Abstract

Five strains isolated from air samples collected from the Suwon and Jeju regions of the Republic of Korea were studied using polyphasic taxonomic methods. Using 16S rRNA gene sequences and the resulting phylogenetic tree, the strains were primarily identified as members of the genus . Digital DNA–DNA hybridization values and average nucleotide identities values for species delineation (70 and 95–96 %, respectively) between the five strains and their nearest type strains indicated that each strain represented a novel species. All strains were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, mesophilic, rod-shaped and catalase- and oxidase-positive, with red to pink coloured colonies. The genome sizes of the five strains varied from 4.8 to 7.1 Mb and their G+C contents were between 54.1 and 59.4 mol%. Based on their phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic characteristics, we propose to classify these isolates into five novel species within the genus for which we propose the names, sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov., with strains 5116 S-3 (=KACC 21925=JCM 35216), 5116 S-27 (=KACC 21926=JCM 35217), 5413 J-13 (=KACC 21928=JCM 35219), 5516 S-25 (=KACC 21931=JCM 35222) and 5420 S-77 (=KACC 21932=JCM 35223) as the type strains, respectively.
