An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, bacterium, designated CLL3-39T was isolated from seashore sediment collected at a Tamarix chinensis forest in the Marine Ecology Special Reserve of Changyi, Shandong Province, PR China. Cells of strain CLL3-39T were olive-shaped and no flagellum was observed. Strain CLL3-39T grew optimally at 33 °C, pH 7.5 and salinity (sea salts) of 40 g l−1. The main fatty acids in the cell membrane of strain CLL3-39T comprised anteiso-C15 : 0 (22.3 %), iso-C15 : 0 (14.0 %), C16 : 0 (9.2 %) and summed feature 8 (contains C18 : 1  ω7c/C18 : 1  ω6c. 26. 7 %). The main polar lipids of CLL3-39T were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine. The respiratory quinone was Q10. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain CLL3-39T was 69.6 mol%. The average nucleotide identity between CLL3-39T and Pseudoroseicyclus aestuarii DB-4T was 74.7 % and the in silico DNA–DNA hybridization value was 20.1 %. Phylogenetically, strain CLL3-39T belonged to the genus Pseudoroseicyclus , branching with only one type strain P. aestuarii DB-4T with 96.3 % 16S rRNA gene similarity, followed by Limimaricola cinnabarinus LL-001T (95.2 %). Based on its phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, we propose strain CLL3-39T (=MCCC 1A14815T =KCTC 72665T) as a representative of a novel species in the genus Pseudoroseicyclus , for which the name Pseudoroseicyclus tamaricis sp. nov. is proposed.

An aerobic, Gram-stain negative, pale, rod-shaped, nitrogen-fixing bacterial strain, DDT-3T, was isolated from dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane-contaminated soil in Liyang, PR China. Strain DDT-3T grew at temperatures ranging from 20 to 40 °C (optimum 30–37 °C) and a pH of between 5.0 and 10.0 (optimum pH 7.0–8.0). The G+C content of the total DNA was 70.1 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain DDT-3T showed the highest similarity to that of Pseudoxanthobacter soli CC4T (99.6 %), followed by Kaistia dalseonensis B6-8T (93.3 %), Kaistia soli 5YN9-8T (93.0 %) and Amorphus orientalis YIM D10T (93.0 %). Strain DDT-3T showed less than 92.6 % similarity with other species of the family Xanthobacteraceae . The major cellular fatty acids of strain DDT-3T were C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (42.6 %), C16 : 0 (33.2 %) and C18 : 1ω7c (10.0 %). The only respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-10. The characteristic diamino acid of the peptidoglycan was meso-diaminopimelic acid. The major polar lipids were glycolipid, lipid, phosphatidylcholine, aminolipid, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol. The polyamine profile consisted of major amounts of putrescine (92.9 %) and minor amounts of spermidine (5.0 %) and spermine (2.1 %). These chemotaxonomic data support the affiliation of strain DDT-3T with the genus Pseudoxanthobacter . The DNA–DNA hybridization value between strain DDT-3T and strain CC4T was 47.8 % (reciprocal 44.3 %). DNA–DNA hybridization data as well as the biochemical and physiological characteristics strongly supported the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain DDT-3T and strain CC4T. Strain DDT-3T, therefore, represents a novel species of the genus Pseudoxanthobacter , for which the name Pseudoxanthobacter liyangensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DDT-3T ( = KACC 16601T = CCTCC AB 2013167T).

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%.

Results of genome analyses of strain YZGR15T indicated that the genome size was 3.16 Mb, with a genomic DNA G+C content of 71.9 mol%. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain YZGR15Tand three type strains were in the range of 76.5–77.8 % and 20.0–22.2 %, respectively. Analysis of the cellular component of strain YZGR15T revealed that the primary fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, C14 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0 and the polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified phospholipids and two unidentified glycolipids. The cell-wall characteristic amino acids were glutamic acid, alanine and an unknown amino acid. The whole-cell sugars for the strain were mannose, ribose, rhamnose, glucose and an unidentified sugar. The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-9(H4). Based on the results of genomic, phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses, strain YZGR15T represents a novel species of the genus Sanguibacter , for which the name Sanguibacter suaedae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YZGR15T (=CGMCC 1.18691T=KCTC 49659T)

A novel Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, brick red-pigmented bacterium, designated R-22-1 c-1T, was isolated from water from Baiyang Lake, Hebei Province, PR China. The strain was able to grow at 20–30 °C (optimum, 30 °C) and pH 6–7 (optimum, pH 6) in Reasoner’s 2A medium. 16S rRNA gene sequence and phylogenetic analyses of R-22-1 c-1T revealed closest relationships to Rufibacter immobilis MCC P1T (97.8 %), Rufibacter sediminis H-1T (97.9 %) and Rufibacter glacialis MDT1-10-3T (97.0 %), with other species of the genus Rufibacter showing less than 97.0 % sequence similarity. The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids and three unidentified lipids. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, C15 : 1  ω6c, C17 : 1  ω6c, anteiso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c) and summed feature 4 (iso-C17 : 1I and/or anteiso-C17 : 1B). The respiratory quinone was MK-7. The draft genome of R-22-1 c-1T was 5.6 Mbp in size, with a G+C content of 50.2 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization relatedness values between strain R-22-1 c-1T and related type strains were R. immobilis MCC P1T (77.2 and 21.8 %), R. sediminis H-1T (81.6 and 21.4 %) and R. tibetensis 1351T (78.5 and 22.9 %). Based on these phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic results, strain R-22-1 c-1T represents a novel species in the genus Rufibacter , for which the name Rufibacter latericius sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R-22-1 c-1T (=CGMCC 1.13570T=KCTC 62781T).

A Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, curved rod-shaped bacterium, designed strain R148T was isolated from a coralline algae Tricleocarpa sp. collected from Weizhou island, PR China. The optimal growth of R148T occurred at 25 °C, pH 8–9 in the presence of 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl on the basis of amended marine broth 2216. The genomic DNA G+C content was 59.5 mol%. The only detected respiratory quinone was Q-10. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and three unidentified ninhydrin-positive lipids. The major cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c, C16 : 1ω7c, C19 : 0cyclo 9, 10 DMA and C18 : 0. The results of 16S rRNA gene-based global alignment indicated that the closest neighbour of strain R148T was Pelagibius litoralis DSM 21314T (93.1 % similarity), the second is Limibacillus halophilus KCTC 42420T (92.2 %). The results of phylogenetic analysis indicated that R148T forms a distinct branch in the robust clade of R148T and P. litoralis DSM 21314T, while the taxonomic position of this clade in the family Rhodospirillaceae is ambiguous among phylogenetic approaches. The low 16S rRNA gene similarity and distinct polar lipid and cellular fatty acid profile could readily distinguish R148T from closely related type strains. So R148T is suggested to represent a novel species in a novel genus, for which the name Denitrobaculum tricleocarpae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R148T (=MCCC 1K03781T=KCTC 72137T).

Five Gram-stain-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, rod-shaped and motile strains (FT50WT, FT80WT, FT92WT, FT94W and FT135WT) were isolated from a subtropical stream in PR China. Comparisons based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains FT50WT, FT94W and FT135WT take strain Duganella sacchari Sac-22T, and strains FT80WT and FT92WT take strain Duganella ginsengisoli DCY83T as their closest neighbour in the phylogenetic trees, respectively. The G+C contents of strains FT50WT, FT80WT, FT92WT, FT94W and FT135WT were 63.3, 62.4, 62.8, 63.8 and 60.8 %, respectively. The reconstructed phylogenomic tree based on concatenated 92 core genes showed that strains FT50WT, FT80WT, FT94W and FT135WT clustered together with species of the genus Duganella , but strains FT92WT and D. ginsengisoli KCTC 42409T were located in the clades of the genus Massilia . The calculated pairwise average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values among strains FT50WT, FT80WT, FT92WT, FT94W, FT135WT and related strains were in the ranges of 75.6–87.8% and 20.3–33.8% except that the values between strains FT50WT and FT94W were 98.7 and 89.2%, respectively. The respiratory quinone of these five strains was Q-8. The major fatty acids were C16 : 1  ω7c, C16 : 0, C18 : 1  ω7c and C12 : 0. The polar lipids included phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and one unidentified phospholipid. Considering the distinct phylogenetic relationships of D. ginsengisoli with species of the genus Massilia in the phylogenomic tree, it was reasonable to transfer D. ginsengisoli to the genus Massilia as Massilia ginsengisoli comb. nov. Combining the results of phylogenomic analysis, ANI and dDDH data, and a range of physiological and biochemical characteristics together, strains FT50WT and FT94W should belong to the same species and be assigned to genus Duganella with strains FT80WT and FT135WT together, and strain FT92WT should be assigned to the genus Massilia , for which the names Duganella lactea sp. nov. (type strain FT50WT=GDMCC 1.1674T=KACC 21466T), Duganella guangzhouensis sp. nov. (FT80WT=GDMCC 1.1678T=KACC 21470T), Duganella flavida sp. nov. (FT135WT=GDMCC 1.1745T=KACC 21659T) and Massilia rivuli sp. nov. (FT92WT=GDMCC 1.1682T=KACC 21474T) are proposed.

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain SH27T, which was isolated from seawater collected around Xiaoshi Island, PR China. Cells of strain SH27T were Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped, orange-pigmented and grew at 15–37 °C (optimum, 28 °C), at pH 6.0–8.0 (pH 7.0) and in 1.0–7.0 % (w/v) NaCl (2.0–3.0 %). The isolate was positive for catalase, but negative for nitrate reduction, oxidase, indole production and urease. Carotenoid pigment was produced. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene placed strain SH27T in the genus Dokdonia with the closest relative being Dokdonia donghaensis KCTC 12391T, exhibiting 96.7 % 16S rRNA gene pairwise similarity. The results of genomic comparisons, including average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization, showed 72.9 and 19.2 % identity to D. donghaensis KCTC 12391T, respectively. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified lipids. Menaquinone-6 was the only respiratory quinone. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 32.9 mol%. On the basis of the phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain SH27T represents a novel species of the genus Dokdonia , for which the name Dokdonia sinensis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain SH27T (MCCC 1H00358T=CCTCC AB 2018323T=KCTC 62962T).

A novel biosurfactant-producing strain, designated YW1T, was isolated from agricultural soil. Its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. The cells were short rods, Gram-negative, non-sporulating and motile. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain YW1T was a member of the genus Comamonas , and showed highest sequence similarities to Comamonas aquatica LMG 2370T (98.5 %), Comamonas kerstersii LMG 3475T (97.7 %) and Comamonas terrigena LMG 1253T (97.7 %). Furthermore, DNA–DNA hybridization experiments against these three strains gave results that were clearly lower than 70 % DNA–DNA similarity, and consequently confirmed that this new strain does not belong to a previously described species of the genus Comamonas . The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8. The major fatty acids (>5 %) were C16 : 0 (30.1 %), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c; 25.4 %), summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω6c and/or C18 : 1ω7c; 15.3 %), C17 : 0 cyclo (7.4 %) and C14 : 0 (5.8 %). The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, unknown phospholipids and unknown lipids. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization, whole-cell fatty acid composition as well as biochemical characteristics, strain YW1T was clearly distinguishable from all species of the genus Comamonas with validly published names and should be classified as a representative of a novel species of the genus Comamonas , for which the name Comamonas jiangduensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YW1T ( = CCTCC AB 2012033T = KACC 16697T).

A Gram-negative, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped, antimony-resistant bacterium, designated strain SB22T, was isolated from soil of Jixi coal mine, China. The major cellular fatty acids (>5 %) were C18 : 1ω7c (63.5 %), summed feature 2 (C14 : 0 3-OH and/or iso-C16 : 1 I, 10.8 %) and C16 : 0 (9.9 %). The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and an unknown aminolipid. The genomic DNA G+C content was 69.6 mol% and Q-10 was the major respiratory quinone. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain SB22T was most closely related to Skermanella aerolata 5416T-32T (97.3 %), Skermanella parooensis ACM 2042T (95.8 %) and Skermanella xinjiangensis 10-1-101T (92.9 %). The DNA–DNA hybridization value between strain SB22T and S. aerolata KACC 11604T ( = 5416T-32T) was 43.3 %. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics of strain SB22T and related species, it is considered that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Skermanella , for which the name Skermanella stibiiresistens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SB22T ( = CGMCC 1.10751T = KCTC 23364T). An emended description of the genus Skermanella is provided.

A Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated as L7T, was isolated from seeds of Alhagi sparsifolia Shap., a leguminous plant that grows in northwest PR China. Strain L7T was found to be non-flagellated, non-spore forming rods which can grow at 10–37 °C, pH 6.0–8.5 and in 0–3 % (v/w) NaCl concentration. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain L7T belongs to the genus Chryseobacterium with sequence similarities to Chryseobacterium vietnamense GIMN1.005T (98.1%), C. bernardetii NCCTC13530T (98.0%), C. vrystaatense LMG 22846T (97.9%), C. nakagawai NCTC13529T (97.7%), C. shigense DSM 17126T (97.6%) and C. rhizosphaerae RSB3-1T (97.5%). The average nucleotide identity of strain L7T to 31 reference strains were 78.6–85.6 %, lower than the species delineation threshold of 95 %. MK-6 was the only respiratory quinone of L7T and major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c, isoC17 : 1  ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified aminophospholipids, two unidentified aminolipids, three unidentified glycolipids and two unidentified lipids. The G+C content of the genome was 38.58 mol%. On the basis of polyphasic taxonomy analyses in this study, strain L7T is considered to represent a novel species in the genus Chryseobacterium , for which the name Chryseobacterium endalhagicum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is L7T (=MCCC 1K05687T=JCM 34506T)
