An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, saffron-pigmented, non-motile bacterial strain KMM 9545(T), was isolated from a marine sand sediment sample obtained from the Sea of Japan seashore and characterized in a taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain KMM 9545(T) showed a high level of similarity to species of the genus Gaetbulibacter (95.1-96.2%), the type strains of species of the genus Tamlana (94.9-96.1%) and members of the genus Algibacter (94.8-96.1%). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences positioned strain KMM 9545(T) as a distinct lineage in the cluster comprising species of the genus Tamlana. Strain KMM 9545(T) grew at temperatures between 5-36 °C and in the presence of 2-4% (w/v) NaCl. It contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C(15 : 0), iso-C(15 : 1), iso-C(17 : 1) 3-OH, iso-C(15 : 0) 3-OH and iso-C(15 : 0) 2-OH as the major fatty acids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 31.3 mol%. On the basis of the phenotypic characteristics and phylogenetic distance, it can be concluded that strain KMM 9545(T) represents a novel species of the genus Tamlana, for which the name Tamlana sedimentorum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KMM 9545(T) ( = NRIC 0921(T) = JCM 19808(T)).
sp. KMM 8419 (=CB1-14) is a Gram-negative bacterium isolated from a food-net mucus sample of marine polychaete collected in the Sea of Japan. Here, we report the structure and biosynthetic gene cluster of the capsular polysaccharide (CPS) from strain KMM 8419.
Two separate bacterial strains, PMTSA4 and PMR2A8, were isolated from the rhizospheric soils of bell pepper plants grown in a plant nursery. These strains are Gram-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped and grow in aerobic conditions. They exhibit a positive reaction for catalase activity but negative results for oxidase activity.

Background: The abundance and diversity of intestinal commensal bacteria influence systemic immunity with impact on disease susceptibility and severity. For example, loss of short chain fatty acid (SCFA)-fermenting bacteria in early life (humans and mice) is associated with enhanced type 2 immune responses in peripheral tissues including the lung.
Objective: Our goal was to reveal the microbiome-dependent cellular and molecular mechanisms driving enhanced susceptibility to type 2 allergic lung disease.

A novel Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile bacterium with a single polar or subpolar flagellum, designated strain H3510, was isolated from marine alga collected on sea shore of Yantai, PR China. The organism grew optimally at 28 °C and pH 7.0 and in presence of 3.
A Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile, yellow-pigmented bacterium, KMM 9835, was isolated from the sediment sample obtained from the Amur Bay of the Sea of Japan seashore, Russia. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene and whole genome sequences positioned the novel strain KMM 9835 in the genus as a separate line sharing the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 96.6% and 96.
