A Gram-reaction-negative, facultatively anaerobic and rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain JN14CK-3T, was isolated from surface sediment of the Jiulong River of China and was characterized phenotypically and phylogenetically. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain JN14CK-3T belonged to the genus Draconibacterium, with the highest sequence similarity (98.3 %) to Draconibacterium orientale FH5T. By contrast, strain JN14CK-3T shared low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities ( < 91.0 %) with other type strains. The sole respiratory quinone was MK-7.The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and several unidentified phospholipids and lipids. The major fatty acids were iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0, anteiso-C15:0, C17:0 2-OH, iso-C16:0 3-OH and iso-C17:0 3-OH. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 40.9 mol%. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization value and average nucleotide identity (ANI) between strain JN14CK-3T and D. orientale FH5T were 34.2 ± 2.5 % and 87.1 %, respectively. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data showed that strain JN14CK-3T represents a novel species of the genus Draconibacterium, for which the name Draconibacterium sediminis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain JN14CK-3T ( = MCCC 1A00734T = KCTC 42152T).

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, IG8T, was isolated from seawater off the Sanriku coast, Japan. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain IG8T represented a separate lineage within the genus Loktanella; the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values were found with the type strains of Loktanella salsilacus (98.6 %) and Loktanella fryxellensis (98.4 %). DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain IG8T and the type strains of L. salsilacus (27.9–36.1 %) and L. fryxellensis (11.3–31.0 %) were clearly below 70 %, the generally accepted limit for species delineation. The DNA G+C content of strain IG8T was 66.3 mol%. On the basis of DNA–DNA hybridization, some biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison, it is proposed that the isolate represents a novel species, Loktanella atrilutea sp. nov. The type strain is IG8T (=IAM 15450T=NCIMB 14280T).

The 16S Rrna Gene

A novel actinobacterium, strain BC637T, was isolated from a biodeteriogenic biofilm sample collected in 2009 in the Saint Callixstus Roman catacomb. The strain was found to belong to the genus Kribbella by analysis of the 16S rRNA gene. Phylogenetic analysis using the 16S rRNA gene and the gyrB, rpoB, relA, recA and atpD concatenated gene sequences showed that strain BC637T was most closely related to the type strains of Kribbella lupini and Kribbella endophytica . DNA–DNA hybridization experiments confirmed that strain BC637T is a genomic species that is distinct from its closest phylogenetic relatives, K. endophytica DSM 23718T (63 % DNA relatedness) and K. lupini LU14T (63 % DNA relatedness). Physiological comparisons showed that strain BC637T is phenotypically distinct from the type strains of K. endophytica and K. lupini . Thus, strain BC637T represents the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Kribella italica sp. nov. is proposed ( = DSM 28967T = NRRL B-59155T).

Three exopolysaccharide-producing bacteria, designated strains DRP28T, DRP29 and DRP31, were isolated from the rhizoplane of Angelica sinensis from the Geumsan, Republic of Korea. Cells were straight rods, Gram reaction-negative, aerobic, non-motile, and catalase- and oxidase- positive. Flexirubin-type pigments were absent. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene indicated that these bacteria belong to the genus Mucilaginibacter in the phylum Bacteroidetes. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to strains of recognized species of the genus Mucilaginibacter were 93.8–97.4 %. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH). The strains contained MK-7 as the major isoprenoid quinone. Strains DRP28T, DRP29 and DRP31 formed a single, distinct genomospecies with DNA G+C contents of 41.9–42.7 mol% and DNA hybridization values of 82.6–86.8 %; the strains exhibited DNA–DNA hybridization values of only 20.4–41.3 % with related species of the genus Mucilaginibacter. On the basis of evidence presented in this study, strains DRP28T, DRP29 and DRP31 were considered to represent a novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter, for which the name Mucilaginibacter polysacchareus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DRP28T ( = KACC 15075T  = NBRC 107757T).

Previously, five rhizobial strains isolated from root nodules of Robinia pseudoacacia were assigned to the same genospecies on the basis of identical 16S rRNA gene sequences and phylogenetic analyses of the nodA, nodC and nifH genes, in which the five isolates formed a well-supported group that excluded other sequences found in public databases. In this study, the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between the isolates and Mesorhizobium mediterraneum UPM-Ca36T and Mesorhizobium temperatum SDW018T were 99.5 and 99.6 %, respectively. The five isolates were also different from defined Mesorhizobium species using ERIC fingerprint profiles and they formed a novel Mesorhizobium lineage in phylogenetic analyses of recA and atpD gene sequences. DNA–DNA relatedness values between the representative strain, CCNWYC 115T, and type strains of defined Mesorhizobium species were found to be lower than 47.5 %. These results indicated that the isolates represented a novel genomic species. Therefore, a novel species, Mesorhizobium robiniae sp. nov., is proposed, with type strain CCNWYC 115T (=ACCC 14543T =HAMBI 3082T). Strain CCNWYC 115T can form effective nodules only on its original host.

A Gram-negative, motile, psychrotolerant, oxidase- and catalase-positive bacterium, designated BSs20135T, was isolated from Arctic marine sediment. Cells were straight or slightly curved rods and formed circular, convex and yellowish-brown colonies. Buds and prosthecae could be produced. The strain grew at 4–28 °C (optimum 25 °C) and with 1–5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 2 %) and hydrolysed aesculin and DNA, but did not reduce nitrate to nitrite. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain BSs20135T belonged to the genus Glaciecola and shared 93.6–97.7 % sequence similarity with the type strains of known species of the genus Glaciecola. The major cellular fatty acids of strain BSs20135T were summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH), C16 : 0, C17 : 1ω8c and C18 : 1ω7c. The genomic DNA G+C content was 40.3 mol%. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization data and phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characterization, strain BSs20135T represents a novel species, for which the name Glaciecola arctica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BSs20135T ( = CCTCC AB 209161T  = KACC 14537T).

Two novel strains, GR20-10T and GR20-13T, were isolated from soil using R2A medium. The soil sample was collected from a field in the Yeongju region of Korea that was cultivated with Korean ginseng. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these strains formed a cluster with several uncultured bacterial clones and with Flexibacter filiformis, Flexibacter sancti, Flexibacter japonensis, Cytophaga arvensicola and Flavobacterium ferrugineum (recently reclassified as Terrimonas ferruginea) in the phylum Bacteroidetes. The level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the two novel strains was 98.9 %. Isolates GR20-10T and GR20-13T showed the highest sequence similarities to Flexibacter japonensis IFO 16041T (91.8 and 91.9 %, respectively) and T. ferruginea ATCC 13524T (90.4 and 90.6 %, respectively). The whole-cell fatty acid profiles of the two isolates were similar and their major fatty acids were 15 : 0 iso, 17 : 0 iso 3-OH and 15 : 1 iso G. The major isoprenoid quinone of both strains was MK-7. The G+C contents of GR20-10T and GR20-13T were 45.8 and 44.3 mol%, respectively. DNA–DNA hybridization (57 % DNA–DNA hybridization value) and phenotypic data indicated that strains GR20-10T and GR20-13T each belong to a separate species. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic data and genomic distinctiveness, strains GR20-10T and GR20-13T represent two novel species in a novel genus in the phylum Bacteroidetes; the names Niastella koreensis gen. nov., sp. nov. (the type species; type strain GR20-10T=KACC 11465T=DSM 17620T) and Niastella yeongjuensis sp. nov. (type strain GR20-13T=KACC 11466T=DSM 17621T) are proposed.
