Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, rod-shaped, creamy white coloured bacterial strain, DMG-N-6T, was isolated from a water sample of Lake Fertő/Neusiedler See (Hungary). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strain forms a distinct linage within the family
Rhodobacteraceae
. Its closest relatives are
Tabrizicola alkalilacus
DJCT (96.76% similarity) and
Tabrizicola piscis
K13M18T (96.76%), followed by
Tabrizicola sediminis
DRYC-M-16T (96.69 %),
Rhodobacter sediminicola
JA983T (96.62 %),
Tabrizicola aquatica
RCRI19T (96.47 %) and
Cereibacter johrii
JA192T (96.18 %). The novel bacterial strain favours an alkaline environment (pH 8.0-12.0) and grows optimally at 18–28°C in the presence of 2–4 % (w/v) NaCl. Cells of DMG-N-6T were motile by a single subpolar flagellum. Bacteriochlorophyll a was not detected. The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-10. The major cellular fatty acid was C18:1
ω7c. The polar lipid profile comprised phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylcholine, an unidentified phospholipid and five unidentified lipids. The assembled draft genome of strain DMG-N-6T had 52 contigs with a total length of 4 219 778 bp and a G+C content of 64.3 mol%. Overall genome-related indices (ANI <77.8 %, AAI <69.0 %, dDDH <19.6 %) with respect to close relatives were all significantly below the corresponding threshold to demarcate bacterial genus and species. Strain DMG-N-6T (=DSM 108208T=NCAIM B.02645T) is strongly different from its closest relatives and is suggested as the type strain of a novel species of a new genus in the family
Rhodobacteraceae
, for which the name Szabonella alba gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed.

Abstract
A novel bacterium, designated CAU 1574T, was isolated from marine sand. Cells were Gram stain negative, aerobic, gliding and rod shaped. Growth was observed at 20-37 °C (optimum, 30 °C), a pH of 5.5-10.0 (optimum, 8.0), and 0-3.0% (w/v) NaCl concentrations (optimum, 1%). Based on the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, strain CAU 1574T belonged to the genus Echinicola, and showed the highest similarity to Echinicola shivajiensis JCM 17847T (97.5%). Phylogenomic analysis based on consisting of 92 core genes extracted from the genome sequences showed that strain CAU 1574T was affiliated with species in the genus Echinicola. The average nucleotide identity (ANI), average amino acid identity (AAI), and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between strain CAU 1574T and the closely related species were below the cut-off values of 95-96, 90, and 70%, respectively used for species demarcation. The chemotaxonomic data of CAU 1574T were as follows: major isoprenoid quinone, MK-7; predominant polar lipids, phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids and two unidentified lipids; major fatty acids, iso-C15:0, summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c/C16:1 ω7c). The 5.4 Mb genome included 20 contigs and 4237 protein-coding genes with a 39.8 mol% G + C content. Based on the phylogenetic, phenotypic, and physiological result, strain CAU 1574T represents a novel species of this genus Echinicola, for which the name Echinicola arenosa sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CAU 1574T (= KCTC 82410T = MCCC 1K05669T).

Abstract
A novel proteobacterial bacterium, designated strain CAU 1489T, was isolated from Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. Cells were strictly anaerobic, Gram stain-negative, cream-pigmented, non-spore-forming, motile and short rod-shaped. Strain CAU 1489T exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.2%) to Nitratireductor mangrovi SY7T. Multilocus sequence analysis of 16S rRNA and four housekeeping genes (rpoB, rpoC, gyrB and dnaK) indicated that CAU 1489T represents a distinct branch within Nitratireductor. The whole genome was 4.8 Mb with a G + C content of 64.7 mol%, including protein-coding genes related to the function terms amino acids and derivatives, nucleotides and nucleosides, protein metabolism, carbohydrates and cofactors, vitamins, prosthetic groups and pigments. The major fatty acids were 11-methyl C18:1ω7c, cyclo- C19:0ω8c, iso-C17:0 and summed feature 8 (C18:1ω6c and/or C18:1ω7c), and the predominant respiratory quinone was Q-10. The polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified phospholipids. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values were 19.4-22.0% and 72.4-79.1%, respectively. On the basis of taxonomic characterization, strain CAU 1489T constitutes a novel species, for which the name Nitratireductor arenosus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CAU 1489T ( = KCTC 62997T = NBRC 113694T).
