Abstract A Gram-stain-negative, aerobiotic, pink, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated P51 T was isolated from saline silt samples in Yantai, China. The novel isolate was able to grow at 4–42 °C (optimum 33 °C), pH 4.0–9.0 (optimum 7.0) and with 0–11.0% NaCl (optimum 4.0%, w/v). It could grow at 4 °C, which was different from the neighbour strains. The draft genome consisted of 4111 genes with a total length of 5139782 bp and 39.9% G + C content. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain P51 T was a member of the genus Echinicola and most closely related to ‘ Echinicola shivajiensis ’ with pair-wise sequence similarity of 97.7%. Genome analysis identified genes encoding proteins relating to carbon source utilization such as glycoside hydrolases and glycosyl transferases; carotenoid biosynthesis pathway and β -lactam resistance pathway were observed. Strain P51 T shared average nucleotide identity value below 84.7%, average amino acid identity value between of 70.8 – 89.3%, digital DNA-DNA hybridization identity of between 17.9–28.2% with the closely related type strains within the genus Echinicola . The sole menaquinone was MK-7; the major fatty acids were iso-C 15:0 , summed feature 3(C 16:1 ω 7 c and/or C 16:1 ω 6 c ), summed feature 4 (anteiso-C 17:1 B and/or iso-C 17:1 I) and summed feature 9 (iso-C 17:1 ω 9 c and/or 10-methyl C 16:0 ); the polar lipids included one phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminophospholipid, one unidentified phospholipid, three unidentified aminolipids and one unknown lipid. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phylogenetic analyses, strain P51 T represents a novel species of the genus Echinicola , for which the name Echinicola salinicaeni sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is P51 T (KCTC 82513 T = MCCC 1K04413 T ).

The genus Cyclobacterium belongs to the phylum Bacteroidetes and includes eight species. Our study, based on the genomic parameters in silico DNA–DNA hybridization (GGDC), average nucleotide identity (OrthoANI), and average amino acid identity (AAI), confirmed that all current species of Cyclobacterium belong to this genus and constitute a coherent phylogenomic group, but with species forming two separate branches. In addition, the genome-based analyses revealed that Cyclobacterium xiamenense and Cyclobacterium halophilum are members of the same species. Besides, we carried out a taxonomic characterization of the new strain GBPx2T, isolated from the halophytic plant Salicornia sp. Analysis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence showed the highest sequence similarity (97.5%) to Cyclobacterium lianum HY9T. Percentages of GGDC and OrthoANI between strain GBPx2T and species of the genus Cyclobacterium were lower than the threshold value for species delineation. The DNA G+C content was 43.0 mol%. The polar lipids included phosphatidylethanolamine as well as one unidentified phospholipid and four unidentified lipids, and its major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15:0 and summed feature 3 (C16:1ω7c and/or iso-C15:0 2-OH). The only quinone present was menaquinone 7. Based on a combination of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phylogenomic features, the GBPx2T strain represents a novel species of the genus Cyclobacterium, for which the name Cyclobacterium plantarum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Cyclobacterium plantarum is GBPx2T (= IBRC-M 10634T = LMG 28551T).

A novel Gram-stain-positive, actinobacterial strain, designated C5-26T, was isolated from soil from a natural cave in Jeju, Republic of Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. The organism was aerobic, and cells were non-spore-forming, non-motile cocci that occurred singly, in pairs, in triplets, in tetrads, in short chains or in irregular clusters. Colonies of the cells were circular, convex, entire and white. The peptidoglycan type was A4α with an l-Ser–d-Asp interpeptide bridge. The whole-cell sugars comprised glucose, rhamnose, mannose, arabinose, galactose and ribose. The major menaquinone was MK-8(H4). The polar lipids contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and an unidentified phospholipid. The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C16 : 1 h. The size of the draft genome was 5.32 Mbp with depth of coverage of 161×. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 67.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel isolate belonged to the family Dermacoccaceae and formed a distinct subcluster at the base of the radiation of the genus Luteipulveratus . Highest sequence similarities of the novel isolate were found to the type strains of Luteipulveratus halotolerans (96.2 %), Branchiibius hedensis (95.4 %), Luteipulveratus mongoliensis (95.4 %) and Branchiibius cervicis (95.3 %). The whole genome-based phylogeny supported the novelty of the isolate at the genus level in the family Dermacoccaceae . On the basis of data from this polyphasic study, strain C5-26T (=KCTC 39632T=DSM 108676T) represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Dermacoccaceae , for which the name Leekyejoonella antrihumi gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed.

Abstract Strain CCP-1T, isolated from a freshwater pond in Taiwan, is characterized using a polyphasic taxonomy approach. Cells of strain CCP-1T are Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped and form dark red colored colonies. Growth occurs at 20–40 oC, at pH 6.5-9 and with 0-0.5% NaCl. Strain CCP-1T contains bacteriochlorophyll a, and shows optimum growth under anaerobic condition by photoheterotrophy, but not by photoautotrophy. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity indicates that strain CCP-1T is closely related to species within the genus Rhodobacter (93.9–96.2% sequence similarity), Haematobacter (96.3%) and Xinfangfangia (95.5–96.2%). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and based on up-to-date bacterial core gene set (92 protein clusters) reveal that strain CCP-1T is affiliated with species in the genus Rhodobacter. The average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization identity between strain CCP-1T and Rhodobacter species are 71.3–76.3%, 70.4–77.9% and 21.4–23.2%, respectively, supporting that strain CCP-1T is a novel species of the genus Rhodobacter. The DNA G + C content is 66.2%. The predominant fatty acid is C18:1ω7c and the major isoprenoid quinone is Q-10. The polar lipids have phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, two uncharacterized aminophospholipids and two uncharacterized phospholipids. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic properties and phylogenetic inference, strain CCP-1T should represent a novel species of the genus Rhodobacter, for which the name Rhodobacter ruber sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CCP-1T (= BCRC 81189T = LMG 31335T).

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain SHC163T, which was isolated from the gut of Onchidium reevesii. The bacterium was Gram-stain-negative, oxidase-positive, catalase-negative and rod-shaped. Growth was observed at salinities of 0–4.0 % NaCl and at temperatures of 15–35 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain SHC163T belonged to the genus Jannaschia , with the highest sequence similarity to Jannaschia seosinensis CL-SP26T (97.9%), followed by Jannaschia faecimaris DSM 100420T (97.8 %), Jannaschia rubra CECT 5088T (97.5%) and eight species of the genus Jannaschia (94.7−97.1 %). The average amino acid identity, average nucleotide identity and the digital DNA–DNA hybridization estimate values between strain SHC163T and the type strains of the genus Jannaschia were 64.33−79.78 %, 71.0−78.4 % and 19.2−21.0%, respectively. The principal fatty acids (>5 %) were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c/C18 : 1  ω6c, 56.5 %), C18 : 1  ω7c 11-methyl (23.1 %), C18 : 0 (8.7 %). The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 67.8 mol%. The respiratory quinone was determined to be Q-10 (100 %). The polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid, an unidentified aminolipid and aminophospholipid. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data show that strain SHC163T represents a novel species within the genus Jannaschia , for which the name Jannaschia marina sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain SHC163T (=MCCC 1K04032T=KCTC 72524T).

Abstract A Gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming and short rod-shaped actinomycete strain, designated GA224T, was isolated from an electronic waste associated bioaerosols. The isolate is facultatively anaerobic, which is able to grow at 25–40 ℃ (optimum 37 ℃) and pH 6.5–8.5 (optimum 8.0). The diamino acid in the cell wall of strain GA224T is 2,4-diaminobutyric acid (DAB), while major menaquinone is MK-12. The polar lipid profile is composed of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, unidentified phospholipids, unidentified glycolipids and unidentified lipid. The major cellular fatty acid is anteiso-C15:0 and iso-C16:0. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain GA224T fell within the genus Yonghaparkia, the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values (98.60%) being obtained with respect to Yonghaparkia alkaliphile KSL-113T. The draft genome of strain GA224T comprised 2,495,189 bp with a G+C content of 72.17 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain GA224T and phylogenetically related Yonghaparkia species were lower than 95% and 70%, respectively. Based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genomic data, strain GA224T represents a novel species, for which the name Yonghaparkia aerolata sp. nov. is proposed, with GA224T as the type strain (= GDMCC 1.2165T = JCM 34462T).

A Gram-stain-negative, moderately halophilic strain, designated strain L5T, was isolated from wetsalted hides collected from Chengdu, south-west PR China. The cells were motile, facultative aerobic, short rod-shaped and non-endospore-forming. Growth of strain L5T occurred at pH 6–10 (optimum, pH 8), 10–45 °C (optimum, 30 °C) and in the presence of 1–17 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 10 %). Results of phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA, gyrB and rpoD gene sequences and its genome revealed that strain L5T belonged to the genus Halomonas . Strain L5T was found to be most closely related to the type strains of Halomonas saliphila , Halomonas lactosivorans , Halomonas kenyensis , Halomonas daqingensis and Halomonas desiderata (98.8, 98.6, 98.3, 97.9 and 97.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). The draft genome was approximately 4.2 Mb in size with a G+C content of 63.5 mol%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values among strain L5T and the selected Halomonas species were 83.3–88.9 % (ANIm), 71.1–87.3 % (ANIb) and 20.2–34.6 %, which are below the recommended cutoff values. Major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C16 : 1  ω7c, C18 : 1  ω7c and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and the predominant ubiquinone was Q-9, with minor ubiquinone Q-8 also present. The phospholipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, four unidentified aminophospholipids and three unidentified phospholipids. Based on the mentioned polyphasic taxonomic evidence, strain L5T represents a novel species within the genus Halomonas , for which Halomonas pellis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is L5T (=CGMCC 1.17335T=KCTC 72573T).
