Bacillus solimangrovi sp. nov., isolated from mangrove soil.

Two novel bacterial strains, GH2-4T and GH2-5, were isolated from mangrove soil near the seashore of Weno island in Chuuk state, Micronesia, and were characterized by a polyphasic approach. The two strains were strictly aerobic, Gram-staining-positive, motile, endospore-forming rods that were catalase- and oxidase-positive. Colonies were circular, convex, stringy and transparent yellowish (GH2-4T) or opaque whitish (GH2-5).

Sunxiuqinia dokdonensis sp. nov., isolated from deep sub-seafloor sediment.

A novel facultatively anaerobic strain DH1(T) was isolated from deep sub-seafloor sediment at a depth of 900 m below the seafloor off Seo-do (the west part of Dokdo Island) in the East Sea of the Republic of Korea. The new strain was characterized using polyphasic approaches. The isolate was Gram-stain-negative, motile by gliding, non-spore-forming rods, oxidase-negative, and catalase-positive; and formed colonies of orange-red color.

Methanobrevibacter boviskoreani sp. nov., isolated from the rumen of Korean native cattle.

Three strictly anaerobic, methanogenic strains JH1(T), JH4 and JH8 were isolated from rumen of the Korean native cattle (HanWoo; Bos taurus coreanae) in South Korea. The colonies were circular, opaque, and slightly yellowish. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene and mcrA (encoding α subunit of methyl-coenzyme M reductase) sequences confirmed the affiliation of the novel strains with the Methanobacteriales, and Methanobrevibacter wolinii SH(T) was the most closely related species.

Genome sequence of Methanobrevibacter sp. strain jh1, isolated from rumen of Korean native cattle.

The sp. strain JH1 was isolated from the rumen of Korean native cattle (HanWoo; ). Here, we provide a 2.

Oscillibacter ruminantium sp. nov., isolated from the rumen of Korean native cattle.

A strictly anaerobic, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming bacterium, designated GH1(T), was isolated from the rumen of Korean native cattle (HanWoo). Cells were straight to slightly curved rods (2.0-4.
