Isolation of Spirosoma foliorum sp. nov. from the fallen leaf of Acer palmatum by a novel cultivation technique.

In the effort of isolating novel microbial species, the strain PL0132 was isolated from a fallen leaf under fresh water at a stream, which glided when grown on a tap water medium (without nutrients). The strain was determined to be Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, and rod-shaped, which grew optimally at 25 °C, pH 6-7, and the strain tolerates 1% (w/v) NaCl concentration. The complete genome of strain PL0132 comprises one contig with a sequencing depth of 76×, consisting of 8,853,064 base pairs and the genomic DNA G + C content was 46.

Three marine species of the genus Fulvivirga, rich sources of carbohydrate-active enzymes degrading alginate, chitin, laminarin, starch, and xylan.

Bacteroidota is a group of marine polysaccharide degraders, which play a crucial role in the carbon cycle in the marine ecosystems. In this study, three novel gliding strains, designated as SS9-22, W9P-11, and SW1-E11, isolated from algae and decaying wood were proposed to represent three novel species of the genus Fulvivirga. We identified a large number of genes encoding for carbohydrate-active enzymes, which potentially participate in polysaccharide degradation, based on whole genome sequencing.

sp. nov., a novel gut bacterium isolated from a Yellow Sea oyster.

A Gram-stain-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, facultative anaerobic motile bacterium, designated strain OG9-811, was isolated from the gut of an oyster collected in the Yellow Sea, Republic of Korea. The strain grew at 10-37 °C, pH 6.0-9.

sp. nov., isolated from red alga.

A Gram-stain-negative and rod-shaped bacterial strain (WSW3-B6) was isolated from red alga collected from the West Sea, Republic of Korea. Cells of strain WSW3-B6 were non-motile, aerobic and produced slightly yellow and mucoid colonies on marine agar. The strain grew optimally at 23-30 °C, with 0.

sp. nov., isolated from the gut of the larva of .

A Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, yellow-pigmented, non-motile, non-flagellated, facultative anaerobic and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated BI34, was isolated from the gut of the larva of . Strain BI34 grew at 15-40 °C (optimum, 37 °C), at pH 6.5-9.

Complete genome sequence of Bacillus ciccensis 5L6, a new species isolated from maize (Zea mays L.) seeds with anti-fungal activity.

Maize is a crop grown worldwide. Bacillus ciccensis 5L6 was isolated from maize (Zea mays L., Jingke968) seeds and was a new species of Bacillus with potential anti-fungal activity.
