Authors: Takada Kazuko , Hayashi Kazuhiko , Sato Yutaka , Hirasawa Masatomo
Published: November 2009

Four Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative, coccoid-shaped isolates were obtained from the oral cavities of wild boars and characterized by phenotypic and phylogenetic studies. On the results of biochemical tests, the organisms were tentatively identified as a streptococcal species. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies confirmed that the organisms are members of the genus Streptococcus, with Streptococcus equi subsp. equi ATCC 33398T as their closest phylogenetic relative (94.7 % similarity). DNA–DNA hybridization analysis showed that the isolates displayed less than 10 % relatedness to Streptococcus equi subsp. equi DSM 20561T. From the phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, the four isolates represent a novel species of the genus Streptococcus, for which the name Streptococcus dentapri sp. nov. (type strain NUM 1529T =JCM 15752T =DSM 21999T) is proposed.

Published: November 2009

A Gram-stain-positive, coccoid, non-endospore-forming actinobacterium (Sj14aT) was isolated from the air of a duck barn on tryptone soy agar after filter sampling. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, strain Sj14aT was shown to belong to the genus Dietzia and was most closely related to Dietzia schimae (98.7 %), Dietzia cercidiphylli (98.4 %) and Dietzia maris (98.6 %). The major menaquinone was MK-8 (H2). The polar lipid profile included the major components diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, an unknown polar lipid and two unknown glycolipids. Phosphatidylinositol and two phosphatidylinositol mannosides, as well as several other unknown lipids, were also detected. The polyamine pattern contained the major compounds spermine and spermidine. The fatty acid profile, containing C16 : 0, C17 : 0, C18 : 1
ω9c and 10-methyl C18 : 0 as major fatty acids, supported the affiliation of strain Sj14aT to the genus Dietzia. The results of physiological and biochemical tests and DNA–DNA hybridizations allowed a clear phenotypic differentiation of strain Sj14aT from the most closely related species of the genus Dietzia. Strain Sj14aT represents a novel species, for which the name Dietzia aerolata sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain Sj14aT (=DSM 45334T =CCM 7659T).

A facultatively chemolithoautotrophic, thiosulfate-oxidizing, Gram-negative, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated ATSB16T, was isolated from rhizosphere soils of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that this strain was closely related to Pandoraea pnomenusa LMG 18087T (96.7 % similarity), P. pulmonicola LMG 18016T (96.5 %), P. apista LMG 16407T (96.2 %), P. norimbergensis LMG 18379T (96.1 %) and P. sputorum LMG 18819T (96.0 %). Strain ATSB16T shared 96.0–96.4 % sequence similarity with four unnamed genomospecies of Pandoraea. The major cellular fatty acids of the strain ATSB16T were C17 : 0 cyclo (33.0 %) and C16 : 0 (30.6 %). Q-8 was the predominant respiratory quinone. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified aminophospholipids. Hydroxyputrescine and putrescine were the predominant polyamines. The genomic DNA G+C content of the strain was 64.0 mol%. On the basis of the results obtained from this study, strain ATSB16T represents a novel species of the genus Pandoraea, for which the name Pandoraea thiooxydans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ATSB16T (=KACC 12757T =LMG 24779T).

Authors: Seo Seong Hae , Lee Soon Dong
Published: November 2009

A novel actinomycete was isolated from soil of a rock surface collected from the peak of Darangshi Oreum (Small Mountain) in Jeju, Republic of Korea. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that strain DLS-44Tbelonged to the genusDactylosporangium, with the type strains ofDactylosporangium roseum(99.1 % sequence similarity) andDactylosporangium fulvum(99.0 %) as the nearest phylogenetic relatives. Substrate mycelium was abundant, irregularly branched, twisted and vivid orange–yellow in colour. Aerial mycelium was not produced on most media tested. Finger-shaped sporangia and globose bodies were formed directly from the vegetative mycelium. The combination of morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics supported assignment of the actinomycete to the genusDactylosporangium. Strain DLS-44Tcould be distinguished clearly from all type strains of the genus based on its physiological properties (utilization of methylα-d-mannoside and glycerol, nitrate reduction and growth at 20 °C and pH 9.1) and some chemotaxonomic characteristics (absence of unsaturated fatty acids). DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain DLS-44Tand its closest phylogenetic relatives were 12.2–14.8 % withD. roseumDSM 43916Tand 2.5–3.6 % withD. fulvumIMSNU 22055T. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and DNA–DNA hybridization data, strain DLS-44Trepresents a novel species of the genusDactylosporangium, for which the nameDactylosporangium darangshiensesp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain DLS-44T(=KCTC 19560T=DSM 45260T).

Authors: Renvoise Aurélie , Raoult Didier , Roux Véronique
Published: November 2009

Gram-positive, non-spore-forming rods were isolated from a human osteo-articular sample (strain 7400942T). Based on cellular morphology and the results of biochemical analysis, this strain was tentatively identified as a novel species of the genus Actinomyces. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons showed that the bacterium was closely related to the type strain of Actinomyces denticolens (96.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). A comparison of biochemical traits showed that strain 7400942T was distinct from A. denticolens in a number of characteristics, i.e. in contrast with A. denticolens, strain 7400942T was negative for nitrate reduction and for β-galactosidase, α-glucosidase and alanine arylamidase activities, it was positive for acid production from N-acetylglucosamine, melezitose and glycogen, and it was negative for acid production from turanose. Matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization time-of-flight MS protein analysis confirmed that strain 7400942T represents a novel species, as scores obtained for its spectra were significant (>2.2) only with strain 7400942T. On the basis of phenotypic data and phylogenetic inference, it is proposed that this strain should be designated Actinomyces timonensis sp. nov.; the type strain is strain 7400942T (=CSUR P35T=CCUG 55928T).
Hylodesmus singaporensis gen. et sp. nov., a new autosporic subaerial green alga (Scenedesmaceae, Chlorophyta) from Singapore
Authors: Eliáš Marek , Němcová Yvonne , Škaloud Pavel , Neustupa Jiří , Kaufnerová Veronika , Šejnohová Lenka
Published: November 2009

The algal flora of subaerial habitats in the tropics remains largely unexplored, despite the fact that it potentially encompasses a wealth of new evolutionary diversity. Here we present a detailed morphological and molecular characterization of an autosporic coccoid green alga isolated from decaying wood in a natural forest in Singapore. Depending on culture conditions, this alga formed globular to irregularly oval solitary cells. Autosporulation was the only mode of reproduction observed. The cell periphery was filled with numerous vacuoles, and a single parietal chloroplast contained a conspicuous pyrenoid surrounded by a bipartite starch envelope. The cell wall was composed of a thick inner layer and a thin trilaminar outer layer, and the cell surface was ornamented with a few delicate ribs. Phylogenetic analyses of 18S rRNA gene sequences placed our strain in the family Scenedesmaceae (Sphaeropleales, Chlorophyceae) as a strongly supported sister branch of the genus Desmodesmus. Analyses of an alternative phylogenetic marker widely used for the Scenedesmaceae, the ITS2 region, confirmed that the strain is distinct from any scenedesmacean alga sequenced to date, but is related to the genus Desmodesmus, despite lacking the defining phenotypic features of Desmodesmus (cell wall with four sporopolleninic layers ornamented with peculiar submicroscopic structures). Collectively, our results establish that we identified a novel, previously undocumented, evolutionary lineage of scenedesmacean algae necessitating its description as a new species in a new genus. We propose it be named Hylodesmus singaporensis gen. et sp. nov. A cryopreserved holotype specimen has been deposited into the Culture Collection of Algae of Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic (CAUP) as CAUP C-H8001.

The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0(54.92 %), iso-C15 : 0(11.47 %), anteiso-C17 : 0(6.48 %) and anteiso-C15 : 1(6.38 %) and the major menaquinones were MK-8, MK-9 and MK-10. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and diphosphatidylglycerol. The G+C content was 68±0.5 mol%. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, the nearest phylogenetic neighbours of strain SPC26Twere identified asArthrobacter gangotriensisLz1yT(98.8 %),A. sulfureusDSM 20167T(98.6 %),A. psychrophenolicusDSM 15454T(97.9 %) andA. kerguelensisKGN15T(97.5). With these strains, strain SPC26Texhibited DNA–DNA relatedness values of 36, 21, 12 and 10 %, respectively. Therefore, on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, phylogenetic analysis, phenotypic characteristics and DNA–DNA relatedness, it is proposed that strain SPC26Trepresents a novel species ofArthrobacter, for which the nameArthrobacter antarcticussp. nov. is proposed, with strain SPC26T(=LMG 24542T=NCCB 100228T) as the type strain.

Published: November 2009

Three strains of a hitherto unknown, Gram-negative, tiny, anaerobic coccus were collected from human clinical samples originating from skin and soft tissues. The three isolates displayed at least 99.9 % identity in their 16S rRNA gene sequences and more than 99.8 % identity in theirdnaKgene sequences. The isolates were affiliated to the familyVeillonellaceae, the coccobacillusDialister micraerophilusbeing the most closely related species, but there was no more than 91.1 % identity in the 16S rRNA gene sequence between this species and the three isolates. Phylogeny based on the 16S rRNA gene confirmed that the three strains represent a novel and robust lineage within the current familyVeillonellaceae. A similar genomic structure was demonstrated for the three isolates by PFGE-based analysis. Morphology and metabolic end products, as well as genotypic and phylogenetic data supported the proposal of the novel genusNegativicoccusgen. nov., with the novel speciesNegativicoccus succinicivoranssp. nov. [type strain ADV 07/08/06-B-1388T(=AIP 149.07T=CIP 109806T=DSM 21255T=CCUG 56017T) as type species]. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences of members of the phylumFirmicutesand other phyla indicated that the familyVeillonellaceaeforms a robust lineage clearly separated from those of the classes ‘Bacilli’, ‘Clostridia’,Thermolithobacteriaand ‘Erysipelotrichi’ in the phylumFirmicutes. Therefore, we propose that this family is a class-level taxon in the phylumFirmicutes, for which the nameNegativicutesclassis nov. is proposed, based on the Gram-negative type of cell wall of its members, with the type orderSelenomonadalesord. nov. In this order, a novel family,Acidaminococcaceaefam. nov., is proposed and description of the familyVeillonellaceaeis emended.

A Gram-negative motile rod, strain SAM4T, was isolated from the highest positive dilution of a most probable number series inoculated with tidal-flat sediments from the German North Sea coast. The isolate grew at 4–35 °C and showed constant growth yields throughout almost the whole temperature range. Growth was observed between pH 6 and 9 and at salinities of 0.3–10.2 %. Strain SAM4T required Na+ for growth, contained bacteriochlorophyll a and was catalase- and oxidase-positive. It was nutritionally versatile growing on a variety of carbon compounds including carbohydrates, amino acids and organic acids like lactate or succinate. It grew anaerobically on complex media such as marine broth, indicating fermentation, and by reducing trimethylammonium oxide. The dominant phospholipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol, whereas only traces of phosphatidylcholine and an unidentified lipid were found. The major fatty acid was n-C18 : 1
ω7c. The DNA G+C content was 56.4 mol%. The isolate was identified as a member of the Roseobacter clade within the class Alphaproteobacteria. However, based on phylogenetic, phenotypic and physiological data, it clearly differs from its closest relative Tateyamaria omphalii. Therefore, a novel species is proposed: Tateyamaria pelophila sp. nov., with strain SAM4T (=DSM 17270T=LMG 23018T) as the type strain. Emended descriptions of the genus Tateyamaria and of Tateyamaria omphalii are also presented.

Published: November 2009

A Gram-stain-positive, coccoid, non-endospore-forming actinobacterium (strain CC-12602T) was isolated from a spawn used for growing the edible mushroom Agaricus brasiliensis in the laboratory. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain CC-12602T was shown to belong to the genus Microlunatus and was related most closely to the type strains of Microlunatus ginsengisoli (96.1 % similarity), M. phosphovorus (95.9 %), M. panaciterrae (95.8 %) and M. aurantiacus (95.5 %). The quinone system comprised menaquinone MK-9(H4) as the major component and the polyamine pattern consisted of spermidine and spermine as major compounds. The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol and unknown phospholipid PL3. Moderate amounts of diphosphatidylglycerol, an unknown glycolipid and three unknown phospholipids and minor amounts of an unknown phospholipid and a polar lipid were detected. The peptidoglycan type was A3γ′, based on ll-2,6-diaminopimelic acid with an interpeptide bridge consisting of a single glycine residue and a second glycine residue at position 1 of the peptide subunit. Peptidoglycan structure and major fatty acids (anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0) supported the affiliation of strain CC-12602T to the genus Microlunatus. The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed strain CC-12602T to be differentiated phenotypically from recognized Microlunatus species. Strain CC-12602T is therefore considered to represent a novel species of the genus Microlunatus, for which the name Microlunatus soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-12602T (=DSM 21800T =CCM 7685T).

Published: November 2009

The taxonomic position of a Gram-stain-positive, endospore-forming, halophilic strain, designated CAU 348T, isolated from sea sand was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Colony morphology, biochemical tests and chemotaxonomic investigations revealed that strain CAU 348T had the characteristics of the genus Bacillus. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the organism formed a hitherto unknown subline within the genus Bacillus. Sequence divergence values of more than 4.3 % from other described Bacillus species, together with phenotypic differences, showed that the unidentified bacterium represents a previously unrecognized member of this genus. The genotypic and phenotypic data indicated that strain CAU 348T represents a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus chungangensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CAU 348T (=KCTC 13566T =CCUG 57835T).

Published: November 2009

During a study of the prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni in black-headed gulls (Larus ridibundus) in Sweden, three isolates, strains LMG 24379, LMG 24380T and LMG 24381, were initially identified as Campylobacter lari. Further characterization by both AFLP and whole-cell protein SDS-PAGE analyses revealed that they formed a distinct group in the genus Campylobacter. This unique position was confirmed by phenotypic characterization, 16S rRNA and hsp60 gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridizations. The combined data confirm that these isolates represent a novel species within the genus Campylobacter, for which the name Campylobacter volucris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LMG 24380T (=CCUG 57498T).

Authors: Thawai Chitti , Tanasupawat Somboon , Suwanborirux Khanit , Kudo Takuji
Published: November 2009

Two actinomycete strains, CM2-8T and CM2-12, were isolated from temperate peat swamp forest soil in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. Their taxonomic positions were determined using a polyphasic approach. Chemotaxonomic characteristics of these strains coincided with those of the family Micromonosporaceae, i.e. cell wall chemotype II, N-glycolyl type of muramic acid, and type II phospholipids. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence data also indicated that these strains fell within the family Micromonosporaceae and formed a distinct taxon in the Micromonosporaceae phylogenetic tree. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis, characteristic patterns of 16S rRNA gene signature nucleotides and chemotaxonomic data, it is proposed that the novel isolates belong to a new genus, Actinaurispora gen. nov. The type species of the genus is proposed as Actinaurispora
siamensis sp. nov., with strain CM2-8T (=JCM 15677T=BCC 34762T) as the type strain.

Authors: Zou Zhengzhong , Wang Gejiao
Published: November 2009

A Gram-negative, aerobic, moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain Z35T, was isolated from a Chinese traditional cured meat produced in Wuhan. The isolate grew with 1–20 % NaCl (optimum 10 %), at 4–42 °C (optimum 37 °C) and at pH 4.5–8.5 (optimum pH 7.0). Cells of strain Z35T were not motile and were rod or oval shaped. The genomic DNA G+C content was 59.1 mol%. The isoprenoid quinones were Q-9 (88.96 %), Q-8 (9.46 %) and Q-10 (1.58 %). The major fatty acids were C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c, C16 : 0 and C17 : 0 cyclo. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain Z35T was closely related to the type strains of Kushneria species with 93.7–95.3 % sequence similarities. Phylogenetic analysis based on 23S rRNA gene sequence similarity values also confirmed the phylogenetic position of the isolate. Therefore, based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic evidence, strain Z35T is affiliated to Kushneria, but is clearly differentiated from other species of this genus and represents a new member, for which the name Kushneria sinocarnis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Z35T (=CCTCC AB 209027T =NRRL B-59197T =DSM 23229T).

Published: November 2009

A novel thermophilic, strictly anaerobic, heterotrophic bacterium, strain 2SM-2T, was isolated from the Shengli oilfield, China. This organism was identified as a member of the orderThermotogaleson the basis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence and the presence of an external membranous toga-like structure. Cells stained Gram-negative, were non-motile, appeared as irregular cocci 0.7–0.9 μm in diameter, and occurred in clusters of two to six cells, with cells located within a ballooning toga-like membrane. Its optimum temperature, pH and NaCl concentration for growth were 65 °C, 7.0 and 15 g l−1, respectively. Under the optimum growth conditions, the doubling time was approximately 105 min. Strain 2SM-2Tfermented a variety of simple and complex substrates such as glucose, acetate, methanol, starch and peptone while reducing elemental sulfur, sulfate and thiosulfate. The end products identified during growth on glucose were acetate, lactate,l-alanine, H2and CO2. The DNA G+C content of this organism was 36.4 mol%. The results of 16S rRNA gene-based sequence comparisons revealed that the strain represented a new lineage within the familyThermotogaceaeof the orderThermotogales. Based on the phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, it is proposed that this organism represents a novel species in a new genus within the familyThermotogaceae, for which the nameThermococcoides shengliensisgen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 2SM-2T(=ACCC 00496T=DSM 22460T).

Authors: Oh Hyun-Myung , Kim Hana , Kim Kyung-Mi , Min Gi-Sik , Cho Jang-Cheon
Published: November 2009

A marine bacterium, designated IMCC2115T, was isolated from coastal seawater (Yellow Sea, Korea) using a high throughput cultivation method based on dilution-to-extinction, and taxonomically investigated. Cells of the strain formed tiny, beige to off-white colonies and were Gram-stain-negative, obligately aerobic, chemoheterotrophic, non-motile cocci. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, the strain was most closely related to the generaMarinimicrobium(92.0–92.4 %) andMicrobulbifer(91.6–92.8 %), but phylogenetic trees showed that the strain formed a distinct phyletic line in the classGammaproteobacteriaadjacent to the OM60 and SAR92 clades. The DNA G+C content of the strain was 47.8 mol% and the predominant cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0(67.6 %), anteiso-C17 : 0(14.4 %) and C16 : 0(6.9 %). The 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses and phenotypic and chemotaxonomic tests allowed the differentiation of IMCC2115Tfrom other related genera in the classGammaproteobacteria. Therefore, strain IMCC2115T(=KCCM 42369T=NBRC 102686T) is proposed as the representative of a new genus and species, for which the namePorticoccus litoralisgen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed.

Authors: de la Haba Rafael R. , Arahal David R. , Márquez M. Carmen , Ventosa Antonio
Published: November 2009

A phylogenetic study of the familyHalomonadaceaewas carried out based on complete 16S rRNA and 23S rRNA gene sequences. Several 16S rRNA genes of type strains were resequenced, and 28 new sequences of the 23S rRNA gene were obtained. Currently, the family includes nine genera (Carnimonas,Chromohalobacter,Cobetia,Halomonas,Halotalea,Kushneria,Modicisalibacter,SalinicolaandZymobacter). These genera are phylogenetically coherent exceptHalomonas, which is polyphyletic. This genus comprises two clearly distinguished clusters: group 1 includesHalomonas elongata(the type species) and the speciesHalomonas eurihalina,H. caseinilytica,H. halmophila,H. sabkhae,H. almeriensis,H. halophila,H. salina,H. organivorans,H. koreensis,H. mauraandH. nitroreducens. Group 2 comprises the speciesHalomonas aquamarina,H. meridiana,H. axialensis,H. magadiensis,H. hydrothermalis,H. alkaliphila,H. venusta,H. boliviensis,H. neptunia,H. variabilis,H. sulfidaeris,H. subterranea,H. janggokensis,H. gomseomensis,H. arcisandH. subglaciescola.Halomonas salariaforms a cluster withChromohalobacter salariusand the recently described genusSalinicola, and their taxonomic affiliation requires further study. More than 20Halomonasspecies are phylogenetically not within the core constituted by theHalomonassensu strictocluster (group 1) or group 2 and, since their positions on the different phylogenetic trees are not stable, they cannot be recognized as additional groups either. In general, there is excellent agreement between the phylogenies based on the two rRNA gene sequences, but the 23S rRNA gene showed higher resolution in the differentiation of species of the familyHalomonadaceae.

Published: November 2009

A Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, Ca-34T, was isolated from nodules of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in Pakistan and studied for its taxonomic affiliation. The almost full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence showed highest similarities to those of strains of the genus Ochrobactrum. Based on results of MALDI-TOF MS and 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.6 %), strain Ca-34T and Ochrobactrum intermedium LMG 3301T are phylogenetic neighbours; the two strains shared DNA–DNA relatedness of 64 %. The fatty acid profile [predominantly C18 : 1
ω7c (67.7 %) and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (19.6 %)] also supported the genus affiliation. Metabolically, strain Ca-34T differed from other type strains of Ochrobactrum in many reactions and from all type strains in testing positive for gelatin hydrolysis and in testing negative for assimilation of alaninamide and l-threonine. Based on phenotypic and genotypic data, we conclude that strain Ca-34T represents a novel species, for which we propose the name Ochrobactrum ciceri sp. nov. (type strain Ca-34T =DSM 22292T =CCUG 57879T).

Published: November 2009

Two strains of a novel yeast species were isolated from insect frass and a flower in Thailand and Brazil, respectively. The strain from Thailand was isolated from insect frass collected in Than-Tong waterfall, Nong Khai Province, whereas the strain from Brazil was recovered from a flower of Ipomoea sp. collected on the banks of the Paraguai River in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit of the rDNA of both strains were identical. This novel species belonged to the Metschnikowia clade and was related to Metschnikowia
lunata. No signs of sporulation were observed for the two strains on various culture media. The novel species, Candida golubevii sp. nov., is proposed to accommodate these isolates. The type strain is BCC 8332T (=CBS 11362T=NBRC 105679T).

A novel Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, strain LW1T, was isolated from a water sample collected at a depth of 3.5 m from Lonar Lake, Buldhana district, Maharashtra, India. The cell suspension was reddish-orange due to the presence of carotenoids. Strain LW1T was positive for catalase, oxidase, ornithine decarboxylase and lysine decarboxylase and negative for gelatinase, urease and lipase. Fatty acids were dominated by branched-chain fatty acids (>76 %), with a high abundance of iso-C15 : 0 (48 %), anteiso-C15 : 0 (7 %) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (11 %). Strain LW1T contained MK-4 and MK-7 as the major respiratory quinones and phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine as the major phospholipids. A blast sequence similarity search based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that members of the genera Belliella and Aquiflexum were the nearest phylogenetic neighbours with similarities of 91.8–92.3 %. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that strain LW1T formed a deep-rooted lineage distinct from the clades represented by the genera Belliella, Aquiflexum, Cyclobacterium, Echinicola and Algoriphagus. Based on the above-mentioned phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, it is proposed that strain LW1T represents a novel species in a new genus, Indibacter alkaliphilus gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain LW1T=KCTC 22604T=CCUG 57479T). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain LW1T is 42.7±1 mol%.

On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, strain 01-Je-003Twas shown to belong to the genusBrevibacteriumand was most similar to the type strains ofBrevibacterium picturae(98.8 % similarity),Brevibacterium marinum(97.3 %) andBrevibacterium aurantiacum(97.2 %). Chemotaxonomic data [predominant quinone menaquinone MK-8(H2); polar lipid profile consisting of major compounds diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified glycolipid; characteristic cell-wall diamino acidmeso-diaminopimelic acid; polyamine pattern showing major compounds putrescine and cadaverine; major fatty acids anteiso-C15 : 0and anteiso-C17 : 0] supported the affiliation of strain 01-Je-003Tto the genusBrevibacterium. The results of DNA–DNA hybridizations and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain 01-Je-003Tfrom the two most closely related species,B. picturaeandB. marinum. Strain 01-Je-003Ttherefore represents a novel species, for which the nameBrevibacterium sandarakinumsp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain 01-Je-003T(=DSM 22082T=CCM 7649T).

Four isolates (FSL S4-120T, FSL S4-696, FSL S4-710, and FSL S4-965) of Gram-positive, motile, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming bacilli that were phenotypically similar to species of the genusListeriawere isolated from soil, standing water and flowing water samples obtained from the natural environment in the Finger Lakes National Forest, New York, USA. The four isolates were closely related to one another and were determined to be the same species by whole genome DNA–DNA hybridization studies (>82 % relatedness at 55 °C and >76 % relatedness at 70 °C with 0.0–0.5 % divergence). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis confirmed their close phylogenetic relatedness toListeria monocytogenesandListeria innocuaand more distant relatedness toListeria welshimeri, L. seeligeri, L. ivanoviiandL. grayi.Phylogenetic analysis of partial sequences forsigB, gap,andprsshowed that these isolates form a well-supported sistergroup toL. monocytogenes. The four isolates were sufficiently different fromL. monocytogenesandL. innocuaby DNA–DNA hybridization to warrant their designation as a new species of the genusListeria. The four isolates yielded positive reactions in the AccuProbe test that is purported to be specific forL. monocytogenes, did not fermentl-rhamnose, were non-haemolytic on blood agar media, and did not contain a homologue of theL. monocytogenesvirulence gene island. On the basis of their phenotypic characteristics and their genotypic distinctiveness fromL. monocytogenesandL. innocua,the four isolates should be classified as a new species within the genusListeria, for which the nameListeria marthiisp. nov. is proposed. The type strain ofL. marthiiis FSL S4-120T(=ATCC BAA-1595T=BEIR NR 9579T=CCUG 56148T).L. marthiihas not been associated with human or animal disease at this time.
