A Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented, motile, flagellated and rod-shaped bacterium, designated as 13AT, was isolated from a river sediment sample of Fuyang River in Hengshui City, Hebei Province, PR China. Strain 13AT grew at 10–37 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 5.0–11.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and at 0–7 % (w/v) NaCl concentration (optimum, 0 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain 13AT belongs to the genus Lysobacter , and was most closely related to Lysobacter spongiicola DSM 21749T (97.8 %), Lysobacter concretionis DSM 16239T (97.5 %), Lysobacter daejeonensis GIM 1.690T (97.3 %) and Lysobacter arseniciresistens CGMCC 1.10752T (96.9 %). Meanwhile, the type species Lysobacter enzymogenes ATCC 29487T was selected as a reference strain (95.2 %). The genomic size of strain 13AT was 3.0 Mb and the DNA G+C content was 69.0 %. The average nucleotide identity values between strain 13AT and each of the reference type strains L. spongiicola DSM 21749T, L. concretionis DSM 16239T, L. daejeonensis GIM 1.690T, L. arseniciresistens CGMCC 1.10752T and L. enzymogenes ATCC 29487T were 75.9, 76.1, 77.7, 78.0 and 73.2 %, respectively. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain 13AT and each of the reference type strains were 21.7, 22.2, 21.9, 22.7 and 23.2 %, respectively. The average amino acid identity values between strain 13AT and each of the reference type strains were 72.5, 72.9, 72.3, 75.0 and 69.2 %, respectively. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and summed feature 9 (iso-C17 : 1 ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl). The sole respiratory quinone was identified as ubiquinone-8. The polar lipid profile contained phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminolipid, an unidentified lipid, four unidentified phospholipids and two unidentified glycolipids. Based on the phenotypic, physiological, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic data, strain 13AT represents a novel species of the genus Lysobacter , for which the name Lysobacter selenitireducens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 13AT (=JCM 34786T=GDMCC 1.2722T).
A yellow, Gram-stain-positive, strictly aerobic, thermotolerant, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated RY-1T, was isolated from a silt sample of Fuyang River, Wuqiang County, Hengshui City, Hebei Province, PR China. Cells showed oxidase- and catalase-positive activities. Growth occurred at 20–45 °C (optimum, 37 °C) and pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0), and in the presence of 0–1.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0%). A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain RY-1T formed a phylogenetic lineage with Flavihumibacter members within the family Chitinophagaceae . A comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain RY-1T was most closely related to Flavihumibacter cheonanensis WS16T (98.6 %), Flavihumibacter sediminis CJ663T (97.7 %) and Flavihumibacter solisilvae 3-3T (97.6 %). The genome size of strain RY-1T was 4.71 Mb, and the DNA G+C content was 44.3 %. The average nucleotide identity, digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average amino acid identity values between strain RY-1T and reference strains were all lower than the threshold values for species delineation. Strain RY-1T contained menaquinone-7 and iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and iso-C15 : 1G as the sole respiratory isoprenoid quinone and major cellular fatty acids (≥5 %), respectively. The major polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified aminolipids and four unidentified lipids. According to the results of phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain RY-1T represents a novel species of the genus Flavihumibacter , for which the name Flavihumibacter fluminis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RY-1T (=GDMCC 1.2775T=JCM 34870T).
A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, aerobic, yellow, convex, rod-shaped mesophilic bacterial strain, designated strain D33T, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of ancient mulberry in Dezhou city, Shandong province, PR China. The strain grew at 8–37 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 4–9 (optimum, pH 7) and growth occurred at 0.5–5.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimally at 1 %). The results of the phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene and whole genome sequences indicated that D33T was closely related to members of the genus Flavobacterium and had the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with ‘Flavobacterium agri’ KACC 19300 (95.4 %), Flavobacterium ichthyis NST-5T (94.6 %), Flavobacterium ahnfeltiae KCTC 32467T (93.6 %) and Flavobacterium longum JCM 19141T (93.6 %). The genome size of D33T was 3.8 Mb and the DNA G+C content was 48.0 mol%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI), digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average amino acid identity (AAI) values among D33T and reference strains were lower than the threshold values for species delineation. The only respiratory quinone of D33T was menaquinone 6 (MK-6). The predominant fatty acids (>5 %) were C15:0, C16 : 0, C18 : 0, iso-C15:0, iso–C17 : 0 3-OH, anteiso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 9 . The polar lipid profile contained phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids, three unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified lipids. Combined data from phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic studies indicated that D33T is a representative of a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium, for which the name Flavobacterium selenitireducens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is D33T (=GDMCC 1.1946T=KACC 22131T).
