Proposal of Thalassovita gen. nov. and Alloyangia gen. nov. as replacement names for the illegitimate prokaryotic generic names Thalassobius and Yangia, respectively
More LessThe prokaryotic generic names Thalassobius Arahal et al. 2005 and Yangia Dai et al. 2006 are illegitimate because they are later homonyms of the genus names Thalassobius Solier 1849 (Coleoptera) and Yangia Zheng 1997 (fossil Rodentia), respectively Principle two and Rule 51b(4) of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes]. We therefore propose the replacement generic names Thalassovita and Alloyangia, with type species Thalassovita gelatinovora and Alloyangia pacifica, respectively.

Alkalimarinus alittae sp. nov., isolated from gut of marine sandworm (Alitta virens) and emended description of the genus Alkalimarinus
A novel, Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile, catalase- and oxidase-negative bacterial strain, designated A2M4T, was isolated from the gut contents of a marine sandworm Alitta virens, collected from the eastern coast of the Republic of Korea. Strain A2M4T formed translucent circular colonies and showed rod-shaped cells with peritrichous flagella. Optimal growth of strain A2M4T occurred at 25 °C, pH 7.0 and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain A2M4T was closely related to Alkalimarinus sediminis FA028T, with the highest sequence similarity of 98.9 %. The complete genome sequence of strain A2M4T was 4.25 Mbp in size and the genomic G+C content, calculated from the genome sequence, was 43.2 mol%. A comparison between the genome sequence of strain A2M4T and that of its closest relative, A. sediminis FA028T, showed an average nucleotide identity value of 76.63 % and a digital DNA–DNA hybridization value of 22.2 %. Strain A2M4T contained Q-9 as the sole respiratory isoprenoid quinone and the major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The major cellular fatty acids of strain A2M4T were C14 : 0, C16 : 0 and summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c). Based on its phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genomic characteristics, strain A2M4T represents a novel species of the genus Alkalimarinus , for which the name Alkalimarinus alittae sp. nov. is proposed. The type is strain A2M4T (=KCTC 92030T=JCM 35924T). The description of the genus Alkalimarinus has also been emended.

Alteromonas gilva sp. nov. and Erythrobacter fulvus sp. nov., isolated from a tidal mudflat
More LessStrains chi3T and sf7T were collected from a tidal mudflat around Dongmak beach in Ganghwa, Republic of Korea. Both strains were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic or facultatively anaerobic, and rod-shaped. Results of phylogenetic tree analysis based on 16S rRNA and whole-genome sequences suggested that strains chi3T and sf7T belong to the genera Alteromonas and Erythrobacter , respectively. The cells of strain chi3T were non-motile and grew at 15–45 °C (optimum, 38 °C), at pH 6.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 8.0) and in the presence of 0–9.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2.0 %). The cells of strain sf7T were motile as they had flagella and grew at 20–48 °C (optimum, 38 °C), at pH 6.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 9.0) and in the presence of 0–5.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1.0 %). Strains chi3T and sf7T have average nucleotide identity values (70.0–70.4% and 78.9–81.7 %) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values (21.8–22.3% and 21.0–25.6 %) with reference strains in the genera Alteromonas and Erythrobacter , respectively. Data from digital DNA–DNA hybridization, as well as phylogenetic, biochemical and physiological analyses, indicated the distinction of the two strains from the genera Alteromonas and Erythrobacter , respectively, and we thus propose the names Alteromonas gilva sp. nov. (type strain chi3T=KACC 22866T=TBRC 16612T) and Erythrobacter fulvus sp. nov. (type strain sf7T=KACC 22865T=TBRC 16611T).

More LessCoral reef ecosystems are facing decline due to climate change, overfishing, habitat destruction and pollution. Bacteria play an essential role in maintaining the stability of coral reef ecosystems, influencing the well-being and fitness of coral hosts. The exploitation of coral probiotics has become an urgent issue. A short-rod shaped aerobic bacterium, designated NTR19T, was isolated in a healthy coral Turbinaria peltata from Daya Bay, Shenzhen, PR China. Its cells were Gram-negative, motile with a polar flagellum. The activities of catalase and oxidase were positive. Strain NTR19T grew at 10–41 °C (optimum, 28 °C), with NaCl concentrations of 0–4 % (w/v; optimum, 0.5 %) and at pH 5.0–9.5 (optimum, pH 7.0–7.5). The predominant fatty acids (>10 %) were summed feature 8 (57.6 %), C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (12.6 %) and C16 : 0 (12.0 %). The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phospholipid and phosphatidylcholine. The major respiratory quinone was Q-10. The draft genome was 4.68 Mbp with 61.2 mol% DNA G+C content. In total, 4477 coding sequences were annotated and there were 64 RNA genes. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and average amino acid identity (AAI) values between strain NTR19T and the related Neorhizobium species were 78.23–79.70% and 80.26–80.50 %, respectively. This strain encoded many proteins for the activities of catalase and oxidase in the genome. Strain NTR19T was clearly distinct from its closest neighbours Rhizobium oryzicola ACCC 05753T and Neorhizobium petrolearium ACCC 11238T with the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 96.86 and 96.36 %, respectively.

Penicillium rhizophilum, a novel species in the section Exilicaulis isolated from the rhizosphere of sugarcane in Southwest Iran
More LessDuring a survey of species diversity of Penicillium and Talaromyces in sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) rhizosphere in the Khuzestan province of Iran [ 1 ], 195 strains were examined, from which 187 belonged to Penicillium (11 species) and eight to Talaromyces (one species). In the present study, three strains of Penicillium belonging to section Exilicaulis series Restricta, identified as P. restrictum by Ansari et al. [ 1 ], were subjected to a phylogenetic study. The multilocus phylogeny of partial β-tubulin, calmodulin and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit genes enabled the recognition of one new phylogenetic species that is here formally described as Penicillium rhizophilum sp. nov. This species is phylogenetically distinct in series Restricta, but it does not show significant morphological differences from other species previously classified in the series. Therefore, we here placed bias on the phylogenetic species concept. The holotype of Penicillium rhizophilum sp. nov. is IRAN 18169F and the ex-type culture is LA30T (=IRAN 4042CT=CBS 149737T).

Teunomyces gombertii f.a., sp. nov., Teunomyces landelliae f.a., sp. nov., Teunomyces ledahaglerae f.a., sp. nov. and Teunomyces paulamoraisiae f.a., sp. nov., four yeast species isolated from mushrooms and drosophilids in a Brazilian Amazonian rainforest biome
Ten yeast isolates representing four candidate novel species of the genus Teunomyces were obtained from different species of mushrooms and drosophilids collected in an Amazonian Forest biome in Brazil. Sequence analyses of the ITS 5.8S region and the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit rRNA gene showed that four isolates were phylogenetically related to Teunomyces stri, two isolates related to Teunomyces atbi, two isolates related to Teunomyces aglyptinius, and another two isolates related to Teunomyces aglyptinius, Teunomyces barrocoloradensis, Teunomyces gatunensis and Teunomyces stri. The four novel species differ by 3 % or more of sequence divergence in D1/D2 domains from their closest relatives. These species were isolated from basidiocarps of the mushrooms Marasmiellus volvatus, Tricholomopsis aurea, Hydropus sp. and Favolus tenuiculus, or drosophilids feeding on these substrates. The names Teunomyces gombertii f.a., sp. nov. (holotype CBS 16168T; Mycobank MB849065), Teunomyces landelliae f.a., sp. nov. (holotype =CBS 16169T; Mycobank MB 849066), Teunomyces ledahaglerae f.a., sp. nov. (holotype CBS 16170T; Mycobank MB 849067) and Teunomyces paulamoraisiae f.a., sp. nov. (holotype CBS 16120T; Mycobank MB 849068) are proposed for these species.

Proposal of Allomuricauda gen. nov. and Allofranklinella gen. nov. as replacement names for the illegitimate prokaryotic generic names Muricauda and Franklinella, respectively
More LessThe prokaryotic generic names Muricauda Bruns et al. 2001 and Franklinella Bernard et al. 2022 are illegitimate because they are later homonyms of the genus names Muricauda Small 1903 (synonym of Arisaema; Tracheophyta – Liliopsida – Araceae) and Franklinella Stewart and Hendrix 1945 (a Devonian ostracod genus) and Franklinella Lenz 1973 (a Devonian brachiopod genus), respectively (Principle 2 and Rule 51b(4) of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes). We therefore propose the replacement generic names Allomuricauda and Allofranklinella, with type species Allomuricauda ruestringensis and Allofrankinella schreckenbergeri, respectively.

Valid publication of four additional phylum names
More LessThe International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP) now includes the phylum category. For the purpose of the valid publication of their names under the ICNP, we consider here four phyla. Slightly modified descriptions of ‘ Abditibacteriota ’ Tahon et al. 2018 and ‘ Desulfobacterota ’ Waite et al. 2020 are provided to meet the requirements of the ICNP for phylum names. Methanobacteriota is proposed as a substitute for ‘ Euryarchaeota ’ Garrity and Holt 2021, while Nanobdellota is proposed to replace ‘ Nanoarchaeota ’ Huber et al. 2002, based on the genus Nanobdella Kato et al. 2022.
