An unknown Gram-positive, catalase-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming, coccus-shaped bacterium originating from sediment was characterized using phenotypic, molecular chemical and molecular phylogenetic methods. Chemical studies revealed the presence of a cell-wall murein based on LL-diaminopimelic acid (type LL-Dpm-glycine(1)), a complex mixture of saturated, monounsaturated and iso- and anteiso-methyl-branched, non-hydroxylated, long-chain cellular fatty acids and tetrahydrogenated menaquinones with eight isoprene units [MK-8(H(4))] as the major respiratory lipoquinone. This combination of characteristics somewhat resembled members of the suborder Micrococcineae, but did not correspond to any currently described species. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing confirmed that the unidentified coccus-shaped organism is a member of the Actinobacteria and represents a hitherto-unknown subline related to, albeit different from, a number of taxa including Intrasporangium, Janibacter, Terrabacter, Terracoccus and Ornithinicoccus. Based on phenotypic and phylogenetic considerations, it is proposed that the unknown bacterium originating from lake sediment be classified as a new genus and species, Arsenicicoccus bolidensis gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain CCUG 47306(T)=DSM 15745(T)).

sp. nov., isolated from the blood of a pediatric gastroenteritis patient.

A Gram-stain-positive coccus was isolated from the blood of a paediatric patient suffering from gastroenteritis. The taxonomic position of this catalase-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming facultative anaerobe designated as strain MKL-02 was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Colonies grown on tryptic soy agar with 10 % sheep blood were circular, creamy yellow, and convex.

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is an easily accessible and valuable tool in clinical microbiology, which can be used for identifying novel and rare species. We isolated gram-positive cocci from the blood of a pediatric patient, which could not be phenotypically identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) (BioMérieux, Marcy-l'Étoile, France). We could not identify the isolate to the species level using 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequencing.

Dermatophilus-like bacteria were observed in histological examinations of samples of diseased foot skin from greater flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus) living in zoological gardens in Switzerland. When grown on TSA-SB containing polymyxin B, the bacteria isolated from these skin samples formed hyphae, as is typical for Dermatophilus congolensis, but these bacteria were non-haemolytic. The closest relatives based on 16S rRNA gene sequences were the two members of the genus Arsenicicoccus, Arsenicicoccus bolidensis and Arsenicicoccus piscis.

A Gram-positive, non-spore-forming actinobacterium (01-Gi-040(T)) isolated from an indoor wall was studied to examine its taxonomic position. The isolate formed a very rudimentary substrate-mycelium that fragmented into rod-shaped to coccoid cells. On the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, strain 01-Gi-040(T) was shown to belong to the genus Ornithinimicrobium closely related to Ornithinimicrobium kibberense K22-20(T) (97.

A Gram-positive actinobacterium, strain IV-75(T), was isolated by using R2A agar from the ultrapure water system of a power plant in Hungary. The strain exhibited a rod-coccus cell cycle, and was strictly aerobic, non-motile, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain IV-75(T) belonged to the suborder Micrococcineae and clustered with members of the family Intrasporangiaceae.
