RESUMO
A novel bacterial strain, designated WL0086T, was isolated from a marine sediment sample collected in Lianyungang city, Jiangsu province, PR China. This strain showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Geminisphaera colitermitum TAV2T (92.7â%) of the family Opitutaceae, and all the unclassified cultured and uncultured isolates with similarities >95â% were from marine environments. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile cocci with a size of 0.6-0.8 µm in diameter. Strain WL0086T was positive for both oxidase and catalase, and grew at 20-37â°C (optimum, 28â°C), with 1.5-11.0â% NaCl (w/v; optimum, 2.5-4.0â%) and at pH 5.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0). The major polar lipid profile of strain WL0086T consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylcholine. The major isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone-7 and the predominant fatty acids were iso-C14â:â0, anteiso-C15â:â0, C16â:â0 and C16â:â1 ω9c. The complete genome consisted of a chromosome with 6â109â182 bp. The G+C content of genomic DNA was 64.0%. Results of phylogenomic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence and the whole genome suggested that strain WL0086T formed a distinct clade closely neighbouring the members of the family Opitutaceae. On the basis of phylogenetic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic evidences, strain WL0086T should represent a novel genus of the family Opitutaceae, for which the name Actomonas aquatica gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WL0086T (=MCCC 1K05844T=JCM 34677T=GDMCC 1.2411T).

Two novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped bacteria, designated as WL0004T and XHP0148T, were isolated from seawater samples collected from the coastal areas of Nantong and Lianyungang, PR China, respectively. Both strains were found to grow at 10-42â°C (optimum, 37â°C) and with 2.0-5.0â% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 3.0â%). Strain WL0004T grew at pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0-8.0), while XHP0148T grew at pH 6.0-10.0 (optimum, pH 7.0-8.0). The major cellular fatty acids (>10â%) of both strains included summed feature 8 (C18â:â1 ω6c and/or C18â:â1 ω7c). In addition, strain WL0004T contained 11-methyl C18â:â1 ω7c and strain XHP0148T contained C12â:â0 3-OH. The respiratory quinone of both strains was ubiquinone-10. The G+C content of genomic DNA of strains WL0004T and XHP0148T were 62.5 and 63.0âmol%, respectively. Strains WL0004T and XHP0148T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS-3T (99.4 and 99.0â%, respectively), and the 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analysis indicated that the two strains were closely related to members of the genus Ruegeria. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values among the two strains and type strains of the genus Ruegeria were all below 95 and 70â%, respectively, and the phylogenetic tree reconstructed from the bac120 gene set indicated that the two strains are distinct from each other and the members of the genus Ruegeria. Based on this phenotypic and genotypic characterization, strains WL0004T (=MCCC 1K07523T=JCM 35565T=GDMCC 1.3083T) and XHP0148T (=MCCC 1K07543T=JCM 35569T=GDMCC 1.3089T) should be recognized as representing two novel species of the genus Ruegeria and the names Ruegeria marisflavi sp. nov. and Ruegeria aquimaris sp. nov. are proposed, respectively.

AIMS: This study aimed to characterize the first complete genome of Corynebacterium parakroppenstedtii and clarify the evolutionary relationship in the Corynebacterium kroppenstedtii complex (CKC) by using comparative genomics analysis. METHODS AND RESULTS: The genome of isolate yu01 from a breast specimen was sequenced, and 35 CKC genomes were collected. Analysis of 16S rRNA, rpoB, and fusA suggested ambiguous identification, whereas ANI analysis assigned isolate yu01 as Coryne. parakroppenstedtii. The fourth genospecies "Corynebacterium aliikroppenstedtii" was identified in CKC. Comparative genomics analysis suggested that the genomic arrangement in CKC was highly conserved. A total of 43 potential virulence genes and 79 species-specific genes were detected. Most genome-based phylogenetic analysis were incapable of resolving the interspecific evolutionary relationships among CKCs. A total of 20 core genes were found to be distinguishable in CKC. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggested the limited divergence and unavailability of normal single gene-based identification in CKC and questioned the precise species of strains associated with mastitis, identified as Coryne. kroppenstedtii in previous studies. The 20 genes showed potential to enhance the methods for the identification and epidemiological investigation of CKC.

Two novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, and non-motile strains, designated FZY0004T and YYF002T, were isolated from an agar-degrading co-culture, which was obtained from seawater of the intertidal zone of Yancheng City, the Yellow Sea of China. Strain FZY0004T optimally grew at 28 °C, pH 7.0, and 2-6% NaCl, while strain YYF002T optimally grew at 28 °C, pH 7.5, and 2-4% NaCl. Strain FZY0004T possessed Q-9 as the major respiratory quinone, and its major fatty acids (> 10%) were summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c), C16:0, and summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c). The polar lipids identified in strain FZY0004T were phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), and several unidentified phospholipids (PL) and lipids (L). On the other hand, strain YYF002T had MK-6 as the predominant respiratory quinone and its major fatty acids consisted of iso-C15:0, iso-C15:1 G, and iso-C15:0 3-OH. The polar lipids identified in strain YYF002T were aminolipid (AL), PE, and several unidentified lipids. Strain FZY0004T shared 99.5% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and 90.1% average nucleotide identity (ANI) with T. povalilytica Zumi 95T, and strain YYF002T shared 99.2% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and 88.2% ANI with W. poriferorum JCM 12885T. The genomic DNA G + C contents of strains FZY0004T and YYF002T were 54.5% and 33.5%, respectively. The phylogenetic, phenotypic, and physiological characteristics permitted the distinction of the two strains from their neighbors, and we thus propose the names Thalassospira aquimaris sp. nov. (type strain FZY0004T = JCM 35895T = MCCC 1K08380T) and Winogradskyella marincola sp. nov. (type strain YYF002T = JCM 35950T = MCCC 1K08382T).

During our studies on the microorganism diversity from air of manufacturing shop in a pharmaceutical factory in Shandong province, China, a Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, cocci-shaped bacterium, designated LY-0111T, was isolated from a settling dish. Strain LY-0111T grew at temperature of 10-42 °C (optimum 35 °C), pH of 5.0-10.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and NaCl concentration of 1-12% (optimum 0.5-3%, w/v). Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strain shared the highest sequence similarities to Nesterenkonia halophila YIM 70179T (96.2%), and was placed within the radiation of Nesterenkonia species in the phylogenetic trees. The genome of the isolate was sequenced, which comprised 2,931,270 bp with G + C content of 66.5%. A supermatrix tree based on the gene set bac120 indicated that LY-0111T was close related to Nesterenkonia xinjiangensis YIM 70097T (16S rRNA gene sequence similarity 95.3%). Chemotaxonomic analysis indicated that the main respiratory quinones were MK-7, MK-8, and MK-9, the predominant cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 and iso-C15:0, and the major polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. According to the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic features, strain LY-0111T is considered to represent a novel species, for which the name Nesterenkonia aerolata sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LY-0111T (= JCM 36375T = GDMCC 1.3945T). In addition, Nesterenkonia jeotgali was proposed as a later synonym of Nesterenkonia sandarakina, according to the ANI (96.8%) and dDDH (72.9%) analysis between them.

BACKGROUND: Genome-scale phylogenetic analysis based on core gene sets is routinely used in microbiological research. However, the techniques are still not approachable for individuals with little bioinformatics experience. Here, we present EasyCGTree, a user-friendly and cross-platform pipeline to reconstruct genome-scale maximum-likehood (ML) phylogenetic tree using supermatrix (SM) and supertree (ST) approaches. RESULTS: EasyCGTree was implemented in Perl programming languages and was built using a collection of published reputable programs. All the programs were precompiled as standalone executable files and contained in the EasyCGTree package. It can run after installing Perl language environment. Several profile hidden Markov models (HMMs) of core gene sets were prepared in advance to construct a profile HMM database (PHD) that was enclosed in the package and available for homolog searching. Customized gene sets can also be used to build profile HMM and added to the PHD via EasyCGTree. Taking 43 genomes of the genus Paracoccus as the testing data set, consensus (a variant of the typical SM), SM, and ST trees were inferred via EasyCGTree successfully, and the SM trees were compared with those inferred via the pipelines UBCG and bcgTree, using the metrics of cophenetic correlation coefficients (CCC) and Robinson-Foulds distance (topological distance). The results suggested that EasyCGTree can infer SM trees with nearly identical topology (distance < 0.1) and accuracy (CCC > 0.99) to those of trees inferred with the two pipelines. CONCLUSIONS: EasyCGTree is an all-in-one automatic pipeline from input data to phylogenomic tree with guaranteed accuracy, and is much easier to install and use than the reference pipelines. In addition, ST is implemented in EasyCGTree conveniently and can be used to explore prokaryotic evolutionary signals from a different perspective. The EasyCGTree version 4 is freely available for Linux and Windows users at Github ( https://github.com/zdf1987/EasyCGTree4 ).

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and coccoid bacterial strain, designated XHP0099T, was isolated from the coastal water of the Yellow Sea, China. Growth occurred at 20-37 â (optimum, 28 â), pH 5.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0-8.0), and with 0-7.0% NaCl (optimum, 2.0-3.0%). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain XHP0099T was related to members of the genus Paracoccus and shared the highest sequence similarity with "P. siganidrum" M26 (98.2%), followed by P. alkanivorans 4-2 T (97.6%) and P. alkenifer DSM 11593 T (97.4%). The average nucleotide identity, amino acid identity, and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values of strain XHP0099T against related members in the genus Paracoccus were below the cut-off points proposed for the delineation of a novel species. The major cellular fatty acids (> 10%) were summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c/C18:1 ω6c), and C18:0. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-10 and the polar lipids contained diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylcholine (PC), aminolipid (AL) and unidentified polar lipids (L). The G + C content of the genomic DNA of strain XHP0099T was 66.0%. Genomic analysis suggested that strain XHP0099T harbored gene clusters for formaldehyde and the XoxF-type methanol oxidation and type 1 Calvin cycle, which could confer the methylotrophy pathway. Based on the phenotypic, phylogenetic, biochemical and chemotaxonomic analysis, strain XHP0099T represents a novel species of the genus Paracoccus, for which the name Paracoccus marinaquae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XHP0099T (= JCM 34661 T = GDMCC 1.2414 T = MCCC 1K05846T).

Strain XHP0103T grew optimally at 28â°C, pH 7.5 and in 1.0-3.0â% (w/v) sea salt. MK-6 was the major respiratory quinone. The major cellular fatty acids (>10%) were iso-C15â:â0, iso-C15â:â1 G and iso-C17â:â0 3-OH. The polar lipid profile contained phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminolipid, an unidentified glycolipid and an unidentified lipid. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain XHP0103T displayed highest sequence similarity to Aestuariibaculum marinum IP7T (94.1â%). However, the phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences suggested that strain XHP0103T clustered with Tamlana crocina HST1-43T (93.4â% sequence similarity) and Aestuariivivens insulae AH-MY3T (93.5â%). Genome sequencing revealed that strain XHP0103T comprised 3â134â388 bp with 2770 protein-coding genes, and the DNA G+C content was 35.5 %. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain XHP0103T and T. crocina HST1-43T were 73.6 and 17.3â%, respectively. Based on phylogenetic, phenotypic, genomic and chemotaxonomic evidence, strain XHP0103T represents a novel genus in the family Flavobacteriaceae, for which the name Marixanthotalea marina gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XHP0103T (=MCCC 1K06060T=JCM 34682T).

The genome-based phylogenies showed that strain LJY008T was closely associated with members of the genus Jinshanibacter, Insectihabitans, and Limnobaculum. The average nucleotide identities and average amino acid identities (AAI) among strain LJY008T and closely related neighbours were all below 95%, and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization values among them were all below 36%. The genomic DNA G + C content of strain LJY008T was 46.1%. Based on the phenotypic, phylogenetic, biochemical and chemotaxonomic analysis, strain LJY008T represents a novel species of the genus Limnobaculum, for which the name Limnobaculum eriocheiris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LJY008T (= JCM 34675T = GDMCC 1.2436T = MCCC 1K06016T). In addition, the genera Jinshanibacter and Insectihabitans were reclassified as Limnobaculum, because there was no significant genome-scale divergence or diagnosable difference on phenotypic and chemotaxonomic traits, such as strains of Jinshanibacter and Insectihabitans sharing AAI values of 93.88-94.96%.

A novel Gram-staining-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped bacterium, designated WL0058T, was isolated from coastal sediment sample collected in Nantong city, Jiangsu province of China (120° 51' 13â³ E, 32° 6' 26â³ N) in October 2020. Strain WL0058T was found to grow at 4-37 °C (optimum, 28 °C) with 1.5-4.0% NaCl (optimum, 4.0%) and displayed alkaliphilic growth with the pH range of pH 6.0-10.0 (optimum, pH 6.0). Phylogenetic trees constructed based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain WL0058T is a member of the family Rhizobiaceae, shared the highest similarity with "Hoeflea prorocentri" CCTCC AB 2016294T (97.7%) and constituted a sub-cluster within the family with it, while the similarity with others in the family Rhizobiaceae was lower than 97.0%. The G + C content of genomic DNA was 59.5 mol%. Polar lipids profile of strain WL0058T included phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and glycolipid (GL), phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine (PME) and two unidentified polar lipids (L). The major isoprenoid quinone was determined to be Q-10 and the major fatty acids were C16:0, C18:0, summed features 4 (iso-C17:1 and/or anteiso-C17:1), and summed features 8 (C18:1ω6c and/or C18:1ω7c). As inferred from the morphology, physiology, and biochemical analysis, genotypic characteristics, and the phylogenetic trees, strain WL0058T ought to be recognized as a novel genus in the family Rhizobiaceae, for which the name Flavimaribacter sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Flavimaribacter sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov. is WL0058T (= MCCC 1K06063T = JCM 34659T = GDMCC 1.2448T).

A Gram-staining-positive, non-motile, aerobic, spherical actinobacterium, designated WL0053T, was isolated from the coastal sediment of Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain WL0053T exhibited the highest similarities to Nocardioides mesophilus MSL-22T (98.0%), N. massiliensis GD12T (97.8%), Marmoricola bigeumensis MSL-05T (97.6%), and N. jensenii DSM 20641T (97.3%). The polyphasic taxonomic approach was used for the identification of strain WL0053T. This strain formed white, round, and smooth colonies and grew in the presence of 0-18% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0-4.0%), at pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and at 20-37 °C (optimum, 28 °C). The main cellular fatty acids comprised of C17:1 ω8c, C18:1 ω9c, and iso-C16:0. The genomic DNA G + C content was 71.9%. The predominant quinone was MK-8(H4), and the major polar lipid consisted of phosphatidylcholine, glycolipid, phosphatidylethanolamine, and two unidentified phospholipids. Phylogenetic trees of 16S rRNA gene and bac120 gene set indicted that strain WL0053T was closely related to the species N. iriomotensis and N. mesophilus, while these two species clustered in a separate clade together with M. caldifontis YIM 730233T in the bac120 tree. Combined with the analysis of average nucleotide identity (ANI), average amino acid identity (AAI), and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH), it can be considered that the strain WL0053T is a new member of the genus Nocardioides and is proposed to be named as Nocardioides jiangsuensis sp. nov.. The type strain is WL0053T (=MCCC 1K05897T=JCM 34671T=GDMCC 4.192T). Furthermore, based on the fact that the genera Nocardioides and Marmoricola both appeared polyphyletic with no significant difference on phenotypic and chemotaxonomic traits, we proposed to reclassify the genus Marmoricola as Nocardioides.

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and aerobic bacterium, designated HHU G3-2T, was isolated from surface water of the Yellow Sea, PR China. Strain HHU G3-2T was positive for oxidase activity and negative for catalase. Optimal growth occurred at 28 °C (range, 20-37 °C), pH 7.0 (range, pH 6.0-9.0) and in the presence of 2-5 % (w/v) NaCl (range, 1-7%). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and 120 ubiquitous single-copy protein-coding genes indicated that strain HHU G3-2T formed a distinct phylogenetic lineage with Aestuariicella hydrocarbonica JCM 30134T, sharing a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 98.05%. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain HHU G3-2T and A. hydrocarbonica JCM 30134T were 75.74 and 17.80%, respectively, which were below the threshold values of 95-96 and 70 %, respectively. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA was 51.17 mol%. The major fatty acids (>10â%) were C17 : 1 ω8c (19.8â%), summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c/C16 : 1 ω6c; 15.9â%), summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c/C18 : 1 ω6c; 13.8â%) and C17 : 0 (10.3â%). The predominant isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-8. The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. Based on the polyphasic taxonomic data, strain HHU G3-2T represents a novel species of the genus Aestuariicella, for which the name Aestuariicella albida sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HHU G3-2T (=MCCC 1K04224T=JCM 34652T=GDMCC 1.2418T=CGMCC 1.17397T). In addition, we proposed the genus Aestuariicella as a member of the family Cellvibrionaceae.

AIMS: This study aimed to characterize the chromosome and plasmid sequences, and determine the transferability of plasmids in carbapenem-resistance Acinetobacter baumannii DD520 and Klebsiella pneumoniae DD521 isolates from the same patient who was co-infected in a hospital in China. METHODS AND RESULTS: Both isolates DD520 and DD521 exhibited multidrug resistance phenotype, especially the former isolate which was resistant to nine classes of antimicrobials including carbapenems, quinolones, penicillins, cephalosporins, tetracyclines, phenicols, fosfomycins, sulfanilamides and aminoglycosides. Carbapenem resistance genes of blaOXA-23 and blaOXA-66 were identified on the chromosome of A. baumannii DD520, and blaKPC-2 was found in the plasmid pDD521.2 from K. pneumoniae DD521. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. baumannii DD520 belonged to the ST540 clone, and K. pneumoniae DD521 belonged to the ST2237 clone. Plasmid analysis suggested that blaKPC-2 was embedded into plasmid pDD521.2, which might be resulted from IS26- and Tn1721-mediated transposition. Plasmid pDD521.2 carrying blaKPC-2 successfully transferred from K. pneumoniae DD521 into Escherichia coli C600, and carbapenems resistance also transferred in the conjugation. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, it was the first report of A. baumannii ST540 and K. pneumoniae ST2237 in the same patient in China. Both these two isolates exhibited resistance to carbapenem, which was likely to have resulted from carbapenem-resistance genes blaOXA-23 -blaOXA-66 on the chromosome of A. baumannii ST540, and blaKPC-2 in the plasmid of K. pneumoniae ST2237. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Our study highlighted that effective measures were urgent to prevent and control the co-infection caused by two or more carbapenem-resistance pathogens in the same patient.

A Gram-staining-negative, aerobic and pear-shaped bacterial strain, designated WL0036T, was isolated from coastal sediment sample collected in Nantong city, Jiangsu province of China (120° 51' 13â³ E, 32° 6' 26â³ N) in October 2020. Strain WL0036T was found to grow at 20-37 °C (optimum, 28 °C) with 0-9.0% NaCl (optimum, 2.5-4.0%) and displayed alkaliphilic growth with the pH range of pH 6.0-10.0 (optimum, pH 7.0-8.0). The polar lipids profile of strain WL0036T included phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, glycolipid and an unidentified lipid. The major isoprenoid quinone was determined to be Q-11 and the major fatty acids were C16:0, 11-methyl-C18:1ω7c, and summed features 8 (C18:1ω6c and/or C18:1ω7c). The G + C content of genomic DNA was 61.8%. Phylogenetic trees constructed based on 16S rRNA gene sequence and bac120 gene set (a collection of 120 single-copy protein sequences prevalent in bacteria) indicted that strain WL0036T clustered with strains Hyphomonas neptunium ATCC 15444T and H. polymorpha PS728T. The average nucleotide identities between strain WL0036T and strains H. neptunium ATCC 15444T and H. polymorpha PS728T were 80.7% and 81.2%, respectively. Strain WL0036T showed 22.8% and 23.2% of digital DNA-DNA hybridization identities with H. neptunium ATCC 15444T and H. polymorpha PS728T, respectively. As inferred from the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics and the phylogenetic trees, strain WL0036T ought to be recognized as a novel species in genus Hyphomonas, for which the name Hyphomonas sediminis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WL0036T (= MCCC 1K05843T = JCM 34658T = GDMCC 1.2413T).

A Gram-stain-negative, light yellow pigmented, non-motile and aerobic bacterial strain, designated HHU E2-1 T, was isolated from a surface seawater sample. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that HHU E2-1 T shared the highest sequence similarity to the type strain Qipengyuania gaetbuli DSM 16225 T (96.90%), which belongs to the family Erythrobacteraceae. Combined phylogeny of 288 single-copy orthologous gene clusters, analysis of average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH), average amino acid identity (AAI) and evolutionary distances suggested that HHU E2-1 T can be considered as a member of the genus Altererythrobacter based on the recently proposed standard for defining genera of Erythrobacteraceae. Strain HHU E2-1 T grew at 15-35 °C and pH 5.0-8.0, with optimum growth at 28 °C and pH 7.0. Tolerance to NaCl was up to 4% (w/v) with optimum growth in 2-3% NaCl. The major fatty acids (> 10%) were C18:1ω7c11-methyl, summed feature 3 (C16:1ω7c and/or C16:1ω6c), and summed feature 8 (C18:1ω7c and/or C18:1ω6c). The predominant isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-10. The genomic G + C content was 57.40%. On the basis of the phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characterizations, HHU E2-1 T represents a novel species of the genus Altererythrobacter, for which the name Altererythrobacter flava sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HHU E2-1 T (= CGMCC 1.17394 T = KCTC 72835 T = MCCC 1K04226T).

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, orange-pigmented bacterial strain, designated HHU K3-1 T, was isolated from the surface water of the Yellow Sea. The strain was observed to grow on 2216E agar medium, and growth occurred at pH 6.0-8.0 (optimum 7.0), 28-37 °C (optimum 28 °C), and in the presence of 0.5-5% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 1-3%). The major fatty acids (> 10%) were summed feature 3 (C16:1ω6c/C16:1ω7c), C17:1ω6c and summed feature 8 (C18:1ω6c/C18:1ω7c). Strain HHU K3-1 T was found to contain ubiquinone-10 as the predominant quinone and the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and sphingoglycolipid (SGL). The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain HHU K3-1 T shared highest similarities with Pelagerythrobacter marensis KCTC 22370 T (97.7%) and Qipengyuania oceanensis MCCC 1A09965T (96.9%). However, a phylogenetic tree based on 288 orthologous clusters (OCs) indicated that HHU K3-1 T was close related to Parapontixanthobacter aurantiacus MCCC 1A09962T. The pairwise AAI and evolutionary distance between HHU K3-1 T and Parapontixanthobacter aurantiacus MCCC 1A09962T are 67.1% and 0.43, respectively, which meet the recently proposed standard to differentiate genera in the family Erythrobacteraceae. On the basis of the result obtained by the polyphasic taxonomic study, strain HHU K3-1 T can be considered to represent a novel genus in the family Erythrobacteraceae, for which the name Actirhodobacter atriluteus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HHU K3-1 T (= MCCC 1K04225T = KCTC 72834 T = CGMCC 1.17395 T).

A Gram-staining-negative bacterium, strain HHU 13199T, was isolated from a marine sediment sample collected from South China Sea (119°19.896'E, 19°41.569'N) at a depth of 2918 m. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain HHU 13199T represents a member of the genus Salinimonas with the highest sequence similarity (99.8%) to the type strain S. iocasae KX18D6T. However, the average nucleotide identity values and digital DNA-DNA hybridization between strain HHU 13199T and closely related members of the genus Salinimonas were all below the cut-off level (95-96 % and 70%, respectively) for species delineation. This strain grew with sea salt of 0.5-18% (w/v) (optimum, 2-5%), but no growth observed when using NaCl instead. The major fatty acids are C16:0, summed feature 3 (C16:1ω7c and/or C16:1ω6c), and summed feature 8 (C18:1ω7c and/or C18:1ω6c). The predominant isoprenoid quinone is ubiquinone-8. The polar lipids mainly consist of phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylglycerol. Genomic characterization revealed that strain HHU 13199T harbors a distinct type I-F CRISPR-Cas system and plenty of genes associated with heavy metal resistance, including a transposon (Tn6333) conferring mercury resistance. In addition, a phylogenetic tree based on the bac120 core genes suggested that the genus Salinimonas should be a subclade within Alteromonas. On the basis of the phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characterizations, strain HHU 13199T represents a novel species of the genus Salinimonas, for which the name Salinimonas profundi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HHU 13199T (= KCTC 72837T = MCCC 1K04127T).

The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that HHU CXWT represents a member of the genus Sphingomonas with the highest sequence similarity (97.6%) to the type strain S. aquatilis JSS7T. HHU CXWT grew at 4-35 °C and pH 6-8, with optimum growth at 28 °C and pH 7. Tolerance to NaCl was up to 2% (w/v) with optimum growth in 0.5-1.0% NaCl. The major fatty acids were C16:0, C17:1ω6c, C18:1ω7c11-methyl, summed feature 3 (C16:1ω7c and/or C16:1ω6c), and summed feature 8 (C18:1ω7c and/or C18:1ω6c). The predominant isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-10. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), sphingoglycolipid (SGL), phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIM), and an unidentified glycolipid (GL). The DNA G + C content was 67.1%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) values and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) between HHU CXWT and closely related members of the genus Sphingomonas were all below the cut-off level (95-96% and 70%, respectively) for species delineation. On the basis of the phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characterizations, HHU CXWT represents a novel species of the genus Sphingomonas, for which the name Sphingomonas hominis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HHU CXWT (= KCTC 72946T = CGMCC 1.17504T = MCCC 1K04223T).

Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs), also known as superantigens, play a very important role in infections and food poisoning caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Recently, S. argenteus and S. schweitzeri were recognized as novel species closely related to S. aureus. In this study of these three species, it was found that two putative SE genes were located upstream of some vSaß pathogenicity islands and the deduced amino acid sequences showed <â¯65.3% identity with those of known SEs. The related proteins, designated staphylococcal enterotoxin-like toxin 26 (SEl26) and 27 (SEl27), were identified and characterized among the three species. The mRNAs encoding SEl26 and SEl27 were expressed during all the growth phases. Recombinant SEl26 and SEl27 exhibited superantigenic activity in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and mouse splenocytes by examining cell proliferation and cytokine production. Interestingly, these two genes were present universally in S. argenteus sequence type 2250 with clinical importance. Meanwhile, SEl27 variants from different species showed differential sensitivity to human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, which corresponded to the primary bacterial species hosts. It was demonstrated from these results that SEl26 and SEl27 were characterized to be two novel SE toxins and some SEs evolved along with the bacteria when the organisms adapted the hosts' immune systems.
