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.
