A bacterial strain, designated WCA-9-b2T, was isolated from the caecal content of an 18-week-old obese C57BL/6NTac male mouse. According to phenotypic analyses, the isolate was rod-shaped, strictly anaerobic, spore-forming, non-motile and Gram-stain-positive, under the conditions tested. Colonies were irregular and non-pigmented. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the isolate belonged to the order Clostridiales with Dorea longicatena ATCC 27755T (94.9 % sequence identity), Ruminococcus gnavus ATCC 29149T (94.8%) and Clostridium scindens ATCC 35704T (94.3%) being the closest relatives. Whole genome sequencing showed an average nucleotide identity <74.23 %, average amino acid identity <64.52–74.67 % and percentage of conserved proteins values <50 % against the nine closest relatives ( D. longicatena , Ruminococcus gnavus , C. scindens , Dorea formicigenerans , Ruminococcus lactaris , Clostridium hylemonae , Merdimonas faecis , Faecalicatena contorta and Faecalicatena fissicatena ). The genome-based G+C content of genomic DNA was 44.4 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0 (24.5%), C18 : 1 cis9 (19.8 %), C16 : 0 DMA (11.7%), C18 : 0 (8.4%) and C14 : 0 (6.6%). Respiratory quinones were not detected. The predominant metabolic end products of glucose fermentation were acetate and succinate. Production of CO2 and H2 were detected. Based on these data, we propose that strain WCA-9-b2T represents a novel species within a novel genus, for which the name Sporofaciens musculi gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WCA-9-b2T (=DSM 106039T=CECT 30156T).

A Gram-stain-negative, short-rod-shaped and pink-pigmented bacterial strain (HB172049T) was isolated from mangrove sediment. Cells grew at 10–45 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and with 0.5–9.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2–5 %). Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the isolate had highest sequence similarities to Pontibacter mucosus DSM 100162T (96.5 %) and Pontibacter korlensis X14-1T (96.5 %). The values of average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization between the isolate and its close neighbours were, respectively, less than 80.1, 81.7 and 23.2 %. Chemotaxonomic analysis indicated that the sole respiratory quinone was MK-7 and the predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 4 and iso-C15 : 0 (42.2 and 24.6 %, respectively). The major polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified glycolipid, one unidentified phospholipid, one unidentified aminophospholipid and two unidentified polar lipids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 52.6 mol%. Based on polyphasic taxonomic characterization, it is proposed that strain HB172049T belongs to the genus Pontibacter and represents a novel species, for which the name Pontibacter mangrovi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HB172049T (=CGMCC 1.16729T=JCM 33333T).

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and non-motile bacterium, strain sand1-3T, was isolated from beach sand collected from Haeundae Beach located in Busan, Republic of Korea. Based on the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence and phylogenetic analyses, Sphingomonas daechungensis CH15-11T (97.0 %), Sphingomonas edaphi DAC4T (96.8 %), Sphingomonas xanthus AE3T (96.5 %) and Sphingomonas oryziterrae YC6722T (96.0 %) were selected for comparing phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics. Cells of strain sand1-3T grew at 7–50 °C (optimum, 30–35 °C), pH 5.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0–8.0) and in the presence of 0–0.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 %). Major polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, sphingoglycolipid, one unidentified glycolipid and one unidentified phosphoglycolipid. The major fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω6c and/or C18 : 1 ω7c) and C18 : 1 2-OH. Moreover, the sole respiratory quinone and major polyamine were identified as ubiquinone-10 and homospermidine, respectively. The genomic DNA G+C content was 65.9 mol%. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization, average nucleotide identity and average amino acid identity values of strain sand1-3T and its reference strains with publicly available genomes were 17.9–18.9 %, 72.0–75.3 % and 63.3–76.5 % respectively. Based on polyphasic evidence, we propose Sphingomonas sabuli sp. nov. as a novel species within the genus Sphingomonas . The type strain is sand1-3T (=KCTC 82358T=NBRC 114538T).

A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, and rod-shaped bacterium, strain ETT8T was isolated from a chemostat culture of microalga Ettlia sp. YC001. Optimal growth was with 0–2% NaCl and at 25–37 °C on R2A medium. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene and genome sequence showed that strain ETT8T belongs to the genus Tabrizicola , with the close neighbours being T. sediminis DRYC-M-16T (98.1 %), T. alkalilacus DJCT (97.6 %), T. fusiformis SY72T (96.9 %), T. piscis K13M18T (96.8 %), and T. aquatica RCRI19T (96.5 %). The genomic comparison of strain ETT8T with type species in the genus Tabrizicola was analysed using the genome-to-genome distance calculator (GGDC), average nucleotide identity (ANI), and average amino acid identity (AAI) (values indicated ≤17.7, ≤75.4 and ≤71.9 %, respectively). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain ETT8T was 64.4 %, plus C18 : 1  ω6c and C18 : 0-iso were the major fatty acids and Q-10 the major respiratory quinone. Strain ETT8T contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine aminolipid, and four unidentified lipids as the major polar lipids. Based on the chemotaxonomic, genotypic, and phenotype results, strain ETT8T was recognized as a novel species of the genus Tabrizicola for which the name Tabrizicola algicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ETT8T (=KCTC 72206T=JCM 31893T=MCC 4339T).

The genus Acidihalobacter has three validated species, Acidihalobacter ferrooxydans , Acidihalobacter prosperus and Acidihalobacter aeolinanus, all of which were isolated from Vulcano island, Italy. They are obligately chemolithotrophic, aerobic, acidophilic and halophilic in nature and use either ferrous iron or reduced sulphur as electron donors. Recently, a novel strain was isolated from an acidic, saline drain in the Yilgarn region of Western Australia. Strain F5T has an absolute requirement for sodium chloride (>5 mM) and is osmophilic, growing in elevated concentrations (>1 M) of magnesium sulphate. A defining feature of its physiology is its ability to catalyse the oxidative dissolution of the most abundant copper mineral, chalcopyrite, suggesting a potential role in biomining. Originally categorized as a strain of A. prosperus , 16S rRNA gene phylogeny and multiprotein phylogenies derived from clusters of orthologous proteins (COGS) of ribosomal protein families and universal protein families unambiguously demonstrate that strain F5T forms a well-supported separate branch as a sister clade to A. prosperus and is clearly distinguishable from A. ferrooxydans DSM 14175T and A. aeolinanus DSM14174T. Results of comparisons between strain F5T and the other Acidihalobacter species, using genome-based average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity, correlation indices of tetra-nucleotide signatures (Tetra) and genome-to-genome distance (digital DNA–DNA hybridization), support the contention that strain F5T represents a novel species of the genus Acidihalobacter . It is proposed that strain F5T should be formally reclassified as Acidihalobacter yilgarnenesis F5T (=DSM 105917T=JCM 32255T).

Members of the genus Geobacillus within the phylum Firmicutes are Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, endospore-forming, obligate thermophiles. In 2016, the genus Geobacillus was subdivided into two genera based on whole-genome approaches. The new genus, Parageobacillus , comprises five genomospecies. In this study, we recommend the reclassification of two Geobacillus species, Geobacillus galactosidasius and Geobacillus yumthangensis , into the genus Parageobacillus . We have applied whole genome approaches to estimate the phylogenetic relatedness among the 18 Geobacillus and Parageobacillus type strains for which genome sequences are currently publicly available. The phylogenomic metrics AAI (average amino acid identity), ANI (average nucleotide identity) and dDDH (digital DNA–DNA hybridization) denoted that the type strains of G. galactosidasius and G. yumthangensis belong to the genus Parageobacillus . Furthermore, a phylogeny based on comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequences, recN gene sequences and core genes identified from the whole-genome analyses designated that the type strains of G. galactosidasius and G. yumthangensis belong in the genus Parageobacillus . With these findings, we consequently propose that G. galactosidasius and G. yumthangensis should be reclassified as Parageobacillus galactosidasius comb. nov. and Parageobacillus yumthangensis comb. nov.

A novel Gram-stain-negative, non-endospore-forming, motile, and aerobic bacterial strain, M105T, was isolated from coral Porites lutea, and was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Global alignment based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that M105T shares the highest sequence identity of 94.5 % with Aliikangiella marina GYP-15T. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and average amino acid identity (AAI) between M105T and A. marina GYP-15T was 69.8 and 71.6 %, respectively. On the basis of the results of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic, phylogenomic, and comparative genomic analyses, it is concluded that M105T should represent a novel species in the genus Aliikangiella , for which the name Aliikangiella coralliicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is M105T (=MCCC 1K03773T= KCTC 72442T). Furthermore, the family Kangiellaceae was classified into two families on the basis of phylogenetic, phylogenomic, polar lipid profile and motility variations. The novel family Pleioneaceae fam. nov. is proposed to accommodate the genera Aliikangiella and Pleionea .

A novel cherry-red-pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, gliding, facultatively anaerobic and rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain WTE16T, was isolated from a sediment sample taken from a marine solar saltern of Wendeng, China (36° 59′ 56.49′′ N 122° 1′ 38.84′′ E). The novel isolate was able to grow at 20–40 °C (optimum 33 °C), at pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and with 1.0–12.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 3.0–5.0 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the most closely related validly published species is Marinilabilia salmonicolor JCM 21150T (96.0 % similarity). Average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity, percentage of conserved proteins and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain WTE16T and Marinilabilia salmonicolor JCM 21150T were 73.8 %, 73.5 %, 63.4 % and 19.5–24.2 %, respectively. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain WTE16T was 40.8 mol%. Chemotaxonomic analysis showed that the sole respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7), and the major fatty acids included iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. The polar lipid profile of strain WTE16T included phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified phospholipids and three unidentified lipids. On the basis of its phylogenetic, phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, genotypic and genomic characteristics, strain WTE16T is suggested to represent a novel species of the genus Marinilabilia , for which the name Marinilabilia rubra sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WTE16T (=KCTC 62599T=MCCC 1H00311T).

A strictly anaerobic bacterium, strain PLL0T, was isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil sampled in Gansu Province, PR China. Cells were rods, non-motile and Gram-stain-positive. The strain grew at 25–37 °C (optimum, 30 °C) in the presence of 0–3 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2 %). Strain PLL0T was able to reduce ferrihydrite, Fe(III) citrate and thiosulphate. The 16S rRNA gene analysis revealed that this strain clustered with the genus Desulfitobacterium , and showed highest similarity to Desulfitobacterium aromaticivorans UKTLT (95.4 %) followed by Desulfitobacterium chlororespirans Co23T (93.9 %). However, strains PLL0T and UKTLT showed no more than 94.0 % similarity to other species of the genus Desulfitobacterium , and formed an independent group in the phylogenetic tree. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between strain PLL0T and Desulfitobacterium species (except for D. aromaticivorans ) were 67.4–68.5 % and 12.6–12.7 %, respectively, which are far below the threshold for delineation of a new species. Based on ANI, dDDH, average amino acid identity, phylogenetic analysis and physiologic differences from the previously described taxa, we suggest that strain PLL0T represents a novel species of a novel genus, for which the name Paradesulfitobacterium ferrireducens gen. nov. sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PLL0T (=MCCC 1K05549=KCTC 25248). We also propose the reclassification of D. aromaticivorans as Paradesulfitobacterium aromaticivorans comb. nov.

Two strains isolated from soil samples were designated as YH-JAE5T and YH-JAE2. The isolates were facultative anaerobic, Gram-stain-variable, motile, rod-shaped bacteria. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the isolates belonged to the genus Paenibacillus , but the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities were <98 % when compared with other species within the genus. Analysis of rpoB gene revealed the isolates formed a sub-cluster with P. chibensis . The only menaquinone identified was MK-7. The two isolates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid within their cell wall peptidoglycan. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phospholipid, aminophospholipids, and lipids. The major fatty acids were C15 : 0 anteiso and C15 : 0 iso. The average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity, and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between isolate YH-JAE5T and the most closely related reference strain ( Paenibacillus chibensis KCTC 3758T) were 81.7, 84.8 and 23.4 %, respectively. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 47.4 mol%. Thus, the polyphasic data revealed that YH-JAE2 (=KCTC 43239=JCM 34435) and YH-JAE5T (=KCTC 43059=JCM 33533) represent a new species. The name Paenibacillus dokdonensis sp. nov. is proposed.
