Taxogenomic analyses of Starmerella gilliamiae f.a, sp. nov. and Starmerella monicapupoae f.a., sp. nov., two novel species isolated from plant substrates and insects
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2024 Feb;74(2). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.006270.ABSTRACTFour yeast isolates collected from flowers from different ecosystems in Brazil, one from fruit of Nothofagus alpina in Argentina, three from flowers of Neltuma chilensis in Chile and one obtained from the proventriculus of a female bumblebee in Canada were demonstred, by analysis of the sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and D1/D2 domains of the large subunit rRNA gene, to represent two novel species of the genus Starmerella. These species are described here as Starmerella gilliamiae f.a, sp. nov. (CBS 16166T; Mycobank MB ...

Diversity and distribution of Phytophthora species across different types of riparian vegetation in Italy with the description of Phytophthora heteromorpha sp. nov
This study represents the most comprehensive investigation on the Phytophthora species associated with declining riparian vegetation in Italy and highlights that the polyphagous pathogen P. plurivora represents a growing threat to Mediterranean, temperate and alpine ecosystems.PMID:38407194 | DOI:10.1099/ijsem.0.006272 (Source: International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology)

 Polycladomyces zharkentensis sp. nov., a novel thermophilic cellulose- and starch-degrading member of the Bacillota from a geothermal aquifer in Kazakhstan
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2024 Feb;74(2). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.006269.ABSTRACTA thermophilic, aerobic and heterotrophic filamentous bacterium, designated strain ZKZ2T, was isolated from a pipeline producing hydrothermal water originating from a >2.3 km deep subsurface geothermal source in Zharkent, Almaty region, Kazakhstan. The isolate was Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, heat-resistant and capable of producing a variety of extracellular hydrolases. Growth occurred at temperatures between 55 and 75 °C, with an optimum around 70 °C, and at pH values between 5.5 and 9.0, with an optimum at pH 7.0-7.5 with the formatio...

 Stenotrophomonas riyadhensis sp. nov., isolated from a hospital floor swab
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2024 Feb;74(2). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.006250.ABSTRACTDuring the analysis of a collection of Pseudomonas strains linked to an outbreak in an intensive care unit at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in 2019, one isolate (CFS3442T) was identified phenotypically as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, whole-genome sequencing revealed its true identity as a member of the genus Stenotrophomonas, distinct from both P. aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. The isolate demonstrated: (i) a significant phylogenetic distance from P. aeruginosa; (ii) considerable genomic differences from s...

 Chitiniphilus purpureus sp. nov., a novel chitin-degrading bacterium isolated from crawfish pond sediment
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2024 Feb;74(2). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.006245.ABSTRACTA novel Gram-stain-negative, curved rod-shaped, motile and chitin-degrading strain, designated CD1T, was isolated from crawfish pond sediment in Caidian District (30° 58' N 114° 03' E), Wuhan City, Hubei Province, PR China. Growth of this strain was observed at 15-40°C (optimum between 28 and 30 °C), at pH 7.0-9.0 (optimum between pH 7.0 and 8.0) and with 0-1 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum at 0 %). With respect to the 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain CD1T had the highest similarity (96.91-97.25 %) to four type strains of the genera 'Chitinolyticbacter...

Judicial Opinion 129
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2024 Feb;74(2). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.006064.ABSTRACTOpinion 129 addresses the status of Firmicutes corrig. Gibbons and Murray 1978 (Approved Lists 1980). The name has the category 'division' and was included in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names, although that category had previously been removed from the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria (1975 revision onwards). When the category 'phylum' was introduced into the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP) in 2021, equivalence between 'phylum' and 'division' was not stipulated. Since the definition of the taxonomic ca...

 Ogataea nonmethanolica f.a, sp. nov., a novel yeast species isolated from rotting wood in Brazil and Colombia
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2024 Feb;74(2). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.006273.ABSTRACTThree yeast isolate candidates for a novel species were obtained from rotting wood samples collected in Brazil and Colombia. The Brazilian isolate differs from the Colombian isolates by one nucleotide substitution in each of the D1/D2 and small subunit (SSU) sequences. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and translation elongation factor 1-α gene sequences of the three isolates were identical. A phylogenetic analysis showed that this novel species belongs to the genus Ogataea. This novel species is phylogenetically related to Candida nanaspor...

 Erysipelothrix amsterdamensis sp. nov., associated with mortalities among endangered seabirds
In this study, we genomically characterized 16 Erysipelothrix species isolates obtained from three Indian yellow-nosed albatross (Thalassarche carteri) chick carcasses in 2019. Histological analyses suggest that they died of bacterial septicaemia. Two isolates were sequenced using both Illumina short-read and MinION long-read approaches, which - following hybrid assembly - resulted in closed circular genomes. Mapping of Illumina reads from the remaining isolates to one of these new reference genomes revealed that all 16 isolates were closely related, with a maximum of 13 nucleotide differences distinguishing any pair of is...
