A yellow-coloured bacterium, designated strain JGD-16T, was isolated from a tidal flat in Janggu-do, Garorim Bay, Taean-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, Republic of Korea. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-flagellated and short ovoid to coccoid-shaped. Growth was observed at 10–37 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 6.0–9.0 (pH 8.0) and with 1–5% (w/v) NaCl (2%). Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain JGD-16T was closely related to Altererythrobacter xiamenensis LY02T (97.1 %), Altererythrobacter aurantiacus O30T (96.3 %), Altererythrobacter ishigakiensis JPCCMB0017T (95.8 %), Altererythrobacter epoxidivorans JCS350T (95.7 %) and Altererythrobacter insulae BPTF-M16T (95.3%). Phylogenomic analysis using the maximum-likelihood algorithm showed that strain JGD-16T formed a clade with the genus Altererythrobacter . The genomic DNA G+C content was 57.8 mol%. The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, a sphingoglycolipid, an unidentified glycolipid and an unidentified lipid. The major fatty acids were C18:1 ω7c (31.5 %) and C18:3 ω6c (19.6 %). On the basis of its phylogenomic, physiological and chemotaxonomical characteristics, strain JGD-16T represents a novel species within the genus Altererythrobacter , for which the name Altererythrobacter lutimaris JGD-16Tsp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JGD-16T (=KCTC 72632T=KACC 21405T=JCM 33750T). We also propose the reclassification of Altererythrobacter deserti as Tsuneonella deserti comb. nov., Altererythrobacter estronivorus as Croceicoccus estronivorus comb. nov. and Altererythrobacter muriae as Alteripontixanthobacter muriae comb. nov.

A Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped (1.8–4.4×0.5–0.7 µm) and motile marine bacterium, designated as MEBiC13590T, was isolated from tidal flat sediment sampled at Incheon City, on the west coast of the Republic of Korea. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain MEBiC13590T showed high similarity to Oricola cellulosilytica CC-AMH-0T (98.2 %), followed by Oceaniradius stylonematis StC1T (97.5 %); however, it clustered with Oricola cellulosilytica . The phylogenomic tree inferred by the up-to-date bacterial core gene set suggested that strain MEBiC13590T shared a phyletic line with Oricola cellulosilytica . Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values (75.0 and 19.3 %, respectively) between strain MEBiC13590T and Oricola cellulosilytica CC-AMH-0T were below the respective species delineation cutoffs. Growth was observed at 22–50 °C (optimum, 45 °C), at pH 5–9 (optimum, pH 7) and with 1–6 % (optimum, 3 %) NaCl. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0 (7.6 %), C18 : 0 (12.2 %), 11-methyl C18 : 1 ω7c (5.7 %), C19 : 0 cyclo ω6c and summed feature 8 (comprising C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c; 38 %). The DNA G+C content was 63.5 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was Q-10. Several phenotypic characteristics such as growth temperature, oxygen requirement, enzyme activities of urease, gelatinase, lipase (C14), α-chymotrypsin, acid phosphatase, β-galactosidase, β-glucosidase etc. differentiate strain MEBiC13590T from Oricola cellulosilytica CC-AMH-0T. Based on this polyphasic taxonomic data, strain MEBiC13590T should be classified as representing a novel species in the genus Oricola for which the name Oricola thermophila sp. nov. is proposed . The type strain is MEBiC13590T (=KCCM 43313T=JCM 33661T).

Mangrove Soil

A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped bacterial strain designated as 6D45AT was isolated from mangrove soil and characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain 6D45AT was found to grow at 10–37 °C (optimum, 28 °C), at pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum, 7.0) and in 0–5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2%). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain 6D45AT fell into the genus Salipiger and shared 99.1 % identity with the closest type strain Salipiger pacificus CGMCC 1.3455T and less than 97.2 % identity with other type strains of this genus. The 34.8 % digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) and 88.3 % average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strain 6D45AT and the closest relative above were well below recognized thresholds of 70 % DDH and 95–96 % ANI for species definition, implying that strain 6D45AT should represent a novel genospecies. The phylogenomic analysis indicated that strain 6D45AT formed an independent branch distinct from reference strains. The predominant cellular fatty acid of strain 6D45AT was summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω6c and/or C18 : 1  ω7c, 66.9 %); the polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified aminolipids, two unidentified glycolipids and an unknown lipid; the respiratory quinone was Q-10. The genomic DNA G+C content was 66.5 mol %. Based on the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain 6D45AT is concluded to represent a novel species of the genus Salipiger , for which the name Salipiger mangrovisoli sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain of the species is 6D45AT (=GDMCC 1.1960T=KCTC 82334T). We also propose the reclassification of Paraphaeobacter pallidus as Salipiger pallidus comb. nov. and ‘ Pelagibaca abyssi ’ as a species of the genus Salipiger .

Two marine bacterial strains, designated S2-4-21T and MT2-5-19, were isolated from two tidal flat sediments of cordgrass Spartina alterniflora and adjacent oyster culture field in Quanzhou bay, China, respectively. Both strains were Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped, non-flagellated, non-motile, aerobic, had NaCl requirements, and contained carotenoid and flexirubin pigments. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (99.8%), average nucleotide identity value (99.4%) and average amino acid identity (99.3%) between strain S2-4-21T and strain MT2-5-19 strongly supported that they belonged to a single species. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain S2-4-21T and strain MT2-5-19 formed a monophyletic branch affiliated to the family Flavobacteriaceae , sharing similarities of 94.6% with Euzebyella marina CY01T and E. saccharophila 7SM30T, and of 94.1 and 92.8% with E. algicola MEBiC 12267T and Pseudozobellia thermophile DSM 19858T, respectively. Phylogenomic analysis based on the whole genome sequences supported that the two strains formed a distinct monophyletic clade within Flavobacteriaceae members, which was phylogenetically different from the clades of Euzebyella and Pseudozobellia . The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone MK-6. The major fatty acids (>10%) consisted of C15 : 0 iso, C16 : 0, summed feature 9 (C17 : 1 iso ω9c/C16 : 0 10-methyl) and C17 : 0 iso 3-OH. The polar lipid profiles of strain S2-4-21T and strain MT2-5-19 are identical, including phosphatidylethanolamine, four unidentified aminolipids, and four unidentified lipids. The genomic size was 4.9–5.0 Mb with genomic DNA G+C content of 41.5 mol%. Based on the above characteristics, strains S2-4-21T and MT2-5-19 represented a novel species of a novel genus in the family Flavobacteriaceae . Thus, Pareuzebyella sediminis gen. nov. sp. nov. is proposed with type strain S2-4-21T (=MCCC 1K03818T=KCTC 72152T), and another strain MT2-5-19 (=KCTC 72539=MCCC 1K03874).

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).

Tidal Flat Sediment

A novel Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterial strain, designated as 4C16AT, was isolated from a tidal flat sediment and characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain 4C16AT was found to grow at 10–40 °C (optimum, 28 °C), at pH 5.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 6.0–7.0) and in 0–6 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain 4C16AT fell into the genus Roseibium , and shared the highest identity of 98.9 % with the closest type strain Roseibium suaedae KACC 13772T and less than 98.0 % identity with other type strains of recognized species within this genus. The phylogenomic analysis indicated that strain 4C16AT formed an independent branch within this genus. The 28.6 % digital DNA–DNA hybridization estimate and 85.0 % average nucleotide identity between strains 4C16AT and R. suaedae KACC 13772T were the highest, but still far below their respective threshold for species definition, implying that strain 4C16AT should represent a novel genospecies. The predominant cellular fatty acid was summed feature 8; the polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine; the respiratory quinones were Q-9 and Q-10. The genomic DNA G+C content was 59.8mol %. Based on phylogenetic analyses and phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain 4C16AT is concluded to represent a novel species of the genus Roseibium , for which the name Roseibium litorale sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the species is 4C16AT (=GDMCC 1.1932T=KACC 22078T). We also propose the reclassification of Labrenzia polysiphoniae as Roseibium polysiphoniae comb. nov. and ‘Labrenzia callyspongiae’ as Roseibium callyspongiae sp. nov.
