RESUMEN
Two pink-pigmented bacteria, designated strains NEAU-140T and NEAU-KT, were isolated from field soil collected from Linyi, Shandong Province, PR China. Both isolates were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, and facultatively methylotrophic. 16S rRNA gene sequences analysis showed that these two strains belong to the genus Methylobacterium. Strain NEAU-140T exhibited high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to Methylobacterium radiotolerans NBRC 15690T (97.43â%) and Methylobacterium phyllostachyos NBRC 105206T (97.36â%). Strain NEAU-KT exhibited high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to M. phyllostachyos NBRC 105206T (99.00â%) and Methylobacterium longum DSM 23933T (98.72â%). A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain NEAU-140T formed a clade with Methylobacterium aerolatum (95.94â%), Methylobacterium persicinum (95.66â%) and Methylobacterium komagatae (96.87â%), and strain NEAU-KT formed a cluster with M. phyllostachyos and M. longum. The predominant fatty acid in both strains was C18â:â1 ω7c. Both strains contained ubiquinone Q-10 as the only respiratory quinone. The polar lipid profiles of both strains contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylcholine. Whole-genome phylogeny showed that strains NEAU-140T and NEAU-KT formed a phyletic line with M. aerolatum, M. persicinum, Methylobacterium radiotolerans, Methylobacterium fujisawaense, Methylobacterium oryzae, Methylobacterium tardum, M. longum and M. phyllostachyos. The orthologous average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between strain NEAU-140T and its closely related strains were lower than 82.62 and 25.90ââ%, respectively. The ANI and dDDH values between strain NEAU-KT and its closely related strains were lower than 86.29 and 31.7â%, respectively. The genomic DNA G+C contents were 71.63âmol% for strain NEAU-140T and 69.08âmol% for strain NEAU-KT. On the basis of their phenotypic and phylogenetic distinctiveness and the results of dDDH and ANI hybridization, these two isolates represent two novel species within the genus Methylobacterium, for which the names Methylobacterium amylolyticum sp. nov. (type strain NEAU-140T=MCCC 1K08801T=DSM 110568T) and Methylobacterium ligniniphilum sp. nov. (type strain NEAU-KT=MCCC 1K08800T=DSM 110567T) are proposed.

A novel actinobacterial strain (NEAU-HV9T) showing antibacterial activity against Ralstonia solanacearum and herbicidal activity against Amaranthus retroflexus L. was isolated from soil sampled in Bama yao Autonomous County, Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The strain is aerobic and Gram-positive. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain NEAU-HV9T belonged to the genus Streptomyces and showed high 16S rRNA sequence similarity to Streptomyces panaciradicis 1MR-8T (98.90â%), Streptomyces sasae JR-39T (98.89â%) and Streptomyces barringtoniae JA03T (98.69â%) and less than 98.5â% similarity to other members of the genus Streptomyces. The cell wall of strain NEAU-HV9T contained ll-diaminopimelic acid and the whole-cell hydrolysates were galactose, mannose and ribose. The predominant menaquinones were composed of MK-9(H2) and MK-9(H8). The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. The major fatty acids were C16â:â0, iso-C16â:â0 and C17â:â1 ω8c. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain NEAU-HV9T was 70.6âmol%. Furthermore, the strain could be clearly distinguished from its closely related type strains by the combination of DNA-DNA hybridization results and some phenotypic characteristics. Meanwhile, strain NEAU-HV9T displayed herbicidal activity. Therefore, strain NEAU-HV9T represents a novel species within the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces herbicida sp. nov. is proposed, with strain NEAU-HV9T (=CCTCC AA 2019088T=DSM 113364T) as the type strain.

Streptomyces is an effective source of new natural bioherbicides. In this study, a novel isolated strain NEAU-HV44 showed strong inhibitory activity against Amaranthus retroflexus L. and was concluded to the genus Streptomyces. Strain NEAU-HV44 fermentation conditions were optimized to maximize the herbicidal activity. The supernatant of strain NEAU-HV44 could significantly control the growth of weeds (A. retroflexus L., Setaria viridis, Portulaca oleracea L., and Chenopodium album) and crops (maize, soybean, wheat, Chinese cabbage, cucumber, tomato, and romaine lettuce) with dose-dependent in preemergence. Notably, weeds were more sensitive to a low-concentration supernatant extract than crops in preemergence. In postemergence, the 2 mg mL-1 supernatant extract could significantly reduce the height and >50% biomass (fresh weight) of tested weeds. The supernatant extract could cause cell membrane destabilization and the cell death of weeds. In addition, the growth of tomato was also inhibited at a high concentration, but no obvious symptoms were observed on soybean and romaine lettuce after spraying the supernatant extract. Then two novel julichrome monomers, julichromes Q12 (1) and Q13 (2), and two known julichromes, julichrome Q3.3 (3) and julichrome Q3.5 (4), were isolated from the supernatant extract of strain NEAU-HV44 by bioactivity-guided approach. This is the first report of the herbicidal activity of julichromes. These four herbicidal compounds could inhibit the shoot and root growth of weeds at 0.2 mg mL-1, and compound 4 could completely inhibit the growth of P. oleracea L. Thus, julichromes (Q12, Q13, Q3.3, Q3.5 1-4) may be new bioherbicidal candidates.
