Abstract
Three Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated LJC-15T, NGA-4T and QZ2-6-4T, were isolated from the rhizosphere soils of Capsicum, Cucurbita and Solanum melongena, respectively, in Yunnan Province, China. Phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses placed the three strains within the genus Agromyces but distinguished them from recognized species. All ANI and dDDH values between the novel strains and phylogenetically related type strains were well below the generally accepted species delineation thresholds. The three strains could also be differentiated from selected reference type strains by phenotypic characteristics. Chemotaxonomically, they contained MK-12 as the predominant menaquinone and anteiso-C15:0, anteiso-C17:0 and iso-C16:0 as the major fatty acids, while their whole-cell sugar and polar lipid profiles were consistent with those characteristic of the genus Agromyces. On the basis of the combined phylogenetic, genomic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic evidence, strains LJC-15T, NGA-4T and QZ2-6-4T are proposed to represent three novel species of the genus Agromyces, for which the names Agromyces capsici sp. nov., Agromyces cucurbitae sp. nov. and Agromyces solani sp. nov. are proposed, respectively. The type strains are LJC-15T (=GDMCC 1.6754T = KCTC 59690T), NGA-4T (=GDMCC 1.6755T = KCTC 59691T) and QZ2-6-4T (=GDMCC 1.6756T = KCTC 59692T), respectively.
Three actinobacterial strains, AW10-10T, M8-1T and HGHZ1-2T, were isolated from soil in Yunnan Province, China and analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences and shotgun-sequenced draft genomes placed them within the genus Microbacterium, well below the accepted species-level thresholds.

Bacterial strains were isolated from different locations and screened for plant growth promoting (PGP) features. Comparative analyses of the 16S gene sequences of 5 of the strains indicated taxonomic relatedness within the genus Paenibacillus. A polyphasic taxonomic approach was employed to study the strains in detail to clarify their phylogenetic position. Genome-based analyses, including digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI), revealed values consistently below the accepted species delineation thresholds when compared with closest relatives of each strain. Additionally, the strains showed clear differences in their physiological and biochemical profiles to the type strains of the closest related species. A notably diverse set of genes potentially involved in plant growth promotion was detected in all strains. With respect to the analyses reported here, the following new names are proposed: Paenibacillus corni sp. nov., with AK-167T as the type strain (= LMG 34403T = DSM 121689T); Paenibacillus vaccinii sp. nov., with AK-264T as the type strain (= LMG 34404T = DSM 121714T); Paenibacillus ericacearum sp. nov., with AK-265T as the type strain (= CCM 6913T = LMG 34405T = DSM 121715T); Paenibacillus polytrichii sp. nov., with AK-286T as the type strain (= CCM 9614T = LMG 34406T = DSM 121716T); and Paenibacillus artemisiae sp. nov., with DT-106T as the type strain (= LMG 34409T = CCM 9610T = DSM 121690T).

Abstract Two alphaproteobacterial strains, designated EGI L300112T and EGI L300120, were isolated from sediment collected from Chaiwopu Lake in Xinjiang, China. The taxonomic position of the two strains was determined using polyphasic taxonomic analysis and phylogenomic analysis. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, strain EGI L300112T and EGI L300120 were both closely related to Pelagerythrobacter rhizovicinus AY-3RT and shared the highest sequence identities of 96.2% and 96.3%, respectively. However, phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene and genomes clearly demonstrated that the two strains formed a distinct clade with validly published species of the genus Altererythrobacter. Furthermore, the two strains exhibited distinct phenotypic, physiological and genotypic characteristics that differentiate them from other related type species of the genus Altererythrobacter and related species in the family Erythrobacteraceae. Cells of the two strains were aerobic, Gram-stain negative, non-motile and rod-shaped. Optimal growth conditions for EGI L300112T and EGI L300120 occurred on marine agar 2216 at pH 7 at 30 °C. The major respiratory quinone was Q-10. The detected polar lipids of two strains included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and unidentified phospholipids. The major fatty acids (>10%) were identified as summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7 c/C16 : 1ω6 c) and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7 c). The G+C content of strain EGI L300112T and EGI L300120 was 61.2% and 61.4%, respectively. Based on differential phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of the two strains and related species in the genus Altererythrobacter, the two strains should be classified as representing a new species of this genus, for which the name Altererythrobacter chaiwopuensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is EGI L300112T (=MCCC 1K09432T=KCTC 8712T).
