Streptomyces arboris sp. nov., isolated from Populus euphratica wetland soil
More LessA novel actinobacterial strain (TRM 68085T) was isolated from soil of Populus euphratica wetland. A polyphasic approach was used to study the taxonomy of TRM 68085T and the results showed a range of phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic properties consistent with those of the genus Streptomyces . Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain TRM 68085T showed the highest similarity value to Streptomyces capitiformicae 1H-SSA4T (98.6 %), and phylogenetically clustered with Streptomyces kanasensis ZX01T(97.5 %) and Streptomyces ipomoeae NBRC 13050T (97.4 %). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain TRM 68085T based on the genome sequence was 71.4 mol%. The levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between the genome of the isolate and its nearest phylogenetic neighbours, S. capitiformicae 1H-SSA4T, S. kanasensis ZX01T and S. ipomoeae NBRC 13050T, were 19.2±0.4, 21.8±0.5 and 19.3±0.6 %, respectively. Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain TRM 68085T possessed MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8) as the predominant menaquinones. ll-Diaminopimelic acid and a small amount of meso-diaminopimelic acid were the diagnostic diamino acids. Ribose, xylose, glucose and galactose were the whole-cell sugars. The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0 (25.4 %) and iso-C16 : 0 (18.3 %). On the basis of these genotypic and phenotypic data, it is concluded that strain TRM 68085T represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces , for which the name Streptomyces arboris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TRM 68085T (=CCTCC AA2019031T=LMG 31492T).

Enemella gen. nov., Enemella evansiae sp. nov., Enemella dayhoffiae sp. nov. and Parenemella sanctibonifatiensis gen. nov., sp. nov., novel taxa assignable to the family Propionibacteriaceae and derived from human clinical samples
Nine Gram-stain-positive cocci, coccobacilli or short, rod-shaped strains recovered from clinical sources from patients located in two Canadian provinces and one environmental source were extensively studied. Clinical sources included blood cultures, cerebral spinal fluid, lymph node, lung biopsy and peritoneal fluid. Through 16S rRNA gene and whole genome sequencing analyses, the strains were found to cluster into three groups, closest to but distinguished from other genera in the family Propionibacteriaceae . The genomes from these bacteria had high G+C content, ranging from 67.8–69.56 mol%, and genome sizes of 3.02–4.52 Mb. Biochemical and chemotaxonomic properties including branched-chain cellular fatty acids, l-lysine diaminopimelic acid (ll-DAP) and cell-wall type A3γ (ll-DAP-gly) containing ll-DAP, alanine, glycine and glutamic acid were found and so the strains were therefore deemed to be consistent with other new genera in this family. Based on this investigation, we propose Enemella gen. nov., Enemella evansiae sp. nov., Enemella dayhoffiae sp. nov. and Parenemella sanctibonifatiensis gen. nov., sp. nov. for these taxa. Misidentified taxon ‘Ponticoccus gilvus’ was found to be assignable to Enemella evansiae based on this study.

The major menaquinone was MK-8(H4) and the major cellular fatty acids (>10 %) were identified as iso-C16 : 0 and C17 : 1 ω8c. Strain YIM 123512T had ll-2, 6-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic cell-wall diamino acid. The major polar lipids were found to be diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, two unknown phospholipids and one unknown lipid. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain YIM 123512T was 72.7 mol% based on its draft genome sequence. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain YIM 123512T appeared to be most closely related to Nocardioides halotolerans KCTC 19274T (97.7 % sequence similarity) and to belong to the genus Nocardioides . The sequence similarity values of strain YIM 123512T to other currently described type strains of the genus Nocardioides were less than 97.0 %. Based on the draft genome sequence, the novel strain showed an average nucleotide identity value of 80.2 % and a digital DNA–DNA hybridization value of 23.1 % with the reference strain N. halotolerans KCTC 19274T. The results of the polyphasic taxonomic study including phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses show that strain YIM 123512T represents a novel species of the genus Nocardioides , for which the name Nocardioides flavescens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 123512T (=KCTC 49303T=CGMCC 4.7628T).

Natronomonas halophila sp. nov. and Natronomonas salina sp. nov., two novel halophilic archaea
More LessTwo halophilic archaeal strains, C90T and YPL13T, were isolated from a salt lake and a salt mine in PR China. The two strains were found to form two clusters (97.5 and 89.5 % similarity between them, respectively) separating them from the three current members of the genus Natronomonas (95.4–97.0 % and 86.6–89.3 % similarity, respectively) on the basis of the 16S rRNA and rpoB′ gene sequence similarities and phylogenetic analysis. Diverse phenotypic characteristics differentiate strains C90T and YPL13T from current Natronomonas members. The polar lipids of strain C90T were phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester (PGP-Me), phosphatidylglycerol sulphate, two unidentified glycolipids, a major glycolipid and a minor glycolipid, while those of strain YPL13T were PG, PGP-Me, two unidentified phospholipids and a glycolipid. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization (isDDH) values between the two strains were 79.8 and 27.1 %, respectively, which were much lower than the threshold values proposed as a species boundaries (ANI 95–96 % and isDDH 70 %), which revealed that the two strains represent two novel species; these values (ANI 76.6–80.0 % and isDDH 21.6–27.0 %) of the strains examined in this study and the current members of Natronomonas are much lower than the recommended threshold values, suggesting that strains C90T and YPL13T represent two genomically different species of Natronomonas . These results showed that strains C90T (=CGMCC 1.13738T=JCM 32961T) and YPL13T (=CGMCC 1.13884T=JCM 31111T) represent two novel species of Natronomonas , for which the names Natronomonas halophila sp. nov. and Natronomonas salina sp. nov. are proposed.

Poritiphilus flavus gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Flavobacteriaceae isolated from coral Porites lutea
A novel Gram-stain-negative, non-endospore-forming, non-motile, aerobic bacterium (strain R33T) was isolated from coral Porites lutea and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. The G+C content was 44.5 mol%. The only detected respiratory quinone was menaquinone 6 (MK-6). The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 1 ω6c. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified lipids. Global alignment based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain R33T shares the highest sequence identity of 93.2 % with Muriicola marianensis A6B8T in the family Flavobacteriaceae . Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain R33T forms a distinct branch in a stable clade comprising strain R33T and members of the genera Muriicola , Robiginitalea , Eudoraea and Zeaxanthinibacter . The phylogenomic analysis also supported this 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic result. Comparative genomic analysis indicated that strain R33T is rich in AraC-type DNA-binding domain-containing protein-coding genes, which means the regulation of carbon utilization is very complex. Low 16S rRNA gene identity, different polar lipids and/or cellular fatty acid profiles could readily distinguish strain R33T from any validly published type strains. Therefore, strain R33T is suggested to represent a new species in a new genus, for which the name Poritiphilus flavus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R33T (=MCCC 1K03853T=KCTC 72443T).

Two anaerobic bacteria, designated strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107, were isolated from a hot spring in Tengchong County, Yunnan Province, south-west PR China. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 belong to the family Dysgonamonadaceae. Cells of strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 were Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile. The major fatty acids (>10 %) of strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 were identified as anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0 3OH. The polar lipid profile of strain SYSU GA16112T was found to consist of phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids, two unidentified phosphoglycolipids, two unidentified aminolipids and one unidentified polar lipid, while that of strain SYSU GA16107 consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified polar lipids, three unidentified aminophospholipids, two unidentified phosphoglycolipids and one unidentified aminolipid. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 were determined to be 41.90 and 41.89 %, respectively, and the average nucleotide identity value between them was 99.99 %. Based on their morphological and physiological properties, and results of phylogenetic analyses, strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 are considered to represent a novel species of a novel genus, for which the name Seramator thermalis gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain SYSU GA16112T=CGMCC 1.5281T=KCTC 15753T) is proposed.

Cells of strain S-15T were 0.9–1.4 µm long, 0.8–0.9 µm wide, catalase-positive and oxidase-positive. Colonies on modified marine agar 2216 were 0.5–2.0 mm in diameter after incubation for 72 h at 28 °C. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain S-15T was most closely related to Vicingus serpentipes ANORD5T (89.8 %). The major respiratory quinone of strain S-15T was menaquinone MK-7, and the dominant fatty acids were C15:0 iso, C15:1 iso G and C17:0 iso 3-OH. The major polar lipids were two unidentified aminolipids, phosphatidylethanolamine and six unidentified lipids. Analyses showed that the genome size was 3.52 Mb and the DNA G+C content was 35.6 mol%, which were higher than V. serpentipes ANORD5T with 2.92 Mb genome size and 31.0 mol% G+C content, respectively. Based on morphological, physiological and phylogenetic data, strain S-15T is considered a type strain of a new species and a new genus of the family ‘Vicingaceae’ for which the name Acidiluteibacter ferrifornacis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Acidiluteibacter ferrifornacis is S-15T (=MCCC 1K03817T=JCM 33804T).

Flavobacterium panici sp. nov. isolated from the rhizosphere of the switchgrass Panicum virgatum
A Gram-staining-negative non endospore-forming strain, PXU-55T, was isolated from the rhizosphere of the switchgrass Panicum virgatum and studied in detail to determine its taxonomic position. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the isolate represented a member of the genus Flavobacterium . The isolate shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with the type strains of Flavobacterium chungangense (98.78 %) and Flavobacterium chilense (98.64 %). The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization (isDDH) values between the PXU-55T genome assembly and the ones of the most closely related type strains of species of the genus Flavobacterium were 87.3 and 31.9% ( Flavobacterium defluvii ), and 86.1 and 29.9% ( Flavobacterium johnsoniae ). Menaquinone MK-6 was the major respiratory quinone. As major polar lipids, phosphatidylethanolamine, an ornithine lipid and the unidentified polar lipids L2, L3 and L4 lacking a functional group were found. Moderate to minor amounts of another ornithine lipid, the unidentified lipid L1 and a glycolipid were present, as well. The major polyamine is sym-homospermidine. The fatty acid profiles contained major amounts of iso-C15:0, iso-C15:0 3-OH, iso-C17:0 3-OH, C15:0, summed feature 3 (C16:1ω7c and/or iso-C15:0 2-OH) and various hydroxylated fatty acids in smaller amounts, among them iso C16:0 3-OH, C16:0 3-OH and C15:0 3-OH, which supported the classification of the isolate as a member of the genus Flavobacterium . Physiological and biochemical characterisation and ANI calculations with the type strains of the most closely related species allowed a clear phenotypic and genotypic differentiation of the strain. For this reason, we propose that strain PXU-55T (=CIP 111646T=CCM 8914T) represents a novel species with the name Flavobacterium panici sp. nov.

Brevibacillus migulae sp. nov., isolated from a Yellow River sediment sample
More LessStrain CFH S0501T, a novel Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, endospore-forming and motile micro-organism with peritrichous flagella, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from the Yellow River in Henan Province, PR China. Optimum growth was observed at 28 °C, pH 7.0 and without NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the strain belonged to the genus Brevibacillus and was closely related to Brevibacillus centrosporus DSM 8445T and Brevibacillus ginsengisoli Gsoil 3088T (with 96.8 and 96.7 % sequence similarity, respectively). The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. Major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. Polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified phospholipids and an unidentified polar lipid. The cell-wall peptidoglycan was found to contain meso-diaminopimelic acid. The genome size was 5.26 Mbp with a G+C content of 49.7 mol%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and in silico DNA–DNAhybridization (DDH) values between CFH S0501T and the other species of the genus Brevibacillus were found to be low (ANIm <86.11 %, ANIb <70.30 % and DDH <25.00 %). Based on physiological properties, chemotaxonomic characteristics and low ANI and DDH results, strain CFH S0501T is considered to represent a novel species, for which the name Brevibacillus migulae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CFH S0501T (=DSM 29940T=BCRC 80809T).
