A bacterial strain designated 26BT, which had been isolated from the cloaca of a toad-headed turtle, was subjected to a comprehensive taxonomic study. Comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that strain 26BT is a member of the family Neisseriaceae . Based on highest similarity values, Neisseria animaloris DSM 21642T (95.15 %), Alysiella filiformis ATCC 15532T (95.06 %), Uruburuella testudinis 07_OD624T (94.71 %), Uruburuella suis CCUG 47806T (94.66 %) and Alysiella crassa DSM 2578T (94.64 %) were identified as the closest relatives. Average nucleotide identity values based on the blast algorithm (ANIb) indicated that U. suis (76.10/76.17 %), Neisseria shayeganii 871T (74.34/74.51 %), Stenoxybacter acetivorans (73.30/73.41 %), N. animaloris (72.98/72.80) %, A. filiformis (71.14/71.21 %) and A. crassa (70.53/71.15 %) are the next closest relatives. Like ANIb, genome-based phylogeny did not suggest the affiliation of strain 26BT with any established genus. The polyamine pattern consisted of the major compounds putrescine, 1,3-diaminopropane and spermidine and the major quinone was ubiquinone Q-8. In the polar lipid profile, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and an ornithine lipid were predominant. The fatty acid profile contained predominantly C16 : 1 ω7c, C12 : 0, C14 : 0, C16 : 0 and C12 : 0 3OH. The size of the genome was 2.91 Mbp and the genomic G+C content was 54.0 mol%. Since these data do not demonstrate an unambiguous association with any established genus, we here propose the novel genus Paralysiella with the type species Paralysiella testudinis gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is 26BT (=CCM 9137T=LMG 32212T).

The 16S Rrna Gene

A taxonomic study was carried out on a novel bacterial strain, designated AM1R11T, which was isolated from seawater of Jeju Island in Korea. Cells of the isolate were found to be Gram-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile. Comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate belonged to the family Cytophagaceae , with Dyadobacter ginsengisoli Gsoil 043T as its closest relative, with a similarity of 96.6 %. It contained summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c, 36.9 %), iso-C15 : 0 (16.5 %) and C16 : 1ω5c (16.3 %) as the major fatty acids and MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone. The polar lipid profile of strain AM1R11T revealed the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine, one aminolipid and four unidentified lipids (L1, L2, L3 and L4). The DNA G+C content of strain AM1R11T was 45.1 mol%. On the basis of the evidence presented, it is concluded that strain AM1R11T represents a novel species of the genus Dyadobacter , for which the name Dyadobacter jejuensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AM1R11T ( = KACC 16446T = JCM 17918T).

A Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped, gliding and pale-pink-pigmented bacterium, designated strain ZLM-10T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from an arid area in Xinjiang province, China, and characterized in a taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach. The novel strain grew optimally at 30–37 °C and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) sea salts. The only respiratory quinone detected was MK-7 and the major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c), iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminolipid and two unidentified aminophospholipids. The DNA G+C content was 45.4 mol%. Flexirubin-type pigments were not produced. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ZLM-10T was a member of the phylum Bacteroidetes and appeared most closely related to Cesiribacter roseus 311T (90.2 % sequence similarity), Marivirga sericea LMG 13021T (89.2 %), Cesiribacter andamanensis AMV16T (89.1 %) and Marivirga tractuosa DSM 4126T (89.1 %). On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data and phylogenetic inference, strain ZLM-10T should be classified as a novel species of a new genus in the family Flammeovirgaceae , for which the name Nafulsella turpanensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is ZLM-10T ( = CCTCC AB 208222T = KCTC 23983T).

Five strains of anaerobic, Gram-negative bacilli isolated from the human oral cavity were subjected to a comprehensive range of phenotypic and genotypic tests and were found to comprise a homogeneous group. Phylogenetic analysis of full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that these strains represented a novel group within the family Prevotellaceae , and the most closely related species was Prevotella tannerae . P. tannerae and the novel taxon are deeply branched from the genus Prevotella , with sequence identities to the type strain of the type species of Prevotella , Prevotella melaninogenica , of 82.2 and 85.6 %, respectively. The novel genus Alloprevotella gen. nov. is proposed to accommodate the novel species Alloprevotella rava gen. nov., sp. nov. and the previously named Prevotella tannerae Moore et al. 1994 as Alloprevotella tannerae gen. nov., comb. nov. The type species is Alloprevotella tannerae. The type strain of Alloprevotella rava is 81/4-12T ( = DSM 22548T  = CCUG 58091T) and the type strain of Alloprevotella tannerae is ATCC 51259T  = CCUG 34292T  = CIP 104476T  = NCTC 13073T. Alloprevotella rava is weakly to moderately saccharolytic and produces moderate amounts of acetic acid and major amounts of succinic acid as end products of fermentation. Strains are sensitive to 20 % bile and hydrolyse gelatin. The principal cellular long-chain fatty acids are anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The G+C content of the DNA of the type strain is 47 mol%.

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain GCS-AE-31T, which was isolated from a phenol-degrading consortium, enriched from coking wastewater activated sludge of the Beijing Shougang Company Limited during the screening of phenol-degrading bacteria. Cells of strain GCS-AE-31T were Gram-stain-negative, short rods, motile by gliding, oxidase- and catalase-positive. Growth was observed at salinities of 0–3 % and at temperatures of 10–37 °C. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain GCS-AE-31T was most closely related to Pedobacter saltans LMG 10337T (96.17 %), but it showed low similarity to all other species of the genus Pedobacter (89.28–92.45 %). It also showed low 16S rRNA gene similarity to all other species of the family Sphingobacteriaceae (87.25–92.45 %) examined. The dominant fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c), anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The menaquinones were MK-7 (95.5 %) and MK-6 (4.5 %). The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, three aminolipids and three unknown phospholipids. Sphingolipid was present. The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 36.2 mol%. According to its phylogenetic position and phenotypic traits, the novel strain could not be assigned to the genus Pedobacter ; it should be classified as representing a novel species of a novel genus in the family Sphingobacteriaceae , for which the name Pseudopedobacter beijingensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed (type strain GCS-AE-31T = MCCC 1A01299T = CGMCC 1.12329T = LMG 27180T). The misclassified species Pedobacter saltans is transferred to the novel genus as Pseudopedobacter saltans comb. nov. (type strain LMG 10337T = MCCC 1A06472T = DSM 12145T = CCUG 39354T = CIP 105500T = JCM 21818T = NBRC 100064T).

Following phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, together with DNA G+C contents and differential chemotaxonomic and physiological characteristics, a new genus with the name Aliiglaciecola gen. nov. is proposed to more appropriately accommodate two recognized species of the genera Glaciecola and Aestuariibacter . Accordingly, [Glaciecola] lipolytica and [ Aestuariibacter] litoralis should be reassigned to the novel genus as Aliiglaciecola lipolytica comb. nov. (type strain, E3T = JCM 15139T = CGMCC 1.7001T) and Aliiglaciecola litoralis comb. nov. (type strain, KMM 3894T = JCM 15896T = NRIC 0754T), respectively. Aliiglaciecola lipolytica is proposed as the type species of this new genus. Physiologically, the combined characteristics of positive reactions for nitrate reduction and growth at 4 °C and 36 °C distinguish the new genus from the genera Aestuariibacter and Glaciecola by one to three traits. Moreover, the new genus is also distinguished from the genus Glaciecola by the fatty acid profile and distinguished from the genus Aestuariibacter by the differences of major isoprenoid quinone (MK-7 vs Q-8) and DNA G+C content (40.8–43.0 mol% vs 48.0–54.0 mol%).

A novel, Gram-stain-positive bacterium, designated strain EX-07T, was isolated from seujeot (Korean traditional food). The strain was aerobic, halotolerant and non-motile; it formed cocci that grouped into tetrads and sarcinae or formed irregular conglomerates. Growth occurred at pH 7–9, at 10–37 °C and with up to 9 % NaCl. Isolate EX-07T was catalase- and oxidase-negative and used sugars and organic acids as carbon sources. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the novel strain showed 94.2–94.5 % similarity with the type strains of Trichococcus pasteurii , Trichococcus patagoniensis , Trichococcus collinsii , Trichococcus flocculiformis and Trichococcus palustris and only 92.2 % with representatives of the genera Bavariicoccus , Carnobacterium and Granulicatella . Sequence similarities based on the groEL gene ranged from 81.3 to 82.8 % between the novel isolate and the type strains of all species of the genus Trichococcus , and only 74.2 and 75.3 % with type strains of members of the genera Bavariicoccus and Granulicatella , respectively. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 39.6 mol%. The predominant fatty acids were C16 : 1ω9c, C18 : 1ω9c, C16 : 0 and C14 : 0. The polar lipid profile was very complex and included phosphatidylethanolamine and several unidentified aminolipids, glycolipids and phospholipids. Based on the genotypic and phenotypic results obtained in this study, it is proposed that isolate EX-07T represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Carnobacteriaceae for which the name Jeotgalibaca dankookensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Jeotgalibaca dankookensis is EX-07T ( = KCCM 90229T = JCM 19215T).

The Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, oxidase- and catalase-positive, rod-shaped yellow-coloured bacterial strain MG-N-17T was isolated from a water sample of Lake Fertő/Neusiedler See (Hungary). Results of phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the strain forms a distinct linage within the family Verrucomicrobiaceae of the phylum Verrucomicrobia , and its closest relatives are Verrucomicrobium spinosum DSM 4136T (94.38 %) and Roseimicrobium gellanilyticum DC2a-G7T (91.55 %). The novel bacterial strain prefers a weak alkaline environment and grows optimally between 22–28 °C in the absence of NaCl. The major isoprenoid quinones are MK-10, MK-11, MK-12 and MK-9. The major cellular fatty acids are anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, C16 : 1ω5c and iso-C14 : 0. The polar lipid profile contains phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified phospholipids and four unidentified glycolipids. The assembled draft genome of strain MG-N-17T had 44 contigs with an N50 value 348255 nt, 56.5× genome coverage, total length of 5 910 933 bp and G+C content of 56.9 mol%. Strain MG-N-17T (=DSM 106674T=NCAIM B.02643T) is proposed as the type strain of a new genus and species in the family Verrucomicrobiaceae , for which the name Phragmitibacter flavus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed.

Emended Description

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile and yellow-pigmented bacterial strain, designated strain JJ013T, was isolated from an artificial lake in Jeollabuk-do, South Korea, and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain JJ013T indicated that the isolate belonged to the family Flavobacteriaceae and exhibited similarity levels of 96.6 % to the type strains of Flavobacterium cheonanense and Flavobacterium koreense and 96.5 % to the type strain of Flavobacterium chungnamense . Growth was observed at 20–30 °C and pH 5.0–7.0. The major cellular fatty acids of the novel strain were iso-C15 : 0 (27.5 %), iso-C15 : 1 G (17.8 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (9.4 %) and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH (9.2 %). Flexirubin-type pigments were present. The DNA G+C content of strain JJ013T was 33.9 mol%, the major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6 (MK-6) and the major polyamine was sym-homospermidine. The polar lipid profile of the strain JJ013T consisted of a phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), two unknown aminolipids (AL1–2), three unidentified lipid (L1–3) and an unknown glycolipid (GL). On the basis of the morphological and physiological properties and biochemical evidence presented, it is concluded that strain JJ013T represents a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium , for which the name Flavobacterium aciduliphilum sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is JJ013T ( = KACC 16594T = JCM 18211T). Since C15 : 0, which is known as a predominant fatty acid of the genus Flavobacterium was not detected in the novel strain and other reference strains, we propose an emended description of the genus Flavobacterium .

A novel bacterium, designated strain JchiT, was isolated from soil in Taiwan and characterized using a polyphasic approach. Cells of strain JchiT were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, motile and rod-shaped. They contained poly-β-hydroxybutyrate granules and formed dark-yellow colonies. Growth occurred at 20–37 °C (optimum between 25 and 30 °C), at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum between pH 7.0 and pH 8.0) and with 0–2 % NaCl (optimum between 0 and 1 %). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain JchiT belonged to the genus Jeongeupia and that its closest neighbour was Jeongeupia naejangsanensis BIO-TAS4-2T (98.0 % sequence similarity). The major fatty acids (>10 %) of strain JchiT were summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), C16 : 0 and C18 : 1ω7c. The major cellular hydroxy fatty acid was C12 : 0 3-OH. The isoprenoid quinone was Q-8 and the genomic DNA G+C content was 66.1 mol%. The polar lipid profile consisted of a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine and two unidentified phospholipids. The DNA–DNA relatedness value between strain JchiT and J. naejangsanensis BIO-TAS4-2T was about 41.0 %. On the basis of the genotypic and phenotypic data, strain JchiT represents a novel species in the genus Jeongeupia , for which the name Jeongeupia chitinilytica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JchiT ( = BCRC 80367T  = KCTC 23701T).
