gen. nov., sp. nov., a halophilic actinobacterium isolated from saline soil of Xinjiang, Northwest of China.

A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, moderate halophilic actinobacterium, designated strain YIM 96095, was isolated from a saline soil sample collected from Aiding Lake, Xinjiang, North-western China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the isolate belonged to the family , formed a distinct subclade, and was most closely related to DSM 102030 and DSM 45697 with sequence identity values of 95.8 and 95.

SPASCER: spatial transcriptomics annotation at single-cell resolution.

In recent years, the explosive growth of spatial technologies has enabled the characterization of spatial heterogeneity of tissue architectures. Compared to traditional sequencing, spatial transcriptomics reserves the spatial information of each captured location and provides novel insights into diverse spatially related biological contexts. Even though two spatial transcriptomics databases exist, they provide limited analytical information.

Dyadobacter diqingensis sp. nov., isolated from Baima snow mountain of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan province, south-west China.

A Gram-negative, aerobic, nonmotile, rod-shaped and yellow-pigment-producing bacteria was isolated from Baima snow mountain of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan province, south-west China and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity analysis showed that strain YIM B04101 was closely related to the type strain of Dyadobacter koreensis DSM 19938 (97.81%) and Dyadobacter frigoris AR-3-8 (97.

Halomonas faecis sp. nov., a halophilic bacterium isolated from human faeces.

A novel moderately halophilic, Gram-stain-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, strictly aerobic, non-sporulating, non-motile rod, designated strain JSM 104105, was isolated from human faeces. Strain JSM 104105 was able to grow with 0.5-18% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 4-9%), at pH 6-10.

Vallicoccus soli gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel actinobacterium isolated from soil, and description of Vallicoccaceae fam. nov., Motilibacterales ord. nov.

A novel Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, cocci-shaped actinobacterium, designated YIM 75000, was isolated from a soil sample collected from a dry-hot river valley in Yunnan Province, P.R. China.

sp. nov., isolated from a salt lake in China.

A novel bacterium, XHU 5135, belonging to the genus , was isolated from a salt lake sample collected in Xinjiang Province, north-west PR China. The isolate was Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile. The strain was catalase-positive and oxidase-negative.

Bailinhaonella thermotolerans gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the order Streptosporangiales.

A Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile actinobacterium, designated YIM 75507, that was isolated from a soil sample collected from a dry-hot valley, was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. The isolate formed branched hyphae and no fragmentation was found. Clustered spore chains were borne from aerial mycelium.

Phytoactinopolyspora halophila sp. nov., a halophilic actinomycete isolated from a saline soil.

A novel halophilic actinobacterial strain, designated YIM 96934, was isolated from a soil sample collected from the edge of a saline lake in Xinjiang, north-west China. The taxonomic position of the strain was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Cells of the strain were aerobic and Gram-stain-positive.
