The 16S Rrna Gene

This paper presents a polyphasic taxonomic study of a Gram-stain-negative bacterium designated GA093T, a soil isolate capable of benzo(α)pyrene degradation. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain GA093T is a member of the genus Flavobacterium , and formed an independent phylogenetic line while clustering with the type strains of Flavobacterium hibernum , Flavobacterium branchiarum and Flavobacterium hydatis . Strain GA093T was facultatively anaerobic, and could grow at 4–33 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 6–11 (optimum, pH 7) and in the presence of 0–2 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 %). Strain GA093T was capable of producing acid from various carbon sources, which was comparable to other related species of Flavobacterium . The strain contained MK-6 as the only isoprenoid quinone, iso-C15 : 0 as the major cellular fatty acid, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol as diagnostic polar lipids, and sym-homospermidine as the major polyamine. The chemotaxonomic properties of strain GA093T were consistent with the general properties of Flavobacterium except the presence of phosphatidylinositol, which distinguished it from other related species. The total stretch of the obtained genome of GA093T was 5.05 Mbp, and the DNA G+C content was 34.79 mol%. The genome contained genes potentially related to the degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons. On the basis of the present polyphasic analysis, strain GA093T was found to have properties that distunguished it as representing a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium , for which the name Flavobacterium hydrocarbonoxydans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GA093T (=KCTC 72594T=LMG 31760T).

Aniline blue-decolourizing bacterial strain 502str22T, isolated from sediment collected in the East Pacific, was subjected to characterization by a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain 502str22T belongs to the genus Novosphingobium , with closely related type strains ‘ Novosphingobium profundi ’ F72T (97.6%), N. mathurense SM117T (97.1%) and N. arvoryzae Jyi-02T (97.0%). Digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain 502str22T and closely related type strains were 20.3–24.8% and 74.1–81.9%, respectively. The major cellular fatty acid (>10%) was C18:1 ω7c. The polar lipid profile consisted of a mixture of phosphatidylcholine, one sphingoglycolipid, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine. The DNA G+C content of strain 502str22T was 65.5 mol%. The polyphasic taxonomic results indicated that strain 502str22T represents a novel species of the genus Novosphingobium , for which the name Novosphingobium decolorationis sp. nov is proposed. The type strain is 502str22T (=KCTC 82134T= MCCC 1K04799 T).

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and aerobic bacterial strain, named Ery12T, was isolated from the overlying water of the Lau Basin in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. Strain Ery12T showed high 16S rRNA gene sequences similarity to Tsuneonella flava MS1-4T (99.9 %), T. mangrovi MCCC 1K03311T (98.1 %), Altererythrobacter ishigakiensis NBRC 107699T (97.3 %) and exhibited ≤97.0 % sequence similarity with other type strains of species with validly published names. Growth was observed in media with 0–10.0 % NaCl (optimum 0–1.0 %, w/v), pH 5.0–9.5 (optimum 6.0–7.0) and 10–42 °C (optimum 30–37 °C). The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 10 (Q-10). The major cellular fatty acid was summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c and/or C18 : 1  ω6c). The major polar lipids were sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidyglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, three unidentified glycolipids, one unidentified aminoglycolipid and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content was 60.8 %. The ANI and in silico DDH values between strain Ery12T and the type strains of its closely related species were 71.0- 91.8 % and 19.5- 44.6 %, respectively. According to the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genomic data, strain Ery12T represents a novel species of the genus Tsuneonella , for which the name Tsuneonella suprasediminis is proposed. The type strain is Ery12T (=CGMCC 1.16500 T=MCCC 1A04421T=KCTC 62388T). We further propose to reclassify Altererythrobacter rhizovicinus and Altererythrobacter spongiae as Pelagerythrobacter rhizovicinus comb. nov. and Altericroceibacterium spongiae comb. nov., respectively.

Type Strains

A heterotrophic nitrifying bacterium, designated strain DA2T, was isolated from a microbiological agent for enhancing microbial digestion in sewage treatment tanks. Cells of strain DA2T were Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, sporulating rods that were motile by means of peritrichous flagella; they were able to grow at pH 5–8. The major isoprenoid quinone of strain DA2T was menaquinone-7 (MK-7) and its cellular fatty acid profile consisted mainly of iso-C15 : 0 (18.6 %) and anteiso-C15 : 0 (69.1 %). The DNA G+C content was 54.1 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogeny suggested that strain DA2T is a member of the genus Brevibacillus , with highest sequence similarities (in parentheses) to the type strains of Brevibacillus choshinensis (99.7 %), B. formosus (99.4 %), B. brevis (99.4 %), B. agri (99.0 %), B. reuszeri (98.8 %), B. parabrevis (98.7 %), B. centrosporus (98.6 %), B. limnophilus (97.4 %), B. panacihumi (97.3 %) and B. invocatus (97.3 %). DNA–DNA hybridization showed less than 60 % relatedness between strain DA2T and type strains of the most closely related species given above. Given the significant differences in phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, and phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA sequence and DNA–DNA relatedness data, the isolate merits classification as a novel species, for which the name Brevibacillus nitrificans is proposed; the type strain of this species is DA2T ( = JCM 15774T = NCIMB 14531T).

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).

16S rRNA gene sequences deposited for the type strains of Paraoerskovia marina (CTT-37T; GenBank accession no. AB445007) and Koreibacter algae (DSW-2T; FM995611) show a similarity of 100 %. Consequently, the type strains were subjected to a polyphasic recharacterization under direct comparison in order to clarify their taxonomic position. PvuII RiboPrint patterns and quantitative ratios of cellular fatty acids revealed strain-specific differences between P. marina DSM 21750T ( = CTT-37T) and K. algae DSM 22126T ( = DSW-2T). The percentage of DNA–DNA binding of 94 % indicated that the two type strains belong to the same genomospecies. Agreement in the peptidoglycan structure and polar lipid pattern, highly similar fatty acid profiles and MALDI-TOF mass spectra, the ability to produce acid from the same carbon sources, corresponding enzymic activities and DNA G+C contents of 70.8±0.3 mol%, in addition to the consistent characteristics reported in the original descriptions, support the view that the two strains should be affiliated to the same species. According to Rules 38 and 42 of the Bacteriological Code, Koreibacter algae should be reclassified as later heterotypic synonym of Paraoerskovia marina , and the descriptions of the genus Paraoerskovia Khan et al. 2009 and of Paraoerskovia marina Khan et al. 2009 are emended accordingly.

The 16S Rrna Gene

An actinobacterial strain designated MMS20-R1-14T was isolated from a riverside soil sample. Colonies on agar plates were orange to strong orange brown in colour, which later became black. The cells grew at 10–40 °C (optimum, 37 °C), pH 5.0–11.0 (pH 8.0) and in the presence of 0–4 % NaCl (1 %). The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain MMS20-R1-14T showed highest similarities to Micromonospora wenchangensis CCTCC AA 2012002T (99.51 %) and Micromonospora rifamycinica AM105T (99.37 %). The orthoANI values between strain MMS20-R1-14T and the two type strains were 95.72 and 90.99 %, and the digital DNA–DNA hybridization values were 63.6 and 40.8 %, respectively, thus confirming the distinction of strain MMS20-R1-14T from its mostly related species. The DNA G+C content of strain MMS20-R1-14T was 72.9 mol%. The strain contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the major cell-wall amino acid, and the characteristic whole-cell sugars were arabinose, xylose, glucose, ribose and rhamnose. The main cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1  ω9c, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0, the diagnostic polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine, and the predominant menaquinones were MK-10(H4) and MK-10(H6), all of which were consistent with those of Micromonospora . Strain MMS20-R1-14T showed antimicrobial activity against a range of bacterial and yeast species. The genome of the strain was found to contain 33 potential biosynthetic gene clusters for secondary metabolites, thus showing a high potential as a producer of bioactive compounds. On the basis of these phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain MMS20-R1-14T merits recognition as representing a novel species of the genus Micromonospora , for which the name Micromonospora humida sp. nov. (type strain=MMS20 R1-14T=KCTC 49541T=JCM 34494T) is proposed.

A novel psychrotolerant, Gram-negative, shiny white, curved-rod-shaped, facultatively anaerobic bacterium PB1T was isolated from a soil sample collected from a glacier forefield of the Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica. Isolate PB1T has catalase and low urease activity and hydrolyses gelatin and starch. Strain PB1T is able to grow between −5 °C and 30 °C with optimum growth at 14–20 °C. Glycerol, dl-arabinose, d-xylose, d-galactose, d-fructose, d-lyxose, d-fucose and potassium gluconate are used as sole carbon sources. The major quinone is ubiquinone Q-8. The major fatty acids (>10 %) for PB1T are C16 : 0 (19.1 %), C16 : 1ω7cis (44.6 %) and C18 : 1ω7cis (16.2 %). The major polyamines are putrescine [54.9 µmol (g dry weight)−1] and 2-hydroxy putrescine [18.5 µmol (g dry weight)−1]. DNA G+C content is 62.5 mol%. Strain PB1T is phylogenetically related to species of the genus Herbaspirillum , with highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to Herbaspirillum canariense (97.3 %), Herbaspirillum aurantiacum (97.2 %), Herbaspirillum soli (97.2 %) and Herbaspirillum frisingense (97.0 %). The DNA–DNA relatedness values were below 30 % between PB1T and the type strains of Herbaspirillum canariense , Herbaspirillum aurantiacum and Herbaspirillum soli . The different geographical origin of strain PB1T from its closest phylogenetic relatives resulted in different phenotypic and genotypic specifications, whereby strain PBT represents a novel species of the genus Herbaspirillum , for which the name Herbaspirillum psychrotolerans is proposed. The type strain is PB1T (DSM 26001T = LMG 27282T).

A psychrotolerant strain, 8H1T, was isolated from soil samples collected in Isla de los Estados, Ushuaia, Argentina. Cells were Gram-negative, aerobic, straight rods, occurring singly or in pairs, non-spore-forming and motile by means of two polar flagella. The isolate was able to grow in the range 4–35 °C, with optimum growth at 28 °C. The predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c), C16 : 0 and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω6c and/or C18 : 1ω7c). The polar lipid pattern of strain 8H1T comprised phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and an unknown phospholipid. Ubiquinone 9 (Q-9) was the predominant lipoquinone. The DNA G+C content was 59.8 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogeny suggested the affiliation of strain 8H1T to the ‘Pseudomonas fluorescens group’, displaying ≥98.5 % sequence similarity to 29 type strains. A multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) study performed by concatenating 16S rRNA, gyrB, rpoD and rpoB gene sequences showed that isolate 8H1T could be discriminated from closely related species of the genus Pseudomonas and placed in the ‘Pseudomonas gessardii subgroup’, including the species with the highest MLSA sequence similarities: Pseudomonas brenneri (96.2 %), P. gessardii (96.1 %), P. proteolytica (96.0 %), P. meridiana (96.0 %) and P. mucidolens (95.4 %). DNA–DNA hybridization analysis between 8H1T and the type strains of these closely related species revealed relatedness values of 27.0, 8.8, 41.2, 39.7 and 46.1 %, respectively. These results, together with differences in several phenotypic features, support the classification of a novel species, for which the name Pseudomonas yamanorum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 8H1T ( = DSM 26522T = CCUG 63249T = LMG 27247T).

A Gram-positive, rod-shaped, endospore-forming Bacillus isolate, Bi.FFUP1 T, recovered in Portugal from a health product was subjected to a polyphasic study and compared with the type strains of Bacillus pumilus , Bacillus safensis , Bacillus altitudinis and Bacillus xiamenensis , the phenotypically and genotypically most closely related species. Acid production from cellobiose, d-glucose and d-mannose and absence of acid production from d-arabinose, erythritol, inositol, maltose, mannitol, raffinose, rhamnose, sorbitol, starch and l-tryptophan discriminated this new isolate from the type strains of the most closely related species. Additionally, a significant different protein and carbohydrate signature was evidenced by spectroscopic techniques, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and Fourier transform IR spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance. Using a chemometric approach, the score plot generated by principal component analysis clearly delineated the isolate as a separate cluster. The quinone system for strain Bi.FFUP1 T comprised predominantly menaquinone MK-7 and major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified glycolipid. Strain Bi.FFUP1 T showed ≥99 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to B. safensis FO-036bT, B. pumilus (7061T and SAFR-032), B. altitudinis 41KF2bT and B. xiamenensis HYC-10T. Differences in strain Bi.FFUP1 T gyrB and rpoB sequences in comparison with the most closely related species and DNA–DNA hybridization experiments with Bi.FFUP1 T and B. pumilus ATCC 7061T, B. safensis FO-036bT, B. altitudinis 41KF2bT and B. xiamenensis HYC-10T gave relatedness values of 39.6 % (reciprocal 38.0 %), 49.9 % (reciprocal 42.9 %), 61.9 % (reciprocal 52.2 %) and 61.7 % (reciprocal 49.2 %), respectively, supported the delineation of strain Bi.FFUP1 T as a representative of a novel species of the genus Bacillus , for which the name Bacillus invictae sp. nov. is proposed, with strain Bi.FFUP1 T ( = DSM 26896T = CCUG 64113T) as the type strain.

Three strains, LMG 27748T, LMG 27749 and LMG 27882 with identical MALDI-TOF mass spectra were isolated from samples taken from the brewery environment. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain LMG 27748T revealed that the taxon it represents was closely related to type strains of the species Gluconobacter albidus (100 % sequence similarity), Gluconobacter kondonii (99.9 %), Gluconobacter sphaericus (99.9 %) and Gluconobacter kanchanaburiensis (99.5 %). DNA–DNA hybridization experiments on the type strains of these species revealed moderate DNA relatedness values (39–65 %). The three strains used d-fructose, d-sorbitol, meso-erythritol, glycerol, l-sorbose, ethanol (weakly), sucrose and raffinose as a sole carbon source for growth (weak growth on the latter two carbon sources was obtained for strains LMG 27748T and LMG 27882). The strains were unable to grow on glucose-yeast extract medium at 37 °C. They produced acid from meso-erythritol and sucrose, but not from raffinose. d-Gluconic acid, 2-keto-d-gluconic acid and 5-keto-d-gluconic acid were produced from d-glucose, but not 2,5-diketo-d-gluconic acid. These genotypic and phenotypic characteristics distinguish strains LMG 27748T, LMG 27749 and LMG 27882 from species of the genus Gluconobacter with validly published names and, therefore, we propose classifying them formally as representatives of a novel species, Gluconobacter cerevisiae sp. nov., with LMG 27748T ( = DSM 27644T) as the type strain.
