RESUMEN
Two novel yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped and non-motile coryneform actinobacteria, strains VKM Ac-2596T and VKM Ac-2761, were isolated from a plant Tanacetum vulgare (Asteraceae) infested by foliar nematode Aphelenchoides sp. The strains exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to Rathayibacter agropyri CA4T (99.71%), Rathayibacter rathayi DSM 7485T (99.65%) and Rathayibacter iranicus VKM Ac-1602T (99.65%). The pairwise average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between VKM Ac-2596T and VKM Ac-2671 towards the type strains of Rathayibacter species did not exceed 85.24% and 29.40%, respectively, that are well below the thresholds for species delineation. The target strains had key chemotaxonomic properties typical of the genus Rathayibacter, namely, the DAB-based peptidoglycan, rhamnose and mannose as the predominant sugars and a rhamnomannan in the cell, the major menaquinone MK-10 and fatty acids of iso-anteiso type, with a large proportion of anteiso-15:0. The strains showed clear differences from the recognized Rathayibacter species in several phenotypic characteristics, including the difference in the composition of cell wall glycopolymers. Based on the results obtained in this study and the data published previously, we provide a description of a new species, Rathayibacter tanaceti sp. nov., with DL-642T (= VKM Ac-2596T = LMG 33114T) as the type strain.

The genome sizes ranged from 4.19 to 4.99 Mb, with G+C contents of 73.5% to 74.6%, and contained genes for microbial rhodopsins. This study will contribute to our knowledge of the ecology and diversity of members of the family Geodermatophilaceae.

RESUMEN
MOTIVATION: A small amount of research is focused on investigation of rhodopsins in cultivated bacteria isolated from non-aquatic environments. Furthermore, the abundance of these proteins in strains from hot and arid habitats was not reported previously. Since there is an insignificant amount of such isolates, the enigmatic role of the rhodopsins in dry ecological niches is still poorly understood. The members of the family Geodermatophilaceae could be used as interesting objects to search for new rhodopsin genes that will provide novel insights into versatility and importance of these proteins in non-aquatic conditions. RESULTS: This is the first report of the abundance of different rhodopsins in cultivated bacteria isolated from hot and arid ecological niches. A total of 31 rhodopsin genes were identified in 51 analyzed genomes of strains belonging to the family Geodermatophilaceae. Overall, 88% of the strains harbouring rhodopsins are isolated from non-aquatic environments. It was found that 82% of strains belonging to the genus Geodermatophilus have at least one gene as compared to 38% of strains of other genera which contain rhodopsins. Analysis of key amino acids revealed two types of the studied proteins: DTE type (putative proton pump) and NDQ type (putative sodium pump). Proton pumps were divided into two subtypes (DTEW and DTEF) according to phylogenetic analysis and the presence of highly conserved tryptophan or phenylalanine at position 182. Among all studied rhodopsins DTEF subtype is the most unique one, identified only in this family. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Draft genome sequences of 11 bacteria belonging to the family Microbacteriaceae were obtained using Illumina technology. The genomes of these strains have sizes from 3.14 to 4.30 Mb with their genomic DNA characterized as having high G+C contents (above 65%).

RESUMEN
A rod-shaped, non-endospore-forming and non-motile bacterium, strain DL-329T, was isolated from the above-ground part of a plant, Androsace koso-poljanskii Ovcz. (Primulaceae), at the the State Natural Reserve 'Belogorie', Russia. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, the strain clustered with members of the genus Rathayibacter, showing the highest sequence similarity to Rathayibacter tritici (98.89â%), Rathayibacter rathayi (98.82â%) and Rathayibacter festucae (98.82â%). The DNA hybridization experiments demonstrated that strain DL-329T represents a separate genomic species. The results of comparative studies of physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, including cell-wall sugar patterns, polar lipid profiles, and the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectra of bacterial cells, allowed clear differentiation of VKM Ac-2121T from the recognized Rathayibacter species at the phenotypic level. Based on the data obtained, a new species, Rathayibacter oskolensis sp. nov., is proposed, with DL-329T (=VKM Ac-2121T=LMG 22542T) as the type strain.

The cell walls of two strains of the genus Promicromonospora (phylum Actinobacteria) were found to include non-phosphorylated anionic glycopolymers with pyruvic acid acetals of R-configuration. The cell wall of the type strain P. citrea 665T contains two glycopolymers of the sort, including the Kdn-teichulosonic acid with the repeating unit â6)-α-d-Glâ¿p/â6)-α-d-Glâ¿p3SO3--(1 â 4)-α-[7,9Pyr]-Kdn-(2â, and the galactan with the repeating unit â3)-α-[4,6Pyr]-d-Galp-2OAc-(1 â . The cell wall of Promicromonospora sp.VKM Ac-1028 contains the teichuronic acid with the repeating unit â6)-α-d-Glâ¿p-(1 â 4)-ß-[2,3Pyr]-d-GlcpA-(1 â . The detected glycopolymer structures are reported for the first time. Presented results expand the notion on the diversity of the organic world and on the role of the structures and composition of cell wall polymers in bacterial taxonomy. The glycopolymer structures were established by using a combination of chemical methods, NMR- and IR-spectroscopy, and ESI MS.
