Methylobacterium segetis sp. nov., a novel member of the family Methylobacteriaceae isolated from soil on Jeju Island.

A bacterial strain, 17J42-1, was isolated from a soil sample collected on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. Colonies grown on R2A agar were pink in color, and cells were Gram-stain negative, short and rod-shaped. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences identified this strain as a member of the genus Methylobacterium in the family Methylobacteriaceae, with high levels of 16S rRNA sequence similarity shared with Methylobacterium oxalidis 35a (98.

Lysobacter terrigena sp. nov., isolated from a Korean soil sample.

A bacterial strain isolated from a soil collected in Jeju Island, designated as 17J7-1, was Gram-negative, rod-shaped, yellow colored, and motile by gliding. This strain was able to grow at temperature range from 10 to 42 °C, pH 7-9, and tolerated up to 1% NaCl. Analysis of 16S rRNA sequence identified strain 17J7-1 as a member of the genus Lysobacter with close sequence similarity with Lysobacter mobilis 9NM-14 (97.

Lysobacter segetis sp. nov., Isolated from Soil.

A Gram-negative, aerobic, motile by gliding, rod-shaped bacterium, strain 17J68-2, was isolated from a soil sample taken from Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. The isolate displayed high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the members of the genus Lysobacter in the family Lysobacteraceae, with Lysobacter humi FJY8 (98.4% similarity), Lysobacter xinjiangensis RCML-52 (98.

Spirosoma flavus sp. nov., a novel bacterium from soil of Jeju Island.

A novel, Gram-staining negative, yellow pigmented bacterial strain, designated 15J11-2, was isolated from soil sample on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. The strain was subjected to a taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach. The strain was able to grow at temperature range from 10°C to 30°C, pH 7-8, and in presence of 0-1% (w/v) NaCl.

Spirosoma harenae sp. nov., a Bacterium Isolated from a Sandy Beach.

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, aerobic bacterium, designated 15J8-9, was isolated from a sandy beach in Jeju Island, South Korea. The isolate was able to grow between 10 and 30 °C, pH 5-8, and in presence of 0-1% (w/v) NaCl. Based on 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis, the novel strain was closely related to members of the genus Spirosoma (96.

Spirosoma daeguensis sp. nov., isolated from beach soil.

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, aerobic bacterium, designated 15J9-6, was isolated from beach soil on Jeju Island, South Korea. Strain 15J9-6, grew at 10-30°C (optimum growth at 25°C) and pH 7-8 (optimum growth at pH 7) on R2A, NA, and TSA agar. Phylogenetically, the strain was closely related to members of the genus Spirosoma (92.

Spirosoma gilvum sp. nov., Isolated from Beach Soil.

A Gram-reaction-negative, nonmotile, rod-shaped, aerobic bacterial strain, designated 15J10-9T5, was isolated from beach soil on Jeju Island, South Korea, and was characterized taxonomically using a polyphasic approach. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolate belonged to the family Cytophagaceae in the phylum Bacteroidetes, and was most closely related to Spirosoma aerolatum PR1012k (96.1%) and Spirosoma panaciterrae DSM 21099 (95.

Adhaeribacter terrae sp. nov., a novel bacterium isolated from soil.

Strain HY02T was isolated from a soil sample collected at Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea. Cells of this strain were observed to be Gram-stain-negative, short and rod-shaped. Colonies were red in colour.
