Abstract
A novel mesophilic bacterial strain, designated S502T, was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent at Suiyo Seamount, Japan. Cells were Gram-positive, asporogenous, motile, and curved rods, measuring 1.6-5.6 µm in length. The strain was an obligate anaerobe that grew fermentatively on complex substrates such as yeast extract and Bacto peptone. Elemental sulfur stimulated the growth of the strain, and was reduced to hydrogen sulfide. The strain grew within a temperature range of 10-23 °C (optimum at 20 °C), pH range of 4.8-8.3 (optimum at 7.4), and a NaCl concentration range of 1.0-4.0% (w/v) (optimum at 3.0%, w/v). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the isolate was a member of the class Clostridia, with Fusibacter paucivorans strain SEBR 4211T (91.1% sequence identity) being its closest relative. The total size of the genome of the strain was 3.12 Mbp, and a G + C content was 28.2 mol%. The highest values for average nucleotide identity (ANI), average amino acid identity (AAI), and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) value of strain S502T with relatives were 67.5% (with Marinisporobacter balticus strain 59.4MT), 51.5% (with M. balticus strain 59.4MT), and 40.9% (with Alkaliphilus serpentinus strain LacTT), respectively. Based on a combination of phylogenetic, genomic, and phenotypic characteristics, we propose strain S502T to represent a novel genus and species, Helicovermis profundi gen. nov., sp. nov., with the type strain S502T (= DSM 112048T = JCM 39167T).

Abstract
A novel hyperthermophilic, heterotrophic archaeon, strain YC29T, was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent in the Mid-Okinawa Trough, Japan. Cells of strain YC29T were non-motile, irregular cocci with diameters of 1.2-3.0 µm. The strain was an obligatory fermentative anaerobe capable of growth on complex proteinaceous substrates. Growth was observed between 85 and 100 °C (optimum 90-95 °C), pH 4.9-6.4 (optimum 5.1), and in the presence of 1.4-4.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 3.0%). Inorganic carbon was required as a carbon source. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the isolate was a member of the family Pyrodictiaceae. The genome size was 2.02 Mbp with a G+C content of 49.4%. The maximum values for average nucleotide identity (ANI), average amino acid identity (AAI), and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) value of strain YC29T with relatives were 67.9% (with Pyrodictium abyssi strain AV2T), 61.1% (with Pyrodictium occultum strain PL-19T), and 33.8% (with Pyrolobus fumarii strain 1AT), respectively. Based on the phylogenetic, genomic, and phenotypic characteristics, we propose that strain YC29T represents a novel genus and species, Pyrofollis japonicus gen. nov., sp. (type strain YC29T = DSM 113394T = JCM 39171T).

Abstract
A novel mesophilic, obligately anaerobic, facultatively sulphur-reducing bacterium, designated strain IC12T, was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal field in the Mid-Okinawa Trough, Japan. The cells were Gram-negative, motile, short rods with a single polar flagellum. The ranges and optima of the growth temperature, NaCl concentration and pH of strain IC12T were 15-40 °C (optimum, 30-35 °C), 10-60 g l-1 (optimum, 20-30 g l-1) and pH 4.9-6.7 (optimum, pH 5.8), respectively. Yeast extract was utilized as a sole carbon and energy source for fermentative growth. Major fatty acids of strain IC12T were C14 : 0, C16 : 0 and C16 : 1 ω7. Results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain IC12T was affiliated to the phylum Fusobacteriota and was most closely related to Ilyobacter insuetus VenChi2T (86.5 % sequence similarity). Strain IC12T contained a chromosome of 2.43 Mbp and a large plasmid of 0.30 Mbp. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 26.4 mol%. The maximum values for average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization between strain IC12T and related strains of the phylum Fusobacteriota were 71.4 and 26.4 %, respectively. Phylogenomic, physiological and chemotaxonomic analyses indicate that strain IC12T represents a novel genus and species within the phylum Fusobacteriota, for which the name Haliovirga abyssi gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed, with strain IC12T (= DSM 112164T=JCM 39166T) as the type strain. We also propose the family Haliovirgaceae fam. nov. to accommodate this novel genus.

Abstract
Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) infect diverse eukaryotes and form a group of viruses with capsids encapsulating large genomes. Recent studies are increasingly revealing a spectacular array of functions encoded in their genomes, including genes for energy metabolisms, nutrient uptake, as well as cytoskeleton. Here, we report the discovery of genes homologous to myosins, the major eukaryotic motor proteins previously unrecognized in the virosphere, in environmental genomes of NCLDVs from the surface of the oceans. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that most viral myosins (named "virmyosins") belong to the Imitervirales order, except for one belonging to the Phycodnaviridae family. On the one hand, the phylogenetic positions of virmyosin-encoding Imitervirales are scattered within the Imitervirales. On the other hand, Imitervirales virmyosin genes form a monophyletic group in the phylogeny of diverse myosin sequences. Furthermore, phylogenetic trends for the virmyosin genes and viruses containing them were incongruent. Based on these results, we argue that multiple transfers of myosin homologs have occurred not only from eukaryotes to viruses but also between viruses, supposedly during co-infections of the same host. Like other viruses that use host motor proteins for their intracellular transport or motility, these viruses may use the virally encoded myosins for the intracellular trafficking of giant viral particles.
