Novosphingobium clariflavum sp. nov., isolated from a household product plant
A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, bright-yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated 164T, was isolated from a used sponge for equipment cleaning at a household product plant in China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons indicated that strain 164T was most closely related to Novosphingobium panipatense DSM 22890T (98.28 % similarity) and shared sequence similarities of 97.73–98.27 % with other members of the genus Novosphingobium . In DNA–DNA hybridization studies the relatedness between strain 164T and its closest phylogenetic neighbours was <70 %, which indicated that strain 164T represented a novel species of the genus Novosphingobium . The DNA G+C content of strain 164T was 65.9 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-10 (83.5 %) with minor amounts of Q-9 (16.5 %). The polar lipid profile included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylcholine, unidentified aminolipids and unidentified aminophospholipids. Spermidine was the major polyamine. The major fatty acids were summed feature 8 (consisting of C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c) and C14 : 0 2-OH. The results obtained from phylogenetic analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization, and chemotaxonomic and phenotypic analysis support the conclusion that strain 164T represents a novel species of the genus Novosphingobium , for which the name Novosphingobium clariflavum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 164T (=CICC 11035sT=DSM 103351T).

Rickettsia gravesii sp. nov.: a novel spotted fever group rickettsia in Western Australian Amblyomma triguttatum triguttatum ticks
A rickettsial organism harboured by Amblyomma triguttatum ticks on Barrow Island, Western Australia, was discovered after reports of possible rickettsiosis among local workers. Subsequent isolation of this rickettsia (strain BWI-1) in cell culture and analysis of its phylogenetic, genotypic and phenotypic relationships with type strains of Rickettsia species with standing in nomenclature suggested that it was sufficiently divergent to warrant its classification as a new species. Multiple gene comparison of strain BWI-1 revealed degrees of sequence similarity with Rickettsia raoultii , its closest relative, of 99.58, 98.89, 97.03, 96.93 and 95.73 % for the 16S rRNA, citrate synthase, ompA, ompB and sca4 genes, respectively. Serotyping in mice also demonstrated that strain BWI-1T was distinct from Rickettsia raoultii . Thus, we propose the naming of a new species, Rickettsia gravesii sp. nov., based on its novel genotypic and phenotypic characteristics. Strain BWI-1T was deposited in the ATCC, CSUR and ARRL collections under reference numbers VR-1664, CSUR R172 and RGBWI-1, respectively.

Several strains of sulfate-reducing bacteria were isolated from marine sediments recovered from Hann Bay (Senegal). All were related to members of the genus Desulfovibrio . A strictly anaerobic, mesophilic and moderately halophilic strain designated BLaC1T was further characterized. Cells of strain BLaC1T stained Gram-negative and were 0.5 µm wide and 2–4 µm long, motile, rod-shaped and non-spore-forming. The four major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. Growth was observed from 15 to 45 °C (optimum 40 °C) and at pH 5.5–8 (optimum pH 7.5). The salinity range for growth was 5–65 g NaCl l−1 (optimum 30 g l−1). Yeast extract was required for growth. Strain BLaC1T was able to grow on lactate and acetate in the presence of sulfate as an electron acceptor. Sulfate, thiosulfate and sulfite could serve as terminal electron acceptors, but not fumarate, nitrate or elemental sulfur. The DNA G+C content was 55.8 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis assigned strain BLaC1T to the family Desulfovibrionaceae ; its closest relative was Desulfovibrio oxyclinae DSM 19275T (93.7 % similarity). On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons and physiological characteristics, strain BLaC1T is proposed as representing a novel species of Desulfovibrio , with the name Desulfovibrio senegalensis sp. nov. The type strain is BLaC1T (=DSM 101509T=JCM 31063T).

Dyella caseinilytica sp. nov., Dyella flava sp. nov. and Dyella mobilis sp. nov., isolated from forest soil
More LessThree strains, DHOB09T, DHOC52T and DHON07T, were isolated from the forest soil of Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve, Guangdong Province, PR China. They were all Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped cells. The ranges (optimum) for the temperature, pH and NaCl concentration for growth of DHOB09T, DHOC52T and DHON07T were 10–42 (25–28) °C, pH 5.5–9.0 (7.0–7.5) and 0–4.0 (0–0.5) % (w/v); 10–42 (28) °C, pH 4.0–7.0 (4.5–6.5) and 0–2.0 (0) % (w/v) and 10–37 (25–28) °C, pH 4.0–7.5 (5.5–6.0) and 0–2.5 (0) % (w/v), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that DHOB09T, DHOC52T and DHON07T formed a phyletic cluster with seven species of the genus Dyella within the major clade of Dyella with sequence similarities ranged from 96.9 to 98.6 %. This indicated that the three strains may represent three novel species of the genus Dyella . This result was also strongly supported by the concatenated analysis of partial gyrB, lepA and recA gene sequences. DNA–DNA hybridization between strains DHON07T and DHOB09T, as well as DHON07T and Dyella koreensis BB4T was much lower than 70 %. The G+C content of strains DHOB09T, DHOC52T and DHON07T were 59.4, 60.7 and 59.5 %, respectively. The major fatty acids of the three strains were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 and the predominant respiratory lipoquinone was ubiquinone-8. All of the physiological, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic data showed that strains DHOB09T, DHOC52T and DHON07T are distinctive from each other and from all species of the genus Dyella with validly published names. Therefore, we suggest that they represent three novel species of the genus, for which the names Dyella caseinilytica sp. nov. (type strain DHOB09T=CGMCC 1.15434T=LMG 29202T), Dyella flava sp. nov. (type strain DHOC52T=NBRC 111979T=KCTC 52128T) and Dyella mobilis sp. nov. (type strain DHON07T=CGMCC 1.15400T=NBRC 111475T) are proposed.
