Emended Description

Eight actinomycete strains that form bud-like spore chains were isolated from various samples collected in Japan. Phylogenetically, the isolates formed a single clade with the type strain of Actinomycetospora chiangmaiensis according to 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The isolates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, d-glutamic acid and d- and l- alanine in the cell-wall peptidoglycan, arabinose and galactose as characteristic sugars, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine as diagnostic phospholipids, MK-8(H4) as the predominant isoprenoid quinone, iso-C16 : 0 as the major cellular fatty acid and DNA G+C contents of 72–74 mol%. Actinomycetospora chiangmaiensis, the type species of the genus Actinomycetospora, was also found to contain MK-8(H4) predominantly in our study, although it was earlier reported to contain MK-9(H4) as the predominant isoprenoid quinone. On the basis of the morphological, physiological, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and DNA–DNA hybridization data, we concluded that the isolates can be accommodated in the genus Actinomycetospora with emendation of the description of the genus and are assigned to the following seven novel species: Actinomycetospora chibensis sp. nov. (type strain TT04-21T  = NBRC 103694T  = KACC 14256T), Actinomycetospora chlora sp. nov. (type strain TT07I-57T  = NBRC 105900T  = KACC 14252T), Actinomycetospora cinnamomea sp. nov. (type strain IY07-53T  = NBRC 105527T  = KACC 14250T), Actinomycetospora corticicola sp. nov. (type strain 014-5T  = NBRC 103689T  = KACC 14253T), Actinomycetospora lutea sp. nov. (type strain TT00-04T  = NBRC 103690T  = KACC 14254T), Actinomycetospora straminea sp. nov. (type strain IY07-55T  = NBRC 105528T  = KACC 14251T) and Actinomycetospora succinea sp. nov. (type strain TT00-49T  = NBRC 103691T  = KACC 14255T).

A novel Gram-stain-positive, coccoid actinobacterium, designated strain Sco-D01T, was isolated from volcanic ash collected from Oreum (a parasitic volcanic cone) on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. Cells were aerobic, oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. Colonies were vivid yellow, circular, smooth and convex. The diagnostic diamino acid in the cell wall was ll-diaminopimelic acid. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H4). The polar lipids were phosphatidylinositol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and an unknown phospholipid. The fatty acid profile was represented by large amounts of saturated, unsaturated, 10-methyl and hydroxyl components. The DNA G+C content of strain Sco-D01T was 72.0 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain Sco-D01T belonged to the family Nocardioidaceae and formed a distinct sublineage within the radiation of the genus Marmoricola. The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain Sco-D01T and its closest phylogenetic relative, Marmoricola aurantiacus DSM 12652T, was 30.2 % (35.4 % in duplicate measurements). On the basis of phenotypic and DNA–DNA hybridization data, strain Sco-D01T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Marmoricola, for which the name Marmoricola scoriae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Sco-D01T (=KCTC 19597T=DSM 22127T).

Two novel actinobacteria isolates, designated YIM 70009T and YIM 70081T, were characterized in order to determine their taxonomic position. Cells of strains YIM 70009T and YIM 70081T were cocci, although only the latter were motile. The G+C contents of their DNAs were 64·0 and 64·5 mol%, respectively. On the basis of chemotaxonomic characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the two isolates were classified in the genus Nesterenkonia. DNA–DNA hybridization and comparison of phenotypic characteristics revealed that strains YIM 70009T and YIM 70081T differed from each other and from known species. Therefore, it is proposed that they represent two separate novel species of the genus Nesterenkonia: Nesterenkonia sandarakina sp. nov. (type strain, YIM 70009T=CCTCC AA 203007T=DSM 15664T=KCTC 19011T) and Nesterenkonia lutea sp. nov. (type strain, YIM 70081T=CCTCC AA 203010T=DSM 15666T=KCTC 19013T).

A novel actinobacterial strain, designated P4-5T, was isolated from soil of a ginseng field located in Geumsan County, Republic of Korea. Cells of strain P4-5T were Gram-stain-positive, oxidase- and catalase-positive, motile, short rods and the strain produced creamy white colonies on trypticase soy agar. The isolate contained demethylmenaquinone 7 (DMK-7) as the predominant isoprenoid quinone, C18 : 1ω9c and anteiso-C15 : 0 as major fatty acids, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and several unknown lipids in the polar lipid profile, galactose, glucose, mannose, arabinose, xylose (trace) and rhamnose as cell-wall sugars, and meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The DNA G+C content of strain P4-5T was 74.6 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that strain P4-5T was related most closely to Patulibacter minatonensis KV-614T and Patulibacter americanus CP177-2T (98.4 and 98.2 % similarity, respectively) and that it formed a separate lineage in the genus Patulibacter. Combined phenotypic and DNA–DNA hybridization data supported the conclusion that strain P4-5T represents a novel species of the genus Patulibacter, for which the name Patulibacter ginsengiterrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is P4-5T ( = KCTC 19427T  = CECT 7603T). An emended description of the genus Patulibacter is also provided.

Two bacterial strains, 5420S-12T and 5420S-16T, isolated from air samples, were characterized using a polyphasic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain 5420S-12T was related phylogenetically to Microvirga subterranea FaiI4T (97.4 % sequence similarity) and Microvirga guangxiensis 25BT (97.1 %) and that strain 5420S-16T was closely related to Balneimonas flocculans TFBT (98.0 %) and Microvirga guangxiensis 25BT (97.2 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 62.2 mol% for strain 5420S-12T and 61.5 mol% for strain 5420S-16T. The major fatty acid was C18 : 1 ω7c. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and the phenotypic data showed that strains 5420S-12T and 5420S-16T could be distinguished from phylogenetically related species and represent two novel species within the genus Microvirga, for which the names Microvirga aerophila sp. nov. (type strain 5420S-12T =KACC 12743T =NBRC 106136T) and Microvirga aerilata sp. nov. (type strain 5420S-16T =KACC 12744T =NBRC 106137T) are proposed. Furthermore, the reclassification of Balneimonas flocculans as Microvirga flocculans comb. nov. (type strain TFBT =JCM 11936T =KCTC 12101T =IAM 15034T =ATCC BAA-817T) is proposed and an emended description of the genus Microvirga is provided.

A novel strain, C-138T, belonging to the genus Corynebacterium was isolated from a severe thigh liposarcoma infection and its differentiation from Corynebacterium xerosis and Corynebacterium freneyi is described. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences, rpoB sequences and the PCR profile of the 16S–23S spacer regions was not conclusive enough to differentiate strain C-138T from C. xerosis and C. freneyi. However, according to DNA–DNA hybridization data, strain C-138T constitutes a member of a distinct novel species. It can be differentiated from strains of C. xerosis and C. freneyi by colony morphology, the absence of α-glucosidase and some biochemical characteristics such as glucose fermentation at 42 °C and carbon assimilation substrates. The name Corynebacterium hansenii sp. nov. is proposed for this novel species; the type strain is C-138T (=CIP 108444T=CCUG 53252T).

Emended Description

A polyphasic taxonomic study was performed on 22 thermotolerant, aerobic, endospore-forming bacteria from dairy environments. Seventeen isolates were retrieved from raw milk, one from a filter cloth and four from grass, straw or milking equipment. These latter four isolates (R-6546, R-7499, R-7764 and R-7440) were identified as Bacillus thermoamylovorans based on DNA–DNA hybridizations (values above 70 % with Bacillus thermoamylovorans LMG 18084T) but showed discrepancies in characteristics with the original species description, so an emended description of this species is given. According to 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization experiments, the remaining 18 isolates (R-6488T, R-28193, R-6491, R-6492, R-7336, R-33367, R-6486, R-6770, R-31288, R-28160, R-26358, R-7632, R-26955, R-26950, R-33520, R-6484, R-26954 and R-7165) represented one single species, most closely related to Bacillus thermoamylovorans (93.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), for which the name Bacillus thermolactis is proposed. Cells were Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, endospore-forming rods that grew optimally at 40–50 °C. The cell wall peptidoglycan type of strain R-6488T, the proposed type strain, was A1γ based on meso-diaminopimelic acid. Major fatty acids of the strains were C16 : 0 (28.0 %), iso-C16 : 0 (12.1 %) and iso-C15 : 0 (12.0 %). MK-7 was the predominant menaquinone, and major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and some unidentified phospholipids. DNA G+C content was 35.0 mol%. Phenotypic properties allowed discrimination from other thermotolerant species of the genus Bacillus and supported the description of the novel species Bacillus thermolactis, with strain R-6488T ( = LMG 25569T  = DSM 23332T) as the proposed type strain.

A bacterial strain, PY2T, capable of oxidizing carbon monoxide, was isolated from a soil sample collected from a roadside at Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain PY2T was shown to belong to the genus Terrabacter and was most closely related to Terrabacter lapilli LR-26T (99.1 % similarity). Strain PY2T was characterized chemotaxonomically as having iso-C15 : 0 as the predominant fatty acid, MK-8(H4) as the major menaquinone, ll-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid of the cell wall, as possessing a polar lipid profile that included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and unknown amino-containing phosphoglycolipids, and having a DNA G+C content of 75.6 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain PY2T and the type strains of T. lapilli, Terrabacter tumescens, Terrabacter terrae and Terrabacter aerolatus were 20.0 %, 22.9 %, 35.9 % and 64.5 %, respectively. Based on the combined evidence from the phylogenetic analyses, chemotaxonomic data and DNA–DNA hybridization experiments, it is proposed that strain PY2T represents a novel species for which the name Terrabacter carboxydivorans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PY2T (=KCCM 42922T=JCM 16259T).

A high-G+C-content Gram-positive bacterium, designated as strain AC4rT, was isolated from a highly alkaline, non-saline groundwater environment (pH 11.4). This organism formed small rod-shaped cells, was aerobic, heterotrophic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative and had an optimum growth temperature of 35 °C and an optimum pH of 9.5. The strain possessed a B2β-type cell-wall peptidoglycan, with d-Orn as the diagnostic diamino acid. The major respiratory quinones were unsaturated menaquinones with 13 and 14 isoprene units. The predominant fatty acids were anteiso-15 : 0, iso-16 : 0, iso-14 : 0 and iso-15 : 0. The G+C content of the DNA was 67.1 mol%. In a 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain AC4rT showed the highest level of similarity (99.2 %) to the type strain of Microcella putealis; however, the DNA–DNA reassociation value between these two organisms was low (38.3 %). On the basis of phylogenetic analysis, the DNA–DNA reassociation value and distinct phenotypic characteristics, strain AC4rT represents a novel species within the genus Microcella, for which the name Microcella alkaliphila sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AC4rT (=LMG 22690T=CIP 108473T).
