T = CCUG 63301T) and Biut2NT ( = DSM 26262T = CCUG 63631T).

A phylogenomic analysis based on 107 single-copy core genes revealed that three strains from sugar-rich environments, i.e. LMG 1728T, LMG 1731 and LMG 22058, represented a single, novel Gluconacetobacter lineage with Gluconacetobacter liquefaciens as nearest validly named neighbour. OrthoANIu and digital DNA–DNA hybridization analyses among these strains and Gluconacetobacter type strains confirmed that the three strains represented a novel Gluconacetobacter species. Biochemical characteristics and MALDI-TOF mass spectra allowed differentiation of this novel species from the type strains of G. liquefaciens and other closely related Gluconacetobacter species. We therefore propose to classify strains LMG 1728T, LMG 1731 and LMG 22058 in the novel species Gluconacetobacter dulcium sp. nov., with LMG 1728T (=CECT 30142T) as the type strain.

Strains LMG 1627T, LMG 1636T and LMG 1637 were all isolated from cider fermentations in the 1940s and 1950s. A recent study based on MALDI-TOF MS and dnaK gene sequence analyses suggested they represented novel Acetobacter species. In the present study, we determined the whole-genome sequences of these strains and analysed their phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics. A phylogenomic analysis based on 107 single-copy core genes revealed that they represented a single Acetobacter lineage with Acetobacter aceti , Acetobacter sicerae , Acetobacter musti and Acetobacter oeni , Acetobacter estunensis and with Acetobacter nitrogenifigens as an outgroup to this cluster. OrthoANIu value and dDDH analyses among these and other Acetobacter type strains confirmed that these three strains represented two novel Acetobacter species, which could be differentiated from other closely related type strains of Acetobacter by different phenotypic tests, such as ketogenesis from glycerol. We therefore propose to classify strain LMG 1627T in the novel species Acetobacter conturbans sp. nov., with LMG 1627T (=NCIMB 8945T) as the type strain, and to classify strains LMG 1636T and LMG 1637 in the novel species Acetobacter fallax sp. nov., with LMG 1636T (=NCIMB 8956T) as the type strain.

As part of a study investigating the spoilage microbiome of modified-atmosphere packaged beef from Germany, four novel strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated and subsequently taxonomically characterized by a polyphasic approach, which revealed that they could not be assigned to known species. The isolates were Gram-staining-positive, coccoid, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, catalase-negative and oxidase-negative. Morphological, physiological and phylogenetic analysis revealed a distinct lineage within the genus Lactococcus , with Lactococcus piscium and Lactococcus plantarum as closest relatives. Results indicated that they represented two different novel species with two strains, (TMW 2.1612T/TMW 2.1613 and TMW 2.1615T/TMW 2.1614), respectively. The two strains of both novel species shared identical 16S rRNA gene sequences but a MLSA allowed their intraspecies differentiation. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of TMW 2.1612T and TMW 2.1615T had a similarity of 99.85 % to each other and a similarity of 99.85 and 99.78 % the most closely related type strain of Lactococcus piscium , respectively. However, the ANIb value between the respective type strains TMW 2.1612T and TMW 2.1615T, and the type strain of Lactococcus piscium was only 94.3 and 92.0 %, respectively, and 92.9 % between TMW 2.1612T and TMW 2.1615T. The in silico DDH estimate value between the respective type strain TMW 2.1612T and TMW 2.1615T and the most closely related type strain of Lactococcus piscium was only 59.9 and 48.9 %, respectively, and 51.1 % between TMW 2.1612T and TMW 2.1615T. Peptidoglycan type of strain TMW 2.1612T is Lys–Thr–Ala and major fatty acids are summed feature 8 and C16 : 0. Peptidoglycan type of strain TMW 2.1615T is Lys–Ala and major fatty acids are C16 : 0, C19 : 0cyclo ω8c and summed feature 8. On the basis of polyphasic evidence, the meat isolates represent two novel species of the genus Lactococcus , for which the names Lactococcus carnosus sp. nov and Lactococcus paracarnosus sp. nov are proposed. The designated respective type strains are TMW 2.1612T (=DSM 111016T =CECT 30115T) and TWM 2.1615T (=DSM 111017T =CECT 30116T).

A comparative taxonomic study of Spiribacter and Halopeptonella species was carried out using a phylogenomic approach based on comparison of the core genome, orthologous average nucleotide identity (OrthoANIu), Genome-to-Genome Distance Calculator (GGDC) and average amino acid identity (AAI). Phylogenomic analysis based on 976 core translated gene sequences obtained from their genomes showed that Spiribacter aquaticus SP30T, S. curvatus UAH-SP71T, S. roseus SSL50T, S. salinus M19-40T and Halopeptonella vilamensis DSM 21056T formed a robust cluster, clearly separated from the remaining species of closely related taxa. AAI between H. vilamensis DSM 21056T and the species of the genus Spiribacter was ≥73.1 %, confirming that all these species belong to the same single genus. On the other hand, S. roseus SSL50T and S. aquaticus SP30T showed percentages of OrthoANIu and digital DNA–DNA hybridization of 98.4 % and 85.3 %, respectively, while these values among those strains and the type strains of the other species of Spiribacter and H. vilamensis DSM 21056T were ≤80.8 and 67.8 %, respectively. Overall, these data show that S. roseus SSL50T and S. aquaticus SP30T constitute a single species and thus that S. aquaticus SP30T should be considered as a later, heterotypic synonym of S. roseus SSL50T based on the rules for priority of names. We propose an emended description of S. roseus , including the features of S. aquaticus . We also propose the reclassification of H. vilamensis as Spiribacter vilamensis comb. nov.

Four strains (JA310T, JA531T, JA447 and JA490) of red to reddish brown pigmented, rod-shaped, motile and budding phototrophic bacteria were isolated from soil and freshwater sediment samples from different geographical regions of India. All strains contained bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the spirilloxanthin series. The major cellular fatty acid of strains JA310T and JA531T was C18 : 1ω7c, the quinone was Q-10 and polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, an aminohopanoid and an unidentified aminolipid. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that all strains clustered with species of the genus Rhodopseudomonas in the class Alphaproteobacteria . Strains JA531T, JA447 and JA490 were genotypically (>80 % related based on DNA–DNA hybridization) and phenotypically closely related to each other and the three strains were distinct from strain JA310T (33 % related). Furthermore, all four strains had less than 48 % relatedness (DNA–DNA hybridization) with type strains of members of the genus Rhodopseudomonas , i.e. Rhodopseudomonas palustris ATCC 17001T, Rhodopseudomonas faecalis JCM 11668T and Rhodopseudomonas rhenobacensis DSM 12706T. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains JA310T and JA531T were 63.8 and 62.4 mol%, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular genetic evidence, it is proposed that strains JA310T ( = NBRC 106083T = KCTC 5839T) and JA531T ( = NBRC 107575T = KCTC 5841T) be classified as the type strains of two novel species of the genus Rhodopseudomonas , Rhodopseudomonas parapalustris sp. nov. and Rhodopseudomonas harwoodiae sp. nov., respectively. In addition, we propose that strain DSM 123T ( = NBRC 100419T) represents a novel species, Rhodopseudomonas pseudopalustris sp. nov., since this strain differs genotypically and phenotypically from R. palustris ATCC 17001T and other members of the genus Rhodopseudomonas . An emended description of R. palustris is also provided.

Two actinomycete strains, BK125T and BK199T, isolated from a hay meadow soil sample were investigated to determine their taxonomic position using a polyphasic approach. The isolates produced greenish-yellow and light green aerial mycelium on oatmeal agar, respectively. They contained anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 0 as the major fatty acids, and MK-9 (H6) and MK-9 (H8) as the predominant isoprenoid quinones. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the isolates formed distinct phyletic lines towards the periphery of the Streptomyces prasinus subclade. Analysis of DNA–DNA relatedness between the two isolates showed that they belonged to different genomic species. The organisms were also distinguished from one another and from type strains of species classified in the S. prasinus subclade using a combination of genotypic and phenotypic properties. On the basis of these data, it is proposed that the isolates be assigned to the genus Streptomyces as Streptomyces chlorus sp. nov. and Streptomyces viridis sp. nov. with isolates BK125T ( = KACC 20902T = CGMCC 4.5798T) and BK199T ( = KACC 21003T = CGMCC 4.6824T) as the respective type strains.

Two novel isolates of rapidly growing, Gram-stain-positive, non-chromogenic species of the genus Mycobacterium , strain YIM M13028T from a sediment sample collected from the South China Sea (19° 30.261′ N 111° 0.247′ E) at a depth of 42 m and strain YIM 121001T from a coastal zone sand sample collected in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, were obtained in our laboratory. Their taxonomic positions were determined by a polyphasic approach. Good growth of the two strains was observed at 28 °C and pH 7.0 with 0–2 % NaCl on tryptic soy agar medium. Both strains formed round orange–red colonies, strain YIM M13028T had a rough surface, while YIM 121001T was smooth. Cellular fatty acids, whole-cell protein profiles and TLC analysis of their mycolic acids show significant differences from reference stains. Phenotypic characteristics and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of 16S rRNA gene, hsp65, rpoB and 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences indicated that both strains YIM M13028T and YIM 121001T belong to the genus Mycobacterium . DNA–DNA hybridization values revealed a low relatedness (<70 %) of the two isolates with the type strains Mycobacterium neoaurum DSM 44074T and Mycobacterium hodleri DSM 44183T. The low DNA–DNA hybridization values (40.4±3.5 %) between strains YIM M13028T and YIM 121001T and phenotypic distinctiveness indicated that the two strains were representatives of different novel species of the genus Mycobacterium . The names proposed for these novel species are Mycobacterium sediminis sp. nov. and Mycobacterium arabiense sp. nov., and the type strains are YIM M13028T ( = DSM 45643T = KCTC 19999T) and YIM 121001T ( = DSM 45768T = JCM 18538T), respectively.

The taxonomic positions of three streptomycetes isolated from a soil sample from a hay meadow were determined using a polyphasic approach. The isolates had chemical and morphological properties typical of the genus Streptomyces and, in phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, formed a distinct subclade that was most closely related to the Streptomyces prasinus subclade. DNA–DNA relatedness studies showed that the novel strains belonged to three different genomic species. The novel strains could be distinguished from one another and from the type strains of the species classified in the S. prasinus subclade using a combination of genotypic and phenotypic properties. On the basis of these data, it is proposed that the novel strains be assigned to the genus Streptomyces as Streptomyces herbaceus sp. nov., Streptomyces incanus sp. nov. and Streptomyces pratens sp. nov., with BK119T ( = KACC 21001T  = CGMCC 4.5797T), BK128T ( = KACC 21002T  = CGMCC 4.5799T) and BK138T ( = KACC 20904T  = CGMCC 4.5800T) as the respective type strains.

A novel actinobacterial strain, A4029T, isolated from arid soil of Abuja, Nigeria, and provisionally assigned to the genus Actinoplanes , was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies showed that strain A4029T belonged to the genus Actinoplanes , being most closely related to Actinoplanes brasiliensis DSM 43805T (98.9 %) and Actinoplanes deccanensis DSM 43806T (98.0 %); similarity to other type strains of the genus Actinoplanes ranged from 96.2 to 97.9 %. Chemotaxonomic data [major menaquinone MK-9(H4); major polar lipids phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol; characteristic sugars arabinose and xylose; major fatty acids iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, C17 : 1ω9c and iso-C14 : 0] confirmed the affiliation of strain A4029T to the genus Actinoplanes . The results of DNA–DNA hybridizations and phylogenetic analysis, together with phenotypic and biochemical test data, allowed strain A4029T to be differentiated from strains of other Actinoplanes species. Therefore, strain A4029T represents a novel species, for which the name Actinoplanes abujensis sp. nov. is proposed, with A4029T ( = DSM 45518T = NRRL B-24835T = KCTC 19984T) as the type strain.
