Published: November 2017

With the description of the genus Sphingorhabdus, the taxonomic position of Sphingopyxis contaminans was re-evaluated based on analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences and phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics. The results revealed that Sphingopyxis contaminans is clearly a member of the genus Sphingorhabdus and we proposed that Sphingopyxis contaminans(Subhash Y, Sasikala C, Ramana CV. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014;64:2238-2243) should be reclassified as Sphingorhabduscontaminans comb. nov. An emended description of the genus Sphingorhabdus is also provided.

In this study, real marine sediments polluted by petroleum compounds were treated by means of a bioslurry pilot scale reactor. The treatment performance was evaluated by measuring the removal of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH), coupled to further analyses required to understand the mechanisms involved in the biodegradation process. The maximum TPH-removal efficiency reached 86 % at the end of experiments.

Two Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile bacteria, designated IMCC1753 and IMCC26285, were isolated from a shallow eutrophic pond and a deep oligotrophic lake, respectively. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the two strains shared 99.8 % sequence similarity and were most closely related to JC216(98.

During a phylogenetic analysis of and its closely related genera in the family , we found that the genus and the species might not be properly assigned in the taxonomy. Phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characterizations clearly showed that the genus should be reclassified into two genera (Clade I and Clade II), for which the original genus name, , is proposed to be retained only for Clade I, and a new genus named as gen. nov.

A Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented, aerobic bacterial strain, designated LPB0140, was isolated from sea water. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity analysis demonstrated that the closest relative of the isolate is (96.4 %), but the new isolate formed an independent phyletic line within the genus Its genome is composed of a circular chromosome of 2.
