sp. nov., a novel actinobacterium isolated from flowerpot soil.

Strain CJN36-1N, a Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, strictly aerobic and short rod-shaped bacterium, was isolated from flowerpot soil sampled in the Jeonju region of the Republic of Korea. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and the resulting phylogenetic tree, the strain belonged to the genus . Strain CJN36-1N contained a chromosome of 3.

sp. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from saltern soil.

Three bacterial strains, designated SSBR10-3, SSTM10-2 and SSHM10-5, were isolated from saltern soil sampled in Jeollanam-do, Republic of Korea. Cells were aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, flagellated and rod-shaped. The strains grew optimally at 28°C and at pH 7.

sp. nov. and sp. nov., halotolerant bacteria isolated from a saltern environment.

Two aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, spore-forming motile bacterial strains, designated SSPM10-3 and SSWR10-1, were isolated from salterns in Jeollanam province of South Korea. Both strains were halotolerant and grew well in 5 % NaCl but not in 20 and 25% NaCl, respectively. Optimal growth was observed with 5 % NaCl, at 30 °C and at pH 7.

sp. nov., a novel actinobacterium isolated from gut of larvae of .

A novel actinobacterium strain, designated CFWR-12, was isolated from the larval gut of grown at the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Wanju-gun, Republic of Korea, and its taxonomic position was evaluated. Strain CFWR-12 was aerobic, Gram-stain-positive and non-motile. Growth occurred at 10-40 °C, pH 6.

sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from rhizospheres of onion and garlic, respectively.

Three bacterial strains, H21R-40 and H21R-36 from garlic () and H25R-14 from onion (), were isolated from plant rhizospheres sampled in the Republic of Korea. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed the highest sequence similarity of strain H21R-40 to subsp. CBX151 (97.
