A novel haloarchaeal species designated as MBLA0099T was
isolated from seawater near Yeongheung Island. Cells were
Gram-negative, non-motile, red-pigmented, and rod-shaped.
They grew at 10–45°C, within pH 5.5–9.0, and between 7.5%
and 30% NaCl concentrations. Cells were able to grow without
Mg2+ and were lysed in distilled water. The size of the
whole-genome and G + C content of DNA was 3.02 Mb and
68.9 mol%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis shows that
the strain MBLA0099T belongs to the genus Halorubrum.
The average nucleotide and amino acid identity, and in silico
DNA-DNA hybridization values were below the species delineation
threshold. Pan-genomic analysis revealed that 3.2%
of all genes present in strain MBLA0099T were unique to the
strain. The red carotenoid produced by strain MBLA0099T
was subjected to spectrometric and chromatographic analyses
and confirmed to be bacterioruberin as C50 carotenoid.
Mevalonic acid, terpenoid backbone, and carotenoid biosynthesis
pathway were annotated for strain MBLA0099T. The
C50 carotenoid production by strain MBLA0099T was also enhanced
under various stress conditions including relatively
netural pH, high oxidative and salinity conditions. Additionally,
the strain MBLA0099T-derived bacterioruberin showed
the antioxidant activity with EC50 value of 12.29 μg/ml, based
on the evaluation of DPPH free radical scavenging activity.
The present study would be the first report on the identification
of C50 carotenoid from the strain MBLA0099T representing
a novel species of the genus Halorubrum, for which
the name Halorubrum ruber sp. nov. is proposed. The typestrain
used was MBLA0099T (= KCTC 4296T = JCM 34701T).

Strain ML311-T8T was isolated from a glacial retreat area in
Svalbard, Norway, and was taxonomically characterized by
a polyphasic approach. Upon phylogenetic analysis, strain
ML311-T8T was clustered with Paenibacillus arcticus MME2_
R6T and P. contaminans CKOBP-6T with 98.3–98.6 and 93.5–
93.9% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, respectively.
DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain ML311-T8T
and P. arcticus MME2_R6T was 19.9%. The genomic DNA
G+C content was 41.1 mol%. The isolated strain was Gramstain-
positive, strictly aerobic and rod-shaped, and grew in
0–0.5% (w/v) NaCl, at 4–23°C and pH 6.0–10.0, with optimal
growth in 0% (w/v) NaCl, at 20°C and pH 7.0–8.0. The predominant
respiratory quinone of strain ML311-T8T was MK-
7 and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 and C16:0. The
polar lipids of strain ML311-T8T were phosphatidylglycerol,
phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified
amino lipids, and three unidentified lipids. On the
basis of polyphasic taxonomic analysis, the strain ML311-T8T
is proposed to represent a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus,
for which the name Paenibacillus psychroresistens sp.
nov. is proposed. The type strain is ML311-T8T (= KCCM
43190T = JCM 31243T).

A yellow pigmented bacterium designated strain MBLN094T
within the family Flavobacteriaceae was isolated from a halophyte
Salicornia europaea on the coast of the Yellow Sea.
This strain was a Gram-stain negative, aerobic, non-spore
forming, rod-shaped bacterium. Phylogenetic analysis of
the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain MBLN094T was found
to be related to the genus Zunongwangia, exhibiting 16S rRNA
gene sequence similarity values of 97.0, 96.8, 96.4, and 96.3%
to Zunongwangia mangrovi P2E16T, Z. profunda SM-A87T,
Z. atlantica 22II14-10F7T, and Z. endophytica CPA58T, respectively.
Strain MBLN094T grew at 20‒37°C (optimum, 25‒
30°C), at pH 6.0‒10.0 (optimum, 7.0‒8.0), and with 0.5‒15.0%
(w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2.0‒5.0%). Menaquinone MK-6 was
the sole respiratory quinone. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine,
two unidentified aminolipids, and four
unidentified lipids. Major fatty acids were iso-C17:0 3-OH,
summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c and/or C16:1 ω7c), and iso-C15:0.
The genomic DNA G + C content was 37.4 mol%. Based on
these polyphasic taxonomic data, strain MBLN094T is considered
to represent a novel species of the genus Zunongwangia,
for which the name Zunongwangia flava sp. nov. is
proposed. The type strain is MBLN094T (= KCTC 62279T =
JCM 32262T).
