RESUMEN
A Gram-stain-positive aerobic, rod-shaped, spore-producing bacterium forming colonies with convex elevation and a smooth, intact margin was isolated from a freshwater sample collected from a well situated in an agricultural field. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolated strain BA0131T showed the highest sequence similarity to Lysinibacillus yapensis ylb-03T (99.25%) followed by Ureibacillus chungkukjangi 2RL3-2T (98.91%) and U. sinduriensis BLB-1T (98.65%). The strain BA0131T was oxidase and catalase positive and urease negative. It also tested positive for esculin hydrolysis and reduction of potassium nitrate, unlike its phylogenetically closest relatives. The predominant fatty acids in strain BA0131T included were anteiso-C15:0, iso-C16:0, iso-C15:0, iso-C14:0 and the major polar lipids comprised were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The respiratory quinones identified in strain BA0131T were MK8 (H2) (major) and MK8 (minor). The strain BA0131T shared the lowest dDDH values with L. yapensis ylb-03T (21%) followed by U. chungkukjangi 2RL3-2T (24.2%) and U. sinduriensis BLB-1T (26.4%) suggesting a closer genetic relationship U. sinduriensis BLB-1T. The ANI percentage supported the close relatedness with U. sinduriensis BLB-1T (83.61%) followed by U. chungkukjangi 2RL3-2T (82.03%) and U. yapensis ylb-03T (79.57%). The core genome-based phylogeny constructed using over 13,704 amino acid positions and 92 core genes revealed the distinct phylogenetic position of strain BA0131T among the genus Ureibacillus. The distinct physiological, biochemical characteristics and genotypic relatedness data indicate the strain BA0131T represents a novel species of the genus Ureibacillus for which the name Ureibacillus aquaedulcis sp. nov. (Type strain, BA0131T = MCC 5284 = JCM 36475) is proposed. Additionally, based on extensive genomic and phylogenetic analyses, we propose reclassification of two species, L. yapensis and L. antri, as U. yapensis comb. nov. (Type strain, ylb-03T = JCM 32871T = MCCC 1A12698T) and U. antri (Type strain, SYSU K30002T = CGMCC 1.13504T = KCTC 33955T).

A cellulase producing novel bacterial strain VR-M41T was isolated from an open-air vegetable and fruit market. Cells are found to be rod-shaped, endospore forming, positive for Gram's stain and negative for catalase, oxidase and urease. Strain VR-M41T was halotolerant (upto 8.0% NaCl, w/v), motile and facultative anaerobe. It grew at wide range of pH (6.0-10.0) and temperatures (20-40 °C). Strain VR-M41T produced three isozymes of Carboxymethylcellulase. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain VR-M41T was 97.3% similar to both Saccharibacillus kuerlensis DSM 22868T and Saccharibacillus sacchari DSM 19268T, and less than 96.4% with the rest of the valid species of the genus Saccharibacillus. Whole-genome ANI, dDDH and genome phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that strain VR-M41T significantly differed from Saccharibacillus kuerlensis DSM 22868T and Saccharibacillus sacchari DSM 19268T (ANI 79.6-79.7% and dDDH 23.1%). The strain comprised of MK-7 and anteiso-C 15:0 (42.2%) as predominant isoprenoid quinone and fatty acid respectively. Major polar lipids were found to be diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The draft genome of strain VR-M41T consisted of 5,386,426 base pairs with 5103 annotated genes, out of which 2147 corresponded to hypothetical proteins and 2956 with functional assignments. Pan-genome analysis revealed the presence of 2998 core genes, 828 accessory genes, and 1131 unique genes of Saccharibacillus. Strain VR-M41T produced antimicrobials against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Micrococcus luteus and Shigella flexneri. Significant phenotypic and genotypic differentiating characteristics from closely related species, indicated that strain VR-M41T is a novel species of the genus Saccharibacillus, for which the name Saccharibacillus alkalitolerans sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is VR-M41T (= KCTC 43183T=NBRC 114337T).

Two Gram-stain positive, endospore forming, non-motile, rod shaped bacterial strains SN6T and SN6b were isolated from scats of a mildly venomous vine snake (Ahaetulla nasuta). Strains were phenotypically resistant to multiple antibiotics of four different classes i.e. aminoglycosides, ß-lactams, fluoroquinolones and sulphonamides. Cells of both the strains were catalase positive and oxidase negative. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of these two strains showed closest similarity (99.2% and 99.3%) with Savagea faecisuis Con12T, the only species of the genus Savagea and ≤ 94.9% with the species of other closest genera of the family Planococcaceae. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (99%), DNA-DNA relatedness (95%) and similar phenotypic characteristics between the strains SN6T and SN6b revealed their phylogenetic affiliation to the same species. Hence, strain SN6b is an additional strain of the type strain SN6T. DNA-DNA relatedness of strain SN6T with S. faecisuis Con12T was 32.8%. Predominant fatty acids were iso-C15:0 (32.0%), iso-C16:1 ω11c (19.2%) and iso-C17:1 ω10c (12.1%). MK-6 (100%) was the only respiratory quinone of strain SN6T. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine were the major polar lipids. Cell wall peptidoglycan was A4α; L-Lys-Gly-D-Glu type. The DNA G + C content (mol%) of SN6T was 40.8. Whole genome sequence of SN6T consisted of 26,37,389 base pairs in length with 2667 annotated genes, out of which 1021 corresponds to hypothetical proteins and 1646 with functional assignments including antibiotic resistance, multidrug resistance efflux pumps, invasion and virulence factors. Comparative polyphasic study of the strains SN6T, SN6b and S. faecisuis Con12T elucidated the differentiating characteristics which led to describing strain SN6T and SN6b as a novel species of the genus Savagea for which the name Savagea serpentis sp. nov is proposed. The type strain of Savagea serpentis is SN6T (= KCTC 33546T = CCUG 6786T).

A curved-rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from a marine (100 m depth) water sample collected from Bay of Bengal, Visakhapatnam, India. Strain NIO-S14T, was Gram-stain-negative, motile and pale-yellow. NIO-S14T was able to grow aerobically and anaerobically and could utilize a number of organic substrates. Major fatty acids were C12â:â0, iso-C13â:â0, C14â:â0, iso-C15â:â0, C16â:â0 and C16â:â1ω7c and/or C16â:â1ω6c (summed feature 3). NIO-S14T contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified aminophospholipids and six unidentified lipids as polar lipids. The DNA G+C content of NIO-S14T was 47.9 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons indicated that the isolate represented a member of the family Shewanellaceae within the class Gammaproteobacteria. According to the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, NIO-S14T was closely related to Shewanella coralliiwith a pair-wise sequence similarity of 99.26â%. On the basis of the sequence comparison, NIO-S14T clustered with Shewanella coralliiand together they clustered with Shewanella mangroviand seven other species of the genus Shewanella but were distantly related. DNA-DNA hybridization between NIO-S14T and Shewanella corallii DSM 21332Trevealed a relatedness of 35â%. Distinct morphological, physiological and genotypic differences from these previously described taxa supported the classification of NIO-S14T as a representative of a novel species of the genus Shewanella, for which the name Shewanellasubmarina sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Shewanellasubmarina is NIO-S14T (=MTCC 12524T=KCTC 52277T=LMG 30752T).

A Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, strain PRD07T, was isolated from Godavari river, India during the world's largest spiritual and religious mass bathing event 'Kumbh Mela'. Molecular analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis reveals the distinct phylogenetic positioning of strain PRD07T within the genus Corynebacterium. The strain demonstrated highest sequence similarity to Corynebacterium imitans DSM 44264T (97.9â%), Corynebacterium appendicis DSM 44531T (97.1â%) and <96.7â% with all other members of the genus Corynebacterium. The G+C content of PRD07T was 68.5 mol% (Tm) and the DNA-DNA hybridization depicts 61.09â% genomic relatedness with C. imitans DSM 44264T. Chemotaxonomic assessment of strain PRD07T suggested presence of C16â:â0 (31.6â%), C18â:â0 (3.5â%) and C18â:â1ω9c (58.6â%) as the major cellular fatty acids. The major polar lipids of strain PRD07T were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and glycophospholipid. Differentiating molecular, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain PRD07T with its closest relatives necessitated the description of strain PRD07T as a novel species of genus Corynebacterium for which the name Corynebacteriumgodavarianum sp. nov., has been proposed. The type strain is PRD07T (=MCC 3388T=KCTC 39803T=LMG 29598T).

A strictly aerobic, haloalkali-tolerant, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain SMB4T, was isolated from a water sample collected from Sambhar salt lake, Rajasthan, India. Growth occurred at 25-50 °C, 4-12â% (w/v) NaCl and pH of 5-9. Strain SMB4T was positive for ß-galactosidase, oxidase, catalase and urease activities. The fatty acids were dominated by branched forms of fatty acids with iso- and anteiso-saturated fatty acids, with a high abundance of anteiso-C15â:â0, anteiso-C17â:â0 and C18â:â0. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strain SMB4T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, while the polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified phospholipid and three unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain SMB4T was 49.1 mol%. A blast sequence similarity search based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that Salibacterium halochares, Salibacterium halotolerans and Salibacterium qingdaonense were the nearest phylogenetic neighbours, with a pair-wise sequence similarities of 98.4, 98.2 and 97.0â% respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that strain SMB4T was clustered with S. halochares and together clustered with S. halotolerans and S. qingdaonense. DNA-DNA hybridization of strain SMB4T with S. halochares DSM 21373T, S. halotolerans S7T and S. quigdaonense DSM 21621T showed a relatedness values of only 39.8, 26.3 and 42.8â%, respectively. Based on its phenotypic characteristics and on phylogenetic inference, strain SMB4T represents a novel species of the genus Salibacterium, for which the name Salibacterium nitratireducens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SMB4T (=MTCC 12633T=KCTC 33876T=JCM 32187T).

A Gram-stain-negative, yellowish-orange pigmented, rod-shaped, motile bacterium, designated strain ARC111T, was isolated from sediment of Arctic permafrost at Midtre Lovénbreen glacier, Svalbard. 16S rRNA gene based identification of strain ARC111T demonstrated highest sequence similarities to Subsaxibacter broadyi P7T (97.8â%) and Subsaxibacter arcticus JCM30334T (97.5â%) and ≤95.2â% with all other members of the family Flavobacteriaceae. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the distinct positioning of strain ARC111T within the genus Subsaxibacter. The G+C content of ARC111T was 37.8±0.5 mol% while DNA-DNA hybridization depicted 35.6â% relatedness with S. arcticus JCM30334T. Strain ARC111T had C15â:â0iso, C16â:â0iso 3-OH, C15â:â1iso G, C15â:â0anteiso, C16â:â1iso H and C17â:â0iso 3-OH as major (>5â% of the total) cellular fatty acids and MK-6 was the predominant respiratory quinone. The polar lipid profile of strain ARC111T consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, aminolipid and an unidentified lipid. Strain ARC111T harboured sym-homospermidine as the major polyamine. Characteristic differences obtained using polyphasic analysis of strain ARC111T and its closest relatives suggested that strain ARC111T is a novel species of genus Subsaxibacter, for which the name Subsaxibacter sediminis sp. nov. has been proposed. The type strain is ARC111T (=MCC 3191T=KCTC 42965T=LMG 29783T=GDMCC 1.1201T).

The taxonomic positions of Microterricola viridarii JCM 15926T, Phycicola gilvus DSM 18319T and Leifsonia pindariensis JCM 15132T were re-examined. Phylogenetic analysis and 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities revealed that all three strains are closely related with each other and form a monophyletic cluster with high sequence similarity (99.2â-99.9â%). A dendrogram constructed based on the protein spectra generated by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy also displayed close clustering of these three strains. The fatty acid profiles of three strains were very similar to each other and contained branched fatty acids (anteiso-C15â:â0, anteiso-C17â:â0 and iso-C16â:â0) as the predominant cellular fatty acids. The polar lipid profiles of the three stains were similar and consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine as major polar lipids and an unknown lipid. Comparisons of morphological, chemotaxonomic and physiological data of Microterricola viridarii JCM 15926T, Leifsonia pindariensis JCM 15132T and Phycicola gilvus DSM 18319T are in agreement with the features of a common genus. DNA-DNA hybridization data generated during this study showed less than 70â% reassociation value with each other indicating that they are different at species level. Based on the present study, we conclude that Phycicola gilvus DSM 18319T and Leifsonia pindariensis JCM 15132T should be reclassified under the genus Microterricola, since this genus has the nomenclatural priority, and reclassified as Microterricolagilva comb. nov. (type strain SSWW-21T=DSM 18319T=KCTC 19185T=JCM 30550T) and Microterricolapindariensis comb. nov. (type strain PON10T=LMG 24222T=JCM 15132T=MTCC9128T). An emended description of the genus Microterricola is also presented.

A yellow Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, non-endospore -forming, spherical endophytic actinobacterium, designated strain AE-6(T), was isolated from the inner fleshy leaf tissues of Aloe barbadensis (Aloe vera) collected from Pune, Maharashtra, India. Strain AE-6(T) grew at high salt concentrations [10% (w/v) NaCl], temperatures of 15-41 °C and a pH range of 5-12. It showed highest (99.7%) 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Micrococcus yunnanensis YIM 65004(T) followed by Micrococcus luteus NCTC 2665(T) (99.6%) and Micrococcus endophyticus YIM 56238(T) (99.0%). Ribosomal protein profiling by MALDI-TOF/MS also showed it was most closely related to M. yunnanensis YIM 65004(T) and M. luteus NCTC 2665(T). Like other members of the genus Micrococcus, strain AE-6(T) had a high content of branched chain fatty acids (iso-C15:0 and anteiso-C15:0). MK-8(H2) and MK-8 were the predominant isoprenoid quinones. Cell wall analysis showed an 'A2 L-Lys-peptide subunit' type of peptidoglycan and ribose to be the major cell wall sugar. The DNA G+C content was 70 mol%. Results of DNA-DNA hybridization of AE-6(T) with its closest relatives from the genus Micrococcus produced a value of less than 70%. Based on the results of this study, strain AE-6(T) could be clearly differentiated from other members of the genus Micrococcus. We propose that it represents a novel species of the genus Micrococcus and suggest the name Micrococcus aloeverae sp. nov., with strain AE-6(T) ( = MCC 2184(T) = DSM 27472(T)) as the type strain of the species.

A novel Gram-stain-positive, spore-forming, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium designated strain SD111(T) that forms red-pigmented colonies was isolated from a marine sediment sample (collected from 5 m depth) from Lakshadweep, India. Strain SD111(T) grew well on seawater agar at pH 6-10 (optimum pH 7.5±0.2). It showed maximum (97.6â%) 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and formed a monophyletic clade with Domibacillus robiginosus WS 4628(T) (â=âDSM 25058(T)). The genomic DNA G+C content was 37.4 mol% and the strain showed 37.7â% DNA-DNA relatedness to D. robiginosus DSM 25058(T). The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15â:â0, C16â:â0, iso-C15â:â0 and iso-C16â:â0 and MK-6 was the predominant quinone. The polar lipid profile of strain SD111(T) consisted of unidentified phospholipids (PL1 and PL2), phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG). The cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and the peptidoglycan was of A1γ type. Glucose and ribose were detected as major cell-wall sugars. Results from polyphasic studies indicated that SD111(T) represents a novel species of the genus Domibacillus for which the name Domibacillus indicus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SD111(T) (â=âMCC 2255(T)â=âDSM 28032(T)).

A crowded vegetable market serves as a mass gathering, posing a potential risk for infection transmission. In this study, we isolated a multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strain, VRL-M19, from the air of such a market and conducted comparative genomics and phenotypic characterization. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing, genome sequencing using Illumina HiSeq X10, and pan-genome analysis with 788 clinical isolates identified core, accessory, and unique drug-resistant determinants. Mutational analysis of drug-resistance genes, virulence factor annotation, in vitro pathogenicity assessment, subsystem analysis, Multilocus sequence typing, and whole genome phylogenetic analysis were performed. VRL-M19 exhibited multidrug resistance with 69 determinants, and analysis across 788 clinical isolates and 350 Indian isolates revealed more accessory genes (52 out of 69) in the Indian isolates. Multiple mutations were observed in drug target modification genes, and the strain was identified as a moderate biofilm-former with 55 virulence factors. Whole genome phylogenetics indicated a close relationship between VRL-M19 and clinical A. baumannii strains. In conclusion, our comprehensive study suggests that VRL-M19 is a multidrug-resistant, potential pathogen with biofilm-forming capabilities, closely associated with clinical A. baumannii strains.
