Amycolatopsis anabasis
Abstract
A novel endophytic actinobacterium, designated strain EGI 650086T, was isolated from the roots of Anabasis elatior (C.A.Mey.) Schischk. collected in Xinjiang, north-west China. The taxonomic position of the strain was investigated using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Growth occurred at 15–40 °C, pH 6.0–8.0 and in the presence of 0–6 % NaCl (w/v). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence and concatenation of 22 protein marker genes revealed that strain EGI 650086T formed a monophyl

Zhaonella formicivorans gen. nov., sp. nov., an anaerobic formate-utilizing bacterium isolated from Shengli oilfield, and proposal of four novel families and Moorellales ord. nov. in the phylum Firmicutes

Abstract
A novel obligately anaerobic, thermophilic and formate-utilizing bacterium K32T was isolated from Shengli oilfield of China. Cells were straight rods (0.4–0.8 µm × 2.5–8.0 µm), Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming and slightly motile. Optimum growth occurred with pH of 7 and 0.5 g l–1 NaCl under temperature of 55–60 °C. Nitrate could be reduced into nitrite, syntrophic formate oxidation to methane and carbon dioxide occurred when co-culturing strain K32T and

Abstract
In prokaryotic taxonomy, a set of criteria is commonly used to delineate species. These criteria are generally based on cohesion at the phylogenetic, phenotypic and genomic levels. One such criterion shown to have promise in the genomic era is average nucleotide identity (ANI), which provides an average measure of similarity across homologous regions shared by a pair of genomes. However, despite the popularity and relative ease of using this metric, ANI has undergone numerous refinements, with v

Amycolatopsis acidicola sp. nov., isolated from peat swamp forest soil

Amycolatopsis acidicola
Abstract
A novel actinobacterial strain, designated K81G1T, was isolated from a soil sample collected in Kantulee peat swamp forest, Surat Thani Province, Thailand, and its taxonomic position was determined using a polyphasic approach. Optimal growth of strain K81G1T occurred at 28–30 °C, at pH 5.0–6.0 and without NaCl. Strain K81G1T had cell-wall chemotype IV (meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid, and arabinose and galactose as diagnostic sugars) and phospholipid pattern type II, char

Absicoccus porci gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Erysipelotrichaceae isolated from pig faeces

“Absicoccus intestinalis”
Abstract
An obligately anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive and coccus-shaped bacterium, designated strain YH-panp20T, was isolated from pig faeces. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated that the isolate belongs to the family Erysipelotrichaceae , and is most closely related to Catenisphaera adipataccumulans KC
