Reclassification of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Haemophilus aphrophilus, Haemophilus paraphrophilus and Haemophilus segnis as Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans gen. nov., comb. nov., Aggregatibacter aphrophilus comb. nov. and Aggregatibacter segnis comb. nov., and emended description of Aggregatibacter aphrophilus to include V factor-dependent and V factor-independent isolates
More LessThe aim of this study was to reinvestigate the relationships and the generic affiliations of the species Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Haemophilus aphrophilus, Haemophilus paraphrophilus and Haemophilus segnis. The nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase gene (nadV) conferring V factor-independent growth was identified in Haemophilus aphrophilus. The gene encodes a polypeptide of 462 amino acids that shows 74.5 % amino acid sequence identity to the corresponding enzyme from Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. Ten isolates of Haemophilus paraphrophilus all carried a nadV pseudogene. DNA from Haemophilus aphrophilus was able to transform Haemophilus paraphrophilus into the NAD-independent phenotype. The transformants carried a full-length nadV inserted in the former locus of the pseudogene. The DNA–DNA relatedness between the type strains of Haemophilus aphrophilus and Haemophilus paraphrophilus was 77 %. We conclude that the division into two species Haemophilus aphrophilus and Haemophilus paraphrophilus is not justified and that Haemophilus paraphrophilus should be considered a later heterotypic synonym of Haemophilus aphrophilus. Forty strains of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Haemophilus aphrophilus and Haemophilus segnis were investigated by multilocus sequence analysis. The 40 strains form a monophyletic group clearly separate from other evolutionary lineages of the family Pasteurellaceae. We propose the transfer of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Haemophilus aphrophilus and Haemophilus segnis to a new genus Aggregatibacter gen. nov. as Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans comb. nov. (the type species; type strain ATCC 33384T=CCUG 13227T=CIP 52.106T=DSM 8324T=NCTC 9710T), Aggregatibacter aphrophilus comb. nov. (type strain ATCC 33389T=CCUG 3715T=CIP 70.73T=NCTC 5906T) and Aggregatibacter segnis comb. nov. (type strain HK316T=ATCC 33393T=CCUG 10787T=CCUG 12838T=CIP 103292T=NCTC 10977T). The species of the genus Aggregatibacter are independent of X factor and variably dependent on V factor for growth in vitro.

Description of Sphingobium fuliginis sp. nov., a phenanthrene-degrading bacterium from a fly ash dumping site, and reclassification of Sphingomonas cloacae as Sphingobium cloacae comb. nov.
Om Prakash and Rup LalA phenanthrene-degrading bacterium, strain TKPT, was isolated from a fly ash dumping site of the thermal power plant in Panki, Kanpur, India, by an enrichment culture method using phenanthrene as the sole source of carbon and energy. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the strain belonged to the genus Sphingobium, as it showed highest sequence similarity to Sphingobium herbicidovorans DSM 11019T (97.3 %) and Sphingomonas cloacae JCM 10874T (96.5 %), compared with only 91–93 % similarity to members of other genera such as Sphingomonas sensu stricto, Novosphingobium, Sphingopyxis and Sphingosinicella. In DNA–DNA hybridization experiments with strains that were closely related phylogenetically and in terms of 16S rRNA gene sequences, i.e. Sphingobium herbicidovorans DSM 11019T and Sphingomonas cloacae JCM 10874T, strain TKPT showed less than 70 % relatedness. Strain TKPT contained sphingoglycolipids SGL-1 and SGL-2 and 18 : 1ω7c as the predominant fatty acid, with 16 : 0 as a minor component and 14 : 0 2-OH as the major 2-hydroxy fatty acid. Thus, phylogenetic analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization, fatty acid and polar lipid profiles and differences in physiological and morphological features from the most closely related members of the Sphingobium group showed that strain TKPT represents a distinct species of Sphingobium. The name Sphingobium fuliginis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain TKPT (=MTCC 7295T=CCM 7327T). Sphingomonas cloacae JCM 10874T formed a coherent cluster with members of Sphingobium, did not reduce nitrate to nitrite and had a fatty acid profile similar to those of Sphingobium species; hence Sphingomonas cloacae should be transferred to the genus Sphingobium as Sphingobium cloacae comb. nov., with the type strain JCM 10874T (=DSM 14926T).

Pseudomonas pohangensis sp. nov., isolated from seashore sand in Korea
A novel bacterium, designated strain H3-R18T, was isolated from seashore sand collected from Homi cape, Pohang city, Korea. Cells were Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, cream-coloured, mesophilic and slightly halotolerant. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the organism was a member of the genus Pseudomonas, but the sequence showed ⩽96.3 % sequence similarity to that of the type strains of all recognized Pseudomonas species. Highest sequence similarities were to Pseudomonas brenneri CFML 97-391T (96.3 %) and Pseudomonas migulae CIP 105470T (96.3 %). The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 and C16 : 0, with lesser amounts of C12 : 0, C12 : 0 3-OH, C18 : 1ω7c and C14 : 0. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-9. The DNA G+C content was 64.0 mol%. The phylogenetic, phenotypic and genetic properties of strain H3-R18T suggest that it represents a novel species, for which the name Pseudomonas pohangensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is H3-R18T (=KACC 11517T=DSM 17875T).

Rubrivivax benzoatilyticus sp. nov., an aromatic, hydrocarbon-degrading purple betaproteobacterium
A brown-coloured bacterium was isolated from photoheterotrophic (benzoate) enrichments of flooded paddy soil from Andhra Pradesh, India. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain JA2T was shown to belong to the class Betaproteobacteria, related to Rubrivivax gelatinosus (99 % sequence similarity). Cells of strain JA2T are Gram-negative, motile rods with monopolar single flagella. The strain contained bacteriochlorophyll a and most probably the carotenoids spirilloxanthin and sphaeroidene, but did not have internal membrane structures. Intact cells had absorption maxima at 378, 488, 520, 590, 802 and 884 nm. No growth factors were required. Strain JA2T grew on benzoate, 2-aminobenzoate (anthranilate), 4-aminobenzoate, 4-hydroxybenzoate, phthalate, phenylalanine, trans-cinnamate, benzamide, salicylate, cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol and cyclohexane-2-carboxylate as carbon sources and/or electron donors. The DNA G+C content was 74.9 mol%. Based on DNA–DNA hybridization studies, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and morphological and physiological characteristics, strain JA2T is different from representatives of other photosynthetic species of the Betaproteobacteria and was recognised as representing a novel species, for which the name Rubrivivax benzoatilyticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JA2T (=ATCC BAA-35T=JCM 13220T=MTCC 7087T).

Sphingomonas dokdonensis sp. nov., isolated from soil
More LessA Gram-negative, rod-shaped, Sphingomonas-like bacterial strain, DS-4T, was isolated from soil of Dokdo, Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Strain DS-4T grew optimally on trypticase soy agar medium without NaCl at pH 6.0–6.5 and 25 °C. It contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c, C16 : 0, C14 : 0 2-OH and C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH as the major fatty acids. Sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and unidentified phospholipid were the major polar lipids. The DNA G+C content was 66.9 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DS-4T fell within the evolutionary radiation comprising Sphingomonas species. Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain DS-4T and the type strains of Sphingomonas species ranged from 93.0 to 97.6 %. DNA–DNA relatedness data and differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic distinctiveness, demonstrated that strain DS-4T differs from the recognized Sphingomonas species. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, this strain represents a novel species of the genus Sphingomonas, for which the name Sphingomonas dokdonensis sp. nov. is proposed, with DS-4T (=KCTC 12541T=CIP 108841T) as the type strain.

Burkholderia oklahomensis sp. nov., a Burkholderia pseudomallei-like species formerly known as the Oklahoma strain of Pseudomonas pseudomallei
More LessC6786, the clinical isolate of the ‘Oklahoma’ strain of Pseudomonas (now Burkholderia) pseudomallei, was originally isolated in 1973 from a wound infection resulting from a farming accident in Oklahoma, USA. Environmental isolates C7532 and C7533 from the Oklahoma accident site were found to match C6786. These three isolates and a clinical isolate originally identified as B. pseudomallei that was recovered from a person in Georgia, USA, involved in an automobile accident were characterized by biochemical, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, multilocus sequence typing and DNA–DNA hybridization analyses. Results indicated that these strains comprise a novel species. The name Burkholderia oklahomensis sp. nov. is proposed, with strain C6786T (=LMG 23618T=NCTC 13387T=CCUG 51349T) as the type strain.

Rheinheimera perlucida sp. nov., a marine bacterium of the Gammaproteobacteria isolated from surface water of the central Baltic Sea
More LessA bacterial isolate from the Baltic Sea, BA131T, was characterized for its physiological and biochemical features, fatty acid profile, G+C content and phylogenetic position based on comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The strain was isolated from surface water of the central Baltic Sea during the decay of a plankton bloom. Phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed a clear affiliation with the Gammaproteobacteria, and showed closest phylogenetic relationships with the genera Alishewanella and Rheinheimera. The G+C content of the DNA of strain BA131T was 48.9 mol%. Cells were non-pigmented, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile by means of a single polar flagellum and catalase- and oxidase-positive. Growth was observed at salinities from 0 to 8 %, with an optimum at 1–3 %. Temperature for growth ranged from 4 to 37 °C, with an optimum around 25 °C. The fatty acids were dominated by 16 : 0 (17–18 %) and by unsaturated compounds (>61 % of the total): 16 : 1ω7c (24–33 %), 17 : 1ω8c (14–18 %) and 18 : 1ω7c (9–12 %). Based on the data presented, BA131T is proposed as the type strain of a novel species of the genus Rheinheimera, Rheinheimera perlucida sp. nov. The type strain is BA131T (=LMG 23581T=CIP 109200T).

Glaciecola nitratireducens sp. nov., isolated from seawater
More LessA marine bacterial strain, FR1064T, was isolated from a surface seawater sample collected off Jeju Island, South Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate belonged to the Gammaproteobacteria and was related to the genus Glaciecola with 97.6 % sequence similarity to Glaciecola pallidula, its nearest phylogenetic neighbour. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain FR1064T and G. pallidula ACAM 615T was 55 %. Cells of the novel isolate were Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, motile and halophilic, with an optimum sea salts concentration of 4–7 %. The major fatty acids were straight-chain saturated (C16 : 0), summed feature 3 and monounsaturated fatty acid C18 : 1. The DNA G+C content was 44 mol%. Several phenotypic characteristics differentiated the novel isolate from all previously described members of the genus Glaciecola. The polyphasic data obtained in this study clearly demonstrate that strain FR1064T represents a novel species of the genus Glaciecola. The name Glaciecola nitratireducens sp. nov. is therefore proposed, with strain FR1064T (=KCTC 12276T=JCM 12485T) as the type strain.

Loktanella koreensis sp. nov., isolated from sea sand in Korea
A bacterial strain, GA2-M3T, isolated from a sea-sand sample in Korea, was subjected to polyphasic taxonomic characterization. Cells of strain GA2-M3T were Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming and short rod- to ovoid-shaped. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies confirmed that the bacterium fell within the radiation of the genus Loktanella. Similarity levels between the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain GA2-M3T and those of type strains of Loktanella species with validly published names were 93.5–96.1 %; highest sequence similarity was with Loktanella rosea. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain GA2-M3T was 60.0 mol% and the predominant ubiquinone was Q-10. Major fatty acids were 18 : 1ω7c, 18 : 0 and 18 : 1ω7c 11-methyl. On the basis of the evidence presented, it is proposed that strain GA2-M3T represents a novel species, for which the name Loktanella koreensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GA2-M3T (=KACC 11519T=DSM 17925T).

Idiomarina homiensis sp. nov., isolated from seashore sand in Korea
More LessA halophilic, aerobic bacterium, designated PO-M2T, was isolated from seashore sand, from Pohang, Korea and characterized on the basis of physiological and biochemical features. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed a clear affiliation of the novel strain with members of the genus Idiomarina. Sequence similarities between strain PO-M2T and the type strains of species belonging to the genus Idiomarina ranged from 94.3 to 95.5 %. Cells of strain PO-M2T were straight or slightly curved rods and formed light-yellow colonies on marine agar medium. The major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone (Q-8) and the predominant cellular fatty acids were C15 : 0 iso (19.3 %), C17 : 1 ω9c iso (11.9 %), C17 : 0 iso (10.9 %), C18 : 1 ω7c (10.4 %), C16 : 0 (9.0 %) and C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C15 : 0 iso 2-OH (7.2 %). The G+C content of the DNA was 45.1 mol%. Based on physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic traits and comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, it is demonstrated that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Idiomarina, for which the name Idiomarina homiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PO-M2T (=KACC 11514T=DSM 17923T).

Cryptococcus mujuensis sp. nov. and Cryptococcus cuniculi sp. nov., basidiomycetous yeasts isolated from wild rabbit faeces
More LessTwo previously undescribed anamorphic yeasts, strains T-11T and T-26T, recovered from wild rabbit faecal pellets collected in Muju, Korea, were identified using phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. The isolates were characterized by the proliferation of budding cells, positive diazonium blue B and urease reactions, the presence of Q-10 as the major ubiquinone, the presence of xylose in whole-cell hydrolysates and the inability to ferment sugars. Phylogenetic analyses based on 26S rRNA gene partial sequences revealed that strain T-11T was located in the Bulleromyces clade and was related to Sirobasidium intermedium, Tremella exigua, Cryptococcus cellulolyticus and Bullera pseudoalba. Strain T-26T was located in the Mesenterica clade and was closely related to Cryptococcus sp. F6 and Cryptococcus heveanensis CBS 8976. Sequence divergence values of more than 4 % from other described Cryptococcus species, together with the phenotypic differences, showed that the isolated yeasts represent previously unrecognized members of this genus. Therefore, two novel yeast species are proposed: Cryptococcus mujuensis sp. nov., with strain T-11T (=KCTC 17231T=CBS 10308T) as the type strain, and Cryptococcus cuniculi sp. nov., with strain T-26T (=KCTC 17232T=CBS 10309T) as the type strain.

Metschnikowia sinensis sp. nov., Metschnikowia zizyphicola sp. nov. and Metschnikowia shanxiensis sp. nov., novel yeast species from jujube fruit
More LessEight yeast strains were isolated from jujube fruit surfaces collected in Shanxi and Shandong Provinces, China. All eight strains produced needle-shaped ascospores under suitable conditions. Three separate groups, representing three novel species in the genus Metschnikowia, were recognized by sequence comparisons of the 26S rDNA D1/D2 domain and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. The names Metschnikowia sinensis sp. nov. (type strain XY103T=AS 2.3110T=CBS 10357T), Metschnikowia zizyphicola sp. nov. (type strain XY201T=AS 2.3111T=CBS 10358T) and Metschnikowia shanxiensis sp. nov. (type strain XY801T=AS 2.3112T=CBS 10359T) are proposed for the three novel species. Phylogenetic analysis of the 26S rDNA D1/D2 domain sequence showed that these three novel species are clustered in a clade together with the previously described species Metschnikowia fructicola, Metschnikowia andauensis, Metschnikowia pulcherrima and Metschnikowia chrysoperlae.

Trichococcus patagoniensis sp. nov., a facultative anaerobe that grows at −5 °C, isolated from penguin guano in Chilean Patagonia
A novel, extremely psychrotolerant, facultative anaerobe, strain PmagG1T, was isolated from guano of Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) collected in Chilean Patagonia. Gram-variable, motile cocci with a diameter of 1.3–2.0 μm were observed singularly or in pairs, short chains and irregular conglomerates. Growth occurred within the pH range 6.0–10.0, with optimum growth at pH 8.5. The temperature range for growth of the novel isolate was from −5 to 35 °C, with optimum growth at 28–30 °C. Strain PmagG1T did not require NaCl, as growth was observed in the presence of 0–6.5 % NaCl with optimum growth at 0.5 % (w/v). Strain PmagG1T was a catalase-negative chemo-organoheterotroph that used sugars and some organic acids as substrates. The metabolic end products were lactate, formate, acetate, ethanol and CO2. Strain PmagG1T was sensitive to ampicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, rifampicin, kanamycin and gentamicin. The G+C content of its genomic DNA was 45.8 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed 100 % similarity of strain PmagG1T with Trichococcus collinsii ATCC BAA-296T, but DNA–DNA hybridization between them demonstrated relatedness values of <45±1 %. Another phylogenetically closely related species, Trichococcus pasteurii, showed 99.85 % similarity by 16S rRNA sequencing and DNA–DNA hybridization showed relatedness values of 47±1.5 %. Based on genotypic and phenotypic characteristics, the novel species Trichococcus patagoniensis sp. nov. is proposed, with strain PmagG1T (=ATCC BAA-756T=JCM 12176T=CIP 108035T) as the type strain.

Gracilibacter thermotolerans gen. nov., sp. nov., an anaerobic, thermotolerant bacterium from a constructed wetland receiving acid sulfate water
An obligatorily anaerobic, thermotolerant, asporogenic bacterium, strain JW/YJL-S1T, was isolated from a sediment sample of a constructed wetland system receiving acid sulfate water (pH 1.6–3.0). Cells of strain JW/YJL-S1T were straight to curved rods 0.2–0.4 μm in diameter and 2.0–7.0 μm in length, and stained Gram-negative. Growth of strain JW/YJL-S1T was observed at 25–54 °C (no growth at or below 20 or at or above 58 °C), with an optimum temperature range for growth of 42.5–46.5 °C. The pH25 °C range for growth was 6.0–8.25 (no growth at or below pH 5.7 or at or above pH 8.5), with optimum growth at pH 6.8–7.75. The salinity range for growth was 0–1.5 % (w/v) NaCl, with an optimum at 0–0.5 %. During growth on glucose the isolate produced acetate, lactate and ethanol as main fermentation end products. The fatty acid composition was dominated by branched-chain compounds: i15 : 0, a15 : 0, i16 : 0 and i17 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 42.8 mol% (HPLC). Strain JW/YJL-S1T showed polymorphism of the 16S rRNA gene. Its closest relative was the thermophilic Clostridium thermosuccinogenes DSM 5807T (a member of Clostridium cluster III) (a blastn search revealed Clostridium pascui DSM 10365T to have 92.7 % gene sequence similarity, the highest value). The inferred phylogenetic trees placed strain JW/YJL-S1T between Clostridium clusters I/II and III. Based on the morphological and phylogenetic data presented, JW/YJL-S1T (=DSM 17427T=ATCC BAA-1219T) is proposed as the type strain of a novel species in a new genus, Gracilibacter thermotolerans gen. nov., sp. nov.

Paenibacillus gansuensis sp. nov., isolated from desert soil of Gansu Province in China
More LessA Gram-positive, endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain B518T, was isolated from a desert-soil sample from Gansu Province in China. The isolate was strictly aerobic and was motile by means of several flagella. The strain grew optimally at 35–40 °C and at pH 7.0–7.5. The predominant fatty acids of strain B518T were anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 50 mol% and the predominant quinone was MK-7. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that strain B518T formed a distinct phyletic line within the genus Paenibacillus and was most closely related to Paenibacillus chitinolyticus IFO 15660T, with a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 95.8 %. The levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with respect to other type strains of Paenibacillus species were below 95.1 %. On the basis of the chemotaxonomic data and molecular properties, strain B518T represents a novel species within the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus gansuensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is B518T (=KCTC 3950T=DSM 16968T).

Lactobacillus siliginis sp. nov., isolated from wheat sourdough in South Korea
More LessThe taxonomic position of two lactic-acid-producing bacterial strains, isolated from wheat sourdough in South Korea, was studied using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences and biochemical and physiological characteristics indicated these two strains to be members of the genus Lactobacillus. They had high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.5 %) with Lactobacillus rossiae DSM 15814T and very low (<94.0 %) similarity with any other recognized species of the genus Lactobacillus. These two strains (designated M1-212T and M2-236) were heterofermentative, facultatively anaerobic, Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile, short rod-shaped bacteria. The optimum growth temperature for these strains was 30 °C (no growth at 15 or 45 °C) and they were able to tolerate 5 % (w/v) NaCl. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of the two strains was 45.5 mol%, within the range of values reported for the genus Lactobacillus (32–53 mol%). The peptidoglycan was of the A3α (l-lys–d-glu–l-Ala) type. Physiological, biochemical and genotypic data, as well as results of DNA–DNA hybridization of the genomic DNA with one of the closest phylogenetic relatives, L. rossiae DSM 15814T, indicated that the strains represent a novel species of the genus Lactobacillus, for which the name Lactobacillus siliginis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is M1-212T (=KCTC 3985T=NBRC 101315T).

New insights into the phylogeny of Entamoeba species provided by analysis of four new small-subunit rRNA genes
Sequences of small-subunit rRNA genes have been obtained for four new isolates of Entamoeba. Phylogenetic analyses give new insights into the evolution of these organisms. A novel Entamoeba from pigs in Vietnam that produces uninucleate cysts proved to be unrelated to other uninucleated cyst-producing species. Revival of the name Entamoeba suis for this organism is proposed. Instead of being related to Entamoeba polecki, it shares a recent common ancestor with the non-encysting Entamoeba gingivalis in a lineage that is basal to the tetranucleate cyst-producing clade. This suggests that species producing cysts with four nuclei are descended from an ancestor that produced cysts with a single nucleus. An Entamoeba from a horse was isolated in culture. No cysts were observed in the original stool sample but the sequence is placed unequivocally within the clade of tetranucleate cyst-producing species with no other sequences being specifically related. Revival of the name Entamoeba equi for this organism is proposed. The Entamoeba ecuadoriensis sequence was found to be the most closely related to Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar, as predicted, despite the organism having been an environmental isolate originally assigned to Entamoeba moshkovskii. Finally, a partial E. polecki gene sequence from a pig proved to be virtually identical to that of Entamoeba struthionis from an ostrich, suggesting that the latter name is a synonym.
