Four marine bacterial strains were isolated from a thallus of the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum collected in Roscoff, France. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-flagellated, gliding, rod-shaped and grew optimally at 25–30 °C, at pH 7–8 and with 2–4 % NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses of their 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the bacteria were affiliated to the genus Zobellia (family Flavobacteriaceae , phylum Bacteroidetes ). The four strains exhibited 97.8–100 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values among themselves, 97.9–99.1 % to the type strains of Zobellia amurskyensis KMM 3526T and Zobellia laminariae KMM 3676T, and less than 99 % to other species of the genus Zobellia . The DNA G+C content of the four strains ranged from 36.7 to 37.7 mol%. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization calculations between the new strains and other members of the genus Zobellia resulted in values of 76.4–88.9 % and below 38.5 %, respectively. Phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic analyses showed that the four strains are distinct from species of the genus Zobellia with validly published names. They represent two novel species of the genus Zobellia , for which the names Zobellia roscoffensis sp. nov. and Zobellia nedashkovskayae sp. nov. are proposed with Asnod1-F08T (RCC6906T=KMM 6823T=CIP 111902T) and Asnod2-B07-BT (RCC6908T=KMM 6825T=CIP 111904T), respectively, as the type strains.

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-flagellated and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated GJR-7T, was isolated from coastal sand of the South Sea of South Korea. Strain GJR-7T grew optimally at 30 °C, at pH 7.0–7.5 and without NaCl. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain GJR-7T clustered with the type strains of Sphingopyxis wooponensis , Sphingopyxis rigui and Sphingorhabdus planktonica , with which it exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 96.0–96.3 %. Sequence similarities to the type strains of other recognized species were less than 95.5 %. Strain GJR-7T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1ω7c, 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) or C14 : 0 2-OH. The major polar lipids were sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and one unidentified glycolipid. The DNA G+C content of strain GJR-7T was 55.5 mol%. Differential phenotypic properties, together with phylogenetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain GJR-7T is separated from the type strains of Sphingopyxis wooponensis , Sphingopyxis rigui and Sphingorhabdus planktonica . On the basis of the data presented, strain GJR-7T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Sphingorhabdus , for which the name Sphingorhabdus arenilitoris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GJR-7T ( = KCTC 42051T = CECT 8531T). It is also proposed that Sphingopyxis wooponensis and Sphingopyxis rigui should be reclassified as members of the genus Sphingorhabdus .

A strictly aerobic, Gram-stain-negative bacterium, designated strain No.6T, was isolated from a lichen (Cladonia sp.) collected in Geogeum Island, Korea, and its taxonomic status was established by a polyphasic study. Cells of strain No.6T were non-motile, catalase- and oxidase-positive, non-spore-forming rods. Growth was observed at 15–35 °C (optimum, 25–30 °C), at pH 5.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 6.0–8.0) and with 0–3 % NaCl (optimum, 0–2 %). The predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (comprising iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c, 41.5 %), iso-C15 : 0 (26.7 %) and C16 : 0 (9.6 %), and menaquinone MK-7 was the only respiratory quinone. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain No.6T was 36.8 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain No.6T fell within the evolutionary group encompassed by the genus Sphingobacterium . Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the novel strain and the type strains of recognized Sphingobacterium species ranged from 92.1 to 99.1 %, the highest values being with Sphingobacterium siyangense SY1T (99.1 %) and Sphingobacterium multivorum IAM 14316T (98.5 %). DNA–DNA relatedness between strain No.6T and these two type strains were 32.0 and 5.7 %, respectively. The polar lipids found in strain No.6T were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified phospholipids, three unidentified aminophospholipids, one glycolipid and four unidentified lipids. One unidentified sphingolipid was also found. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data, strain No.6T represents a novel species of the genus Sphingobacterium , for which the name Sphingobacterium cladoniae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is No.6T ( = KCTC 22613T = JCM 16113T). An emended description of Sphingobacterium siyangense is also proposed.

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.

Two Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented and strictly aerobic bacteria, designated strains SE-s27T and SE-s28T, were isolated from forest soil. Both strains were non-motile rods that were catalase-positive and oxidase-negative and grew optimally at 25–30 °C, pH 8.0 and with 0 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain SE-s28T produced flexirubin-type pigments, but strain SE-s27T did not produce them. Both strains contained menaquinone-6 as the sole respiratory quinone and phosphatidylethanolamine as a major polar lipid. As the major cellular fatty acids (>10 %), SE-s27T contained iso-C15 : 1 and iso-C15 : 1G, whereas SE-s28T contained iso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 3 comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH. The DNA G+C contents of strains SE-s27T and SE-s28T were 33.1 and 44.3 mol%, respectively. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that SE-s27T and SE-s28T formed respective distinct phylogenetic lineages within the genus Flavobacterium . Strains SE-s27T and SE-s28T were most closely related to Flavobacterium macrobrachii an-8T and Flavobacterium piscinae ICH-30T with 98.0 and 94.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, respectively. In conclusion, strains SE-s27T and SE-s28T represent novel species of the genus Flavobacterium , for which the names Flavobacterium solisilvae sp. nov. and Flavobacterium silvaticum sp. nov. are proposed. The type strains of F. solisilvae and F. silvaticum are SE-s27T (=KACC 18802T=JCM 31544T) and SE-s28T (=KACC 18803T=JCM 31545T), respectively.

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).

A novel Gram-negative, aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, non-sporulating, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain UST081027-248T, was isolated from seawater of the Red Sea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain UST081027-248T fell within the genus Erythrobacter . Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the novel strain and the type strains of Erythrobacter species ranged from 95.3 % (with Erythrobacter gangjinensis ) to 98.2 % (with Erythrobacter citreus ). However, levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain UST081027-248T and the type strains of closely related species were below 70 %. Optimal growth of the isolate occurred in the presence of 2.0 % NaCl, at pH 8.0–9.0 and at 28–36 °C. The isolate did not produce bacteriochlorophyll a. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C17 : 1ω6c, summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω6c and/or C18 : 1ω7c) and C15 : 0 2-OH. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain UST081027-248T was 60.4 mol%. Phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness clearly indicated that strain UST081027-248T represents a novel species of the genus Erythrobacter , for which the name Erythrobacter pelagi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is UST081027-248T ( = JCM 17468T = NRRL 59511T).

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, motile by single polar flagellum and ovoid or rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated JBTF-M23T, was isolated from tidal flat sediment collected from the Yellow Sea, Republic of Korea. Neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain JBTF-M23T fell within the clade comprising the type strains of Pseudoalteromonas species, clustering with the type strains of P. byunsanensis and P. amylolytica . Strain JBTF-M23T exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value (98.6 %) to the type strain of P. rubra and sequence similarities of 98.3 and 97.7 % to the type strains of P. byunsanensis and P. amylolytica, respectively. The DNA G+C content of strain JBTF-M23T from genomic sequence data was 41.98 %. The ANI and dDDH values between strain JBTF-M23T and the type strains of P. rubra , P. byunsanensis and P. amylolytica were 71.3–76.6 and 19.4–19.9 %, respectively. Strain JBTF-M23T contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c, C16 : 0 and C18 : 1  ω7c as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids of strain JBTF-M23T were phosphatidylethanolamine and one unidentified aminolipid. Distinguished phenotypic properties, along with the phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain JBTF-M23T is separated from recognized Pseudoalteromonas species. On the basis of the data presented, strain JBTF-M23Tis considered to represent a novel species of the genus Pseudoalteromonas , for which the name Pseudoalteromonas caenipelagi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JBTF-M23T(=KACC 19900T=NBRC 113647T).

A novel type of freshwater bacterium was isolated from the prealpine mesotrophic Starnberger See (Bavaria, southern Germany). Cells of strain 382T were Gram-negative and rod-shaped, motile and creamy-white. The isolate was strictly aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, and grew at pH values of 6–9 (optimum, pH 7) and temperatures of 10–37 °C (optimum, 28 °C). The genomic G+C content of strain 382T was 64.1 mol%. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, strain 382T belongs to the family Sphingomonadaceae and clusters within the genus Sphingomonas . Sphingomonas histidinilytica UM 2T and Sphingomonas wittichii DSM 6014T were the closest relatives, as indicated by the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities (97.1 % and 96.8 %, respectively). Sphingomonas paucimobilis DSM 1098T (the type species of the genus Sphingomonas ) exhibited 95.3 % sequence similarity. This affiliation of strain 382T to the genus Sphingomonas is confirmed by the presence of Q-10 as the major respiratory quinone, two sphingoglycolipids, C14 : 0 2-OH as the major 2-hydroxy fatty acid and sym-homospermidine as the major polyamine. The main cellular fatty acids of strain 382T were C18 : 1ω7c (39 %), C16 : 1ω7c (21 %), C16 : 0 (10 %) and C14 : 0 2-OH (10 %). Based on the phylogenetic distance from other species of the genus Sphingomonas and its unusually high C16 : 1ω7c content, strain 382T represents a novel species of the genus Sphingomonas , for which the name Sphingomonas starnbergensis is proposed. The type strain is 382T ( = DSM 25077T  = LMG 26763T).

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 .
