Lacisediminihabitans profunda gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Microbacteriaceae isolated from freshwater sediment

Ruicaihuangia caeni gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel taxon within the family Microbacteriaceae isolated from sludge

A Gram-stain-positive bacterium, designated YN-L-19T, was isolated from a sludge sample collected from a pesticide-manufacturing plant. Cells of YN-L-19T were strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile and ovoid-shaped. Colonies were small, smooth and yellow. Growth occurred at 10-37 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 5.0-9.0 (optimum, 7.0) and 0-3.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0.5 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on genome and 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that YN-L-19T was affiliated to the family Microbacteriaceae and most closely related to Diaminobutyricimonas aenilata, Terrimesophilobacter mesophilus, Planctomonas deserti and Curtobacterium luteum. The major cellular fatty acids of YN-L-19T were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and C16 : 0. The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, glycolipid and one unidentified lipid. The average amino acid identity values between strain YN-L-19T and the related strains were 57.9-61.9 %, which were below the genus boundary (70 %). On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, strain YN-L-19T represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Microbacteriaceae, for which the name Ruicaihuangia caeni gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain YN-L-19T=CCTCC AB 2022401T= KCTC 49935T) is proposed.

Salinarimonas soli sp. nov., isolated from soil

A light pink coloured bacterium, designated strain BN140002T, was isolated from a soil sample collected in Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, Republic of Korea. Cells of strain BN140002T were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile and rod-shaped. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed 94.7, 94.7, 93.9, 93.3, 93.4 and 93.0% similarities to Salinarimonas rosea KCTC 22346T, Salinarimonas ramus DSM 22962T, Saliniramus fredricksonii HL-109T, Microvirga soli R491T, Chelatococcus caeni EBR-4-1T and Chelatococcus composti PC-2T, respectively. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c and/or C18 : 1  ω6c) and summed feature 1 (C12 : 0 aldehyde and/or unknown 10.98) and the predominant ubiquinone was Q-10. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain BN140002T was 70.1 mol%. The genomic orthoANI values between strain BN140002T and Salinarimonas rosea KCTC 22346T and Salinarimonas ramus DSM 22962T were 75.0 and 74.8 %, respectively. Strain BN140002T had a class I-C type CRISPR-Cas system (CRISPR-associated helicase Cas3, CRISPR-associated protein Cas8c, CRISPR-associated protein Cas7, CRISPR-associated RecB family exonuclease Cas4, CRISPR-associated protein 1, 2). Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain BN140002T should be assigned as a novel species of the genus Salinarimonas , for which the name Salinarimonas soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BN140002T (=KCTC 42643T=CCTCC AB 2017173T).

Lacisediminihabitans changchengi sp. nov., an actinobacterium isolated from Antarctic swamplands mud

A Gram-staining-positive, heterotrophic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, short rod-shaped, strain G11-30^T belonging to the genus Lacisediminihabitans was isolated from a swampland mud in Antarctica. The strain was identified using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The strain grew well on R2A agar media and formed no aerial mycelia and no diffusible pigments on any media tested. The chemotaxonomic results showed 2, 4-diaminobutyric acid (DAB) is the diagnostic diamino acid of the peptidoglycan. MK-10 was the predominant respiratory menaquinone. The major phospholipids were phosphatidylglycerol (PG), diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), unidentified lipid (L) and unidentified glycolipid (GL). The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 (64.5%) and iso-C15:0 (18.7%). A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain G11-30^T formed a lineage in the genus Lacisediminihabitans with the closest phylogenetic Lacisediminihabitans profunda CHu50b-6-2^T and Glaciihabitans tibetensis MP203^T (97.9%, 97.5% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). A phylogenomic tree based on genome sequence of G11-30^T, conferred by Type Strain Genome Server (TYGS), separated it from L. profunda CHu50b-6-2^T. Strain G11-30^T has a complete genome size of 2.59 Mb, with a G + C content of 66.2 mol%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) score between strain G11-30^T and reference strains L. profunda CHu50b-6-2^T and G. tibetensis MP203^T were 20.1 and 20.3%, respectively. Concurrently, Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) score between strain G11-30 ^T against. profunda CHu50b-6-2^T and G. tibetensis MP203^T were 76.2 and72.5%, respectively. Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic data, a novel species, Lacisediminihabitans changchengi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is G11-30^T (= CCTCC AA 2019080^T = KCTC49359^T).
