Abstract A Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain TRM 85114 T , was isolated from Jincaotan wetland in Pamir Plateau, PR China. According to the study, we found it have an ability to degrade 1-naphthylamine. Strain TRM 85114 T grow at 4-35 ℃ (optimum, 30 ℃), pH of 6.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 6.0) and can tolerate 1%-10% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 3%). Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain TRM 85114 T was affiliated of the genus Halomonas , sharing high sequence similarity (97.3%) with the type strain of Halomonas korlensis XK1 T . The primary cellular fatty acids of strain TRM 85114 T were C 16:0 and C 19:0 cyclo ω 8 c . The predominate respiratory quinone was Q-9. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, lyso-phospatidylglycerol, phospholipids of unknown structure containing glucosarmine, and five unidentified lipids. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain TRM 85114 T was 61.6 mol%. Calculated the average nucleotide identities and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain TRM 85114 T and the related type Halomonas strains further revealed that TRM 85114 T represented a novel species of the genus Halomonas , for which the name Halomonas jincaotanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TRM 85114 T (CCTCC AB 2021006 T =LMG 32311 T ).

A Gram-staining-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped, nitrogen-fixing bacterial strain, designated TULL-AT, was isolated from a farmland soil sample in Yixing, China. The optimal conditions for growth were 30 °C, pH 7.0–8.0 and 0 % (w/v) NaCl. Q8 was the dominant respiratory quinone and the major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and aminophospholipid. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain TULL-AT was most closely related to Mangrovibacter plantisponsor MSSRF40T (99.6 %), followed by Salmonella enterica subsp. diarizonae DSM 14847T (96.8 %) and Cronobacter condimenti 1330T (96.8 %). Sequence analysis of the genes rpoB, gyrB and hsp60 revealed that those of strain TULL-AT also exhibit high sequence similarity with those of the species M. plantisponsor MSSRF40T (95.5, 94.1 and 93.4 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was 52 mol%. The major fatty acids of strain TULL-AT were C16 : 0, C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c, C18 : 1ω7c /C18 : 1ω6c, C14 : 0, C14 : 0 3-OH/iso-C16 : 1 I and iso-C17 : 1 I and/or anteiso-C17 : 1 B. Strain TULL-AT showed low DNA–DNA relatedness with M. plantisponsor MSSRF40T (35.10 ± 1.41 %). Based on the multiple genotypic and phenotypic data, strain TULL-AT is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Mangrovibacter, for which the name Mangrovibacter yixingensis sp. nov. is proposed.

A novel bacterial strain, designated as HN-E44T, was isolated from marine sponge collected from Yangpu Bay, Hainan, PR China. Strain HN-E44T was Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, rod-shaped and yellow-pigmented. Growth occurred at 4–37 °C (optimum, 28 °C), at pH 6–8 (pH 7) and in 0.5–14 % (w/v) NaCl (3–5 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HN-E44T formed an independent cluster with Marixanthomonas ophiurae JCM 14121T within the family Flavobacteriaceae and had the highest sequence similarity of 93.6 % to the closest type strain M. ophiurae JCM 14121T. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c) and iso-C15 : 1 G. The polar lipids comprised phosphatidylethanolamine, sphingolipid, four unidentified phospholipids, an unidentified aminophospholipid and an unidentified lipid. The respiratory quinone was identified as MK-6. The genomic DNA G+C content was determined to be 40.6 mol%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and average amino acid identity (AAI) values between strain HN-E44T and closest type strain M. ophiurae JCM 14121T were, respectively, 79.6 and 85.2 %, both of which were below thresholds for species delineation (95–96 % ANI and 95–96 % AAI), but were over thresholds for genus delineation (73.98 % ANI and 70–76 % AAI). The combined genotypic and phenotypic distinctiveness demonstrated that strain HN-E44T could be differentiated from closely related genera. Therefore, it is proposed that strain HN-E44T represents a novel species of the genus Marixanthomonas , for which the name Marixanthomonas spongiae sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain HN-E44T (=MCCC 1K03332T=LMG 30459T).

Two strains of Gram-reaction-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, non-motile, aerobic bacteria, designated LW30T and LW29, were isolated from the rhizosphere of a wetland reed in Dongtan, Chongming Island, China. The strains formed pale-yellow colonies on R2A plates. Growth occurred at 4–37 °C (optimum 30 °C), at pH 6–9 (optimum pH 7–8) and in the presence of 0–3 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0–1 %). Oxidase and catalase activities and flexirubin-type pigments were absent. MK-6 was the major respiratory quinone. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G and iso-C17 : 1 ω9c. Strains LW30T and LW29 could be differentiated from related species by several phenotypic characteristics. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences placed strains LW30T and LW29 in the genus Flavobacterium with high sequence similarity to Flavobacterium cheniae NJ-26T (94.0 %) and Flavobacterium indicium GPTSA 100-9T (93.9 %). Together with F. indicium GPTSA 100-9T, strains LW30T and LW29 formed a distinct group in the phylogenetic tree. The DNA G+C content was 30 mol%. On the basis of the phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, strains LW30T and LW29 represent a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium, for which the name Flavobacterium dongtanense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LW30T (=KCTC 22671T =CCTCC AB 209201T).
