A moderately halophilic bacteria designed strain D34 was isolated from the culture medium of green microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta. The isolate was Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, approximately 0.45–0.60 mm wide and 1.25–5.10 mm long, occuring singly, non-motile, and flagellum- less. Colonies on solid media are cream, circular, and smooth. This strain was able to produce exopolysaccharide, poly hydroxybutyrate, oxidase and catalase positive. Growth occurred in a temparature range of 20–40°C, a salts concentration of 0.1–25% (w/v), and pH range 6–12. The major fatty acids were C16:0 (35.59%), C16:1w-7 (20.54%), C18: 1w-7 (30.14%), and C12:0 (10.03% of total fatty acids). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain D34 belonged to the genus Halomonas. The highest levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity were found between the strain D34 and H. aquamarina (sequence similarity 98.6 %).Pyruvate, a central intermediate in metabolism processes in all organisms, is widely used for the synthesis of various chemicals and polymers as well as ingredient or additive in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. In this study, pyruvate production by strain D34 following changes in culture medium, glucose and nitrate concentrations and culture temperature were also studied. In 84 hours of batch- cultivation, pyruvate production by wild-type Halomonas sp. D34 reached 37.24 g/L at 37°C with 20% glucose and 30 g/L sodium nitrate adding to SOT medium. These data provided evidences for pyruvate production using novel wild-type strains.

Two Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming and moderately halophilic bacteria (strains 28-1T, 28-4), isolated from a soil sample from a neutral salt lake in Xin-Jiang, China, were characterized polyphasically. On the basis of fasta (ungapped) analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences, strains 28-1T and 28-4 were shown to belong to the Bacillaceae and to be closely related to Filobacillus milensis DSM 13259T (97·0 %) and Bacillus haloalkaliphilus DSM 5271T (95·7 %). 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with other recognized species was not more than 94·1 %. Phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic, physiological and biochemical data supported the differentiation of these novel strains from F. milensis and B. haloalkaliphilus. Therefore these two previously unidentified strains are considered to represent a new genus and species, for which the name Tenuibacillus multivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 28-1T (=AS 1.3442T=NBRC 100370T).

A moderately halophilic and alkalitolerant bacterium, designated strain HN30T, was isolated from garden soil in Japan. Cells of strain HN30T were motile, endospore-forming, aerobic, rod-shaped and Gram-positive, and contained A1γ meso-diaminopimelic acid-type murein. Growth occurred in 7–23 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 10–15 %, w/v), at pH 6.5–10.0 (optimum, pH 8.0–8.5) and at 20–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C). The isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone-7. The polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and C16 : 0. The DNA G+C content of strain HN30T was 47 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HN30T was most closely related to Geomicrobium halophilum BH1T (93 % sequence similarity). 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with other recognized species were less than 89 %. Phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics indicated that strain HN30T represents a novel species in a new genus, for which the name Natribacillus halophilus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is HN30T ( = JCM 15649T = DSM 21771T).

Thirteen bacterial isolates from lake sediment, capable of degrading cyanobacterial hepatotoxins microcystins and nodularin, were characterized by phenotypic, genetic and genomic approaches. Cells of these isolates were Gram-negative, motile by means of a single polar flagellum, oxidase-positive, weakly catalase-positive and rod-shaped. According to phenotypic characteristics (carbon utilization, fatty acid and enzyme activity profiles), the G+C content of the genomic DNA (66·1–68·0 mol%) and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis (98·9–100 % similarity) the strains formed a single microdiverse genospecies that was most closely related to Roseateles depolymerans (95·7–96·3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). The isolates assimilated only a few carbon sources. Of the 96 carbon sources tested, Tween 40 was the only one used by all strains. The strains were able to mineralize phosphorus from organic compounds, and they had strong leucine arylamidase and chymotrypsin activities. The cellular fatty acids identified from all strains were C16 : 0 (9·8–19 %) and C17 : 1 ω7c (<1–5·8 %). The other predominant fatty acids comprised three groups: summed feature 3 (<1–2·2 %), which included C14 : 0 3-OH and C16 : 1 iso I, summed feature 4 (54–62 %), which included C16 : 1 ω7c and C15 : 0 iso OH, and summed feature 7 (8·5–28 %), which included ω7c, ω9c and ω12t forms of C18 : 1. A more detailed analysis of two strains indicated that C16 : 1 ω7c was the main fatty acid. The phylogenetic and phenotypic features separating our strains from recognized bacteria support the creation of a novel genus and species, for which the name Paucibacter toxinivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 2C20T (=DSM 16998T=HAMBI 2767T=VYH 193597T).

Four Gram-negative, orange-coloured, aerobic, heterotrophic bacteria were isolated from sediment samples collected on the Pacific coast of Japan near the cities of Toyohashi and Katsuura. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that these strains form a distinct lineage within the family Flavobacteriaceae. The four isolates shared 99.9–100 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with each other and showed 88–90.9 % similarity with their neighbours in the family Flavobacteriaceae. The four strains also shared high DNA–DNA reassociation values of 67–99 % with each other. All the strains grew at 37 °C but not at 4 °C, and degraded gelatin, starch and DNA. The major fatty acids were i-C15 : 0, a-C15 : 0, i-C16 : 0 and i-C17 : 0 3-OH. However, two common fatty acids of members of the Flavobacteriaceae, i-C15 : 1 and a-C15 : 1, were absent in these strains. The DNA G+C contents of the four strains were in the range 35–37 mol%. On the basis of the polyphasic evidence, it was concluded that these strains should be classified as a novel genus and a novel species in the family Flavobacteriaceae, for which the name Sandarakinotalea sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Sandarakinotalea sediminis is CKA-5T (=NBRC 100970T=LMG 23247T).

A water sample from the North Sea was used to isolate the abundant heterotrophic bacteria that are able to grow on complex marine media. Isolation was by serial dilution and spread plating. Phylogenetic analysis of nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that one of the strains, HEL-45T, had 97·4 % sequence similarity to Sulfitobacter mediterraneus and 96·5 % sequence similarity to Staleya guttiformis. Strain HEL-45T is a Gram-negative, non-motile rod and obligate aerobe and requires sodium and 1–7 % sea salts for growth. It contains storage granules and does not produce bacteriochlorophyll. Optimal growth temperatures are 25–30 °C. The DNA base composition (G+C content) is 60·1 mol%. Strain HEL-45T has Q10 as the dominant respiratory quinone. The major polar lipids are phosphatidyl glycerol, diphosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine and an aminolipid. The fatty acids comprise 18 : 1ω7c, 18 : 0, 16 : 1ω7c, 16 : 0, 3-OH 10 : 0, 3-OH 12 : 1 (or 3-oxo 12 : 0) and traces of an 18 : 2 fatty acid. Among the hydroxylated fatty acids only 3-OH 12 : 1 (or 3-oxo 12 : 0) appears to be amide linked, whereas 3-OH 10 : 0 appears to be ester linked. The minor fatty acid components (between 1 and 7 %) allow three subgroups to be distinguished in the Sulfitobacter/Staleya clade, placing HEL-45T into a separate lineage characterized by the presence of 3-OH 12 : 1 (or 3-oxo 12 : 0) and both ester- and amide-linked 16 : 1ω7c phospholipids. HEL-45T produces indole and derivatives thereof, several cyclic dipeptides and thryptanthrin. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences and chemotaxonomic data support the description of a new genus and species, to include Oceanibulbus indolifex gen. nov., sp. nov., with the type strain HEL-45T (=DSM 14862T=NCIMB 13983T).

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic and rod-shaped motile bacterium with peritrichous flagella, designated strain LZB041T, was isolated from offshore surface seawater of the East China Sea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain LZB041T formed a lineage within the family ‘ Aurantimonadaceae ’ that was distinct from the most closely related genera Aurantimonas (96.0–96.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Aureimonas (94.5–96.0 %). Optimal growth occurred in the presence of 1–7 % (w/v) NaCl, at pH 7.0–8.0 and at 28–37 °C. Ubiquinone-10 was the predominant respiratory quinone. The major fatty acids (>10 % of total fatty acids) were C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c (summed feature 8) and cyclo-C19 : 0ω8c. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, one unknown aminolipid, one unknown phospholipid and one unknown polar lipid. The DNA G+C content of strain LZB041T was 71.3 mol%. On the basis of polyphasic analysis, strain LZB041T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus in the class Alphaproteobacteria , for which the name Jiella aquimaris gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is LZB041T ( = JCM 30119T = MCCC 1K00255T).

A moderately halophilic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium (BH030004T) was isolated from a solar saltern in Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain BH030004T belonged to the genus Pontibacillus. Chemotaxonomic data (DNA G+C content, 42 mol%; major isoprenoid quinone, MK-7; cell-wall type, A1γ-type meso-diaminopimelic acid; major fatty acids, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0) also supported the affiliation of the isolate to the genus Pontibacillus. Although the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain BH030004T and Pontibacillus chungwhensis DSM 16287T was relatively high (99·1 %), physiological properties and DNA–DNA hybridization (about 7 % DNA–DNA relatedness) allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain BH030004T from the type strain of P. chungwhensis. Therefore, strain BH030004T represents a novel species of the genus Pontibacillus, for which the name Pontibacillus marinus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BH030004T (=KCTC 3917T=DSM 16465T).

A novel Tenacibaculum-like bacterial strain, SMK-4T, was isolated from a tidal flat sediment in Korea. Strain SMK-4T was Gram-negative, pale yellow-pigmented and rod-shaped. It grew optimally at 30–37 °C and in the presence of 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl. It contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 3-OH and C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH as the major fatty acids (>10 % of total fatty acids). The DNA G+C content was 33.6 mol%. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SMK-4T fell within the evolutionary radiation encompassed by the genus Tenacibaculum. Strain SMK-4T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity levels of 95.2–98.6 % with respect to the type strains of recognized Tenacibaculum species. DNA–DNA relatedness levels and differential phenotypic properties made it possible to categorize strain SMK-4T as a species that is separate from previously described Tenacibaculum species. On the basis of phenotypic properties and phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, strain SMK-4T (=KCTC 12569T=JCM 13491T) should be classified as a novel Tenacibaculum species, for which the name Tenacibaculum aestuarii sp. nov. is proposed.

Two aerobic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterial strains, 5YN10-14T and GR21-5T, were isolated from the Yongneup wetland and ginseng soil in Korea, respectively. The two strains formed ellipsoidal or oval spores positioned centrally or paracentrally in swollen sporangia. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, these strains were related to members of the genus Cohnella. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains 5YN10-14T and GR21-5T was 95.9 %. Strains 5YN10-14T and GR21-5T showed, respectively, 94.3 and 95.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Cohnella thermotolerans CCUG 47242T, 94.6 and 94.4 % to Cohnella hongkongensis HKU3T, 94.7 and 94.7 % to Cohnella laeviribosi RI-39T, and 95.4 and 94.8 % to Cohnella phaseoli GSPC1T. The major fatty acids of strain 5YN10-14T were anteiso-C15 : 0 (51.1 %), iso-C16 : 0 (18.5 %) and C16 : 0 (13.2 %), and the major fatty acids of strain GR21-5T were anteiso-C15 : 0 (48.9 %), iso-C16 : 0 (15.0 %) and iso-C15 : 0 (12.2 %). The two strains contained menaquinone with seven isoprene units (MK-7) as the predominant quinone, and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine as major polar lipids; however, strain 5YN10-14T also contained lysylphosphatidylglycerol as a major polar lipid, whereas strain GR21-5T had an unknown aminophospholipid as another major polar lipid. The DNA G+C contents of strains 5YN10-14T and GR21-5T were 58.8 and 61.3 mol%, respectively. Based on the results of the phylogenetic and phenotypic data presented, it was concluded that the two strains represent two novel species of the genus Cohnella, for which the names Cohnella yongneupensis sp. nov. (type strain 5YN10-14T=KACC 11768T=DSM 18998T) and Cohnella ginsengisoli sp. nov. (type strain GR21-5T=KACC 11771T=DSM 18997T) are proposed.

An aerobic, moderately halophilic, Gram-negative, motile, non-sporulating bacterium, strain LIT2T, was isolated from an oilfield-water injection after enrichment on crude oil. Strain LIT2T grew between 15 and 45 °C and optimally at 37 °C. It grew in the presence of 1–25 % (w/v) NaCl, with an optimum at 10 % (w/v) NaCl. Predominant fatty acids were C16 : 0 (26.9 %), C18 : 1 ω7c (22.6 %), C16 : 1 ω7c (20.4 %) C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (10.9 %) and C17 : 0 (8 %). Interestingly, the relative percentages of these last two fatty acids were intermediate compared with most species among the family Halomonadaceae for which fatty acid composition has been determined. The DNA G+C content was 53.7 mol%, which is very low among the family Halomonadaceae. Strain LIT2T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 94.06–95.15 % to members of the genus Chromohalobacter, 94.21–94.65 % to members of the genus Halomonas and 93.57 % with the single species representative of the genus Cobetia. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence presented in this paper, we propose the name Modicisalibacter tunisiensis gen. nov., sp. nov. to accommodate strain LIT2T. The type strain of Modicisalibacter tunisiensis is LIT2T (=CCUG 52917T =CIP 109206T). A reassignment of the descriptive 16S rRNA signature characteristics of the family Halomonadaceae permitted placement of the new genus Modicisalibacter into the family.
