Trinickia mobilis sp. nov. and Trinickia acidisoli sp. nov., isolated from soil
More LessTwo novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated DHG64T and 4D114T, were isolated from forest soil of Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve, Guangdong Province, PR China. DHG64T grew at 12–37 °C (optimum 33 °C), pH 4.5–10.0 (optimum 6.5–7.5) and in the presence of 0–2.0 % NaCl (w/v); while 4D114T grew at 12–37 °C (optimum 20–33 °C), pH 4.0–7.0 (optimum 4.5–6.0) and in the presence of 0–1.0 % NaCl (w/v). DHG64T and 4D114T showed 97.1–98.0 and 97.5–98.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with seven species of the genus Trinickia with validly published names, respectively. In the phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences, both strains formed a clade with the members of genus Trinickia but well separated from each other. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridisation values for the novel strains to all species of the genus Trinickia with validly published names were in the ranges of 80.6–85.0 and 22.4–28.0 %, respectively. DHG64T contained C16 : 0, C17 : 0 cyclo and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c, while 4D114T had C16 : 0, C17 : 0 cyclo, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and summed feature 2 (iso-C16 : 1 I and/or C14 : 0 3-OH) as the major cellular fatty acids. The major polar lipids for strains DHG64T and 4D114T were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The DNA G+C contents of DHG64T and 4D114T were 63.0 and 62.8 mol%, respectively. Genomic analyses indicated that DHG64T and 4D114T may have potential for various applications, such as developing drugs against certain health problems and restoring environments polluted with metal ions and/or benzoate. On the basis of the results of morphological, physiological, biochemical and phylogenetic analyses, strains DHG64T and 4D114T were classified as representing two novel species of the genus Trinickia , for which the names Trinickia mobilis sp. nov. (type strain DHG64T = KACC 21223T = GDMCC 1.1282T) and Trinickia acidisoli sp. nov. (type strain 4D114T = KCTC 82876T = GDMCC 1.2131T) are proposed.

Pseudomonas solani sp. nov. isolated from the rhizosphere of eggplant in Japan
More LessThe search for bacteria that can be used as biocontrol agents to control crop diseases yielded a promising candidate, Sm006T, which was isolated from the rhizosphere of eggplant (Solanum melongena) growing in a field in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, in 2006. The cells were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped and motile with one polar flagellum. The results of homology searches and phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that Sm006T represents a member of the genus Pseudomonas . The genomic DNA G+C content was 66.3 mol% and the major cellular fatty acids (more than 5 % of the total fatty acids) were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), C16 : 0 and C12 : 0. Phylogenetic analyses using the rpoD gene sequence and phylogenomic analysis of the whole genome sequence revealed that Sm006T represents a member of the Pseudomonas resinovorans group; however, its phylogenetic position does not match that of any known species of the genus Pseudomonas . The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridisation values between the strain and closely related species were lower than the thresholds for prokaryotic species delineation (95–96 and 70 %, respectively), with the highest values observed for Pseudomonas tohonis TUM18999T (92.05 and 46.3 %, respectively). Phenotypic characteristics, cellular fatty acid composition and possession of 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol biosynthetic gene cluster could be used to differentiate the strain from its closest relatives. The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic data obtained during this study indicated that Sm006T represents a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas , for which we propose the name Pseudomonas solani sp. nov., with Sm006T (= MAFF 212523T = ICMP 24689T) as the type strain.

Leisingera thetidis sp. nov., isolated from coastal water
More LessA Gram-strain-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, catalase-positive, oxidase-positive and pinkish beige colony-forming bacterial strain designated as BMJM1T was isolated from a marine sample collected from coastal water near Tongyeong, Republic of Korea. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that BMJM1T represents a member of the genus Leisingera as it is closely related to Leisingera daeponensis KCTC 12794T (98.27%), Leisingera caerulea DSM 24564T (97.98%), Leisingera aquaemixtae KCTC 32538T (97.91%), Leisingera methylohalidivorans DSM 14336T (97.26%) and Leisingera aquimarina DSM 24565T (97.25%). Optimal growth occurred at 25–30°C, pH 7.0 and with 2% NaCl. Digital DNA–DNA hybridisation (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strain BMJM1T and the closely related species of the genus Leisingera were below 40 and 90%, respectively, which are far below the thresholds to delineate a novel species. The predominant fatty acids (>10%) are summed feature 8 (C18:1ω7c and/or C18:1ω6c) (68.4%) and C14:1iso E (11.6%). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and phospholipid. The major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-10. The DNA G+C content was 64.0%. On the basis of the results of the polyphasic taxonomic characterisation, BMJM1T represents a novel species of the genus Leisingera , for which the name is Leisingera thetidis sp. nov. is proposed, with that type strain BMJM1T (= KCTC 92110T = GDMCC 1.2992T).

Grimontia kaedaensis sp. nov., isolated from the estuary of Kaeda river in Miyazaki, Japan
More LessStrain 020920NT was isolated from the estuary of the Kaeda river in the Miyazaki prefecture in Japan. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene showed the strain’s close evolutionary relationship with bacteria from the genus Grimontia , in the family Vibrionaceae . Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features of the strain were investigated. Whole genome sequencing revealed that the strain 020920NT genome consists of two chromosomes and a plasmid, for a total of 5.52 Mbp. Calculations of whole genome average nucleotide identity and phylogenetic analysis based on the whole genome sequence showed that the strain represents a new species in the genus Grimontia , for which we propose the name Grimontia kaedaensis sp. nov. with the type strain 020920NT (=LMG 32507T=JCM 34978T).

Mannheimia cairinae sp. nov., a novel species of Mannheimia obtained from Muscovy ducks (Cairina moschata) and reclassification of Mannheimia ovis as heterotypic synonym of Mannheimia pernigra
More LessDuring a screening study for Pasteurella multocida in two unrelated flocks of Muscovy ducks pharyngeal and cloacal swabs were collected. A total of 59 Pasteurellaceae -like isolates sharing the same colony morphology were subcultured and subsequently characterized. Colonies on bovine blood agar were nonhaemolytic, regular, circular, slightly raised, shiny, intransparent with an entire margin, greyish and had an unguent-like consistency. Isolate AT1T was characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and showed the highest similarity of 96.1 % to the type strain of Mannheimia caviae and 96.0 % to the type strain of Mannheimia bovis , respectively. In addition, rpoB and recN gene sequences also showed the highest similarity to the genus Mannheimia . The phylogenetic comparison of concatenated conserved protein sequences also showed a unique position of AT1T compared to other species of Mannheimia . Full phenotypic characterization of the isolates showed that between two ( Mannheimia ruminalis ) and 10 ( Mannheimia glucosida ) phenotypic characteristics separate the taxon isolated from Muscovy ducks from the accepted species of Mannheimia . Whole genomic sequences of two strains analysed by the type strain genome server showed the highest similarity of 24.9 % to the genome of the type strain of Pasteurella multocida and 23.0 % to the genome of the type strain of Mannheimia haemolytica . The species Mannheimia cairinae sp. nov. is proposed based on the phenotypic and genotypic similarity to Mannheimia as well as differences to the other validly published species of the genus. The leukotoxin protein was not predicted in the genome of AT1T. The G+C content of the type strain of M. cairinae sp. nov., AT1T (=CCUG 76754T=DSM 115341T) is 37.99 mol%, calculated from the whole genome. The investigation further proposes that Mannheimia ovis is reclassified as a later heterotypic synonym of Mannheimia pernigra , since M. ovis and M. pernigra are closely genetically related, and M. pernigra was validly published before M. ovis .

Vibrio syngnathi sp. nov., a fish pathogen, isolated from the Kiel Fjord
A new Vibrio strain, K08M4T, was isolated from the broad-nosed pipefish Syngnathus typhle in the Kiel Fjord. Infection experiments revealed that K08M4T was highly virulent for juvenile pipefish. Cells of strain K08M4T were Gram-stain-negative, curved rod-shaped and motile by means of a single polar flagellum. The strain grew aerobically at 9–40° C, at pH 4–10.5 and it tolerated up to 12 % (w/v) NaCl. The most prevalent (>10 %) cellular fatty acids of K08M4T were C16 : 1 ω7c and C16 : 0. Whole-genome comparisons revealed that K08M4T represents a separate evolutionary lineage that is distinct from other Vibrio species and falls within the Splendidus clade. The genome is 4,886,292 bp in size, consists of two circular chromosomes (3,298,328 and 1, 587,964 bp) and comprises 4,178 protein-coding genes and 175 RNA genes. In this study, we describe the phenotypic features of the new isolate and present the annotation and analysis of its complete genome sequence. Based on these data, the new isolate represents a new species for which we propose the name Vibrio syngnathi sp. nov. The type strain is K08M4T (=DSM 109818T=CECT 30086T).

Gimibacter soli gen. nov. sp. nov., isolated from mangrove soil and insight into its ecological distribution and metabolic potential
Yang Liu, Tao Pei, Jiao Duan, Juan Du and Honghui ZhuA Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile and rod-shaped bacterium, designated as 6D33T, was isolated from mangrove soil. Growth was found to occur at 15–32 °C (optimum, 28 °C), at pH 6–9 (optimum, pH 7) and in 0–3 % NaCl (optimum, 1 %, w/v). The results of 16S rRNA gene-based analysis showed that strain 6D33T belonged to the family Temperatibacteraceae , sharing 93.1–94.4 % identity with its close neighbours within the genus Kordiimonas . The phylogenomic results indicated that strain 6D33T formed an independent branch distinct from type strains of the genus Kordiimonas . The overall genome relatedness indices of digital DNA–DNA hybridization, average nucleotide identity and amino acid identity values showed that strain 6D33T represents a novel species of a novel genus. The results of chemotaxonomic characterization indicated that the major cellular fatty acids of strain 6D33T were summed feature 9 (C16 : 0 10-methyl and/or iso-C17 : 1 ω9c), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω6c and/or C16 : 1 ω7c) and iso-C15 : 0; the polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified aminolipid and three unidentified lipids; the only respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. The genomic size and DNA G+C contents were 3.59 Mbp and 60.84 mol%, respectively. The 16S rRNA gene sequence reads abundance profiles revealed that the rare taxon is prevalent in marine environments, especially in sediments. Genome-scale metabolic reconstruction of strain 6D33T revealed a heterotrophic lifestyle and many pathways responsible for the degradation of aromatic compounds, suggesting application potential in aromatic hydrocarbon removal. Based on its genotypic and phenotypic characteristics, strain 6D33T is concluded to represent a novel species of the novel genus in the family Temperatibacteraceae , for which the name Gimibacter soli gen. nov. sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is 6D33T (=GDMCC 1.1959T=KCTC 82335T).
