A new coccoid cyanobacterium Aliterella vladivostokensis sp. nov. was described from an urban aerophytic habitat in a temperate monsoon climate (Vladivostok, Russia) using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences confirmed that our isolate was a member of the Aliterella genus clade. Aliterella species are hardly distinguishable from each other morphologically and were described from highly contrasting natural and artificial environments with only a few records from several continents. Despite high similarity of morphometric data for A. vladivostokensis and A. antarctica cells and a compensatory base change in the D1–D1′ helix shared by these species; high percent of dissimilarity (11.6±1.3) between their 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer sequences with at least 5 autapomorphic mutations in the D1–D1′ and Box-B helices, and distinct folding patterns of the Box-B helix allowed us to erect a new species.

Taxonomical Study

Three short spore chain-forming actinomycete strains were isolated from soil samples collected from subtropical islands in Japan. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of these strains contained meso-diaminopimelic acid (meso-A2pm), glutamic acid and alanine. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-9(H4), iso-C16 : 0 and 2-OH iso-C16 : 0 were the major cellular fatty acids and phosphatidylethanolamine was a component of the polar lipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 67–69 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel strains consistently formed a monophyletic cluster with Amycolatopsis taiwanensis. On the basis this polyphasic taxonomical study, it is proposed that the two new isolates represent two novel species: Amycolatopsis helveola (type strain TT00-43T=NBRC 103394T=KCTC 19329T) and Amycolatopsis pigmentata (type strain TT99-32T=NBRC 103392T=KCTC 19330T).

The 16S Rrna Gene

Strain 43PT was isolated as an l-glucose-utilizing bacterium from soil in Japan. Cells of the strain were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and non-motile cocci. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain showed high similarity to that of Paracoccus limosus (98.5 %). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that this strain belongs to the genus Paracoccus. Strain 43PT contained Q-10 as the sole isoprenoid quinone. The major cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c or C18 : 1ω6c and C16 : 0, and C18 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c, C10 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 2 were detected as minor components. The DNA G+C content of strain 43PT was 64.1 mol%. Strain 43PT contained the major polar lipids phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, an unknown aminolipid and two unknown glycolipids. The DNA–DNA relatedness between strain 43PT and the six related type strains of the genus Paracoccus, including P. limosus, was below 23 %. Based on the chemotaxonomic and physiological data and the values of DNA–DNA relatedness, especially the ability to assimilate l-glucose, this strain should be classified as a representative of a novel species of the genus Paracoccus, for which the name Paracoccus laeviglucosivorans sp. nov. (type strain 43PT = JCM 30587T = DSM 100094T) is proposed.

Two Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, motile and helical-shaped bacterial strains, K92T and K93, were isolated from sludge from a dye works in Korea, and their taxonomic positions were investigated by means of a polyphasic approach. Strains K92T and K93 grew optimally at 37 °C and pH 7.0–8.0 in the presence of 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. They contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c as the major fatty acid. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified amino-group-containing lipids that were ninhydrin-positive. Their DNA G+C contents were 70.0 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of K92T and K93 showed no differences, and the two strains had a mean DNA–DNA relatedness of 93 %. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains K92T and K93 formed a distinct evolutionary lineage within the Alphaproteobacteria. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains K92T and K93 exhibited similarity values of less than 91.5 % with respect to the 16S rRNA gene sequences of other members of the Alphaproteobacteria. The two strains were distinguishable from phylogenetically related genera through differences in several phenotypic properties. On the basis of the phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strains K92T and K93 represent a novel genus and species, for which the name Caenispirillum bisanense gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Caenispirillum bisanense is K92T (=KCTC 12839T=JCM 14346T).

Six halo-acidophilic archaeal strains were isolated from four commercial salt samples obtained from seawater in the Philippines, Indonesia (Bali) and Japan (Okinawa) on agar plates at pH 4.5. Cells of the six strains were pleomorphic, and stained Gram-negative. Two strains were pink–red pigmented, while four other strains were orange–pink pigmented. Strain MH1-16-3T was able to grow at 9–30 % (w/v) NaCl [with optimum at 18 % (w/v) NaCl], at pH 4.5–6.8 (optimum, pH 5.5) and at 20–50 °C (optimum, 42 °C). The five other strains grew at slightly different ranges. The six strains required at least 1 mM Mg2+ for growth. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the six strains were almost identical, sharing 99.9 (1–2 nt differences) to 100 % similarity. The closest relatives were Halarchaeum acidiphilum MH1-52-1T and Halarchaeum salinum MH1-34-1T with 97.7 % similarity. The DNA G+C contents of the six strains were 63.2–63.7 mol%. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness amongst the six strains were 79–86 %, while those between MH1-16-3T and H. acidiphilum MH1-52-1T and H. salinum MH1-34-1T were both 43 and 45 % (reciprocally), respectively. Based on the phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic analyses, it is proposed that the six isolates represent a novel species of the genus Halarchaeum , for which the name Halarchaeum rubridurum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MH1-16-3T ( = JCM 16108T = CECT 7535T).

A Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, slightly halophilic bacterial strain, DSW-5T, was isolated from seawater off Dokdo, Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. It grew optimally at 25–28 °C and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain DSW-5T contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids detected were phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified phospholipids and an amino-group-containing lipid. The DNA G+C content was 30.0 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain DSW-5T was most closely related to the genus Polaribacter. Similarity values between the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain DSW-5T and the type strains of recognized Polaribacter species were in the range 96.2–96.8 %. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain DSW-5T (=KCTC 12392T=DSM 17204T) was classified in the genus Polaribacter as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Polaribacter dokdonensis sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, DS-44T, was isolated from soil from Dokdo in Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. It grew optimally at 25 °C and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain DS-44T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 49·0 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain DS-44T belongs to the genus Algoriphagus of the phylum Bacteroidetes. Similarity values between the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain DS-44T and those of the type strains of recognized Algoriphagus species were in the range 93·8–95·7 %, making it possible to categorize strain DS-44T as a species that is separate from previously described Algoriphagus species. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain DS-44T (=KCTC 12545T=CIP 108837T) was classified in the genus Algoriphagus as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Algoriphagus terrigena sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium, DS-139T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from Dokdo, Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic analysis. Strain DS-139T grew optimally at 25 °C and pH 6.5–7.5 in the presence of 0–0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. It contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 39.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain DS-39T belongs to the genus Pedobacter in the family Sphingobacteriaceae. The similarity values between the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain DS-139T and those of the type strains of recognized Pedobacter species, except Pedobacter saltans, were in the range 93.9–96.7 %. The differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic distinctiveness, were sufficient to assign strain DS-139T to a species that is separate from recognized Pedobacter species. On the basis of the phenotypic and phylogenetic data, therefore, strain DS-139T represents a novel species of the genus Pedobacter, for which the name Pedobacter insulae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DS-139T (=KCTC 12820T =DSM 18684T).

Microorganisms of subaerial biofilms, which develop on the surface of stone monuments, have been widely studied due to their impact on Cultural Heritage deterioration. Nevertheless, these extremophile microorganisms are poorly characterised. In this study, a cyanobacterial strain isolated from an archaeological zone in north-central Mexico was characterised through a polyphasic study based on ecological, morphological, and molecular data. Phylogenetic analyses were done using sequences of the 16S rRNA gene and the 16S-23S ITS region. Based on the polyphasic data, a new species corresponding to the genus Nodosilinea is described. This alkaliphilic species has optimum growth at pH of 9. Its fatty acid profile indicates that C18:1, 9E and C16:0 are its most abundant fatty acids. Extracellular polymeric substance production was verified on this strain. Only a few species of the genus Nodosilinea have been documented and described, and this is the first report of their presence in central Mexico. Hence the name Nodosilinea chupicuarensis sp. nov. is proposed.

The taxonomic position of three strains from water, soil and lettuce samples was studied by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The strains were reported to lack the virulence-encoding genes inv and virF in a previous study. Controversially, API 20 E and some other phenotypic tests suggested that the strains belong to Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, which prompted this polyphasic taxonomic study. In both the phylogenetic analyses of four housekeeping genes (glnA, gyrB, recA and HSP60) and numerical analyses of HindIII and EcoRI ribopatterns, the strains formed a separate group within the genus Yersinia. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strains were related to Yersinia aldovae and Yersinia mollaretii, but DNA–DNA hybridization analysis differentiated them from these species. Based on the results of the phylogenetic and DNA–DNA hybridization analyses, a novel species, Yersinia pekkanenii sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is ÅYV7.1KOH2T ( = DSM 22769T  = LMG 25369T).

A novel, Gram-reaction-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterial strain, designated NAL101T, was isolated from gajami-sikhae, a traditional Korean fermented seafood made of flatfish. Growth occurred at 4–45 °C, at pH 5–10 and in 0–12 % (w/v) NaCl. Optimum growth occurred at 30–37 °C, at pH 8 and in 0–1 % (w/v) NaCl. The cell-wall amino acids were 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, alanine, glycine, threonine and glutamic acid and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The predominant menaquinone was MK-11. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unknown glycolipid. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain NAL101T showed 97.7 % similarity to that of Leucobacter chironomi MM2LBT, its closest relative. The DNA G+C content was 68.8 mol% and DNA–DNA hybridization values with closely related strains were <22 %. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences as well as differences in its physiological and biochemical characteristics indicated that strain NAL101T represents a novel species of the genus Leucobacter in the family Microbacteriaceae, for which the name Leucobacter celer sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NAL101T ( = KACC 14220T  = JCM 16465T).
