Abstract A novel Gram-positive, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, orange-pigmented bacterial strain, designated R-1-5s-1T, was isolated from Baiyangdian Lake, China. Strain R-1-5s-1T grew at 15-37℃ (optimum 37℃) and pH 7-11 (optimum pH 8) in Luria-Bertani medium. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain R-1-5s-1T was assigned to the genus Jeotgalibacillus and showed the closest relationships with Jeotgalibacillus salarius ASL-1T (97.69%), Jeotgalibacillus alkaliphilus JC303T (97.29%), Jeotgalibacillus marinus DSM 1297T (97.15%), Jeotgalibacillus campisalis SF-57T (97.01%), and Jeotgalibacillus spp. (≤ 97%). The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol; the major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15:0, anteiso-C15:0, iso-C17:0, and anteiso-C17:0; and the major respiratory quinones were MK-7 and MK-8. The peptidoglycan type of the cell wall was A1a linked via L-lysine as the diamino acid. The G+C content was 43.6%, and the draft genome size of strain R-1-5s-1T was 3.4 Mbp. Between strain R-1-5s-1T and the related strain J. salarius ASL-1T, the ANI and dDDH relatedness values were 78.9% and 20.8%, respectively. Phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic, and genotypic analyses revealed that strain R-1-5s-1T is a novel species in the genus Jeotgalibacillus, for which the name Jeotgalibacillus auranticolor sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R-1-5s-1T (=CGMCC 1.13567T=KCTC 43038T).

A Gram-stain-variable, rod-shaped, non-motile and endospore-forming bacterium, designated strain HZ1T, was isolated from a sample of bank side soil from Hangzhou city, Zhejiang province, PR China. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain HZ1T was closely related to members of the genus Paenibacillus, sharing the highest levels of sequence similarity with Paenibacillus agarexedens DSM 1327T (94.4 %), Paenibacillus sputi KIT00200-70066-1T (94.4 %). Growth occurred at 15–42 °C (optimum 30–37 °C), pH 5.0–9.5 (optimum pH 7.0–8.0) and NaCl concentrations of up to 6.0 % (w/v) were tolerated (optimum 0.5 %). The dominant respiratory quinone was MK-7 and the DNA G+C content was 40.1 mol%. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The major polar lipids of strain HZ1T were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and several unknown lipids. The diagnostic diamino acid found in the cell-wall peptidoglycan was meso-diaminopimelic acid. Based on its phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics and phylogenetic data, strain HZ1T represents a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus ripae sp. nov. (type strain HZ1T = CCTCC AB 2014276T = LMG 28639T) is proposed.

Two bacterial strains, designated GH34-4T and GH41-7T, were isolated from greenhouse soil cultivated with cucumber. The bacteria were strictly aerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped and oxidase- and catalase-positive. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that these strains belong to the genus Lysobacter within the Gammaproteobacteria. Strain GH34-4T showed highest sequence similarity to Lysobacter yangpyeongensis GH19-3T (97.5 %) and Lysobacter koreensis Dae16T (96.4 %), and strain GH41-7T showed highest sequence similarity to Lysobacter antibioticus DSM 2044T (97.5 %), Lysobacter enzymogenes DSM 2043T (97.5 %) and Lysobacter gummosus ATCC 29489T (97.4 %). Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness indicated that strains GH34-4T and GH41-7T represented species clearly different from L. yangpyeongensis, L. antibioticus, L. enzymogenes and L. gummosus. The major cellular fatty acids of strains GH34-4T and GH41-7T were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1 ω9c, and the major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. The DNA G+C contents of GH34-4T and GH41-7T were 62.5 and 66.6 mol%, respectively. On the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic data presented, it is evident that each of these strains represents a novel species of the genus Lysobacter, for which the names Lysobacter niabensis sp. nov. (type strain GH34-4T=KACC 11587T=DSM 18244T) and Lysobacter niastensis sp. nov. (type strain GH41-7T=KACC 11588T=DSM 18481T) are proposed.

A novel Gram-stain-negative bacteria, designated S37T, was isolated from soil of the Xixi wetland, Zhejiang province, China. Cells of strain S37T were aerobic, non-motile rods. Growth occurred at 10–37 °C (optimum, 25 °C), pH 5.0–9.7 (optimum, pH 7.5) and with 0–6 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0.5 %). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain S37T was found to be a member of the genus Sphingobacterium and shared highest similarity with Sphingobacterium composti 4M24T (95.78 %). The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c), iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, and the DNA G+C content was 43.8 mol%. The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-7. Based on its phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics and phylogenetic data, strain S37T represents a novel species of the genus Sphingobacterium , for which the name Sphingobacterium paludis sp. nov. (type strain S37T = CGMCC 1.12801T = NBRC 110386T) is proposed.

Two halophilic archaea, strains EN-2T and SH-4, were isolated from the saline lakes Erliannor and Shangmatala, respectively, in Inner Mongolia, China. Cells were strictly aerobic, motile rods. Colonies were red. Strains EN-2T and SH-4 were able to grow at 25–50 °C (optimum 35–40 °C), with 2.5–5.0 M NaCl (optimum 3.4 M NaCl) and at pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum pH 7.5). MgCl2 was not required for growth. Cells lysed in distilled water and the lowest NaCl concentration that prevented cell lysis was 12 % (w/v). On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strains EN-2T and SH-4 were closely related to Halorubrum cibi B31T (97.9 and 98.0 % similarity, respectively), Hrr. tibetense 8W8T (97.3 and 97.7 %), Hrr. alkaliphilum DZ-1T (96.8 and 97.1 %), Hrr. luteum CGSA15T (96.8 and 97.0 %) and Hrr. lipolyticum 9-3T (96.8 and 97.0 %). DNA–DNA hybridization showed that strains EN-2T and SH-4 did not belong to the same species as any of these strains (≤45 % DNA–DNA relatedness) but that they are members of the same species (>70 % DNA–DNA relatedness). Polar lipid analysis revealed that strains EN-2T and SH-4 contained phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester, sulfated diglycosyl diethers and several unidentified glycolipids. The DNA G+C content of both isolates was 62.1 mol%. It was concluded that strains EN-2T and SH-4 represent a novel species of the genus Halorubrum, for which the name Halorubrum aquaticum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is EN-2T ( = CECT 7174T  = CGMCC 1.6377T  = JCM 14031T).

A Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, designated TR6-04T, was isolated from compost and characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. The organism grew optimally at 30 °C and at pH 6.5–7.0. The isolate was positive for catalase and oxidase tests but negative for gelatinase, indole and H2S production. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain TR6-04T fell within the radiation of the cluster comprising Sphingobacterium species and clustered with Sphingobacterium mizutaii ATCC 33299T (96.7 % sequence similarity); the similarity to sequences of other species within the family Sphingobacteriaceae was less than 92.0 %. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 38.7 mol%. The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-7. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 4 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c). These chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of strain TR6-04T to the genus Sphingobacterium. However, on the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain TR6-04T (=KCTC 12579T=LMG 23402T=CCUG 52468T) should be classified as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Sphingobacterium daejeonense sp. nov. is proposed.

Three novel bacterial strains were isolated from a soil sample collected in Japan by culture on a GPM agar plate supplemented with superoxide dismutase and catalase. The strains were Gram-positive, catalase-positive, non-motile bacteria with l-ornithine as a diagnostic diamino acid of the peptidoglycan. The acyl type of the peptidoglycan was N-glycolyl. The major menaquinones were MK-12, 13 and 14. Mycolic acids were not detected. G+C contents of the DNA were in the range 69–71 mol%. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the isolates belonged to the genus Microbacterium and were closely related to Microbacterium terregens, Microbacterium aurum, Microbacterium koreense, Microbacterium schleiferi and Microbacterium lacticum. However, M. aurum, M. koreense and M. lacticum clearly differed from the isolated strains based on the presence of l-lysine as the cell-wall diamino acid and various other chemotaxonomic characteristics. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness showed that the isolated strains represented three separate genomic species. Based on both phenotypic and genotypic data, the following novel species of the genus Microbacterium are proposed: Microbacterium deminutum sp. nov. (type strain KV-483T=NRRL B-24453T=NBRC 101278T), Microbacterium pumilum sp. nov. (type strain KV-488T=NRRL B-24452T=NBRC 101279T) and Microbacterium aoyamense sp. nov. (type strain KV-492T=NRRL B-24451T=NBRC 101280T).

A dark-pink-coloured bacterial strain, B4Y-8T, was isolated from a soil cultivated with ginseng. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of this strain showed highest similarity with Mucilaginibacter litoreus BR-18T (96.8 %), Mucilaginibacter lutimaris BR-3T (96.6 %) and Mucilaginibacter defluvii A5T (96.2 %) among the type strains of species of the genus Mucilaginibacter. Strain B4Y-8T was a strictly aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, short-rod-shaped bacterium producing a large amount of extracellular polymeric substance. The strain grew at 10–35 °C (optimum, 25 °C), at pH 3.0–11.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and in the presence of 0–1 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 %). The DNA G+C content of strain B4Y-8T was 49.0 mol%. It contained menaquinone 7 (MK-7) as the major isoprenoid quinone, and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c) and iso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids. On the basis of evidence from the present polyphasic taxonomic study, strain B4Y-8T should be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter, for which the name Mucilaginibacter ginsengisoli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is B4Y-8T ( = KACC 18152T = JCM 30759T).

Taxonomic studies were performed on an astaxanthin-dideoxyglycoside-producing strain, designated PB304T, isolated from soil near a pond in Daejeon city, South Korea. Cells of strain PB304T were Gram-staining-negative, strictly aerobic, orange-coloured and motile, and occurred as single or paired short chains. PB304T did not contain bacteriochlorophyll a. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain PB304T was closely related to ‘Sphingomonas humi’ KCTC 12341 (98.7 %), Sphingomonas kaistensis KCTC 12344T (97.9 %), Sphingomonas astaxanthinifaciens DSM 22298T (97.6 %) and Sphingomonas ginsengisoli KCTC 12630T (97.5 %). Analysis of pufLM gene sequences revealed strain PB304T to be closely related to ‘S. humi’ KCTC 12341 (88.1 %). The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0, summed feature 4 (comprising iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c), and summed feature 7 (comprising C18 : 1ω7c/ω9t/ω12t). Ubiquinone 10 (Q-10) was the sole quinone identified, and the major pigment was astaxanthin dideoxyglycoside. The major polar lipids were sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The polyamine was spermidine. The DNA–DNA relatedness values of strain PB304T with respect to its closest phylogenetic neighbours were 57.1 % for ‘S. humi’ KCTC 12341, 51.2 % for Sphingomonas kaistensis KCTC 12334T, 50.6 % for Sphingomonas astaxanthinifaciens DSM 22298T and 50.2 % for Sphingomonas ginsengisoli KCTC 12630T. The DNA G+C content of strain PB304T was 66.6 mol%. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain PB304T is concluded to represent a novel species of the genus Sphingomonas, for which the name Sphingomonas lacus is proposed. The type strain is PB304T ( = KCTC 32458T = CECT 8383T).

A novel strain of fermenting, aerotolerant, chemo-organoheterotrophic spirochaete designated PT was isolated from a sulfur ‘Thiodendron’ mat in a saline spring at the Staraya Russa resort (Novgorod Region, Russia). Cells of strain PT exhibited a helical shape. The spirochaete required sulfide in the growth medium and was able to oxidize it non-enzymically to elemental sulfur via the interaction of H2O2 with sulfide and deposit it in the periplasmic space. Growth occurred at 4–32 °C (optimum at 28–30 °C), pH 6.0–8.5 (optimum pH 7.0–7.5), and in 0.1–1 M NaCl (optimum 0.35 M). The isolate used several sugars and polysaccharides as carbon or energy sources but did not use peptides, amino acids, organic acids or alcohols. The products of glucose fermentation were formate, acetate, ethanol, pyruvate, CO2 and H2. The genomic DNA G+C content was 41.7 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain PT fell within a group of species in the genus Spirochaeta, including Spirochaeta litoralis, S. isovalerica and S. cellobiosiphila, with which it shared less then 89 % sequence similarity. On the basis of its morphology, physiology and other phenotypic properties, as well as its phylogenetic position, the new isolate is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Spirochaeta, for which the name Spirochaeta perfilievii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PT (=DSM 19205T =VKM B-2514T).

An orange-coloured, rod-shaped, non-motile, Gram-reaction-negative, strictly aerobic bacterial strain, designated JC2680T, was isolated from a seawater sample of Jeju Island, Korea. The isolate required sea salts for growth. Flexirubin-type pigments were absent. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the test strain belonged to the genus Aquimarina within the family Flavobacteriaceae, but shared relatively low levels of similarity (93.6–95.9 %) with the type strains of recognized Aquimarina species. The predominant cellular fatty acids [iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 9 (comprising 10-methyl C16 : 0 and/or iso-C17 : 1ω9c) and DNA G+C content (35 mol%) were consistent with the assignment of strain JC2680T to the genus Aquimarina. However, a number of phenotypic characteristics, namely inability to grow under microaerophilic conditions, differences in enzyme reactions, and absence of flexirubin-type pigments and gliding motility, clearly distinguished strain JC2680T from recognized species of the genus Aquimarina. The data presented thus indicate that strain JC2680T represents a novel species of the genus Aquimarina, for which the name Aquimarina addita sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JC2680T ( = KACC 14156T  = JCM 17106T).
