Abstract
Two strains (GL-11-2T and ZH2-Y79) were isolated from the seawater collected from the West Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea, respectively. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped. Cells grew in the medium containing 0.5–7.5 % NaCl (w/v, optimum, 1.0–3.0 %), at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 6.5–7.0) and at 4–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C). H2S production occurred in marine broth supplemented with sodium thiosulphate. The almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequences of the two isolates were identical, and exhibited the highest similarity to
Pseudoruegeria aquimaris
JCM 13603T (97.5 %), followed by
Ruegeria conchae
TW15T (97.2%),
Shimia aestuarii
DSM 15283T (97.1 %) and
Ruegeria lacuscaerulensis
ITI-1157T (97.0 %). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the isolates were affiliated with the family
Roseobacteraceae
and represented an independent lineage. The sole isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone 10. The principal fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1
ω7c and/or C18 : 1
ω6c) and cyclo-C19 : 0
ω8c. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and diphosphatidylglycerol. The DNA G+C content was 62.3 mol%. The orthologous average nucleotide identity, in silico DNA–DNA hybridization and average amino acid identity values among the genomes of strain GL-11-2T and the reference strains were 73.2–79.0, 20.3–22.5 and 66.0–80.8 %, respectively. Strains GL-11-2ᵀ and ZH2-Y79 possessed complete metabolic pathways for thiosulphate oxidation, dissimilatory nitrate reduction and denitrification. Phylogenetic distinctiveness, chemotaxonomic differences and phenotypic properties revealed that the isolates represent a novel genus and species of the family
Roseobacteraceae
, belonging to the class
Alphaproteobacteria
, for which the name Thiosulfatihalobacter marinus gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain, GL-11–2T=KCTC 82723T=MCCC M20691T) is proposed.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, white-pigmented, short rod-shaped, and alginate-degrading bacterium, designated B1Z28T, was isolated from the gut of the abalone Haliotis rubra obtained at Weihai, China. Strain B1Z28T was found to grow at 4-35 °C, pH 6.5-9.0, and in the presence of 0.5-8.0% (w/v) NaCl. Cells were positive for oxidase and catalase activity. The 16S rRNA-based phylogenetic analysis revealed that the nearest phylogenetic neighbors of strain B1Z28T were Tritonibacter scottomollicae MCCC 1A06440T (98.1%), Ruegeria faecimaris KCTC 23044T (98.0%), and Ruegeria meonggei KCTC 32450T (97.8%). Based on phylogenomic analysis, the average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strain B1Z28T and the neighbor strains were 71.6, 77.2, and 78.1%, respectively; the digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values based on the draft genomes between strain B1Z28T and its closest neighbors were 20.5, 20.8, and 21.6%, respectively. Ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) was detected as the predominant respiratory quinone. The dominant cellular fatty acids were Summed feature 8 (contained C18:1 ω7c and/or C18:1 ω6c). The polar lipids included phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phospholipid (PL), aminolipid (AL), and three unidentified lipids. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics, strain B1Z28T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Ruegeria, for which the name Ruegeria haliotis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is B1Z28T (= KCTC 72686T = MCCC 1H00393T).

Analysis of 1,000+ Type-Strain Genomes Substantially Improves Taxonomic Classification of Alphaproteobacteria. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:468. [PMID: 32373076 PMCID: PMC7179689 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.00468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 299] [Impact Index Per Article: 59.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2019] [Accepted: 03/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The class Alphaproteobacteria is comprised of a diverse assemblage of Gram-negative bacteria that includes organisms of varying morphologies, physiologies and habitat preferences many of which are of clinical and ecological importance. Alphaproteobacteria classification has proved to be difficult, not least when taxonomic decisions rested heavily on a limited number of phenotypic features and interpretation of poorly resolved 16S rRNA gene trees. Despite progress in recent years regarding the classification of bacteria assigned to the class, there remains a need to further clarify taxonomic relationships. Here, draft genome sequences of a collection of genomes of more than 1000 Alphaproteobacteria and outgroup type strains were used to infer phylogenetic trees from genome-scale data using the principles drawn from phylogenetic systematics. The majority of taxa were found to be monophyletic but several orders, families and genera, including taxa recognized as problematic long ago but also quite recent taxa, as well as a few species were shown to be in need of revision. According proposals are made for the recognition of new orders, families and genera, as well as the transfer of a variety of species to other genera and of a variety of genera to other families. In addition, emended descriptions are given for many species mainly involving information on DNA G+C content and (approximate) genome size, both of which are confirmed as valuable taxonomic markers. Similarly, analysis of the gene content was shown to provide valuable taxonomic insights in the class. Significant incongruities between 16S rRNA gene and whole genome trees were not found in the class. The incongruities that became obvious when comparing the results of the present study with existing classifications appeared to be caused mainly by insufficiently resolved 16S rRNA gene trees or incomplete taxon sampling. Another probable cause of misclassifications in the past is the partially low overall fit of phenotypic characters to the sequence-based tree. Even though a significant degree of phylogenetic conservation was detected in all characters investigated, the overall fit to the tree varied considerably.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated CAU 1488T, was isolated from tidal flat sediment, and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. The organism grew optimally at a temperature of 30 °C, at pH 7.0-7.5 and in the presence of 0-6 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain CAU 1488T forms a lineage distinct from Ruegeria marisrubri ZGT 118T (97.9 %), Ruegeria marina ZH17T (97.6 %), Ruegeria lacuscaerulensis ITI 1157T (97.5 %), Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS-3T (97.1 %), Ruegeria profundi ZGT108T (97.0 %), Ruegeria intermedia CC-GIMAT-2T (96.8 %), Ruegeria atlantica CECT 4292T (96.7 %) and Ruegeria kandeliae J95T (95.9 %). Genome sequencing revealed that CAU 1488T had a genome size of 4.23 Mbp and a G+C content of 63.2 mol%. Overall genome related indexes including average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values were 75.0-83.0 % and 26.2 %, which are below the cutoffs of 95 and 70 %, respectively, indicating that strain CAU 1488T represents a distinct species from the members of the genus Ruegeria. The predominant quinone was ubiquinone-10 (Q-10). The major fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c/ω6c; 60.7 %) and its polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and unidentified aminolipids. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genomic data, strain CAU 1488T constitutes a novel species of the genus Ruegeria, for which the name Ruegeria sediminis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CAU 1488T (=KCTC 62996T=NBRC 113693T).

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-flagellated and rod- or ovoid-shaped bacterium, designated as strain S4J41T, was isolated from Antarctic intertidal sediment. The isolate grew at 0-37 °C and with 0.5-10 % (w/v) NaCl. It reduced nitrate to nitrite and hydrolysed Tween 80 and gelatin. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain S4J41T constituted a distinct phylogenetic line within the family Rhodobacteraceae and was closely related with some species in the genera Ruegeria, Phaeobacter, Pseudopuniceibacterium, Sulfitobacter, Puniceibacterium and Poseidonocella with 98.6-95.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities. The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0, summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c) and C18 : 0 and the major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and one unidentified aminolipid. The sole respiratory quinone was Q-10. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain S4J41T was 60.3 mol%. Based on the phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data obtained in this study, strain S4J41T is considered to represent a novel species in a new genus within the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Antarcticimicrobium sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S4J41T (=MCCC 1K03508T=KCTC 62793T). Moreover, the transfer of Ruegeria lutea Kim et al. 2019 to Antarcticimicrobium gen. nov. as Antarcticimicrobium luteum comb. nov. (type strain 318-1T=JCM 30927T=KCTC 72105T) is also proposed.

Abstract
A Gram-negative, rod-shaped and motile bacterium, designated strain J95T, was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of a mangrove plant Kandeliacandel (L.) Druce in Mai Po Nature Reserve, Hong Kong. Growth of strain J95T was observed at pH 5.0-8.5 (optimum, 6.0-7.0), between 10-40 °C (30-37 °C) and in the presence of 0-9 % (w/v) NaCl (0.5-3 %). Chemotaxonomic analysis showed ubiquinone-10 as the predominant respiratory quinone and C18 : 1ω7c and C19 : 0 cycloω8c as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids were lipid, aminolipid, phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The genomic contained a circular chromosome of 5.48 Mb with a DNA G+C content of 65.7 mol%. The genome included 5299 genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain J95T belongs to the genus Ruegeria with highest sequence similarity (96.8 %) to the type strain Ruegeria marina ZH17T. The combined phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data suggested that strain J95T represents a novel species of the genus Ruegeria, for which the name Ruegeria kandeliae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is J95T (=MCCC 1K03284T=DSM 104293T).

Abstract
Strain CECT 5091T, an aerobic, marine, Gram-reaction- and Gram-stain-negative, chemoheterotrophic bacterium was isolated from oysters harvested off the Spanish Mediterranean coast. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence placed the strain within the genus Ruegeria, in the family Rhodobacteraceae, with 16S rRNA gene similarities of 98.7, 98.7 and 98.4 % to Ruegeria conchae, Ruegeria atlanticaand Ruegeria arenilitoris, respectively. Average nucleotide identities (ANI) and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) were determined, comparing the genome sequence of CECT 5091T with those of the type strains of 12 species of the genus Ruegeria: the values obtained were always below the thresholds (95-96 % ANI, 70 % in silico DDH) used to define genomic species, proving that CECT 5091T represents a novel species of the genus Ruegeria. The strain was slightly halophilic and mesophilic, with optimum growth at 26 °C, pH 7.0 and 3 % salinity, it required sodium and magnesium ions for growth and was able to reduce nitrate to dinitrogen. Carbon sources for growth include some carbohydrates (d-ribose, d-glucose, l-rhamnose, N-acetyl-d-glucosamine) and multiple organic acids and amino acids. The major cellular fatty acid was summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c), representing 70 % of the total fatty acids. Carbon monoxide oxidation, cyanophycin synthetic ability and phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine production are predicted from genome annotation, while bacteriochlorophyll a production was absent. The DNA G+C content of the genome was 56.7 mol%. We propose the name Ruegeriadenitrificans sp. nov. and strain CECT 5091T (=5OM10T=LMG 29896T) as the type strain for the novel species.

Abstract
Two moderately halophilic marine bacterial strains of the family Rhodobacteraceae, designated ZGT108T and ZGT118T, were isolated from the brine-seawater interface at Erba Deep in the Red Sea (Saudi Arabia). Cells of both strains were aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile, and Gram-stain-negative. The sequence similarity of the 16S rRNA genes of strains ZGT108T and ZGT118T was 94.9 %. The highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of strain ZGT108T to its closest relative, Ruegeria conchae JCM 17315T, was 98.9 %, while the 16S rRNA gene of ZGT118T was most closely related to that of Ruegeria intermedia LMG 25539T (97.7 % similarity). The sizes of the draft genomes as presented here are 4 258 055 bp (strain ZGT108T) and 4 012 109 bp (strain ZGT118T), and the G+C contents of the draft genomes are 56.68 mol% (ZGT108T) and 62.94 mol% (ZGT108T). The combined physiological, biochemical, phylogenetic and genotypic data supported placement of both strains in the genus Ruegeria and indicated that the two strains are distinct from each other as well as from all other members in the genus Ruegeria. This was also confirmed by low DNA-DNA hybridization values (<43.6 %) and low ANI values (<91.8 %) between both strains and the most closely related Ruegeria species. Therefore, we propose two novel species in the genus Ruegeria to accommodate these novel isolates: Ruegeriaprofundi sp. nov. (type strain ZGT108T=JCM 19518T=ACCC 19861T) and Ruegeriamarisrubri sp. nov. (type strain ZGT118T=JCM 19519T=ACCC 19862T).

Draft genome sequence of the marine Rhodobacteraceae strain O3.65, cultivated from oil-polluted seawater of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Stand Genomic Sci 2016; 11:81. [PMID: 27777651 PMCID: PMC5064897 DOI: 10.1186/s40793-016-0201-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2016] [Accepted: 10/04/2016] [Indexed: 10/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The marine alphaproteobacterium strain O3.65 was isolated from an enrichment culture of surface seawater contaminated with weathered oil (slicks) from the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill and belongs to the ubiquitous, diverse and ecological relevant Roseobacter group within the Rhodobacteraceae. Here, we present a preliminary set of physiological features of strain O3.65 and a description and annotation of its draft genome sequence. Based on our data we suggest potential ecological roles of the isolate in the degradation of crude oil within the network of the oil-enriched microbial community. The draft genome comprises 4,852,484 bp with 4,591 protein-coding genes and 63 RNA genes. Strain O3.65 utilizes pentoses, hexoses, disaccharides and amino acids as carbon and energy source and is able to grow on several hydroxylated and substituted aromatic compounds. Based on 16S rRNA gene comparison the closest described and validated strain is Phaeobacter inhibens DSM 17395, however, strain O3.65 is lacking several phenotypic and genomic characteristics specific for the genus Phaeobacter. Phylogenomic analyses based on the whole genome support extensive genetic exchange of strain O3.65 with members of the genus Ruegeria, potentially by using the secretion system type IV. Our physiological observations are consistent with the genomic and phylogenomic analyses and support that strain O3.65 is a novel species of a new genus within the Rhodobacteraceae.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, non-spore forming, non-motile and aerobic strain, designated JB22(T), was isolated from seawater, Je-bu Island, South Korea. Strain JB22(T) was catalase and oxidase positive. Optimal growth of JB22(T) was observed at 30 °C and pH 7.0. NaCl tolerance range was 1-9 % (w/v) with an optimum of 2.0 % concentration. The phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain JB22(T) showed the highest sequence similarity to those of Pelagicola litorisediminis D1-W8(T) (95.8 %), Roseovarius litoreus GSW-M15(T) (95.2 %), Roseovarius aestuarii SMK-122(T) (95.0 %), Donghicola eburmeus SW-277(T) (95.0 %), and Roseovarius halotolerans HJ50(T) (94.9 %). It contained ubiquine-10 as the major respiratory quinone and C18:1 ω7c (69.3 %), :0 (9.9 %), C18:1 ω7c 11-methyl (9.6 %) as the major fatty acid. The polar lipid profile included phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, and unidentified aminolipid. The DNA G+C content of the strain JB22(T) was 47 mol %. Based on physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain JB22(T) should be regarded as a new genus of the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the Nitropelagi marinus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JB22(T) (= KEMB 3001-101(T) = JCM 30822(T)).

Abstract
Extensive blooms of the toxic epiphytic/benthic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf. ovata are being reported with increasing frequency and spatial distribution in temperate coastal regions including the Mediterranean. These blooms are of human and environmental health concern due to the production of isobaric palytoxin and a wide range of ovatoxins by Ostreopsis cf. ovata. Bacterial-microalgal interactions are important regulators in algal bloom dynamics and potentially toxin dynamics. This study investigated the bacterial assemblages co-occurring with O. cf. ovata (OA) and from ambient seawaters (SW) during the early and peak phases of bloom development in NW Adriatic Sea. Fractions of the bacterial assemblages co-occurring with O. cf. ovata (OA) and more closely associated to the mucilage layer (LA) embedding O. cf. ovata cells were also reported. In total, 14 bacterial phyla were detected by targeted 454 pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. The dominant bacterial phyla in the OA assemblages were Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes; while at the class level, Alphaproteobacteria were the most abundant (83 and 66%, relative abundance, early and peak bloom phases), followed by Flavobacteria (7 and 19%, early and peak phases). Actinobacteria and Cyanobacteria were of minor importance (<5% of the relative bacterial abundance each). Gammaproteobacteria showed a notably presence in OA assemblage only at the early phase of the bloom (genus Haliea, 13%). The Alphaproteobacteria were predominately composed by the genera Ruegeria, Jannaschia and Erythrobacter which represented about half of the total phylotypes' contribution of OA at both early and peak phases of the O. cf. ovata bloom, suggesting interactions between this consortium and the microalga. Moreover, the highest contribution of Ruegeria (30% of the total phylotypes) was observed at the early phase of the bloom in LA assemblage. Microbial assemblages associated with the ambient seawaters while being also dominated by Alphaproteobacteria and Flavobacteria were partially distinct from those associated with O. cf. ovata due to the presence of genera almost not retrieved in the latter assemblages.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative bacterium, strain TS-T30T, was isolated from a saline lake (Lake Tuosu) in Qaidam basin, Qinghai province, China, and its taxonomic position was determined by using a polyphasic approach. Cells were non-spore-forming rods, non-motile, 0.8–1.4 μm wide and 1.9–4.0 μm long. Strain TS-T30T was strictly heterotrophic and aerobic. Catalase- and oxidase-positive. Growth was observed in the presence of 0.5–11.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 3.0 %), and at 10–35 °C (optimum 25 °C) and pH 6.5–10.0 (optimum pH 8.5). Strain TS-T30T contained C18 : 1ω7c as the only predominant fatty acid. The major respiratory quinone was Q-10. The DNA G+C content was 62 mol% (T
m). Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain TS-T30T formed a distinct lineage that was independent of other most closely related genera: Lutimaribacter (95.2–95.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities), Poseidonocella (95.4 %), Ruegeria (92.8–94.9 %), Marivita (93.6–94.9 %), Seohaeicola (94.7 %), Sediminimonas (94.7 %), Shimia (93.9–94.7 %), Oceanicola (92.6–94.5 %) and Roseicyclus (94.5 %). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified phospholipid and an unknown aminolipid; phosphatidylcholine was not detected. These data demonstrated that strain TS-T30T represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Lacimonas salitolerans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is TS-T30T ( = CGMCC 1.12477T = NBRC 110969T).

Abstract
A Gram-negative bacterium, strain CZ-AM5T, was isolated from an aerated biological filter in a marine recirculating aquaculture system in Tianjin, China. Its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Cells of strain CZ-AM5T were non-spore-forming rods, 0.5–0.8 µm wide and 1.2–2.0 µm long, and motile by means of one or two polar or lateral flagella. Strain CZ-AM5T was strictly aerobic, heterotrophic, oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. Growth occurred at 15–40 °C (optimum, 30–35 °C), at pH 6.5–10.5 (optimum, pH 7.0–7.5) and in the presence of 0–12.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 4.0 %). The predominant fatty acid was C18 : 1ω7c (80.3 %). Ubiquinone 10 (Q-10) was the sole respiratory quinone. The polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, an unknown aminolipid, an unknown phospholipid and three unknown lipids. The DNA G+C content was 60.4 mol%. Strain CZ-AM5T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (96.5 %) to
Phaeobacter caeruleus
LMG 24369T; it exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 95.0–96.5, 95.2–96.3, 96.2, 94.6–95.7 and 94.8–95.8 % to members of the genera
Phaeobacter
,
Ruegeria
,
Citreimonas
,
Leisingera
and
Donghicola
, respectively. However, phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain CZ-AM5T did not join any of the above genera, but formed a distinct lineage in the trees. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses, strain CZ-AM5T is considered to represent a novel genus and species of the family
Rhodobacteraceae
, for which the name Cribrihabitans marinus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Cribrihabitans marinus is CZ-AM5T ( = CGMCC 1.13219T = JCM 19401T).

Abstract
A Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, non-flagellated and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated MA-E2-3(T), was isolated from an ascidian (Halocynthia roretzi) collected from the South Sea, South Korea. Strain MA-E2-3(T) was found to grow optimally at 30 °C, at pH 7.0-8.0 and in the presence of 2.0-3.0 % (w/v) NaCl. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain MA-E2-3(T) fell within the clade comprising Ruegeria species, clustering consistently with the type strain of Ruegeria halocynthiae, with which it exhibited 98.2 % sequence similarity. Sequence similarities to the type strains of the other recognized Ruegeria species were 94.7-97.7 %. Strain MA-E2-3(T) was found to contain Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18:1 ω7c as the predominant fatty acid. The major polar lipids of strain MA-E2-3(T) were identified as phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminolipid and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content of strain MA-E2-3(T) was determined to be 58.0 mol%. Mean DNA-DNA relatedness values between strain MA-E2-3(T) and the type strains of four phylogenetically closely related Ruegeria species were in the range of 13-23 %. The differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain MA-E2-3(T) is separated from other Ruegeria species. On the basis of the data presented, strain MA-E2-3(T) (=KCTC 32450(T) = CECT 8411(T)) represents a novel species of the genus Ruegeria, for which the name Ruegeria meonggei sp. nov. is proposed.

Abstract
Strain T5(T) is the type strain of the species Phaeobacter inhibens Martens et al. 2006, a secondary metabolite producing bacterium affiliated to the Roseobacter clade. Strain T5(T) was isolated from a water sample taken at the German Wadden Sea, southern North Sea. Here we describe the complete genome sequence and annotation of this bacterium with a special focus on the secondary metabolism and compare it with the genomes of the Phaeobacter inhibens strains DSM 17395 and DSM 24588 (2.10), selected because of the close phylogenetic relationship based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences of these three strains. The genome of strain T5(T) comprises 4,130,897 bp with 3.923 protein-coding genes and shows high similarities in genetic and genomic characteristics compared to P. inhibens DSM 17395 and DSM 24588 (2.10). Besides the chromosome, strain T5(T) possesses four plasmids, three of which show a high similarity to the plasmids of the strains DSM 17395 and DSM 24588 (2.10). Analysis of the fourth plasmid suggested horizontal gene transfer. Most of the genes on this plasmid are not present in the strains DSM 17395 and DSM 24588 (2.10) including a nitrous oxide reductase, which allows strain T5(T) a facultative anaerobic lifestyle. The G+C content was calculated from the genome sequence and differs significantly from the previously published value, thus warranting an emendation of the species description.

A cream-coloured, Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile moderately thermophilic, rod-to-irregular-shaped bacterium, CC-GIMAT-2T, was isolated from a coastal hot spring of Green Island (Lutao), located off Taituang, Taiwan, on marine agar 2216. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and subsequent comparisons showed that it was placed into the genus
Ruegeria
with 97.4 % similarity to
Ruegeria lacuscaerulensis
ITI-1157T, and a lower sequence similarity to all other species of the genus
Ruegeria
. Reconstruction of phylogenetic trees indicated that strain CC-GIMAT-2T clustered within the genus
Ruegeria
. Robust tree topology for the genus
Ruegeria
including the new strain was only obtained by including all
Rhodobacteraceae
type strains but not if the analysis was limited to few selected taxa. The quinone system contained exclusively ubiquinone Q-10 and the fatty acid profile consisted mainly of C18 : 1ω7c, 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c and C12 : 0 3-OH. The predominant polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified aminolipid. Other lipids were detected in moderate to minor amounts. The characteristic feature of the polyamine pattern was the predominant triamine spermidine. On the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and of the chemotaxonomic and physiological data, strain CC-GIMAT-2T represents a novel species of the genus
Ruegeria
, for which the name Ruegeria intermedia sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-GIMAT-2T ( = CCUG 59209T = LMG 25539T = CCM 7758T).

Abstract
A slightly halophilic, Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile rod, designated TW15T, was isolated from an ark clam in South Korea. Growth occurred at 10–37 °C, with 1–5 % (w/v) NaCl and at pH 7.0–10.0. Optimal growth occurred at 25–30 °C, with 2 % (w/v) NaCl and at pH 8.0. Strain TW15T exhibited both oxidase and catalase activities. The major fatty acids of strain TW15T were summed feature 8 (consisting of C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c) and 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-10 (Q-10). The polar lipids of strain TW15T comprised phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid, an unidentified aminolipid and five unidentified lipids. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain TW15T was most closely related to
Ruegeria lacuscaerulensis
DSM 11314T (98.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). DNA–DNA relatedness with closely related strains was <52±3 %. The DNA G+C content was 55.7 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic data, strain TW15T represents a novel species of the genus
Ruegeria
, for which the name Ruegeria conchae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TW15T ( = KACC 15115T = JCM 17315T).

Abstract
A Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated MA1-6T, was isolated from a sea squirt (Halocynthia roretzi) collected from the South Sea, Korea, and was characterized to determine its taxonomic position. Strain MA1-6T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0, at 30 °C and in the presence of 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain MA1-6T fell within the clade comprising
Ruegeria
species and exhibited 95.3–96.5 % similarity to the type strains of recognized
Ruegeria
species. Strain MA1-6T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1ω7c as the major fatty acid, which is consistent with data for
Ruegeria
species. The major polar lipids detected in strain MA1-6T and
Ruegeria atlantica
KCTC 12424T were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified aminolipid and an unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content of strain MA1-6T was 58.6 mol%. Differential phenotypic properties, together with phylogenetic distinctiveness, demonstrated that strain MA1-6T can be distinguished from recognized
Ruegeria
species. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain MA1-6T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus
Ruegeria
, for which the name Ruegeria halocynthiae sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is MA1-6T ( = KCTC 23463T = CCUG 60744T).
