- Two cauliform bacteria (CM243T and CM251) isolated by J. Poindexter from the Atlantic Ocean were characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, TaqI restriction fragment length polymorphism and single-strand conformation polymorphism analyses of the internally transcribed 16S-23S rDNA spacer (ITS1) region, analysis of fatty acids from cellular lipids, mass spectrometry of polar lipids and physiological properties. The two strains showed very low diversity of polar lipids with diacyl-sulfoquinovosyl glycerols as the predominant lipids. The two bacterial strains were observed to have nearly identical 16S rRNA gene sequences and could not be differentiated by their ITS1 regions. The isolates differed from species of the genus Maricaulis by their 16S rRNA gene sequences, polar lipids and fatty acid patterns. On the basis of the genotypic analyses and estimations of phylogenetic similarities, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, it is proposed that the isolates represent a new genus and species, for which the name Woodsholea maritima gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain CM243T=VKM B-1512T=LMG 21817T) is proposed.

- Phenotypic and phylogenetic studies were performed on three isolates of an unknown Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped organism isolated from raw sewage. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that these strains were members of the Bergeyella–Chryseobacterium–Riemerella branch of the family Flavobacteriaceae. The unknown bacterium was readily distinguished from reference strains by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and biochemical tests. The organism contained menaquinone MK-6 as the predominant respiratory quinone and had a DNA G+C content of 31 mol%. A most probable number-PCR approach was developed to detect, and estimate the numbers of, this organism. Untreated wastewater from one plant yielded an estimated count of 1.4×105 cells ml−1, and untreated wastewater from a second plant yielded an estimated count of 1.4×104 cells ml−1. Signal was not detected from treated effluent or from human stool specimens. On the basis of the results of the study presented, it is proposed that the unknown bacterium be classified in a novel genus Cloacibacterium, as Cloacibacterium normanense gen. nov., sp. nov., which is also the type species. The type strain of Cloacibacterium normanense is strain NRS1T (=CCUG 46293T=CIP 108613T=ATCC BAA-825T=DSM 15886T).

- A novel Gram-staining-negative, chemoorganotrophic, moderately halophilic, strictly aerobic bacterium, strain MED121(T), was isolated from a seawater sample collected at the Blanes Bay Microbial Observatory in the north-western Mediterranean Sea. Analysis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence, retrieved from the whole-genome sequence, showed that this bacterium was most closely related to Marinomonas dokdonensis and other Marinomonas species (96.3 and 93.3-95.7% sequence similarities, respectively), within the family Oceanospirillaceae. Strain MED121(T) was included into a whole-genome sequencing study and, subsequently, it was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. It was found to be oxidase and catalase positive, its cells are cocci to short rods, it does not ferment carbohydrates and does not reduce nitrate to nitrite or gas and it requires at least 2.5% (w/v) marine salts and tolerates up to 7% (w/v) salts. Its major cellular fatty acids in order of abundance are C-16:1 omega 7c/C-16:1 omega 6c,C-18:1 omega 7c(1), C-16:0 and C-10:0 3-OH. Its genome had an approximate length of 5.1 million bases and a DNA G+C content equal to 40.9 mol%. Analysis of the annotated genes reveals the capacity for the synthesis of ubiquinone 8 (O8) and the polar lipids phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolannine, in agreement with other members of the genus. All the data collected supported the creation of a novel species to accommodate this bacterium, for which the name Marinomonas blandensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MED121(T) (=CECT 7076(T)=LMG 29722(T)).

The best of both worlds: a proposal for further integration of Candidatus names into the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes

- The naming of prokaryotes is governed by the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP) and partially by the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants (ICN). Such codes must be able to determine names of taxa in a universal and unambiguous manner, thus serving as a common language across different fields and activities. This unity is undermined when a new code of nomenclature emerges that overlaps in scope with an established, time-tested code and uses the same format of names but assigns different nomenclatural status values to the names. The resulting nomenclatural confusion is not beneficial to the wider scientific community. Such ambiguity is expected to result from the establishment of the ‘Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes Described from DNA Sequence Data’ (‘SeqCode’), which is in general and specific conflict with the ICNP and the ICN. Shortcomings in the interpretation of the ICNP may have exacerbated the incompatibility between the codes. It is reiterated as to why proposals to accept sequences as nomenclatural types of species and subspecies with validly published names, now implemented in the SeqCode, have not been implemented by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP), which oversees the ICNP. The absence of certain regulations from the ICNP for the naming of as yet uncultivated prokaryotes is an acceptable scientific argument, although it does not justify the establishment of a separate code. Moreover, the proposals rejected by the ICSP are unnecessary to adequately regulate the naming of uncultivated prokaryotes. To provide a better service to the wider scientific community, an alternative proposal to emend the ICNP is presented, which would result in Candidatus names being regulated analogously to validly published names. This proposal is fully consistent with previous ICSP decisions, preserves the essential unity of nomenclature and avoids the expected nomenclatural confusion.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Six representatives of a luminous bacterium commonly found in association with deep, cold-dwelling marine fishes were isolated from the light organs and skin of different fish species. These bacteria were Gram-negative, catalase-positive, and weakly oxidase-positive or oxidase-negative. Morphologically, cells of these strains were coccoid or coccoid-rods, occurring singly or in pairs, and motile by means of polar flagellation. After growth on seawater-based agar medium at 22 degrees C for 18 h, colonies were small, round and white, with an intense cerulean blue luminescence. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity placed these bacteria in the genus Photobacterium. Phylogenetic analysis based on seven housekeeping gene sequences (16S rRNA gene, gapA, gyrB, pyrH, recA, rpoA and rpoD), seven gene sequences of the lux operon (luxC, luxD, luxA, luxB, luxF, luxE and luxG) and four gene sequences of the rib operon (ribE, ribB, ribH and ribA), resolved the six strains as members of the genus Photobacterium and as a clade distinct from other species of Photobacterium. These strains were most closely related to Photobacterium phosphoreum and Photobacterium iliopiscarium. DNA-DNA hybridization values between the designated type strain, Photobacterium kishitanii pjapo.1.1(T), and P. phosphoreum LMG 4233(T), P. iliopiscarium LMG 19543(T) and Photobacterium indicum LMG 22857(T) were 51, 43 and 19 %, respectively. In AFLP analysis, the six strains clustered together, forming a group distinct from other analysed species. The fatty acid C(17 : 0) cyclo was present in these bacteria, but not in P. phosphoreum, P. iliopiscarium or P. indicum. A combination of biochemical tests (arginine dihydrolase and lysine decarboxylase) differentiates these strains from P. phosphoreum and P. indicum. The DNA G+C content of P. kishitanii pjapo.1.1(T) is 40.2 %, and the genome size is approximately 4.2 Mbp, in the form of two circular chromosomes. These strains represent a novel species, for which the name Photobacterium kishitanii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain, pjapo.1.1(T) (=ATCC BAA-1194(T)=LMG 23890(T)), is a luminous symbiont isolated from the light organ of the deep-water fish Physiculus japonicus.

- An actinobacterial strain, CMB-FB, was isolated from surface-sterilized root nodules of a Coriaria intermedia plant growing along Halsema Highway in the province of Benguet (Luzon, Philippines). The 16S rRNA gene sequence of CMB-FB showed high sequence similarity to those of the type strains of Streptomyces rishiriensis (99.4 %), Streptomyces humidus (99.1 %), Streptomyces cacaoi subsp. asoensis (99.0 %), and Streptomyces phaeofaciens (98.6 %). The major menaquinones of CMB-FB were composed of MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8), and there was a minor contribution of MK-9(H10). The polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, unidentified aminolipids and phospholipids, a glycophospholipid and four unidentified lipids. The diagnostic diamino acid of the peptidoglycan was meso-diaminopimelic acid. The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The results of physiological analysis indicated that CMB-FB was mesophilic. The results of phylogenetic, genome-genome distance calculation and average nucleotide identity analysis indicated that the isolated strain represents the type strain of a novel species. On the basis of these results, strain CMB-FB (=DSM 112754T=LMG 32457T) is proposed as the type strain of the novel species Streptomyces coriariae sp. nov.

- The original description of Arthrobacter nasiphocae M597/99/10(T) demonstrated that it is distantly related to the type species of the genus Arthrobacter, Arthrobacter globiformis, and that this phylogenetic relationship is reflected by the distinct peptidoglycan type [Lys-Ala(2)-Gly(2-3)-Ala(Gly)] and the features of the quinone system, which is composed of menaquinones MK-9(H-2) and MK-8(H-2). Here, we report a re-evaluation of the taxonomic status of A. nasiphocae. Phylogenetically, it was observed to be only distantly related to the genus Arthrobacter and to the type species of related genera. Re-analysis confirmed the quinone system menaquinones MK-9(H-2) and MK-8(H-2) in A. nasiphocae. Analysis of cell polar lipids showed a profile consisting of the predominant lipids diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, dimannosylglyceride, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified aminophosphoglycolipid, and several minor unidentified lipids. This profile clearly is different from that of Arthrobacter species. The cell fatty acid profile also showed characteristics that distinguished A. nasiphocae from Arthrobacter species. The phylogenetic distance of A. nasiphocae from any type species of genera within the family Micrococcaceae and the distinct chemotaxonomic traits warrant the reclassification of A. nasiphocae within a novel genus, for which we propose the name Falsarthrobacter nasiphocae gen. nov., comb. nov. The type strain is M597/99/10(T) (=CCUG 42953(T)=CIP 107054(T)=DSM 13988(T)=JCM 11677(T)).

- A novel hyperthermophilic, piezophilic, anaerobic archaeon, designated NCB100(T), was isolated from a hydrothermal vent flange fragment collected in the Guaymas basin at the hydrothermal vent site named 'Rebecca's Roost' at a depth of 1997 m. Enrichment and isolation were performed at 100 degrees C under atmospheric pressure. Cells of strain NCB100(T) were highly motile, irregular cocci with a diameter of -1 mu m. Growth was recorded at temperatures between 70 and 112 degrees C (optimum 105 degrees C) and hydrostatic pressures of 0.1-80 MPa (optimum 40-50 MPa). Growth was observed at pH 3.5-8.5 (optimum pH 7) and with 1.5-7% NaCl (optimum at 2.5-3 %). Strain NCB100(T) was a strictly anaerobic chemo-organoheterotroph and grew on complex proteinaceous substrates such as yeast extract, peptone and tryptone, as well as on glycogen and starch. Elemental sulfur was required for growth and was reduced to hydrogen sulfide. The fermentation products from complex proteinaceous substrates were CO2 and H-2. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 41.3 %. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain NCB100(T) belongs to the genus Pyrococcus, showing 99% similarity with the other described species of the genus Pyrococcus. On the basis of physiological characteristics, DNA G+C content, similarity level between ribosomal proteins and an average nucleotide identity value of 79 %, strain NCB100(T) represents a novel species for which the name Pyrococcus kukulkanii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NCB100(T) (=DSM 101590(T) =Souchotheque de Bretagne BG1337(T)).

- The taxonomic status of six strains of Acinetobacter obtained from meat samples, collected from supermarkets in Porto, Por-tugal, was investigated using polyphasic analysis. Partial rpoB sequence similarities lower than 95 % to other Acinetobacter species with validly published names led to the hypothesis that these strains represented novel species. This was confirmed based on comparative multilocus sequence analysis, which included the gyrB, recA and 16S rRNA genes, revealing that these strains represented two coherent lineages that were distinct from each other and from all known species. The names Acine-tobacter portensis sp. nov. (comprising four strains) and Acinetobacter guerrae sp. nov. (comprising two strains) are proposed for these novel species. The species status of these two groups was confirmed by low (below 95 %) whole-genome sequence average nucleotide identity values and low (below 70 %) digital DNA–DNA hybridization similarities between the whole-genome sequences of the proposed type strains of each novel species and the representatives of the known Acinetobacter species. Phylogenomic treeing from core genome analysis supported these results. The coherence of each new species lineage was supported by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry differentiation of the species at the protein level, by cellular fatty acid profiles, and by unique and differential combinations of metabolic and physiological properties shared by each novel species. The type strain of A. portensis sp. nov. is AC 877T (=CCUG 68672T=CCM 8789T) and the type strain of A. guerrae sp. nov. is AC 1271T (=CCUG 68674T=CCM 8791T). © 2020 The Authors.
