Two whitish yellow, Gram-positive, non-motile, aerobic bacteria were isolated from enrichment culture during degradation of the thallus of the brown alga Fucus evanescens. The bacteria studied were chemo-organotrophic, mesophilic and grew well on nutrient media containing up to 15 % (w/v) NaCl. The DNA G+C content was 61 mol%. The two isolates exhibited a conspecific DNA-DNA relatedness value of 98 %, indicating that they belong to the same species. A comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain KMM 3637 T formed a distinct phyletic lineage in the genus Brevibacterium (family Brevibacteriaceae, class Actinobacteria) and showed the highest sequence similarity (about 97 %) to Brevibacterium casei. DNA-DNA hybridization experiments demonstrated 45 % binding with the DNA of B. casei DSM 20657 T . Physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics (meso-diaminopimelic acid in the peptidoglycan, major cellular fatty acids 15 : 0ai and 17 : 0ai) of the bacteria studied were consistent with the genomic and phylogenetic data. On the basis of the results of this study, a novel species, Brevibacterium celere sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is KMM 3637 T (=DSM 15453 T =ATCC BAA-809 T ).The genus Brevibacterium was proposed by Breed (1953) for some Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, non-branching rods formerly classified as members of the genus 'Bacterium'. A number of species with diverse morphological, physiological and biochemical properties were subsequently included in the genus (Breed, 1957). The description of the genus was later emended and restricted only to the species that correspond to the type species Brevibacterium linens in terms of morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics (Collins et al., 1980). Along with B. linens, the following Brevibacterium (sensu stricto) species are currently recognized within the genus:

“…At the time of writing, the following 15 species with validly published names, in addition to the type species Brevibacterium linens, remain within the genus: Brevibacterium antiquum, B. aurantiacum, B. permense (Gavrish et al, 2004), B. avium (Pascual & Collins, 1999), B. casei, B. epidermidis (Collins et al, 1983), B. cerele (Ivanova et al, 2004), B. iodinum (Collins et al, 1980), B. luteolum (Wauters et al, 2003;Euzéby & Tindall, 2004), B. mcbrellneri (McBride et al, 1993), B. otitidis (Pascual et al, 1996), B. paucivorans (Wauters et al, 2001), B. picturae (Heyrman et al, 2004), B. sanguinis (Wauters et al, 2004) and B. samyangense (Lee, 2006). While most of the species were isolated from dairy products, clinical specimens, poultry and soils, a few were recovered from marine environments, such as algae and beach sediment, as reported previously (Ivanova et al, 2004;Lee, 2006).…”

A novel yellow-pigmented actinobacterium was isolated from seawater collected from Hwasun Beach in Jeju, Republic of Korea. A comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the organism, designated HFW-26 T , was closely related to members of the genus Brevibacterium. As found for other species of the genus Brevibacterium, strain HFW-26 T possessed meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic cell-wall diamino acid, contained MK-8(H 2 ) as the major menaquinone, contained polar lipids that included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and an unknown phospholipid, and had anteiso-C 15 : 0 and anteiso-C 17 : 0 as the predominant fatty acids. The G+C content of the DNA was 71.4 mol%.

“…For C. caeni N4 T , which was reported originally as being asaccharolytic, we detected acid production from several sugars by using oxidation-fermentation medium and phenol red agar with low peptone content (Wauters et al, 1998). The type strain of C. caeni produced indole on urea-indole broth and was urease-negative on Christensen's urea broth and ureaindole broth.The 16S rRNA gene sequences were determined for all isolates as described previously (Wauters et al, 2003), and phylogenetic tree construction based on 16S rRNA gene sequences was done as described by Nemec et al (2001). Cluster analysis was performed by using GeneBase (Applied Maths) and was based on the neighbour-joining method.…”

A collection of eight clinical strains from Belgian hospitals and three clinical strains of the CCUG collection were characterized biochemically as being similar to CDC groups II-h and II-c; the latter differs from group II-h only by positivity for sucrose acidification. These 11 strains were found to cluster according to 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity at a level of ¢99.5 %, and on the basis of their tDNA-PCR profile. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, this collection of strains was related most closely to Chryseobacterium hispanicum (97.2 %), but they differed from the type strain of this species by the following phenotypic characteristics: growth at 37 6C, negativity for xylose acidification, positivity for acetate assimilation-alkalinization on Simmons' agar base and absence of flexirubin pigments, and by their tDNA-PCR profile. Strain NF802 T showed only 57.8 % DNA-DNA relatedness to the type strain of C. hispanicum. Fatty acid composition did not enable differentiation from C. hispanicum. The DNA G+C content of strain NF802 T is 36.5 mol%. The name Chryseobacterium hominis sp. nov. is proposed for this taxon, with type strain NF802 T (5CCUG 52711 T 5CIP 109415 T ).The family Flavobacteriaceae, emended by Bernardet et al. (2002), currently comprises more than 50 genera, including Bergeyella, Chryseobacterium, Elizabethkingia, Kaistella, Riemerella, Sejongia and the recently described Wautersiella (Kämpfer et al., 2006).At present, the genus Chryseobacterium comprises 20 species, including some of clinical importance (Quan et al., 2007). In addition, Schreckenberger et al. (2003) mentioned a number of phenotypically related strains called 'CDC groups II-c, II-e, II-g, II-h and II-i', which are recovered rarely from clinical material, according to the authors. CDC group II-h and group II-c strains are distinguished from each other by acid production from sucrose (CDC group II-c), from group II-e by aesculin hydrolysis, from group II-i by the absence of xylose acidification and from group II-g because the latter is nonsaccharolytic. In this study, we characterized seven CDC IIh and four CDC II-c strains, of which the clinical and geographical origin and the year of isolation are listed in Table 1. On the basis of this study, we propose that the 11 strains represent a novel species in the genus Chryseobacterium, for which the name Chryseobacterium hominis sp. nov. is proposed.Biochemical and morphological tests were performed as described previously (Laffineur et al., 2002;Schreckenberger et al., 2003); the morphological characteristics of the novel species are given in the species description. Inhibition zones were determined on tryptic soy agar around discs of tetracycline (30 mg), ciprofloxaxcin (5 mg), trimethoprim/cotrimoxazole (23.75 mg/1.25 mg), ampicillin (10 mg), temocillin (30 mg), cephalothin (30 mg), cefotaxime (30 mg), erythromycin (15 mg), gentamicin (10 mg) and colistin (10 mg).Acid production from carbohydrates was tested on oxidation-fermentation medium and low-peptone phenol red agar ...
