Type Strains

We studied the taxonomic relationship between Streptomyces cinnamonensis and Streptomyces virginiae . These type strains shared the same 16S rRNA gene sequence. Phylogenomic analysis supported them being closely related. Digital DNA–DNA relatedness and average nucleotide identity using whole genome sequences indicated that the two species represent the same genomospecies. They shared similar phenotypic characteristics and harboured the same set of secondary metabolite-biosynthetic gene clusters for polyketides and nonribosomal peptides in the genomes. Therefore, according to Rule 24b of the Bacteriological Code, S. cinnamonensis Okami 1952, 572AL (Approved Lists 1980) should be reclassified as a later heterotypic synonym of S. virginiae Grundy et al. 1952, 399AL (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Nouioui et al. 2018. Although 16S rRNA gene sequences were identical among type strains of Streptomyces xanthophaeus , Streptomyces spororaveus and Streptomyces nojiriensis and between those of Streptomyces vinaceus and Streptomyces cirratus , respectively, digital DNA–DNA relatedness indicated that these species are not synonymous.

The 16S Rrna Gene

A novel actinobacterium, strain BC637T, was isolated from a biodeteriogenic biofilm sample collected in 2009 in the Saint Callixstus Roman catacomb. The strain was found to belong to the genus Kribbella by analysis of the 16S rRNA gene. Phylogenetic analysis using the 16S rRNA gene and the gyrB, rpoB, relA, recA and atpD concatenated gene sequences showed that strain BC637T was most closely related to the type strains of Kribbella lupini and Kribbella endophytica . DNA–DNA hybridization experiments confirmed that strain BC637T is a genomic species that is distinct from its closest phylogenetic relatives, K. endophytica DSM 23718T (63 % DNA relatedness) and K. lupini LU14T (63 % DNA relatedness). Physiological comparisons showed that strain BC637T is phenotypically distinct from the type strains of K. endophytica and K. lupini . Thus, strain BC637T represents the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Kribella italica sp. nov. is proposed ( = DSM 28967T = NRRL B-59155T).

Comparative phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genetic analysis revealed significant similarities among strains of the genera Tepidiphilus and Petrobacter . Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences and DNA–DNA relatedness of the type strains Tepidiphilus margaritifer N2-214T and Petrobacter succinatimandens 4BONT showed sequence similarity of 98.9 % and less than 40 % relatedness, indicating that these strains represent different species of same genus. Both strains had phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and diphosphatidylglycerol as major polar lipids. Their fatty acid profiles were almost identical, with the predominant fatty acids C16 : 0, C17 : 0 cyclo and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c. In view of this, we propose to transfer the member of the genus Petrobacter to the genus Tepidiphilus as Tepidiphilus succinatimandens comb. nov. and to emend the description of the genus Tepidiphilus . Further, a novel bacterium, strain JHK30T, was isolated from a terrestrial hot spring located at Jharkhand, India, and was identified following a polyphasic approach. Cells were non-sporulating, aerobic, Gram-stain-negative rods and motile by a single polar flagellum. Optimum temperature for growth was 50–55 °C at pH 6.5–7.0. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed 99.71 % similarity with P. succinatimandens 4BONT ( = DSM 15512T) and 98.71 % with T. margaritifer N2-214T ( = DSM 15129T). However, DNA–DNA relatedness of strain JHK30T with these two type strains was well below 70 %. The DNA G+C base composition was 66.1 mol%. Strain JHK30T represents a novel species of the genus Tepidiphilus for which the name Tepidiphilus thermophilus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JHK30T ( = JCM 19170T = LMG 27587T= DSM 27220T).

Two Gram-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped or ovoid bacterial strains with different colony colours (greyish yellow and moderate orange), designated J-MR2-YT and J-MR2-O, were isolated from a tidal flat in the South Sea of South Korea. The two novel strains grew optimally at 35–37 °C. Strains J-MR2-YT and J-MR2-O showed no difference in their 16S rRNA gene sequences, and the mean DNA–DNA relatedness between them was 94 %. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strains J-MR2-YT and J-MR2-O clustered consistently with the type strains of Loktanella soesokkakensis , L. hongkongensis and L. cinnabarina , with which it exhibited 97.83–99.06 % sequence similarity. Sequence similarities to the type strains of the other recognized species of the genus Loktanella were 94.01–96.26 %. Both strains contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone, C18 : 1ω7c as the major fatty acid and phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified glycolipid and one unidentified aminolipid as the major polar lipids. The DNA G+C contents of strains J-MR2-YT and J-MR2-O were 68.1 and 68.4 mol%, respectively, and DNA–DNA relatedness values with the type strains of L. soesokkakensis , L. hongkongensis and L. cinnabarina were 19–37 %. Differential phenotypic properties, together with their phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that the two novel strains are separated from other species of the genus Loktanella . On the basis of the data presented, strains J-MR2-YT and J-MR2-O are proposed to represent a novel species of the genus Loktanella , for which the name Loktanella variabilis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is J-MR2-YT ( = KCTC 42074T = CECT 8572T).

Parvularcula flava was proposed as a novel member of genus Parvularcula in 2016. Some time earlier, Aquisalinus flavus has been proposed as a novel species of a novel genus named Aquisalinus . When comparing the 16S rRNA gene sequences of type strains P. flava NH6-79T and A. flavus D11M-2T, they showed 97.9 % sequence identity, much higher than the sequence identities 92.7–94.3 % between P. flava NH6-79T and type strains in the genus Parvularcula , indicating that the later proposed novel taxon Parvularcula flava need reclassification. The phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and genome sequences both showed that P. flava NH6-79T and A. flavus D11M-2T formed a separated branch away from strains in the genera Parvularcula , Marinicaulis and Amphiplicatus . The average amino acid identity and average nucleotide identity values of P. flava NH6-79T and A. flavus D11M-2T were 87.9 and 85.0 %, respectively, much higher than the values between P. flava NH6-79T and other closely related type strains (54.3 %–58.1 % and 68.6–70.4 %, respectively). P. flava NH6-79T and A. flavus D11M-2T also contained summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω6c and/or C18 : 1  ω7c) and C16 : 0 as major fatty acids, distinguishing them from other closely related taxa. Based on the results of the phylogenetic, comparative genomic and phenotypic analyses, Parvularcula flava should be reclassified as Aquisalinus luteolus nom. nov. and the description of genus Aquisalinus is emended.

A Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated, non-gliding and pleomorphic bacterial strain, designated DPG-25T, was isolated from seawater in a seaweed farm in the South Sea in Korea and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Strain DPG-25T grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 7.0–7.5 and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Flexirubin-type pigments were not produced. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain DPG-25T formed a cluster with the type strains of Actibacter sediminis , Aestuariicola saemankumensis and Lutimonas vermicola . Strain DPG-25T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 95.3, 93.1 and 93.6 % to the type strains of Actibacter sediminis , Aestuariicola saemankumensis and L. vermicola , respectively. Strain DPG-25T contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids detected in strain DPG-25T were phosphatidylethanolamine and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content was 39.9 mol%. Differential phenotypic properties and the phylogenetic distinctiveness of strain DPG-25T demonstrated that this strain is distinguishable from Actibacter sediminis , Aestuariicola saemankumensis and L. vermicola . On the basis of the data presented here, strain DPG-25T represents a novel species in a novel genus of the family Flavobacteriaceae , for which the name Namhaeicola litoreus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Namhaeicola litoreus is DPG-25T ( = KCTC 23702T  = CCUG 61485T).

Chakrabartia godavariana PRB40T was compared with Aestuariisphingobium litorale SYSU M10002T to examine the taxonomic relationship between the two type strains. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of C. godavariana PRB40T had high similarity (99.8 %) to that of A. litorale SYSU M10002T. The results of phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the two strains formed a tight cluster within the genus Chakrabartia . A draft genomic comparison between the two strains revealed an average nucleotide identity of 97.3 % and a digital DNA–DNA hybridization estimate of 79.5±2.9 %, strongly indicating that the two strains represented a single species. In addition, neither strain displayed any striking differences in metabolic, physiological or chemotaxonomic features. Therefore, we propose that Aestuariisphingobium litorale is a later heterotypic synonym of Chakrabartia godavariana .
