Abstract
Introduction Symbiotic microbial have a significant impact on the growth and metabolism of medicinal plants. Schisandra chinensis is a very functionally rich medicinal herb; however, its microbial composition and diversity have been poorly studied. Methods In the present study, the core microbiomes associated with the rhizospheric soil, roots, stems, leaves, and fruits of S. chinensis from six geographic locations were analyzed by a macro-genomics approach. Results Alpha and beta diversity analyses showed that the diversity of microbial composition of S. chinensis fruits did not differ significantly among the geographic locations as compared to that in different plant compartments. Principal coordinate analysis showed that the microbial communities of S. chinensis fruits from the different ecological locations were both similar and independent. In all S. chinensis samples, Proteobacteria was the most dominant bacterial phylum, and Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were the most dominant fungal phyla. Nitrospira, Bradyrhizobium, Sphingomonas, and Pseudomonas were the marker bacterial populations in rhizospheric soils, roots, stems and leaves, and fruits, respectively, and Penicillium, Golubevia, and Cladosporium were the marker fungal populations in the rhizospheric soil and roots, stems and leaves, and fruits, respectively. Functional analyses showed a high abundance of the microbiota mainly in biosynthesis. Discussion The present study determined the fungal structure of the symbiotic microbiome of S. chinensis, which is crucial for improving the yield and quality of S. chinensis.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, halotolerant bacterium designated as PTR5T was isolated from the roots of rice plants, collected in Ilsan, South Korea. Cells were, aerobic, asporogenous, motile, rod-shaped, white in color, and grew at 5-38 °C (optimum 30 °C), at pH 5.0-0-8.0 (optimum, 7.0) and tolerates up to 10% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0% NaCl). According to the EZbioCloud server the most closely related Devosia species to strain PTR5T based on 16 S rRNA gene sequence comparison are Devosia crocina (97.4%), followed by D. soli (97.2%), D. lucknowensis (96.9%) and D. marina (96.5%). The respiratory quinone was identified as Q-10. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. C16:0, C18:1 ω7c 11-methyl and summed feature 8 (comprising C18:1 ω7c/C18:1 ω6c) constituted the main cellular fatty acids. The draft genome sequence of strain PTR5T was 3,689,283 bp in size. The average nucleotide identity (ANI), digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and amino acid identity (AAI) values between strain PTR5T and its close relative were 72.8-76.8%, 19-20.7% and 70.3-75%, respectively. The G + C content was 63.7%. Strain PTR5T was able to produce siderophore and indole acetic acid (IAA) in the presence of L-tryptophan. Genes for siderophore production, auxin responsive and tryptophan biosynthesis were present in the genome of novel strain. Also, gene clusters involved in detoxification of various metal pollutants and antibiotics were also revealed in the genome of novel strain PTR5T, this suggest that novel strain can facilitate bioremediation of heavy metals and antibiotics in contaminated areas. This study aimed to determine the detailed taxonomic position of the strain PTR5T using the modern polyphasic approach. On the basis of evidence presented in this study, strain PTR5T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Devosia, for which the name Devosia oryzisoli sp. nov. (type strain PTR5T (KCTC 82691T = TBRC 15163T) is proposed.

Abstract
Three chitinolytic, Gram-negative, light pink, capsule-forming, rod-shaped bacterial strains with gliding motion (MYSH2T, MJ1aT and dk17T) were isolated from seashells, soil and foxtail, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences and concatenated alignment of 92 core genes indicated that strains MYSH2T, MJ1aT and dk17T were novel species of the genus
Mucilaginibacter
and exhibited a high 16S rRNA sequence similarity (i.e. more than 97.2 %) among each other. These novel strains contained summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6), iso-C15:0 and MK-7 as the predominant fatty acids and menaquinone. According to the CAZys coding gene of KAAS, MYSH2T and MJ1aT were interpreted as strains containing both GH18 and 19 family coding genes, except for dk17T, which shows only GH19 family genes. These strains likely degrade chitin to chitobiose or directly to N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, which may enhance their chitinolytic capacity, thus making these stains potentially useful for industrial chitin degradation. Based on distinct morphological, physiological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic differences from their closest phylogenetic neighbours, we propose that strains MYSH2T, MJ1aT and dk17T represent three novel species in the genus
Mucilaginibacter
, for which the names Mucilaginibacter conchicola sp. nov. (=KACC 19716T=JCM 32787T), Mucilaginibacter achroorhodeus sp. nov. (=KACC 19906T=NBRC 113667T) and Mucilaginibacter pallidiroseus sp. nov. (=KACC 19907T=NBRC 113666T) are proposed. An emended description of the genus
Mucilaginibacter
is proposed.

Abstract
Two novel Gram-negative, aerobic, asporogenous, motile, rod-shaped, orange and white pigmented, designated as LEGU1T and G19T, were isolated from the roots of rice plants, collected from Goyang, South Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on their 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that they belonged to the genus Devosia and formed a different lineage and clusters with different members of the genus Devosia. These strains shared common chemotaxonomic features. In particular, they had Q-10 as the sole quinone, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol as the principal polar lipids and C16:0, C18:1ω7c 11-methyl and summed feature 8 (comprising C18:1ω7c/C18:1ω6c) as the main fatty acids. The draft genome sequences of strains LEGU1T and G19T were 3,524,978 and 3,495,520 bp in size, respectively. Their average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values were 72.8-81.9% and 18.7-25.1%, respectively, with each other and type strains of related species belonging to the genus Devosia, suggesting that these two strains represent novel species. The G + C content of strains LEGU1T and G19T were 62.1 and 63.8%, respectively. Of the two strains, only LEGU1T produced carotenoid and flexirubin-type pigment. Both strains produced siderophore and indole acetic acid (IAA) in the presence of L-tryptophan. Siderophore biosynthesis genes, auxin responsive genes and tryptophan biosynthesis genes were present in their genomes. The present study aimed to determine the detailed taxonomic positions of the strains using the modern polyphasic approach. Based on the results of polyphasic analysis, these strains are suggested to be two novel bacterial species within the genus Devosia. The proposed names are D. rhizoryzae sp. nov., and Devosia oryziradicis sp. nov., respectively. The plant growth promoting effects of these strains suggest that they can be exploited to improve rice crop productivity. The type strain of D. rhizoryzae is LEGU1T (KCTC 82712T = NBRC 114485T) and D. oryziradicis is G19T (KCTC 82688T = NBRC 114842T).

Abstract
The pink-pigmented facultative methylotrophs (PPFMs), a major bacterial group found in the plant phyllosphere, comprise two genera: Methylobacterium and Methylorubrum. They have been separated into three major clades: A, B (Methylorubrum), and C. Within these genera, however, some species lack either pigmentation or methylotrophy, which raises the question of what actually defines the PPFMs. The present study employed a comprehensive comparative genomics approach to reveal the phylogenetic relationship among the PPFMs and to explain the genotypic differences that confer their different phenotypes. We newly sequenced the genomes of 29 relevant-type strains to complete a dataset for almost all validly published species in the genera. Through comparative analysis, we revealed that methylotrophy, nitrate utilization, and anoxygenic photosynthesis are hallmarks differentiating the PPFMs from the other Methylobacteriaceae. The Methylobacterium species in clade A, including the type species Methylobacterium organophilum, were phylogenetically classified into six subclades, each possessing relatively high genomic homology and shared phenotypic characteristics. One of these subclades is phylogenetically close to Methylorubrum species; this finding led us to reunite the two genera into a single genus Methylobacterium. Clade C, meanwhile, is composed of phylogenetically distinct species that share relatively higher percent G+C content and larger genome sizes, including larger numbers of secondary metabolite clusters. Most species of clade C and some of clade A have the glutathione-dependent pathway for formaldehyde oxidation in addition to the H4MPT pathway. Some species cannot utilize methanol due to their lack of MxaF-type methanol dehydrogenase (MDH), but most harbor an XoxF-type MDH that enables growth on methanol in the presence of lanthanum. The genomes of PPFMs encode between two and seven (average 3.7) genes for pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases, and their phylogeny is distinctly correlated with their genomic phylogeny. All PPFMs were capable of synthesizing auxin and did not induce any immune response in rice cells. Other phenotypes including sugar utilization, antibiotic resistance, and antifungal activity correlated with their phylogenetic relationship. This study provides the first inclusive genotypic insight into the phylogeny and phenotypes of PPFMs.

Abstract
Culture-dependent techniques only permit the study of a low percentage of the microbiota diversity in the environment. The introduction of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies shed light into this hidden microbial world, providing a better knowledge on the general microbiota and, specifically, on the microbial populations of clams. Tissue-associated microbiota of Ruditapes decussatus and Ruditapes philippinarum (mantle, gills, gonad and hepatopancreas) was analysed in two different locations of Galicia (northwest of Spain) during Spring (April) and Autumn (October), employing a metataxonomic approach. High bacterial diversity and richness were found in all samples where a total of 22,044 OTUs were obtained. In most samples, phylum Proteobacteria was most frequently retrieved, although other phyla as Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Tenericutes, Firmicutes or Chlamydiae also appeared at high relative abundances in the samples. At genus level, great variation was found across tissues and sampling periods. A Nonmetric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS) and a hierarchical clustering analysis allowed to further analyse the factors responsible for the differences among groups of samples in the different sites. Results showed sample ordination based on tissue origin and sampling periods, pointing out that the microbiota was influenced by these factors. Indeed, predominance of certain genera was observed, such as Endozoicomonas or Methylobacterium in gills and gonads, respectively, suggesting that selection of specific bacterial taxa is likely to occur. So far, this study provided a general picture of the tissue associated microbial population structure in R. decussatus and R. philippinarum clams, which, ultimately, allowed the identification of specific tissue-related taxa.

Abstract
An aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, dull-yellow, short rod-shaped actinomycete strain, designated G10T, was isolated from Tagetes patula (marigold) roots collected from Goyang in the Republic of Korea. The isolate showed best growth on Reasoner's 2A agar at 25 °C, pH 6.5.0 and with 0% NaCl (w/v). The strain was negative for oxidase activity and positive for catalase activity. On the basis of 16S RNA gene sequence similarity, strain G10T was affiliated to the genus Nocardioides and the closest species were Nocardioides glacieisoli HLT3-15T (98.8 %), Nocardioides zhouii HLT2-9T (98.8 %), Nocardioides ganghwensis JC2055T (98.7 %), Nocardioides cavernae YIM A1136T (98.6 %), Nocardioides flavus Y4T (98.5 %), Nocardioides oleivorans DSM 16090T (98.3 %), Nocardioides alpinus Cr7-14T (98.2 %), Nocardioides exalbidus DSM 22017T (98.1 %) and Nocardioides hwasunensis KCTC 19197T (98.1 %). Strain G10T formed a monophyletic cluster with N. glacieisoli HLT3-15T, N. zhouii HLT2-9T and N. hwasunensis KCTC 19197T in all phylogenetic trees. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strain G10T contained ll-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic amino acid. The predominant fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0 and C17 : 1 ω8c. MK-8(H4) was the major isoprenoid quinone. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values were 78.6-88.7 % and 21.5-36.2 %, respectively, with the type strains of related species of the genus Nocardioides, suggesting that strain G10T represents a novel species. The genome of strain G10T is 4 231 000 bp long with a DNA G+C content of 71.5 mol% and encodes 4071 predicted proteins, six rRNAs and 46 tRNAs. The genome of strain G10T comprises the biosynthetic gene cluster for T3PKS, terpene, NRPS-like fragment and RRE-containing element as secondary metabolites. The results of taxonomic, phylogenetic, biochemical, chemotaxonomic and genomic analysis clearly supported that strain G10T represent a novel species within the genus Nocardioides, for which the name Nocardioides baculatus sp. nov is proposed and the type strain is G10T (=KCTC 49626T=NBRC 114801T).

Abstract
A novel Gram-stain negative, asporogenous, slimy, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium ROOL2T was isolated from the root samples collected from a rice field located in Ilsan, South Korea. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA sequence showed 96.5% similarity to Tianweitania sediminis Z8T followed by species of genera Mesorhizobium (96.4-95.6%), Aquabacterium (95.9-95.7%), Rhizobium (95.8%) and Ochrobactrum (95.6%). Strain ROOL2T grew optimally at 30 °C in the presence of 1-6% (w/v) NaCl and at pH 7.5. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10 and the major cellular fatty acids were C18:1ω7c, summed feature 4 (comprising iso-C17:1 I and/or anteiso-C17:1 B) and summed feature 8 (comprising C18:1ω6c and/or C18:1ω7c). The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified aminolipid and two unidentified lipids. The assembled draft genome of strain ROOL2T had 28 contigs with N50 value of 656,326 nt, total length of 4,894,583 bp and a DNA G + C content of 61.5%. The average amino acid identity (AAI) values of strain ROOL2T against the genomes of related members belonging to the same family were below 68% and the ANI and dDDH values between the strain ROOL2T and the type strains of phylogenetically related species were 61.8-76.3% and 19.4-21.1%, respectively. Strain ROOL2T only produces carotenoid-type pigment when grown on LB agar and slime on R2A agar. In the presence of tryptophan, strain ROOL2T produced indole acetic acid (IAA), a phytohormone in plant growth and development. Gene clusters for indole-3-glycerol phosphatase and tryptophan synthase were found in the genome of strain ROOL2T. The genotypic and phenotypic characteristics indicated that strain ROOL2T represents a novel genus belonging the family Phyllobacteriaceae, for which the name Oryzicola mucosus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ROOL2T (KCTC 82711 T = NBRC 114717 T).

An ovoid to rod shaped, white to brown pigmented, facultative anaerobic, mesophilic, non-phototrophic, Gram-staining-negative, non-motile, multiply by binary fission designated strain KVB23T, which was isolated from root of rice plant, near Ilsan, South Korea, was investigated for its taxonomic position by polyphasic approach. Optimal growth was found to occur at 30˚C, at pH 6.5 and in the absence of NaCl on R2A. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain KVB23T revealed that it formed a distinct lineage, as a separate deep branch within the family Rhodobacteriaceae, with < 96.5% sequence similarity to representatives of the genera Rhodobacter, Xinfangfangia, Tabrizicola, Falsirhodobacter, Haematobacter, Paenirhodobacter, Pseudorhodobacter and Pararhodobacter. Based in 16S rRNA sequences strain KVB23T was most closely related to Tabrizicola fusiformis KCTC 62105 T (96.5%) and Rhodobacter thermarum KCTC 52712 T (96.2%). The draft genome of strain KVB23T was 3.80 bp long with a DNA G + C content of 63.1%. Genome of strain KVB23T harboured gene clusters for tryptophan and cobalamin biosynthesis. The strain contained Q-10 as the sole respiratory quinone. The predominant fatty acids were found to consist of C16:0, C18:0 and summed feature 8 (comprising C18:1 ω7c and / or C18:1 ω6). The polar lipids were identified as diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, seven unidentified phosphoglycolipids, two unidentified aminophosphoglycolipid, one unidentified glycolipid and four unidentified lipids. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria have the ability to dissolve insoluble phosphates and enhance the soil fertility. Strain KVB23T can solubilize calcium phosphate tribasic. Phosphate solubilizing and tryptophan biosynthesis property of strain KVB23T could be a possible factor for the increase in growth of rice plant. Differential phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic distinctiveness, demonstrated that strain KVB23T was found to represent a novel genus in the Rhodobacteriaceae family, for which the name Fuscibacter oryzae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain KVB23T(= KACC 21711 T = NBRC 114716 T).

Abstract
A Gram-positive, aerobic, flagellated, endospore-forming, rod-shaped strain, designated as G13T, was isolated from soil. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis led to the conclusion that strain G13T was phylogenetically related to Cohnella boryungensis BR29T (97.5 %) and Cohnella phaseoli CECT 7287T (96.9 %) with digital DNA-DNA hybridization values of 21.0 and 21.4 %, and distantly related to Cohnella thermotolerans CCUG 47242T (94.8 %), type species of the genus Cohnella, at 19.0 %. The genome size of strain G13T was 5 387 258 bp, with 51.3 mol% G+C content. The predominant fatty acids were summed feature 9 (iso-C17 : 1 ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl), anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The predominant quinone was menaquinone-7 and the major polar lipids were diphosphatidyglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, lysylphosphatidylglycerol, three aminophospholipids, two phosphoglycolipids, three aminolipids and two unidentified lipids. Based on the data from phenotypic tests and the genotypic differences between strain G13T and its close phylogenetic relatives, strain G13T represents a new species belonging to the genus Cohnella, for which the name Cohnella terricola sp. nov. (=KACC 19905T=NBRC 113748T) is proposed.

Abstract
Endophytes are highly associated with plant growth and health. Exploring the variation of bacterial communities in different plant niches is essential for understanding microbe-plant interactions. In this study, high-throughput gene sequencing was used to analyze the composition and abundance of bacteria from the rhizospheric soil and different parts of the Macleaya cordata. The results indicated that the bacterial community structure varied widely among compartments. Bacterial diversity was observed to be the highest in the rhizospheric soil and the lowest in fruits. Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes were found as the dominant phyla. The genera Sphingomonas (∼47.77%) and Methylobacterium (∼45.25%) dominated in fruits and leaves, respectively. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed to measure the alkaloid content of different plant parts. Significant correlations were observed between endophytic bacteria and alkaloids. Especially, Sphingomonas showed a significant positive correlation with sanguinarine and chelerythrine. All four alkaloids were negatively correlated with the microbiota of stems. The predicted result of PICRUST2 revealed that the synthesis of plant alkaloids might lead to a higher abundance of endophytic microorganisms with genes related to alkaloid synthesis, further demonstrated the correlation between bacterial communities and alkaloids. This study provided the first insight into the bacterial community composition in different parts of Macleaya cordata and the correlation between the endophytic bacteria and alkaloids.

Abstract
Four strains belonging to the family of Methylobacteriaceae were isolated from different locations on the International Space Station (ISS) across two consecutive flights. Of these, three were identified as Gram-negative, rod-shaped, catalase-positive, oxidase-positive, motile bacteria, designated as IF7SW-B2T, IIF1SW-B5, and IIF4SW-B5, whereas the fourth was identified as Methylorubrum rhodesianum. The sequence similarity of these three ISS strains, designated as IF7SW-B2T, IIF1SW-B5, and IIF4SW-B5, was <99.4% for 16S rRNA genes and <97.3% for gyrB gene, with the closest being Methylobacterium indicum SE2.11T. Furthermore, the multi-locus sequence analysis placed these three ISS strains in the same clade of M. indicum. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of these three ISS strains were <93% and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values were <46.4% with any described Methylobacterium species. Based on the ANI and dDDH analyses, these three ISS strains were considered as novel species belonging to the genus Methylobacterium. The three ISS strains showed 100% ANI similarity and dDDH values with each other, indicating that these three ISS strains, isolated during various flights and from different locations, belong to the same species. These three ISS strains were found to grow optimally at temperatures from 25 to 30°C, pH 6.0 to 8.0, and NaCl 0 to 1%. Phenotypically, these three ISS strains resemble M. aquaticum and M. terrae since they assimilate similar sugars as sole carbon substrate when compared to other Methylobacterium species. Fatty acid analysis showed that the major fatty acid produced by the ISS strains are C18:1−ω7c and C18:1−ω6c. The predominant quinone was ubiquinone 10, and the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and an unidentified lipid. Therefore, based on genomic, phylogenetic, biochemical, and fatty acid analyses, strains IF7SW-B2T, IIF1SW-B5, and IIF4SW-B5, are assigned to a novel species within the genus Methylobacterium, and the name Methylobacterium ajmalii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IF7SW-B2T (NRRL B-65601T and LMG 32165T).

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, asporogenous, motile by gliding, dull-yellow, long rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated SNL9T, was isolated from a flooded paddy field near Dongguk University, Republic of Korea. The results of phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that SNL9T represents a member of the genus Flavobacterium and is most closely related to Flavobacterium ummariense DS-12T (96.2%) and Flavobacterium viscosum YIM 102796T (96.3%). The average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) values with F. ummariense DS-12T and F. viscosum YIM 102796T were 89.3/39.1 and 87.1/33 %, respectively. The major fatty acids of SNL9T were identified as iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c) and summed feature 9 (comprising iso-C17 : 1ω9c and/or 10 methyl C16 : 0). SNL9T contained MK-6 as the major respiratory quinone. The polar lipids were phoshatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminophosphoglycolipid, three unidentified aminoglycolipids, two unidentified glycolipids and one unidentified phosphoglycolipid. The DNA G+C content was 34.2 mol%. SNL9T produces carotenoid and flexirubin-type pigments. Among them, carotenoids are particularly valuable for the biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries due to their antioxidant activity. Aryl polyenes (APE) pigments were also found in SNL9T which are responsible for yellow pigment in bacteria. They are stored in the bacterial membrane and protect the bacteria from oxidative stress, particularly from reactive oxygen species. In this paper, we describe a novel isolate, SNL9T, which protect itself from the attack of free radicals using specific natural products in the membrane. Because of their anti-oxidation properties, aryl polyenes may also be of interest to the cosmetic industry. On the basis of the results of phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses, SNL9T represents a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium, for which the name Flavobacterium baculatum sp. nov. is proposed. The type is SNL9T (=KACC 21170T=NBRC 113746T).

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, carotenoid-pigmented, motile-by-gliding bacterium, which was designated as SSH13T, was isolated from a surface seawater sample collected from Sehwa Beach in the Republic of Korea. Strain SSH13T was oxidase-negative, catalase-positive and grew at 2–37 °C (optimum, 30 °C), in the presence of 0.5–6% NaCl and within a pH range of pH 6–10 (optimum, pH 8). The novel isolate required NaCl for growth and grew optimally with approximately 2 % NaCl. Chemotaxonomic and morphological characteristics were consistent with members of the genus
Lewinella
. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that strain SSH13T was most closely related to the type strains of the genus
Lewinella
. Strain SSH13T had highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to
Lewinella persica
DSM 23188T (95.3 %) and
Lewinella agarilytica
KCTC 12774T (95.0 %). The major fatty acids of SSH13T were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1
ω7c and/or C16 : 1
ω6c) and iso-C15 : 0. Strain SSH13T contained phosphatidylethanolamine as a major polar lipid. Menaquinone-7 was the predominant respiratory quinone. The average nucleotide identity values between strain SSH13T and
L. persica
T-3T and
L. agarilytica
SST-19T were 72.9 and 72.6 %, respectively. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA was 52.8 mol%. The present study aimed to determine the multiple-antibiotic resistance of the novel bacterium. Based on phylogenetic and phenotypic analyses, strain SSH13T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus
Lewinella
, for which the name Lewinella aurantiaca sp. nov. (type strain SSH13T=KACC 21167T=NBRC 113866T) is proposed.
