Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2024 Apr;74(4). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.006339.ABSTRACTA novel Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented, short rod-shaped bacterial strain, HBC34T, was isolated from a freshwater sample collected from Daechung Reservoir, Republic of Korea. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that HBC34T was affiliated with the genus Sphingobium and shared the highest sequence similarity to the type strains of Sphingobium vermicomposti (98.01 %), Sphingobium psychrophilum (97.87 %) and Sphingobium rhizovicinum (97.59 %). The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridisation (dDDH) ...

Arcicella gelida sp. nov. and Arcicella lustrica sp. nov., isolated from streams in China and re-examining the taxonomic status of all the genera within the families Spirosomataceae and Cytophagaceae 
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2024 Apr;74(4). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.006345.ABSTRACTThree Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile strains (DC2WT, DC25WT, and LKC2W) were isolated from streams in China. Comparisons based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that these three strains share 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values over 97.0 % with the species of genus Arcicella. There was confusion due to the fact that all species of genera Flectobacillus, Aquirufa, and Sandaracinomonas show 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of over 90.0 % to the above three strains, but the genus Flectobacillus belongs to the family ...

Cells of strain A6E488T were rod-shaped with widths of 0.3-0.4 µm and lengths of 1.1-1.8 µm. The optimal growth conditions were determined to be in 1 % (w/v) NaCl, at 37 °C, and at pH 7.0. The predominant fatty acids (≥10 %) were C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (59.7 %) and summed feature 8 (13.8 %, C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c). The sole isoprenoid quino...

Genome-based reclassification of Salipiger manganoxidans (Rajasabapathy et al . 2016) Wirth et al . 2018 as a later heterotypic synonym of Salipiger marinus (Lai et al . 2011) Wirth et al . 2018
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2024 Apr;74(4). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.006329.ABSTRACTSalipiger manganoxidans VSW210T was compared with Salipiger marinus CK-I3-6T to examine the taxonomic relationship between the two type strains. In phylogenetic trees drawn using whole genome sequences and 16S rRNA gene sequences, S. manganoxidans VSW210T and S. marinus CK-I3-6T clade together and showed a 99.6 % 16S rRNA sequence similarity. The average amino acid identity (AAI), average nucleotide identity (ANIb and ANIm) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between S. manganoxidans VSW210T and S. marinus CK-I3-6T were below 97.5, 9...

Refining the taxonomy of the order Hyphomicrobiales ( Rhizobiales ) based on whole genome comparisons of over 130 type strains
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2024 Apr;74(4). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.006328.ABSTRACTThe alphaproteobacterial order Hyphomicrobiales consists of 38 families comprising at least 152 validly published genera as of January 2024. The order Hyphomicrobiales was first described in 1957 and underwent important revisions in 2020. However, we show that several inconsistencies in the taxonomy of this order remain and we argue that there is a need for a consistent framework for defining families within the order. We propose a common genome-based framework for defining families within the order Hyphomicrobiales, suggesting that families rep...
