A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, milky white bacterium, designated B2012T, was isolated from mangrove sediment collected at Beibu Gulf, South China Sea. Antimicrobial activity assay revealed that the isolate possesses the capability of producing antibacterial compounds. Strain B2012T shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence relatedness (96.9–95.5 %) with members of the genus Acuticoccus . The isolate and all known Acuticoccus species contain Q-10 as the main respiratory quinone and have the same polar lipid components (phosphatidylcholine, unidentified glycolipid, unidentified lipid, unidentified amino lipid and phosphatidylglycerol). However, genomic relatedness referred by values of average nucleotide identity, digital DNA–DNA hybridization, average amino acid identity and the percentage of conserved proteins between strain B2012T and other type strains of the genus Acuticoccus were below the proposed thresholds for species discrimination. The genome of strain B2012T was assembled into 65 scaffolds with an N50 size of 244239 bp, resulting in a 5.5 Mb genome size. Eight secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters were detected in this genome, including three non-ribosomal peptide biosynthetic loci encoding yet unknown natural products. Strain B2012T displayed moderately halophilic and alkaliphilic properties, growing optimally at 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl concentration and at pH 8–9. The major cellular fatty acids (>10 %) were anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 dimethyl aldehyde (DMA) and C16 : 0. Combined data from phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses suggested that strain B2012T represents a novel species of the genus Acuticoccus , for which the name Acuticoccus mangrovi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is B2012T (=MCCC 1K04418T=KCTC 72962T).

A cream-coloured, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain KSC-6T, was isolated from soil sampled at the Gapcheon River watershed in Daejeon, Republic of Korea. The organism does not require NaCl for growth and grows at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and 10–37 °C (optimum, 25 °C). Phylogenetic trees based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences reveal that strain KSC-6T belongs to the family Chitinophagaceae within the order Chitinophagales and is most closely related to Panacibacter ginsenosidivorans Gsoil 1550T (95.9% similarity). The genomic DNA G+C content was 38.9 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids (>8 %) of strain KCS-6T were iso-C15:0, iso-C15 : 1 G and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 and the predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, five unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified lipids. Based on genome analyses, low digital DNA–DNA hybridization, average nucleotide identity and average amino acid identity values with closely related genera, and differential chemotaxonomic and physiological properties, we suggest that strain KCS-6T represents a novel species in a new genus in the family Chitinophagaceae , for which the name Limnovirga soli gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain KCS-6T=KCCM 43337T=NBRC 114336T) is proposed.

Streptomyces Glaucescens

Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences of the genus Streptomyces showed the presence of six distinguishable clusters, with 100 % sequence similarity values among strains in each cluster; thus they shared almost the same evolutionary distance. This result corroborated well with the outcome of core gene (orthologous gene clusters) based genome phylogeny analysis of 190 genomes including the Streptomyces species in those six clusters. These preeminent results led to an investigation of genome-based indices such as digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH), average nucleotide identity (ANI) and average amino acid identity (AAI) for the strains in those six clusters. Certain strains recorded genomic indices well above the threshold values (70 %, 95–96 % and >95 % for dDDH, ANI and AAI, respectively) determined for species affiliation, suggesting only one type strain belongs to described species and the other(s) may need to be reduced in taxa to a later heterotypic synonym. To conclude, the results of comprehensive analyses based on phylogenetic and genomic indices suggest that the following six reclassifications are proposed: Streptomyces flavovariabilis as a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces variegatus ; Streptomyces griseofuscus as a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces murinus ; Streptomyces kasugaensis as a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces celluloflavus ; Streptomyces luridiscabiei as a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces fulvissimus ; Streptomyces pharetrae as a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces glaucescens ; and Streptomyces stelliscabiei as a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces bottropensis .

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain SHC163T, which was isolated from the gut of Onchidium reevesii. The bacterium was Gram-stain-negative, oxidase-positive, catalase-negative and rod-shaped. Growth was observed at salinities of 0–4.0 % NaCl and at temperatures of 15–35 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain SHC163T belonged to the genus Jannaschia , with the highest sequence similarity to Jannaschia seosinensis CL-SP26T (97.9%), followed by Jannaschia faecimaris DSM 100420T (97.8 %), Jannaschia rubra CECT 5088T (97.5%) and eight species of the genus Jannaschia (94.7−97.1 %). The average amino acid identity, average nucleotide identity and the digital DNA–DNA hybridization estimate values between strain SHC163T and the type strains of the genus Jannaschia were 64.33−79.78 %, 71.0−78.4 % and 19.2−21.0%, respectively. The principal fatty acids (>5 %) were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c/C18 : 1  ω6c, 56.5 %), C18 : 1  ω7c 11-methyl (23.1 %), C18 : 0 (8.7 %). The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 67.8 mol%. The respiratory quinone was determined to be Q-10 (100 %). The polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid, an unidentified aminolipid and aminophospholipid. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data show that strain SHC163T represents a novel species within the genus Jannaschia , for which the name Jannaschia marina sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain SHC163T (=MCCC 1K04032T=KCTC 72524T).

An aerobic Gram-stain-negative, curved rod-shaped and non-spore-forming bacterial strain (NBU2194T) was isolated from seawater collected in an intertidal zone in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, PR China. It was motile though a single polar flagellum and grew at 20–42 °C (optimum, 30 °C), in 0–2.0 % NaCl (0 %, w/v) and at pH 5.0–9.0 (pH 6.0–7.0). The sole respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8. The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0, C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c. The polar lipids contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified phospholipid and two unidentified aminophosphoglycolipids. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and 65 genomic core genes showed that strain NBU2194T formed a distinct lineage in the family Alteromonadaceae . The genome of strain NBU2194T was 4 913 533 bp with a DNA G+C content of 43.9 mol% and coded 3895 genes, 12 rRNA genes and 47 tRNA genes. The average nucleotide identity, amino acid identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain NBU2194T and related species of Alteromonadaceae were below the threshold limit for prokaryotic species delineation. NBU2194T could be distinguished from other genera in the family Alteromonadaceae based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genomic characteristics. On the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic evidence collected in this study, strain NBU2194T is considered to represent a novel genus and species in the family Alteromonadaceae , for which the name Paraneptunicella aestuarii is proposed. The type strain is NBU2194T (=KCTC 82442T=GDMCC 1.2217T).
