AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary Material

Two novel bacterial strains, designated HNIBRBA15423T and 25HG05S-40T, were isolated from the root of a halophyte and from a riverbank soil in the Republic of Korea, respectively. Cells of both strains were Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented, non-motile, and rod-shaped. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that both strains belong to the genus Flavobacterium. Strains HNIBRBA15423T and 25HG05S-40T showed the highest sequence similarity to Flavobacterium jejuense EC11T (98.5%) and Flavobacterium dankookense ARSA-19T (98.3%), respectively. The major cellular fatty acids of both strains included iso-C15:0, iso-C15:1 G, and iso-C17:0 3-OH. Both strains contained menaquinone-6 as the respiratory quinone and phosphatidylethanolamine as the major polar lipid. The complete genome sizes and DNA G + C contents were 4.29 Mb and 29.7% for strain HNIBRBA15423T, and 3.45 Mb and 36.6% for strain 25HG05S-40T. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values were calculated. For HNIBRBA15423T, ANI value compared to F. jejuense EC11T were 85.2% with dDDH value of 29.5%. For 25HG05S-40T, ANI values compared to F. dankookense DSM 25687T and F. wongokense WG47T were 76.0% and 78.6%, respectively, with dDDH value of 20.3% and 21.5%. Based on the polyphasic taxonomic data, strains HNIBRBA15423T and 25HG05S-40T represent two novel species within the genus Flavobacterium, for which the names Flavobacterium suaedicola sp. nov. and Flavobacterium wonjuense sp. nov. are proposed.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Strain HME6451T was isolated from Lake Soyang in Korea. Phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain HME6451T formed a lineage within the genus Pedobacter. The strain HME6451T was closely related to Pedobacter daechungensis (95.4% sequence similarity), Pedobacter lentus (94.4%), and Pedobacter glucosidilyticus (93.8%). And strain HME6451T was a Gram-staining-negative, short rodshaped, strictly aerobic bacterium. The major fatty acids were iso-C15:0 (41.2%), summed feature 3 (comprising C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c; 23.1%), and iso-C17:0-3OH (10.1%). The polar lipids of HME6451T were consisted of one phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminolipid, one unidentified phospholipid and four unidentified polar lipids. The DNA G+C content was 36.0 mol%. On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, strain HME6451T represent a novel species of the genus Pedobacter, for which the name Pedobacter soyangensis sp. nov., is proposed the type strain HME6451T (=KCTC 23467T =CECT 7865T).

AbstractAbstract PDF
A Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped and red-pigmented bacterial strain, HMD3125T, was isolated from a solar saltern in Jeungdo, Republic of Korea. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HMD3125T formed a lineage within the genus Pontibacter and was similar to Pontibacter salisaro (96.1%) and P. korlensis (95.3%). The major fatty acids of strain HMD3125T were summed feature 4 (comprising iso-C17:1 I and/or anteiso-C17:1 B; 30.4%), iso-C15:0 (20.4%) and iso-C17:0 3OH (17.2%). The polar lipid profile of HMD3125T consisted of the phosphatidylethanolamine, four unidentified polar lipids, unidentified phospholipid, unidentified aminolipid and unidentified aminophospholipid. Strain HMD3125T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and sym-homospermidine as the major polyamine. The DNA G+C content of strain HMD3125T was 45.6 mol%. Strain HMD3125T assigned as a novel species in the genus Pontibacter, for which the name Pontibacter jeungdoensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HMD3125T (=KCTC 23156T =CECT 7710T).
