During a study on the biodiversity of bacteria that inhabit woody biomass, we isolated a strain coded B40T from hardwood bark used as a compost ingredient in Japan. The strain, characterized as B40T, is a Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, non-motile, non-spore-forming and catalase-negative bacterium. This novel isolate showed growth at 30–50 °C, at pH 3.5–7.5 and in the presence of up to 4 % (w/v) NaCl. Its major fatty acids include C16:0, C18:1 ω9c and summed feature 8. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain B40T is 42.2 mol%. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain B40T belongs to the genus Lactobacillus and the closest neighbours of strain B40T are Lactobacillus gigeriorum 202T (95.7 %), Lactobacillus pasteurii CRBIP 24.76T (95.6 %), Lactobacillus psittaci DSM 15354T (95.4 %), Lactobacillus fornicalis TV1018T (95.4 %) and Lactobacillus jensenii ATCC 25258T (95.2 %). The amino acid sequence-based phylogenetic analyses of 489 shared protein-encoding genes showed that the strain forms a phylogenetically independent lineage in the genus Lactobacillus but could not be assigned to any known species. Strain B40T has an average nucleotide identify of <70.2 % and a digital DNA–DNA hybridization value of 19.2 % compared with the strains of other closely related Lactobacillus species. Differential genomic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties, in addition to phylogenetic analyses, indicated that strain B40T represents a novel species of the genus Lactobacillus , for which the name Lactobacillus corticis sp. nov. is proposed. The strain type is B40T (=JCM 32597T=DSM 107967T).

A Gram-staining-positive, heterotrophic, aerobic, non-motile, non-endospore-forming, yellow-coloured rod, designated strain N5T, was isolated from a soil sample collected at an industrial waste site in Noida, on the outskirts of Delhi, India. In phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain N5T was most closely related to members of established species in the genus Microbacterium (with sequence similarities of approximately 94.0–97.6 %), particularly Microbacterium indicum LMG 23459T (97.59 %) and Microbacterium gubbeenense LMG 19263T (97.18 %). In DNA–DNA hybridization studies, however, none of the DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain N5T and members of the genus Microbacterium exceeded 11.3 %. The genomic DNA G+C content of the novel strain was 68 mol%. The chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain N5T, which had MK-11 and MK-10 as its major menaquinones and anteiso-C15 : 0 (45 %), anteiso-C17 : 0 (37 %), iso-C16 : 0 (8.5 %) and C16 : 0 (4.5 %) as its predominant fatty acids, were consistent with classification in the genus Microbacterium . Peptidoglycan in the novel strain, which contained ornithine, alanine, glycine, homoserine, glutamic acid, 3-hydroxyglutamic acid, muramic acid and traces of N-glycolyl residues, was of type B2β. The polar lipid profile of strain N5T comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unknown glycolipid. The novel strain’s major cell-wall sugars were glucose and galactose.

A novel Gram-stain-positive bacterium was isolated from a purulent bovine milk sample, the bovine placenta from an abortion, the udder secretion of a heifer and the lung of a pig that had succumbed from suppurative bronchopneumonia in Switzerland from 2015 to 2019. The strains grew best under aerobic conditions with 5 % CO2 and colonies were non-haemolytic and greyish-white. They were non-motile and negative for catalase and oxidase. The genomes of the four strains 19M2397T, 15A0121, 15IMD0307 and 19OD0592 were obtained by sequencing. The results of phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene grouped them within the genus Trueperella in the family Arcanobacteriaceae . The genomes had DNA G+C contents of 61.2–62.2 mol% and showed digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values of 21.4–22.8 % and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of approximately 77 % to their closest relatives Trueperella pyogenes and Trueperella bernardiae . With respect to the presence in different livestock species we propose the name Trueperella pecoris sp. nov. The type strain is 19M2397T (=CCOS 1952T=DSM 111392T), isolated from the udder secretion of a heifer diagnosed with summer mastitis in 2019.

A novel Gram-stain-negative, horseshoe-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated strain M12-11BT, was isolated from a marine sediment sample collected at a depth of 200 m from Kongsfjorden, Svalbard. The colony colour was orangish red due to the presence of carotenoids. Fatty acids were dominated by branched and unsaturated fatty acids (90.8 %), with a high abundance of iso-C15 : 0 (14.9 %), anteiso-C15 : 0 (11.4 %), iso-C15 : 1 G (13.1 %), C15 : 1ω6c (5.4 %), C17 : 1ω6c (6.7 %), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c; 9.3 %) and summed feature 9 (10-methyl C16 : 0 and/or iso-C17 : 1ω9c; 5.9 %). Strain M12-11BT contained MK-7 as the major respiratory quinone. The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminolipid and three unidentified lipids. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, the type strains of Cyclobacterium amurskyense , Cyclobacterium marinum and Cyclobacterium lianum were most closely related to M12-11BT with sequence similarities of 98.2, 96.8 and 93.3 %, respectively. Other members of the family Cyclobacteriaceae had sequence similarities of <92.0 %. However, DNA–DNA hybridization with Cyclobacterium amurskyense KCTC 12363T and Cyclobacterium marinum DSM 745T showed relatedness values of only 24.5 and 32.5 % with respect to strain M12-11BT. Based on the results of DNA–DNA hybridization experiments and phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, it appears that strain M12-11BT represents a novel species of the genus Cyclobacterium , for which the name Cyclobacterium qasimii sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is M12-11BT ( = KCTC 23011T = NBRC 106168T) and it has a DNA G+C content of 40.5 mol%.
