sp. nov., isolated from a fish pond.

Bacterial strain NST-14, isolated from a freshwater fish pond in Taiwan, was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomy approach. The strain was Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped and formed pink colonies. Optimal growth occurred at 30 °C, pH 7 and in the absence of NaCl.

sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from freshwater habitats.

Two bacterial strains, designated HSP-20 and CCP-1, isolated from freshwater habitats in Taiwan, were characterized by polyphasic taxonomy. Both strains were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped. Cells of strains HSP-20 and CCP-1 formed pink and dark red coloured colonies, respectively.

sp. nov. and sp. nov., two new species of bacteria belonging to the family .

Two Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile bacteria, designated KMS-5 and CYK-10, were isolated from freshwater environments. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity results indicated that these two novel strains belong to the family . Strain KMS-5 is closely related to species within the genus (96.

sp. nov., isolated from a freshwater river, reclassification of as comb. nov., and emended description of the genus .

A novel Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, ovoid to rod-shaped bacterium, designated NBD-18, was isolated from a freshwater river in Taiwan. Optimal growth occurred at 30 °C, at pH 6 and in the absence of NaCl. The predominant fatty acids of strain NBD-18 were C, summed feature 3 (C 7 and/or C 6), C cyclo and summed feature 8 (C 7 and/or C 6).

sp. nov., isolated from a freshwater pond.

A novel bacterial strain, designated CSW-10, isolated from a freshwater pond in Taiwan, was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped and formed yellow-coloured colonies. Optimal growth occurred at 30 °C, pH 7, and in the absence of NaCl.

sp. nov., isolated from a fish pond.

Bacterial strain NST-5, isolated from a fish pond in Taiwan, was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomy approach. Results of phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and coding sequences of 92 protein clusters indicated that strain NST-5 formed a phylogenetic lineage in the genus . Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain NST-5 showed the highest similarity to DK69 (94.

sp. nov., isolated from irrigation water.

Bacterial strain TWA-58, isolated from irrigation water in Taiwan, was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomy approach. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and coding sequences of 92 protein clusters indicated that strain TWA-58 formed a phylogenetic lineage in the genus of the family . Strain TWA-58 was most closely related to NVT with a 96.
