Two phytopathogenic bacteria, MAFF 301380T and MAFF 301381, isolated from rot lesions of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. capitata L.) in Japan, were characterized using a polyphasic approach. The cells were Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped and motile with one to three polar flagella. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strains belong to the genus Pseudomonas and are closely related to Pseudomonas cedrina subsp. cedrina CFML 96-198T (99.72 %), Pseudomonas cedrina subsp. fulgida P515/12T (99.65 %), Pseudomonas gessardii DSM 17152T (99.51 %), Pseudomonas synxantha DSM 18928T (99.44 %), Pseudomonas libanensis CIP 105460T (99.44 %) and Pseudomonas lactis DSM 29167T (99.44 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was 60.4 mol% and the major fatty acids consisted of summed feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω7c/C16 : 1  ω6c), C16 : 0 and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c/C18 : 1  ω6c). Phylogenetic analysis using the rpoD gene sequences and phylogenomic analyses based on the whole genome sequences demonstrated that the strains are members of the Pseudomonas fluorescens subgroup but formed a monophyletic and robust clade separated from their closest relatives. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between the strains and their closely related species were 88.65 % or less and 36.3 % or less, respectively. The strains could be distinguished from their closest relatives by phenotypic characteristics, pathogenicity towards lettuce and whole-cell MALDI-TOF MS profiles. The evidence presented in this study supports the classification of the strains as representing a novel Pseudomonas species, for which we propose the name Pseudomonas lactucae sp. nov., with the type strain MAFF 301380T (=ICMP 23838T).

A Gram-stain-positive actinobacterial strain, designated ANK073T, was isolated from rhizosphere soil sampled at a spinach farming field in Shinan, Republic of Korea. Cells of strain ANK073T were found to be aerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming rods which could grow at 20–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 6.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 6.5–7.5) and at salinities of 0–4 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 % NaCl). The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain ANK073T belongs to the genus Agromyces with high sequence similarities to Agromyces humatus CD5T (98.8 %), Agromyces tardus SJ-23T (98.5 %) and Agromyces iriomotensis IY07-20T (98.4 %). The phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain ANK073T formed a distinct phyletic line in the genus Agromyces and the results of DNA–DNA relatedness and phylogenomic analysis based on whole genome sequences demonstrated that strain ANK073T could be separated from its closest relatives in the genus Agromyces . The strain contained 2,4-diaminobutylic acid, glycine, d-glutamic acid and d-alanine in the peptidoglycan. The predominant menaquinones were identified as MK-12 and MK-11, and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C17 : 0, anteiso-C15 :  0 and iso-C15:0. The major polar lipids were identified as diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The G+C content of the genome was determined to be 70.2 mol%. On the basis of its phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties and the results of phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses, strain ANK073T is considered to represent a novel species in the genus Agromyces , for which the name Agromyces humi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ANK073T (=KACC 18683T=NBRC 111825T).

A Gram-positive filamentous bacterial strain that developed large campanulate sporangia at the ends of sporangiophores on substrate mycelium was isolated from bamboo forest soil in Thailand. According to the results of a polyphasic taxonomic study, our isolate had typical characteristics of members of the genus Actinoplanes . The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis also indicated that strain A-T 6646T belonged to the genus Actinoplanes , being most closely related to Actinoplanes liguriensis DSM 43865T (97.61 %) and Actinoplanes octamycinicus NBRC 14524T (97.52 %). The DNA–DNA relatedness values, which differentiate the new strain from the most closely related species, were significantly below 70 %. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The whole-cell sugars contained xylose and arabinose. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The diagnostic phospholipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. Following an evaluation of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic studies, the isolate is proposed to represent a novel species to be named Actinoplanes siamensis sp. nov. The type strain is A-T 6646T ( = BCC 46194T = NBRC 109076T).

During the isolation of bacteria from the Agave L. rhizosphere in northeast Mexico, four strains with similar BOX-PCR patterns were collected. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of all four strains were very similar to each other and that of the type strains of Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34T (98.49 % sequence similarity) and Cupriavidus necator N-1T (98.35 %). The genome of strain ASC-9842T was sequenced and compared to those of other Cupriavidus species. ANIb and ANIm values with the most closely related species were lower than 95%, while the in silico DNA–DNA hybridization values were also much lower than 70 %, consistent with the proposal that they represent a novel species. This conclusion was supported by additional phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses. Therefore, the name Cupriavidus agavae sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain ASC-9842T (=LMG 26414T=CIP 110327T).

A Gram-stain-negative, fusiform-shaped, facultatively anaerobic bacterial strain, designated EBTL04T, was isolated from activated sludge using algal metabolites and taxonomically characterized through polyphasic investigation. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain EBTL04T belongs to the family Verrucomicrobiaceae , class Verrucomicrobiae , and is closely related to Prosthecobacter dejongeii DSM 12251T (98.6 % sequence similarity), Prosthecobacter fusiformis ATCC 25309T (97.9 %), Prosthecobacter debontii DSM 14044T (97.5 %), Prosthecobacter vanneervenii DSM 12252T (94.7 %) and Prosthecobacter fluviatilis KCTC 22182T (93.7 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain EBTL04T was 62.7 mol%. The menaquinone MK-6 was detected as the predominant quinone. Strain EBTL04T contained phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylserine as major polar lipids. A fatty acid profile with C16 : 1ω5c, iso-C14 : 0, C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and C14 : 0 as the major components supported the classification of strain EBTL04T in the genus Prosthecobacter . Based on several phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic features, strain EBTL04T was clearly differentiated from its phylogenetic neighbours. Therefore, strain EBTL04T should be considered to represent a novel species of the genus Prosthecobacter , for which the name Prosthecobacter algae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is EBTL04T ( = KCTC 23681T = JCM 18053T).

Two strains of lactic acid bacteria, designated Hs20B0-1T and Hs30E4-3T, were isolated from the gut of the damp-wood termite Hodotermopsis sjostedti. These strains were characterized genetically and phenotypically. Strain Hs20B0-1T was related to Lactococcus piscium DSM 6634T showing 96.3 and 84.2 % sequence similarity in 16S rRNA gene and rpoB gene sequences, respectively. Strain Hs30E4-3T was related to Lactococcus plantarum DSM 20686T showing 94.8 and 82.2 % sequence similarity in 16S rRNA gene and rpoB gene sequences, respectively. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains Hs20B0-1T and Hs30E4-3T was 95.7 %. Furthermore, genomic comparisons using pairwise average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (DDH) analyses between strain Hs20B0-1T and L. piscium DSM 6634T resulted in values of 73.5 and 20.1 %, respectively. Strain Hs30E4-3T had 72.8 % ANI similarity and 21.3 % DDH similarity to L. plantarum DSM 20686T. Strains Hs20B0-1T and Hs30E4-3T had 75.4 % ANI similarity and 21.1 % DDH similarity to each other. The cell-wall peptidoglycan types of strains Hs20B0-1T and Hs30E4-3T were A4α, Lys-Asp and A3α, Lys–Thr–Ala, respectively. The two strains, Hs20B0-1T and Hs30E4-3T, are distinguishable from each other and other established Lactococcus species phylogenetically and phenotypically. In conclusion, two novel species of the genus Lactococcus are proposed, namely Lactococcus insecticola Hs20B0-1T (=JCM 33485T=DSM 110147T) and Lactococcus hodotermopsidis Hs30E4-3T (=JCM 33486T=DSM 110148T), respectively.

The strain grew optimally on R2A medium at 30 °C and at pH 6. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK7 and major fatty acids were summed feature 3, iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C17 : 1ω9c and C16 : 1ω5c. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 40.0 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain belongs to the genus Mucilaginibacter in the family Sphingobacteriaceae . The most closely related species were Mucilaginibacter daejeonensis (95.5 %), Mucilaginibacter frigoritolerans (94.6 %) and Mucilaginibacter mallensis (94.0 %). Based on the phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic data analyses, strain YC7004T represents a novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter with the proposed name of Mucilaginibacter jinjuensis sp. nov. The type strain is YC7004T ( = KACC 16571T = NBRC 108856T).

Five Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, motile with one to three polar flagella, rod-shaped bacterial strains, MAFF 212408T, MAFF 212409, MAFF 212410, MAFF 301498 and MAFF 730085, were isolated from diseased Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.) in Japan. Analysis of their 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that they belong to the genus Pseudomonas with the highest similarity to Pseudomonas extremaustralis 14-3T (99.86 %), Pseudomonas antarctica CMS 35T (99.79 %) and Pseudomonas poae DSM 14936T (99.72%). The genomic DNA G+C content was 59.5 mol% and the major fatty acids (>5 %) were summed feature 3, C16 : 0, summed feature 8 and C12 : 0 2-OH. Multilocus sequence analysis using the rpoD, gyrB and rpoB gene sequences and phylogenomic analysis based on the 90 core genes demonstrated that the strains are members of the P. fluorescens subgroup, but are distant from all closely related species. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) analysis confirmed low genomic relatedness to their closest relatives [below the recommended thresholds of 95 % (ANI) and 70 % (dDDH) for prokaryotic species delineation]. The strains were characterized by using API 20NE and Biolog GEN III tests, and inoculation tests in Welsh onion, showing that they are phenotypically differentiated from their closest relatives. Based on the genetic and phenotypic evidence, the strains should be classified as representing a novel species, for which the name Pseudomonas kitaguniensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MAFF 212408T (=ICMP 23530T).

Food Waste Compost

A taxonomic study was carried out on a novel aerobic bacterial strain, designated CC-CY503T, isolated from food-waste compost in Taiwan. Cells were Gram-stain-negative short rods, motile by means of a monopolar flagellum. Strain CC-CY503T was able to grow at 20–50 °C and pH 6.0–10.0 and to tolerate <6 % NaCl (w/v). Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that this bacterium belonged to the genus Pseudomonas , with Pseudomonas pertucinogena ATCC 190T as the closest neighbour, sharing a sequence similarity of 97.9 %. The DNA–DNA relatedness value of strain CC-CY503T with P. pertucinogena ATCC 190T was 37.8±2.3 %. The phylogenetic trees reconstructed based on gyrB and rpoB gene sequences supported the classification of strain CC-CY503T as a novel member of the genus Pseudomonas . The predominant quinone system was ubiquinone (Q-9) and the DNA G+C content was 63.1±0.4 mol%. The major fatty acids were C12 : 0, C16 : 0, C17 : 0 cyclo, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and summed features 3 and 8 consisting of C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c and C18 : 1ω7c/C18 : 1ω6c, respectively. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine. On the basis of its distinct phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features, strain CC-CY503T ( = BCRC 80437T = JCM 18415T) is proposed to represent a novel species within the genus Pseudomonas , for which the name Pseudomonas formosensis sp. nov. is proposed.
