Abstract L3-3HAT, a Gram-negative-staining, facultatively anaerobic, motile bacterial strain, was isolated from the symptomatic bark of Salix matsudana canker in China. 16S rRNA gene analysis revealed that the novel strain shares the highest sequence similarity with Brenneria goodwinii FRB141T (95.5 %). In phylogenetic trees based on four housekeeping genes (gyrB, rpoB, atpD and infB) and the 16S rRNA gene sequence, the novel strain formed a separate branch from the five genera of the family Pectobacteriaceae (Lonsdalea, Brenneria, Dickeya, Pectobacterium and Sodalis), suggesting that the novel strain should belong to a novel species of a novel genus within the family Pectobacteriaceae. The result was also supported by phylogenomics, amino acid identity and average nucleotide identity. The major fatty acids were C14:0, C16:0, C17:0 cyclo, and C19:0 cyclo ɷ8c. Genome analysis showed that the novel strain has a large genome (5.89 Mb) with 5,052 coding genes, including 181 virulence genes by searching the pathogen-host interactions database (PHI-base), indicating that the novel strain is a potential pathogen of plants and animals. Based on phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, the L3-3HAT strain represents a novel species of a novel genus in the Pectobacteriaceae family, for which the name Affinibrenneria salicis gen nov. sp. nov. is proposed. The strain type is L3-3HAT (= CFCC 15588T = LMG 31209T).

Seven strains of actinobacteria, isolated from soil, wounds, urine, cow faeces, human blood and butter, were characterized by a polyphasic approach to clarify their taxonomic position. On the basis of chemotaxonomy, 16S rRNA gene analysis and DNA relatedness, strain IAM 14851T can be classified within the cluster of the genus Leucobacter and is proposed as a novel species, Leucobacter albus sp. nov., with strain IAM 14851T (=TISTR 1515T) as the type strain. The other six strains formed a phylogenetically separate branch in the family Microbacteriaceae, having the following characteristics: the major menaquinones are MK-8 to MK-10, the DNA G+C content ranges from 62 to 68 mol%, the diamino acid in the cell wall is diaminobutyric acid and the muramic acid in the peptidoglycan is of the acetyl type. The major fatty acids are 12-methyltetradecanoic acid (anteiso-C15 : 0), hexadecanoic acid (C16 : 0), 14-methyl-pentadecanoic acid (iso-C16 : 0) and 14-methyl-hexadecanoic acid (anteiso-C17 : 0). On the basis of morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, together with DNA–DNA hybridization and 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison, the novel genus Zimmermannella gen. nov. is proposed for these six strains. Four novel species are proposed: Zimmermannella helvola sp. nov. (type species; type strain IAM 14726T=NBRC 15775T=DSM 20419T=TISTR 1509T), Zimmermannella alba sp. nov. (type strain IAM 14724T=NBRC 15616T=TISTR 1510T), Zimmermannella bifida sp. nov. (type strain IAM 14848T=TISTR 1511T) and Zimmermannella faecalis sp. nov. (type strain IAM 15030T=NBRC 15706T=ATCC 13722T=TISTR 1514T).

Two pairs of aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped strains (HY164T/HY044, HY168T/HY211) were isolated from bat faecal samples. Strains HY164T and HY044 were motile with a polar flagellum, and had 16S rRNA gene similarity of 95.1–98.6 % to Haloactinobacterium album YIM 93306T and Haloactinobacterium glacieicola T3246-1T; strains HY168T and HY211 were most similar to Ruania albidiflava DSM 18029T (96.6 %). Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene and whole genome sequences revealed affiliation of strains HY164T and HY168T to the family Ruaniaceae , representing novel lineages in the genera Haloactinobacterium and Ruania , respectively, which was also supported by the results for average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH). For all isolates, the principal cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C14 : 0. HY164T and HY168T had MK-8(H4) as the predominant isoprenoid quinone, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, several unidentified phospholipids and glycolipids as common polar lipids while the latter strain additionally contained one unidentified aminophospholipid and one unidentified phosphoglycolipid. Besides sharing alanine, glutamic acid and lysine with HY164T, HY168T additionally contained 2,4-diaminobutyric acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The whole-cell sugars of HY164T were ribose and rhamnose, while HY168T only included the latter. The DNA G+C contents of HY164T and HY168T were 71.0 and 69.1 mol%, respectively. Combining the polyphasic taxonomic data, HY164T (=CGMCC 4.7606T=JCM 33464T) is classified as representing a novel species of the genus Haloactinobacterium with the proposed name Haloactinobacterium kanbiaonis sp. nov., and HY168T (=CGMCC 1.16970T=JCM 33465T) is proposed to represent a novel species of the genus Ruania with the name Ruania zhangjianzhongii sp. nov.

Four strains isolated in the last 15 years were revealed to be identical in their 16S rRNA gene sequences to MCRO19, the sequence of which was deposited in GenBank in 1995. In a polyphasic analysis including phenotypic and genotypic features, the five strains (including MCRO19), which had been isolated in four European countries, turned out to represent a unique taxonomic entity. They are scotochromogenic slow growers and are genetically related to the group that included Mycobacterium simiae and 15 other species. The novel species Mycobacterium europaeum sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate these five strains. Strain FI-95228T ( = DSM 45397T  = CCUG 58464T) was chosen as the type strain. In addition, a thorough revision of the phenotypic and genotypic characters of the species related to M. simiae was conducted which leads us to suggest the denomination of the ‘Mycobacterium simiae complex’ for this group.

In order to clarify the current phylogeny of the haloarchaea, particularly the closely related genera that have been difficult to sort out using 16S rRNA gene sequences, the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase subunit B′ gene (rpoB′) was used as a complementary molecular marker. Partial sequences of the gene were determined from 16 strains of the family Halobacteriaceae. Comparisons of phylogenetic trees inferred from the gene and protein sequences as well as from corresponding 16S rRNA gene sequences suggested that species of the genera Natrialba, Natronococcus, Halobiforma, Natronobacterium, Natronorubrum, Natrinema/Haloterrigena and Natronolimnobius formed a monophyletic group in all trees. In the RpoB′ protein tree, the alkaliphilic species Natrialba chahannaoensis, Natrialba hulunbeirensis and Natrialba magadii formed a tight group, while the neutrophilic species Natrialba asiatica formed a separate group with species of the genera Natronorubrum and Natronolimnobius. Species of the genus Natronorubrum were split into two groups in both the rpoB′ gene and protein trees. The most important advantage of the use of the rpoB′ gene over the 16S rRNA gene is that sequences of the former are highly conserved amongst species of the family Halobacteriaceae. All sequences determined so far can be aligned unambiguously without any gaps. On the other hand, gaps are necessary at 49 positions in the inner part of the alignment of 16S rRNA gene sequences. The rpoB′ gene and protein sequences can be used as an excellent alternative molecular marker in phylogenetic analysis of the Halobacteriaceae.

A rod shaped, Gram-stain-negative, chemo-organotrophic, heterotrophic, strictly aerobic, non-gliding bacterium, designated strain PLRT, was isolated from faeces of the mollusc Aplysia punctata (Mollusca, Gastropoda) that had been fed with green algae belonging to the genus Ulva. The novel strain was able to degrade ulvan, a polysaccharide extracted from green algae (Chlorophyta, Ulvophyceae). The taxonomic position of strain PLRT was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Strain PLRT was dark orange, oxidase-positive, catalase-positive and grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 7.5 and in the presence of 2.5 % (w/v) NaCl with an oxidative metabolism using oxygen as the electron acceptor. Nitrate could not be used as the electron acceptor. Strain PLRT had a Chargaff’s coefficient (DNA G+C content) of 35.3 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the sequence of the 16S rRNA gene placed the novel strain in the family Flavobacteriaceae (phylum ‘Bacteroidetes’), within a clade comprising Stenothermobacter spongiae, Nonlabens tegetincola, Sandarakinotalea sediminis, Persicivirga xylanidelens and Persicivirga dokdonensis. The closest neighbours of strain PLRT were P. xylanidelens and P. dokdonensis, sharing 95.2 and 95.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively. Phylogenetic inference and differential phenotypic characteristics demonstrated that strain PLRT represents a novel species of the genus Persicivirga, for which the name Persicivirga ulvanivorans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PLRT ( = CIP 110082T = DSM 22727T).

A Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, yellow-pigmented bacterium, strain N4T, was isolated from a nickel-complexed cyanide-degrading bioreactor and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain N4T is affiliated to the genus Chryseobacterium of the family Flavobacteriaceae. The levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain N4T and the type strains of all known Chryseobacterium species were 93.2–95.8 %, suggesting that strain N4T represents a novel species within the genus Chryseobacterium. The strain contained iso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 4 as the major fatty acids and menaquinone MK-6 as the predominant respiratory quinone. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 38.2 mol%. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain N4T represents a novel species of the genus Chryseobacterium, for which the name Chryseobacterium caeni sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is N4T (=KCTC 12506T=CCBAU 10201T=DSM 17710T).

A slow-growing, strictly aerobic, Gram-negative, coccus bacterial strain, designated KAUST100406-0324T, was isolated from sea-floor sediment collected from the Red Sea, Saudi Arabia. The catalase- and oxidase-positive strain was non-sporulating and only slightly halophilic. Optimum growth occurred at 20–25 °C and at pH values ranging from 7.0 to 8.0. The major cellular fatty acids of the strain were unsaturated C18 : 1ω6c and/or C18 : 1ω7c, C18 : 1ω7c 11-methyl and C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified phospholipids. Ubiquinone 10 was the predominant lipoquinone. The DNA G+C content of strain KAUST100406-0324T was 64.0 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the novel strain belonged to the family Rhodobacteraceae of the class Alphaproteobacteria but formed a distinct evolutionary lineage from other bacterial species with validly published names. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the novel strain was distantly related, but formed a monophyletic cluster with, those of bacteria from two moderately halophilic genera, Hwanghaeicola and Maribius . The similarity of the sequence between the novel strain KAUST100406-0324T and the type strains Hwanghaeicola aestuarii Y26T (accession number FJ230842), Maribius pelagius B5-6T (DQ514326) and Maribius salinus CL-SP27T (AY906863) were 94.5 %, 95.2 % and 95.3 %, respectively. Based on the physiological, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characteristics presented in this study, we propose that this strain represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Rhodobacteraceae , for which the name of Profundibacterium mesophilum gen. nov., sp. nov. was proposed, with KAUST100406-0324T ( = JCM 17872T  = NRRL B-59665T) as the type strain.

A novel sulfate-reducing bacterium, designated strain Pf12BT, was isolated from sediment of meromictic Lake Harutori in Japan. Cells were vibroid (1.0 × 3.0–4.0 μm), motile and Gram-stain-negative. For growth, the optimum pH was 7.0–7.5 and the optimum temperature was 42–45 °C. Strain Pf12BT used sulfate, thiosulfate and sulfite as electron acceptors. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 55.4 mol%. Major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0 and C18 : 0. The strain was desulfoviridin-positive. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene revealed that the novel strain belonged to the order Desulfovibrionales in the class Deltaproteobacteria. The closest relative was Desulfomicrobium baculatum DSM 4028T with which it shared 91  % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. On the basis of phylogenetic and phenotypic characterization, a novel species of a new genus belonging to the family Desulfomicrobiaceae is proposed, Desulfoplanes formicivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Desulfoplanes formicivorans is Pf12BT ( = NBRC 110391T = DSM 28890T).

The taxonomic position of a group of seven closely related lactose-negative enterobacterial strains, which were isolated from fresh faecal samples of Marmota himalayana collected from the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau, China, was determined by using a polyphasic approach. Cells were Gram-reaction-negative, non-sporulating, non-motile, short rods (0.5–1 × 1–2.5 μm). By 16S rRNA gene sequences, the representative strain, HT073016T, showed highest similarity values with Escherichia fergusonii ATCC 35469T at 99.3 %, Escherichia coli ATCC 11775T at 99.2 %, Escherichia albertii LMG 20976T at 98.9 %, Escherichia hermannii CIP 103176T at 98.4 %, and Escherichia vulneris ATCC 33821T at 97.7 %. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the seven strains formed a monophyletic group with five other species of the genus Escherichia. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization studies between strain HT073016T and five other species of the genus Escherichia showed that it shared less than 70 % DNA–DNA relatedness with all known species of the genus Escherichia, supporting the novel species status of the strain. The DNA G+C content of strain HT073016T was 53.8 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, strain HT073016T and the six other HT073016T-like strains were clearly distinct from the type strains of other recognized species of the genus Escherichia and represent a novel species of the genus Escherichia, for which the name Escherichia marmotae sp. nov. is proposed, with HT073016T ( = CGMCC 1.12862T = DSM 28771T) as the type strain.

Two strictly aerobic, Gram-negative bacteria, designated strains CL-SP27T and B5-6T, were isolated from the hypersaline water of a solar saltern in Korea and from the surface water of the Sargasso Sea, respectively. The two strains were rod-shaped, non-motile and grew on marine agar 2216 as beige colonies. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed a clear affiliation of the novel strains to the family Rhodobacteraceae. However, the novel strains were only distantly related to members of the Roseobacter clade, forming a distinct lineage. Although the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains CL-SP27T and B5-6T was very high (99.6 %), DNA–DNA relatedness between the strains was 48.4 %, suggesting that the strains be categorized as two genospecies. Additionally, the two novel strains could be differentiated by DNA G+C contents, fatty acid profiles, carbon source utilization patterns, antibiotic susceptibilities and biochemical characteristics. Based on taxonomic data obtained in this study, strains CL-SP27T and B5-6T represent separate species within a novel genus of the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the names Maribius salinus gen. nov., sp. nov. (type species) and Maribius pelagius sp. nov. are proposed. The type strains of Maribius salinus and Maribius pelagius are CL-SP27T (=KCCM 42113T=JCM 13037T) and B5-6T (=KCCM 42336T=JCM 14009T), respectively.
