A Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile strain, BL21T, was isolated from landfill soil in Pohang, Korea. Strain BL21T grew optimally at pH 7.0, 30 °C and 0 % NaCl (w/v). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain BL21T belonged to the class Betaproteobacteria and was related to the genus Acidovorax. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain BL21T was less than 98.30 % similar to those of other species in the genus Acidovorax. DNA–DNA hybridization values with phylogenetically related species of the genus Acidovorax were only 11.7–28.4 %. The major fatty acid components included summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c), C16 : 0, C18 : 1 ω7c and C10 : 0 3-OH. The DNA G+C content was 60.9 mol%. For these reasons, strain BL21T (=KCTC 22399T =JCM 15909T) is proposed as a novel species in the genus Acidovorax, with the name Acidovorax soli sp. nov.

The 16S Rrna Gene

A Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, yellow, non-motile, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic bacterial strain, designated MW 10T, was isolated from seawater of the Bay of Bengal, India, and was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain MW 10T showed highest similarity to the type strains of Psychrobacillus psychrodurans (96.15 %) and Psychrobacillus psychrotolerans (96.01 %) and showed less than 96 % similarity to members of the genera Paenisporosarcina, Planococcus, Sporosarcina and Planomicrobium. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain MW 10T formed a clade separate from members of closely related genera. The morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain MW 10T differed from those of members of closely related genera. The major fatty acid in strain MW 10T was iso-C15 : 0 and the menaquinones were MK-7 (48.4 %), MK-8 (32.3 %), MK-7(H2) (13.7 %) and MK-6 (5.6 %). The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, an unknown phospholipid, an unknown lipid and an unknown glycolipid. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type was l-Lys–d-Asp. The genomic DNA G+C content (53.4 mol%) of strain MW 10T was significantly different from those of members of closely related genera. On the basis of its morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics as well as our phylogenetic analysis, we conclude that strain MW 10T is a member of a novel genus and species, for which the name Chryseomicrobium imtechense gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain of Chryseomicrobium imtechense is MW 10T ( = MTCC 10098T  = JCM 16573T).

Gene Sequence Analysis

An ivory-coloured bacterium, designated strain 5YN7-3T, was isolated from a wetland, Yongneup, Korea. Cells of the strain were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and short rods. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that strain 5YN7-3T belongs to the order Rhizobiales of the class Alphaproteobacteria and is closely related to Kaistia soli 5YN9-8T (97.8 %), Kaistia granuli Ko04T (97.6 %) and Kaistia adipata Chj404T (97.4 %). Strain 5YN7-3T showed DNA–DNA hybridization values of 28, 22 and 35 % with K. granuli Ko04T, K. soli 5YN9-8T and K. adipata Chj404T, respectively. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c (51.2 %), C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (25.0 %), C18 : 0 (12.9 %) and C16 : 0 (10.8 %) (>10 % of total fatty acids). Ubiquinone-10 was the major isoprenoid quinone and the DNA G+C content was 66.5 mol%. The phenotypic characteristics in combination with 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization data clearly define strain 5YN7-3T as a novel species of the genus Kaistia, for which the name Kaistia terrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 5YN7-3T (=KACC 12910T =DSM 21341T).

A novel marine bacterium, strain KMD 001T, was isolated from the starfish Asterias amurensis, which inhabits the East Sea of Korea. Strain KMD 001T was aerobic, light-yellow pigmented and Gram-stain-negative. Analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain KMD 001T represents a novel lineage within the class Gammaproteobacteria. Strain KMD 001T is closely related to the genera Endozoicomonas and Zooshikella, which belong to the family Hahellaceae and to the order Oceanospirillales. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain KMD 001T shows similarities of approximately 91.8–94.6 % with the above-mentioned genera. The DNA G+C content of KMD 001T is 47.6 mol%. It contains Q-9 as the major isoprenoid quinone. The predominant fatty acids were determined to be anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C14 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. Strain KMD 001T should be assigned to a novel bacterial genus within the class Gammaproteobacteria based on its phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characteristics. The name Kistimonas asteriae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KMD 001T (=KCCM 90076T =JCM 15607T).

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).

A Gram-negative, non-motile and pleomorphic bacterial strain, SMK-114T, which belongs to the class Alphaproteobacteria, was isolated from a tidal flat sample collected in Byunsan, Korea. Strain SMK-114T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0 and 25–30 °C and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SMK-114T formed a cluster with Octadecabacter species, with which it exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 95.2–95.4 %. This cluster was part of the clade comprising Thalassobius species with a bootstrap resampling value of 76.3 %. Strain SMK-114T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 95.1–96.3 % to members of the genus Thalassobius. It contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c as the major fatty acid. The DNA G+C content was 60.0 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain SMK-114T is considered to represent a novel species in a new genus for which the name Gaetbulicola byunsanensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Gaetbulicola byunsanensis is SMK-114T (=KCTC 22632T =CCUG 57612T).

Strain HHS 31T, a Gram-positive, motile, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, alkaliphilic bacterium, was isolated from the melt water of a glacier. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics indicate that strain HHS 31T is related to species of the genus Exiguobacterium. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between HHS 31T and strains of known species confirm that it is closely related to members of the genus Exiguobacterium (93–99 %) and that it exhibits >97 % similarity with Exiguobacterium acetylicum DSM 20416T (98.9 %), Exiguobacterium antarcticum DSM 14480T (98.0 %), Exiguobacterium oxidotolerans JCM 12280T (97.9 %) and Exiguobacterium undae DSM 14481T (97.4 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence further confirms the affiliation of HHS 31T with the genus Exiguobacterium. However, the levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between HHS 31T and E. oxidotolerans JCM 12280T, E. acetylicum DSM 20416T, E. undae DSM 14481T and E. antarcticum DSM 14480T are 50, 63, 67 and 28 %, respectively. Strain HHS 31T also differs from these four closely related species in terms of a number of phenotypic traits. The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data suggest that HHS 31T merits the status of a novel species, for which the name Exiguobacterium indicum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HHS 31T (=LMG 23471T=IAM 15368T).

Bacterial strain PETP02T was isolated from nodules of Trifolium pratense growing in a Spanish soil. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that this strain represents a member of the genus Phyllobacterium. However, divergence found with the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the single recognized species of this genus, Phyllobacterium myrsinacearum, indicated that strain PETP02T belongs to a different species. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization, phenotypic tests and fatty acid analyses confirmed that this strain represents a novel species of the genus Phyllobacterium, for which the name Phyllobacterium trifolii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PETP02T (=LMG 22712T=CECT 7015T). This strain was strictly aerobic and used several carbohydrates as carbon source. It was not able to reduce nitrate. Aesculin hydrolysis was negative. It did not produce urease, arginine dihydrolase, gelatinase or β-galactosidase. The DNA G+C content was 56·4 mol%. The nodD gene of this strain showed a sequence closely related to those of strains able to nodulate Lupinus. Infectivity tests showed that this strain is able to produce nodules in both Trifolium repens and Lupinus albus.

Endophytic Actinobacterium

An aerobic, actinobacterial strain with rod-shaped spores, EUM 221T, which was isolated from the surface-sterilized stem of a grey box tree (Eucalyptus microcarpa), is described. Phylogenetic evaluation based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity showed that this isolate belongs to the family Pseudonocardiaceae, with the closest neighbour being Pseudonocardia zijingensis 6330T (98.7 %). The level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the isolate and species of the genus Pseudonocardia with validly published names ranged from 95 to 98 %. Chemotaxonomic data (meso-diaminopimelic acid; major menaquinone MK-8(H4); major fatty acid iso-C16 : 0) confirmed the affiliation of strain EUM 221T to the genus Pseudonocardia. The results of the phylogenetic analysis, including physiological and biochemical studies in combination with DNA–DNA hybridization, allowed the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain EUM 221T from the closest described species. Therefore, this strain represented a novel species and the name proposed is Pseudonocardia adelaidensis sp. nov. The type strain is EUM 221T (=DSM 45352T =ACM 5286T).
