A novel endophytic bacterial strain, designated GR-TSA-9T, was isolated from surface-sterilized grape (Vitis vinifera L.). 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that the isolate was grouped within the genus Brevundimonas, displaying the highest similarity with Brevundimonas lenta DS-18T (97.9%) and Brevundimonas kwangchunensis KSL-102T (97.8%) and less than 97.5% similarity with other members of Brevundimonas. The strain GR-TSA-9T was a gram negative, rod shaped, facultatively anaerobic, catalase and oxidase positive, and motile bacterium. Its growth occurred at 10–37°C (optimally 25–30°C), at pH 7.0–8.0, and in NaCl 0–1% (optimally 0%). It contained ubiquinone-10 as a respiratory quinone, and the major cellular fatty acids (>10% of the total) were C16:0 (14.2%) and summed feature 8 (C18:1ω7c and/or C18:1ω6c, 65.6%). The polar lipids present in the strain were phosphoglycolipids, phosphatidylglycerol, 1,2-di-O-acyl-3-O-[d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-α-d-glucopyranuronosyl]glycerol, and unidentified lipids (L1, L2, and L4). The strain had one 2,976,716bp circular chromosome with a G+C content of 66.4%. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization value between strain GR-TSA-9T and B. lenta DS-18T was 20.9%, while the average nucleotide identity value was 76.7%. In addition, the dDDH and ANI values to other members in this genus, whose genome sequences are available, are less than 21.1 and 77.6%. Genome annotation predicted the presence of some gene clusters related to tyrosine degradation and pyomelanin formation. Strain GR-TSA-9T produced a brown melanin-like pigment in the presence of L-tyrosine-containing media. The highest pigment production (0.19g/L) was observed in tryptic soy broth with 1.0mg/ml L-tyrosine at 25°C for 6days of culture. Biophysical characterization by ultraviolet (UV)–visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry confirmed that the pigment was pyomelanin. Additionally, melanized GR-TSA-9T cells could protect the cells against UVC exposure. The phylogenetic, genomic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic features indicated that strain GR-TSA-9T represents a novel melanin-producing species of Brevundimonas. The type strain was GR-TSA-9T (KCTC 82386T=CGMCC 1.18820T).

An aerobic, yellow-pigmented, bacteriochlorophyll a-producing strain, designated AAP5 (=DSM 111157=CCUG 74776), was isolated from the alpine lake Gossenköllesee located in the Tyrolean Alps, Austria. Here, we report its description and polyphasic characterization. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene showed that strain AAP5 belongs to the bacterial genus Sphingomonas and has the highest pairwise 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Sphingomonas glacialis (98.3%), Sphingomonas psychrolutea (96.8%), and Sphingomonas melonis (96.5%). Its genomic DNA G + C content is 65.9%. Further, in silico DNA-DNA hybridization and calculation of the average nucleotide identity speaks for the close phylogenetic relationship of AAP5 and Sphingomonas glacialis. The high percentage (76.2%) of shared orthologous gene clusters between strain AAP5 and Sphingomonas paucimobilis NCTC 11030T, the type species of the genus, supports the classification of the two strains into the same genus. Strain AAP5 was found to contain C18:1ω7c (64.6%) as a predominant fatty acid (>10%) and the polar lipid profile contained phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, sphingoglycolipid, six unidentified glycolipids, one unidentified phospholipid, and two unidentified lipids. The main respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. Strain AAP5 is a facultative photoheterotroph containing type-2 photosynthetic reaction centers and, in addition, contains a xathorhodopsin gene. No CO2-fixation pathways were found.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, milky white bacterium, designated B2012T, was isolated from mangrove sediment collected at Beibu Gulf, South China Sea. Antimicrobial activity assay revealed that the isolate possesses the capability of producing antibacterial compounds. Strain B2012T shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence relatedness (96.9–95.5 %) with members of the genus Acuticoccus . The isolate and all known Acuticoccus species contain Q-10 as the main respiratory quinone and have the same polar lipid components (phosphatidylcholine, unidentified glycolipid, unidentified lipid, unidentified amino lipid and phosphatidylglycerol). However, genomic relatedness referred by values of average nucleotide identity, digital DNA–DNA hybridization, average amino acid identity and the percentage of conserved proteins between strain B2012T and other type strains of the genus Acuticoccus were below the proposed thresholds for species discrimination. The genome of strain B2012T was assembled into 65 scaffolds with an N50 size of 244239 bp, resulting in a 5.5 Mb genome size. Eight secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters were detected in this genome, including three non-ribosomal peptide biosynthetic loci encoding yet unknown natural products. Strain B2012T displayed moderately halophilic and alkaliphilic properties, growing optimally at 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl concentration and at pH 8–9. The major cellular fatty acids (>10 %) were anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 dimethyl aldehyde (DMA) and C16 : 0. Combined data from phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses suggested that strain B2012T represents a novel species of the genus Acuticoccus , for which the name Acuticoccus mangrovi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is B2012T (=MCCC 1K04418T=KCTC 72962T).

Phototrophic Growth

A bacterial strain, designated AST4T, was isolated from activated sludge. The bacterium did not show significant growth on nutrient broth, but growth was clearly stimulated by addition of supernatant from other bacterial cultures. Culture filtrate of a strain related to the genus Sphingomonas in particular increased the cell yield and growth rate of strain AST4T. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain AST4T is located within the ‘Rhodobacter group’ in the α-3 subclass of Proteobacteria, but is clearly distant from related genera in this group such as Paracoccus, Rhodobacter and Rhodovulum. Strain AST4T is a Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped (0·6–0·8×1·3–2·0 μm) and aerobic bacterium. It was not able to reduce nitrate to nitrite or N2. No phototrophic growth was observed. Optimal growth occurred at 30 °C and pH 6·5–7·5. The dominant cellular fatty acid in the isolate was C18 : 1 cis11. Ubiquinone-10 was the major respiratory quinone. The G+C content was 64·5 mol% (by HPLC). Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic traits, the name Catellibacterium nectariphilum gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed for this isolate; the type strain is AST4T (=NBRC 100046T=JCM 11959T=DSM 15620T).

A novel Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, pale-orange-pigmented bacterium, designated strain SM1216T, was isolated from Arctic intertidal sand. Cells of strain SM1216T were dimorphic rods with a single polar prostheca or flagellum. The strain grew at 4 − 30 °C (optimum at 25 °C) and with 0.5 − 6 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum with 2 − 3 %). It reduced nitrate to nitrite but did not hydrolyse gelatin, DNA or Tween 80. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SM1216T was affiliated with the genus Algimonas in the family Hyphomonadaceae, sharing 97.5 and 96.3 % similarity with Algimonas ampicilliniresistens 14A-2-7T and Algimonas porphyrae 0C-2-2T, respectively, the two known species in the genus Algimonas. However, the level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain SM1216T and the type strain of A. ampicilliniresistens, the nearest phylogenetic neighbour, was 57.9 %. The major cellular fatty acids of strain SM1216T were C18 : 1ω7c and C18 : 1 2-OH. The main polar lipids of strain SM1216T were monoglycosyldiglyceride (MGDG), glucuronopyranosyldiglyceride (GUDG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and three unidentified phospholipids (PL1–3). The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 10 (Q10). The genomic G+C content of strain SM1216T was 60.6 mol%. On the basis of the evidence from this polyphasic study, strain SM1216T represents a novel species in the genus Algimonas, for which the name Algimonas arctica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SM1216T ( = MCCC 1K00233T = KCTC 32513T). An emended description of the genus Algimonas is also given.
