A novel marine bacterium, designated strain CHFG3-1-5T, was isolated from mangrove sediment sampled at Jiulong River estuary, Fujian, PR China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain CHFG3-1-5T belonged to the genus Marinobacter , with the highest sequence similarity to Marinobacter segnicrescens SS011B1-4T (97.6%), followed by Marinobacter nanhaiticus D15-8WT (97.5%), Marinobacter bohaiensis T17T (97.1%) and Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus SP.17T (90.6%). The bacterium was Gram-stain-negative, facultative anaerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive, rod-shaped and motile with a polar flagellum. Strain CHFG3-1-5T grew optimally at 32–37 °C, pH 6.0–8.0 and in the presence of 2.0–3.0% (w/v) NaCl. The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 61.1 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was determined to be Q-9. The principal fatty acids were C16 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c/ω6c), C12 : 0, summed feature 9 (C17 : 1 iso ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl), C12 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c). The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, three phospholipids, one glycolipid and two aminolipids. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values among the genomes of strain CHFG3-1-5T and the reference strains were 73.4–79.4 and 19.6–22.4%, respectively. Like many other species reported in the genus Marinobacter , strain CHFG3-1-5T was able to oxidise iron. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data showed that strain CHFG3-1-5T represents a novel species within the genus Marinobacter , for which the name Marinobacter mangrovi sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain CHFG3-1-5T (=MCCC 1A18306T=KCTC 82398T).

An anaerobic, alkaliphilic, halotolerant, Gram-stain-positive and rod-shaped bacterium, designated Q10-2T, was isolated from mangrove sediment sampled at the Jiulong river estuary, PR China. The cells of strain Q10-2T were motile and 0.5×2–4 µm in size. Strain Q10-2T grew at 8–45 °C (optimum, 32 °C), at pH 7.0–10.5 (optimum, pH 8.5) and in the presence of 0–6 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 3 %). It could use complex organic compounds and carbohydrates including d-fructose, d-galactose, d-glucose, d-mannitol, d-xylose, trehalose, lactose, maltose, sucrose and starch as carbon sources and electron donors. It could reduce sulphate, thiosulphate and elemental sulphur to sulphide, but not sulphite. Fe (Ⅲ) citrate, ferrihydrite, haematite and goethite in the presence of glucose as the electron donor were also reduced. Acetate, butyrate, ethanol, CO2 and H2 were end products of glucose fermentation. The predominant cellular fatty acids were composed of C14 : 0, C16 : 0 and summed features containing C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and iso-C17 : 1 and/or anteiso-C17 : 1 B. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the novel strain was most closely related to Fusibacter paucivorans DSM 12116T (95.5 % sequence similarity). The genome size of strain Q10-2T was 5.0 Mb, with a G+C content of 37.4 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain Q10-2T and F. paucivorans DSM 12116T were 69.1 and 21.8 %, respectively. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data showed that strain Q10-2T represents a novel species of the genus Fusibacter , for which the name Fusibacter ferrireducens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Q10-2T (=MCCC 1A16257T=KCTC 15906T).

Two bacterial strains, designated as 1-4-3T and 1-4-4, were isolated from a mangrove sediment cultured with coastal seawater. The cells were Gram-stain-negative, motile, short, rod-shaped bacteria with flagella. Growth occurred at 4–37 °C, pH 7.0–9.0, and 0–7% NaCl. The predominant fatty acids of the novel strains were C18 : 1  ω7c, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c, C18 : 0, and C16 : 0. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and whole genome phylogeny analysis based on distance matrix revealed an affiliation between the two strains and the genus Aureimonas , with closest sequence similarity to A. populi 4M3-2T (96.41 and 96.64% similarity, respectively) and A. glaciistagni (96.01 and 96.23% similarity, respectively). The DNA G+C content of strain 1-4-3T was 66.80 mol%. Strain 1-4-3T displayed low DNA–DNA relatedness to A. populi 4M3-2T, with an average nucleotide identity value of 77.47 % and digital DNA–DNA hybridization value of 22.83 %. Genotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phenotypic data indicate that strains 1-4-3T and 1-4-4 represent a novel species of the genus Aureimonas , for which we propose the name Aureimonas mangrovi sp. nov. The type strain is 1-4-3T (=LMG 31693T=CGMCC 1.18507T).

Strain MUSC 115T was isolated from mangrove soil of the Tanjung Lumpur river in the state of Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia. Cells of this strain stained Gram-positive and were non-spore-forming, short rods that formed yellowish-white colonies on different agar media. The taxonomy of strain MUSC 115T was studied by a polyphasic approach, and the organism showed a range of phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic properties consistent with those of the genus Microbacterium . The cell-wall peptidoglycan was of type B2β, containing the amino acids ornithine, alanine, glycine, glutamic acid and homoserine. The muramic acid was of the N-glycolyl form. The predominant menaquinones detected were MK-12, MK-13 and MK-11. The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphoglycolipid, diphosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified lipids, three unidentified phospholipids and four unidentified glycolipids. The major fatty acids of the cell membrane were anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The whole-cell sugars detected were ribose, glucose, mannose and galactose. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain MUSC 115T showed the highest sequence similarity to Microbacterium immunditiarum SK 18T (98.1 %), M. ulmi XIL02T (97.8 %) and M. arborescens DSM 20754T (97.5 %) and lower sequence similarity to strains of other species of the genus Microbacterium . DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed a low level of DNA–DNA relatedness (less than 24 %) between strain MUSC 115T and the type strains of closely related species. Furthermore, BOX-PCR fingerprint comparison also indicated that strain MUSC 115T represented a unique DNA profile. The DNA G+C content determined was 70.9±0.7 mol%, which is lower than that of M. immunditiarum SK 18T. Based on the combination of genotypic and phenotypic data, it is proposed that strain MUSC 115T represents a novel species of the genus Microbacterium , for which the name Microbacterium mangrovi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MUSC 115T ( = MCCC 1K00251T = DSM 28240T = NBRC 110089T).

Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain JchiT belonged to the genus Jeongeupia and that its closest neighbour was Jeongeupia naejangsanensis BIO-TAS4-2T (98.0 % sequence similarity). The major fatty acids (>10 %) of strain JchiT were summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), C16 : 0 and C18 : 1ω7c. The major cellular hydroxy fatty acid was C12 : 0 3-OH. The isoprenoid quinone was Q-8 and the genomic DNA G+C content was 66.1 mol%. The polar lipid profile consisted of a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine and two unidentified phospholipids. The DNA–DNA relatedness value between strain JchiT and J. naejangsanensis BIO-TAS4-2T was about 41.0 %. On the basis of the genotypic and phenotypic data, strain JchiT represents a novel species in the genus Jeongeupia , for which the name Jeongeupia chitinilytica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JchiT ( = BCRC 80367T  = KCTC 23701T).
