A taxonomic study of two fluorescent Pseudomonas strains (HJ/4T and SJ/9/1T) isolated from calcite moonmilk samples obtained from two caves in the Moravian Karst in the Czech Republic was carried out. Results of initial 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis assigned both strains into the genus Pseudomonas and showed Pseudomonas yamanorum 8H1T as their closest neighbour with 99.8 and 99.7 % 16S rRNA gene similarities to strains HJ/4T and SJ/9/1T, respectively. Subsequent sequence analysis of rpoD, rpoB and gyrB housekeeping genes confirmed the highest similarity of both isolates to P. yamanorum 8H1T, but phylogeny and sequences similarities implied that they are representatives of two novel species within the genus Pseudomonas . Further study comprising whole-genome sequencing followed by average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization calculations, repetitive sequence-based PCR fingerprinting with the REP and ERIC primers, automated ribotyping with the EcoRI restriction endonuclease, cellular fatty acid analysis, quinone and polar lipid characterization, and extensive biotyping confirmed clear separation of both analysed strains from the remaining Pseudomonas species and showed that they represent two novel species within the genus Pseudomonas for which the names Pseudomonas karstica sp. nov. (type strain HJ/4T=CCM 7891T=LMG 27930T) and Pseudomonas spelaei sp. nov. (type strain SJ/9/1T=CCM 7893T=LMG 27931T) are suggested.

Four unknown strains belonging to the genus Arthrobacter were isolated from plateau wildlife on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau of PR China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the four isolates were separated into two clusters. Cluster I (strains 785T and 208) had the greatest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Arthrobacter citreus (98.6 and 98.7 %, respectively), Arthrobacter luteolus (98.0 and 98.1%, respectively), Arthrobacter gandavensis (97.9 and 98.0 %, respectively) and Arthrobacter koreensis (97.6 and 97.7 %, respectively). Likewise, cluster II (strains J391T and J915) had the highest sequence similarity to Arthrobacter ruber (98.6 and 98.3 %, respectively) and Arthrobacter agilis (98.1 and 97.9  %, respectively). Average nucleotide identity and the digital DNA–DNA hybridization values illustrated that the two type strains, 785T and J391T, represented two separate novel species that are distinct from all currently recognized species in the genus Arthrobacter . These strains had DNA G+C contents of 66.0–66.1 mol% (cluster I) and 68.0 mol% (cluster II). The chemotaxonomic properties of strains 785T and J391T were in line with those of the genus Arthrobacter : anteiso-C15:0 (79.3 and 40.8 %, respectively) as the major cellular fatty acid, MK-8(H2) (65.8 %) or MK-9(H2) (75.6 %) as the predominant respiratory quinone, a polar lipid profile comprising diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, glycolipids and phospholipid, and A3α or A4α as the cell wall peptidoglycan type. On the basis of our results, two novel species in the genus Arthrobacter are proposed, namely Arthrobacter yangruifuii sp. nov. (type strain, 785T=CGMCC 1.16725T=GDMCC 1.1592T=JCM 33491T) and Arthrobacter zhaoguopingii sp. nov. (type strain, J391T=CGMCC 1.17382T=GDMCC 1.1667T=JCM 33841T).

Streptomyces Albus

In phylogenetic analyses of the genus Streptomyces using 16S rRNA gene sequences, Streptomyces albus subsp . albus NRRL B-1811T forms a cluster with five other species having identical or nearly identical 16S rRNA gene sequences. Moreover, the morphological and physiological characteristics of these other species, including Streptomyces almquistii NRRL B-1685T, Streptomyces flocculus NRRL B-2465T, Streptomyces gibsonii NRRL B-1335T and Streptomyces rangoonensis NRRL B-12378T are quite similar. This cluster is of particular taxonomic interest because Streptomyces albus is the type species of the genus Streptomyces . The related strains were subjected to multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) utilizing partial sequences of the housekeeping genes atpD, gyrB, recA, rpoB and trpB and confirmation of previously reported phenotypic characteristics. The five strains formed a coherent cluster supported by a 100 % bootstrap value in phylogenetic trees generated from sequence alignments prepared by concatenating the sequences of the housekeeping genes, and identical tree topology was observed using various different tree-making algorithms. Moreover, all but one strain, S. flocculus NRRL B-2465T, exhibited identical sequences for all of the five housekeeping gene loci sequenced, but NRRL B-2465T still exhibited an MLSA evolutionary distance of 0.005 from the other strains, a value that is lower than the 0.007 MLSA evolutionary distance threshold proposed for species-level relatedness. These data support a proposal to reclassify S. almquistii , S. flocculus , S. gibsonii and S. rangoonensis as later heterotypic synonyms of S. albus with NRRL B-1811T as the type strain. The MLSA sequence database also demonstrated utility for quickly and conclusively confirming that numerous strains within the ARS Culture Collection had been previously misidentified as subspecies of S. albus and that Streptomyces albus subsp. patho cidicus should be redescribed as a novel species, Streptomyces pathocidini sp. nov., with the type strain NRRL B-24287T.

Two novel actinobacteria, designated strains GY16T and T44T, were isolated from the leaves and rhizosphere soil of Broussonetia papyrifera, respectively. A polyphasic approach was used for determining their taxonomic position. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain GY16T exhibited highest similarities to Streptomyces cinereoruber subsp. fructofermentans CGMCC 4.1593T (98.82 %), Streptomyces deccanensis KCTC 19241T (98.76 %), Streptomyces scabiei NRRL B-16523T (98.69 %), Streptomyces europaeiscabiei KACC 20186T (98.69 %) and Streptomyces rishiriensis NBRC 13407T (98.69 %), and strain T44T showed 99.2, 99.1, 99.1 and <98.7 % sequence similarities to Streptomyces filipinensis CGMCC 4.1452T, Streptomyces achromogenes subsp. achromogenes DSM 40028T, Streptomyces durhamensis DSM 40539T and other Streptomyces species, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain GY16T formed an independent subclade, which indicated that strain GY16T should belong to a potential novel species; and strain T44T was closely related to S. filipinensis CGMCC 4.1452T, S. achromogenes subsp. achromogenes DSM 40028T, S. durhamensis DSM 40539T and S. yokosukanensis DSM 40224T. However, the multilocus sequence analysis evolutionary distance, average nucleotide identity and DNA–DNA hybridization values between closely related relatives were far from the species-level thresholds. In addition, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics further confirmed that strains GY16T and T44T belonged to two distinct species. Based on these results, it is concluded that the isolated strains represent novel species within the genus Streptomyces , for which the names Streptomyces phaeolivaceus sp. nov. (type strain GY16T=CICC 24807T=KCTC 49326T) and Streptomyces broussonetiae sp. nov. (type strain T44T=CICC 24819T=JCM 33918T) are proposed.

Six novel strains (ZJ34T, ZJ561, ZJ750T, ZJ1629, zg-993T and zg-987) isolated from faeces and respiratory tracts of Marmota himalayana from the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau of PR China were characterized comprehensively. The results of analyses of the 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences indicated that the six strains represent three novel species of the genus Actinomyces , and are closely related to Actinomyces urogenitalis DSM 15434T (16S rRNA gene sequences similarities, 94.9–98.7 %), Actinomyces weissii CCUG 61299T (95.6–96.6 %), Actinomyces bovis CCTCC AB2010168T (95.7 %) and Actinomyces bowdenii DSM 15435T (95.2–96.4 %), with values of digital DNA–DNA hybridization less than 30.1 % when compared with their closest relatives but higher than 70 % within each pair of novel strains (ZJ34T/ZJ561, ZJ750T/ZJ1629 and zg-993T/zg-987). All the novel strains had C18 : 1 ω9c and C16 : 0 as the two most abundant major fatty acids. MK-9(H4) or MK-8(H4) was the sole or predominant respiratory quinone of strains ZJ34T, ZJ750T and zg-993T and their polar lipid profiles differed, but all had diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidyl inositol mannoside as major components. ZJ750T shared identical peptidoglycan amino acid profile with ZJ34T (alanine, glutamic acid, lysine and ornithine) and the same whole-cell sugar composition with zg-993T (glucose, rhamnose and ribose). Strain zg-993T contained alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine and lysine in the peptidoglycan, and the only sugar in ZJ34T was ribose. The DNA G+C contents of the novel strains were within the range of 65.8–70.1 mol%. On the basis of the results from the aforementioned analyses, the six novel strains were classified as representing three novel species of genus Actinomyces , for which the names Actinomyces faecalis sp. nov. [type strain ZJ34T (=GDMCC 1.1952T=JCM 34355T)], Actinomyces respiraculi sp. nov. [type strain ZJ750T (=GDMCC 1.1950T=JCM 34356T)] and Actinomyces trachealis sp. nov. [type strain zg-993T (=GDMCC 1.1956T=JCM 34357T)] were proposed, respectively.

Three enterococcal isolates, CCRI-16620, CCRI-16986T and CCRI-16985T, originating from water were characterized using morphological, biochemical and molecular taxonomic methods. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis classified all three strains in the Enterococcus faecalis species group. The phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the three isolates form two separate branches. The first branch is represented by strains CCRI-16620 and CCRI-16986T and the second branch by strain CCRI-16985T. Further sequence analysis of the housekeeping genes rpoA (encoding RNA polymerase α subunit), pheS (phenylalanyl-tRNA synthase), tufA (elongation factor Tu) and atpD (ATP synthase β-subunit) as well as the results of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) DNA fingerprinting and DNA–DNA hybridization experiments confirmed the distinct status of these strains. Moreover, biochemical tests allowed phenotypic differentiation of the strains from the other species of the E. faecalis species group. On the basis of the results obtained, the names Enterococcus ureasiticus sp. nov. (type strain CCRI-16986T = CCUG 59304T = DSM 23328T = LMG 26304T) and Enterococcus quebecensis sp. nov. (type strain CCRI-16985T = CCUG 59306T = DSM 23327T = LMG 26306T) are proposed for the two hitherto undescribed species.

Two strains (JA266T and JA333) of Gram-negative, rod-shaped, phototrophic, purple non-sulfur bacteria were isolated from a freshwater fish pond and an industrial effluent. Both strains were capable of phototrophic and chemotrophic growth. Bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the spirilloxanthin series were present as photosynthetic pigments. The major fatty acid for both strains was C18 : 1ω7c (>65 %), with minor amounts of 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0, C16 : 1ω7c and C18 : 0 also present. Both strains have the lamellar type of intracellular photosynthetic membranes. Ubiquinone-10 (Q10) and rhodoquinone-10 (RQ10) were present as primary quinone components. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine were the major polar lipids, while minor amounts of amino lipids (AL1, AL2) and an unidentified lipid (L1) were common to both strains. The DNA G+C contents of strains JA266T and JA333 were 71.3 and 69.9 mol%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that both strains clustered with members of the genus Rhodoplanes in the class Alphaproteobacteria . Strains JA266T and JA333 had gene sequence similarity of 98.7 and 98.9 % with Rhodoplanes serenus TUT3530T, 96.4 and 96.5 % with Rhodoplanes elegans AS130T, respectively, and less than 96 % with other members of the genus Rhodoplanes . 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the two strains was 99.3 % and they exhibited high (84.7 %) relatedness based on DNA–DNA hybridization. Furthermore, both strains had less than 65 % DNA–DNA relatedness with the type strain R. serenus TUT3530T. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data, it is proposed that strain JA266T be classified as a novel species of the genus Rhodoplanes , with the species name Rhodoplanes piscinae sp. nov. The type strain of the proposed novel species is JA266T ( = JCM 14934T = KCTC 5627T), while strain JA333 ( = NBRC 107574 = KCTC 5962) is an additional strain.

A re-evaluation of the taxonomic position of five strains, one assigned to Cronobacter sakazakii (strain 1330T, isolated from spiced meat purchased in Slovakia), two previously assigned to Cronobacter genomospecies 1 (strains NCTC 9529T and 731, isolated from water and a leg infection, respectively) and two previously assigned to Cronobacter turicensis (strains 96 and 1435, isolated from onion powder and rye flour, respectively) was carried out. The analysis included phenotypic characterization, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of seven housekeeping genes (atpD, fusA, glnS, gltB, gyrB, infB, ppsA; 3036 bp). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and MLSA showed that strain 1330T formed an independent phylogenetic lineage in the MLSA, with Cronobacter dublinensis LMG 23823T as the closest neighbour. DNA–DNA reassociation and phenotypic analysis revealed that strain 1330T represented a novel species, for which the name Cronobacter condimenti sp. nov. is proposed (type strain 1330T = CECT 7863T = LMG 26250T). Strains NCTC 9529T, 731, 96 and 1435 clustered together within an independent phylogenetic lineage, with C. turicensis LMG 23827T as the closest neighbour in the MLSA. DNA–DNA reassociation and phenotypic analysis confirmed that these strains represent a novel species, for which the name Cronobacter universalis sp. nov. is proposed (type strain NCTC 9529T = CECT 7864T = LMG 26249T).

The 16S Rrna Gene

Four novel independent strains of Streptococcus spp. were isolated from faeces of alpaca (SL1232T), cattle (KCJ4950), and from respiratory tract of wild California sea lions (CSL7508T, CSL7591T). The strains were indole-, oxidase- and catalase-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile Gram-positive cocci in short and long chains, facultative anaerobes. The 16S rRNA gene of SL1232T and KCJ4950 shared 99.40–99.60% nucleotide similarity to strains of S. equinus, S. lutetiensis, S. infantarius, and the 16S rRNA gene of CSL7508T and CSL7591T demonstrated 98.72 and 98.92% similarity, respectively, to S. marimammalium . All other known Streptococcus species had the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of ≤95%. The genomes were sequenced for the novel strains. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) analysis for strains SL1232T and KCJ4950, showed the highest similarity to S. equinus, S. lutetiensis, and S. infantarius with 85.21, 87.17, 88.47, 85.54, 87.47 and 88.89%, respectively, and strains CSL7508T and CSL7591T to S. marimammalium with 87.16 and 83.97%, respectively. Results of ANI were confirmed by pairwise digital DNA–DNA hybridization and phylogeny, which also revealed that the strains belong to three novel species of the genus Streptococcus . Phenotypical features of the novel species were in congruence with closely related members of the genus Streptococcus and gave negative reactions with the tested Lancefield serological groups (A-D, F and G). MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry supported identification of the species. Based on these data, we propose three novel species of the genus Streptococcus , for which the name Streptococcus vicugnae sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain SL1232T (=NCTC 14341T=DSM 110741T=CCUG 74371T), Streptococcus zalophi sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain CSL7508T (=NCTC 14410T=DSM 110742T=CCUG 74374T) and Streptococcus pacificus sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain CSL7591T (=NCTC 14455T=DSM 111148T=CCUG 74655T). The genome G+C content is 36.89, 34.85, and 35.34 % and draft genome sizes are 1906993, 1581094 and 1656080 bp for strains SL1232T, CSL7508T, and CSL7591T, respectively.

Three Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile and rod-shaped bacterial strains, 7Q-K02T, DHF22T and DHOM02T, were isolated from forest soil sampled at Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve, Guangdong Province, China. Strains 7Q-K02T, DHF22T and DHOM02T grew at 4–37, 4–42 and 12–37 °C, pH 3.0–8.5, 3.5–8.5 and 5.0–8.0, and in the presence of 0–3.0, 0–3.5 and 0–2.5 % (w/v) NaCl; with optima at 28–33, 28 and 28–33 °C, pH 3.5–6.5, 4.0–5.5 and 6.5–7.0, and 0–1.5, 0–1.5 and 0.5–1.5 % (w/v) NaCl, respectively. Strains 7Q-K02T and DHF22T have the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 99.0 and 98.0 % to Paraburkholderia sacchari LMG 19450T and 97.7 % between themselves, while strain DHOM02T shares the highest similarity of 98.4 % to ‘Burkholderia rinojensis’ A396T followed by 98.3 % to Burkholderia plantarii ATCC 43733T. In the 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogram, strain 7Q-K02T formed a sister branch with Paraburkholderia sacchari , Paraburkholderia oxyphila and Paraburkholderia paradisi , and strain DHF22T was separated from all other species within the genus Paraburkholderia , while strain DHOM02T formed a separated clade with members of the genus Burkholderia . The DNA G+C contents of strains 7Q-K02T, DHF22T and DHOM02T wwe 64.3, 65.4 and 66.6 %, respectively. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of strains 7Q-K02T, DHF22T and closely related Paraburkholderia strains were in the ranges of 25.5–43.7 % and 81.5–91.3 %, respectively. While dDDH and ANI values between strain DHOM02T and Burkholderia strains with genome sequence data were in the ranges of 22.4–31.0 % and 78.2–86.1 %, respectively. These three strains have the same major respiratory quinone: ubiquinone-8. Strains 7Q-K02T, DHF22T and DHOM02T have C16 : 0, C17 : 0 cyclo, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c/C18 : 1  ω6c) as their major fatty acid compositions. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic, genomic analyses and chemotaxonomic data, strains 7Q-K02T and DHF22T represent two novel species of the genus Paraburkholderia , for which the names Paraburkholderia acidiphila sp. nov. (type strain 7Q-K02T=CGMCC 1.15433T=KCTC 62472T=LMG 29209T) and Paraburkholderia acidisoli sp. nov. (type strain DHF22T=GDMCC 1.1448T=LMG 30262T) are proposed, while strain DHOM02T represents a novel species in the genus Burkholderia , for which the name Burkholderia guangdongensis sp. nov. (type strain DHOM02T=KCTC 42625T=LMG 28843T) is proposed. We also propose to transfer Burkholderia ultramafica to the genus Paraburkholderia as Paraburkholderia ultramafica comb. nov. based mainly on the results of phylogenomic analysis.

The Family

Two Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile bacteria, designated KMS-5T and CYK-10T, were isolated from freshwater environments. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity results indicated that these two novel strains belong to the family Rhodobacteraceae . Strain KMS-5T is closely related to species within the genus Tabrizicola (96.1–96.8 % sequence similarity) and Cypionkella (96.5–97.0 %). Strain CYK-10T is closest to Rhodobacter thermarum YIM 73036T with 96.6 % sequence similarity. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and an up-to-date bacterial core gene set showed that strain KMS-5T is affiliated with species in the genus Tabrizicola and strain CYK-10T is placed in a distinct clade with Rhodobacter blasticus ATCC 33485T, Rhodobacter thermarum YIM 73036T and Rhodobacter flagellatus SYSU G03088T. These two strains shared common chemotaxonomic features comprising Q-10 as the major quinone, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine as the principal polar lipids, and C18 : 1  ω7c as the main fatty acid. The average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between these two novel isolates and their closest relatives were below the cut-off values of 95–96, 90 and 70 %, respectively, used for species demarcation. The obtained polyphasic taxonomic data suggested that strain KMS-5T represents a novel species within the genus Tabrizicola , for which the name Tabrizicola oligotrophica sp. nov. is proposed with KMS-5T (=BCRC 81196T=LMG 31337T) as the type strain, and strain CYK-10T should represent a novel species of the genus Rhodobacter , for which the name Rhodobacter tardus sp. nov. is proposed with CYK-10T (=BCRC 81191T=LMG 31336T) as the type strain.
