This study presents a novel Janthinobacterium strain, SNU WT3, isolated from the kidney of rainbow trout. A phylogenetic study using 16S rRNA sequences indicated that the strain is closely related to Janthinobacterium svalbardensis JA-1T. However, biochemical analysis found differences in D-xylose adonitol, N-acetylglucosamine, arbutin, and cellobiose. As for genome-to-genome distance and average nucleotide identity values calculated between strain SNU WT3 and other related strains such as J. lividum EIF1, J. svalbardensis PAMC 27463, and J. agaricidamnosum BHSEK were all below the cutoff value between species. DNA-DNA hybridization between strain SNU WT3 and other close relatives indicated the results of J. lividum DSM 1522T (47.11%) and J. svalbardensis JA-1T (38.88%) individually. The major fatty acid compositions of strain SNU WT3 were cylco-C17:0 (41.45%), C16:0 (33.86%) and C12:0 (5.87%). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, and diphosphatidylglycerol. The quinone system was composed mainly of ubiquinone Q-8. The genome of strain SNU WT3 consists of 6,314,370 bp with a G + C content of 62.35%. Here, we describe a novel species of the genus Janthinobacterium, and the name Janthinobacterium tructae has been proposed with SNU WT3T (=KCTC 72518 = JCM 33613) as the type strain.

A novel Citrobacter species was isolated from the kidney of diseased rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) reared on a trout farm. Biochemical characterization and phylogenetic analysis were performed for bacterial identification. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and five housekeeping genes indicated that the strain belongs to the Citrobacter genus. However, multilocus sequence analysis, a comparison of average nucleotide identity, and genome-to-genome distance values revealed that strain SNU WT2 is distinct and forms a separate clade from other Citrobacter species. Additionally, the phenotype characteristics of the strain differed from those of other Citrobacter species. Quinone analysis indicated that the predominant isoprenoid quinone is Q-10. Furthermore, strain virulence was determined by a rainbow trout challenge trial, and the strain showed resistance to diverse antibiotics including β-lactams, quinolone, and aminoglycosides. The complete genome of strain SNU WT2 is 4,840,504 bp with a DNA G + C content of 51.94% and 106,068-bp plasmid. Genome analysis revealed that the strain carries virulence factors on its chromosome and antibiotic resistance genes on its plasmid. This strain represents a novel species in the genus Citrobacter for which the name C. tructae has been proposed, with SNU WT2 (=KCTC 72517 = JCM 33612) as the type strain.

A halotolerant, obligately alkaliphilic bacterium, R-2T, was isolated from the skin of a rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), a freshwater fish. The strain is Gram-positive, ferments several carbohydrates, is rod-shaped and motile by peritrichous flagella and produces ellipsoidal spores. The isolate grows at pH 9–10 but not at pH 7–8. This micro-organism grows in 0–22 % (w/v) NaCl at pH 10. Its major cellular fatty acids are iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0, the major isoprenoid quinone is MK-7 and the DNA G+C content is 38·5 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicates that strain R-2T is a member of the genus Oceanobacillus. DNA–DNA hybridization reveals low relatedness between the isolate and Oceanobacillus iheyensis (21·0 %). On the basis of phenotypic characteristics, phylogenetic data and DNA–DNA relatedness data, the isolate should be designated as a novel species, for which the name Oceanobacillus oncorhynchi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R-2T (=JCM 12661T=NCIMB 14022T).

Five novel Gram-reaction-negative aerobic marine bacterial strains with DNA G+C contents <50 mol% were isolated from the seagrass Posidonia oceanica. 16S rRNA sequence analysis indicated that they belonged to the genus Marinomonas. Major fatty acid compositions, comprising C10 : 0 3-OH, C16 : 0, C16 : 1ω7c and C18 : 1ω7c, supported the affiliation of these strains to the genus Marinomonas. Strains IVIA-Po-14bT, IVIA-Po-145T and IVIA-Po-155T were closely related to Marinomonas pontica 46-16T, according to phylogenetic analysis. However, DNA–DNA hybridization values <35 % among these strains revealed that they represented different species. Further differences in the phenotypes and minor fatty acid compositions were also found among the strains. Another two strains, designated IVIA-Po-181T and IVIA-Po-159T, were found to be closely related to M. dokdonensis DSW10-10T but DNA–DNA relatedness levels <40 % in pairwise comparisons, as well as some additional differences in phenotypes and fatty acid compositions supported the creation of two novel species. Accordingly, strains IVIA-Po-14bT ( = CECT 7730T  = NCIMB 14671T), IVIA-Po-145T ( = CECT 7377T  = NCIMB 14431T), IVIA-Po-155T ( = CECT 7731T  = NCIMB 14672T), IVIA-Po-181T ( = CECT 7376T  = NCIMB 14433T) and IVIA-Po-159T ( = CECT 7732T  = NCIMB 14673T) represent novel species, for which the names Marinomonas alcarazii sp. nov., Marinomonas rhizomae sp. nov., Marinomonas foliarum sp. nov., Marinomonas posidonica sp. nov. and Marinomonas aquiplantarum sp. nov. are proposed, respectively.
