Summary: Five novel halophilic archaeal strains were isolated from coastal saline sediments and sea salt in China. They demonstrated typical morphology and growth characteristics and showed high similarities with existing species. However, based on genetic and phylogenetic analyses, it is confirmed that these strains represent five new species. This is the first report of a novel haloarchaeon isolated from a marine intertidal zone.

Summary: Two novel anaerobic strains, designated AF52-21(T) and CM04-06(T), were isolated from faeces of healthy Chinese donors using a pure culture strategy. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these strains clustered with Faecalibacterium species, supporting their recognition as two new species within the genus. Genomic analysis showed differences below the proposed species threshold, confirming their uniqueness.

Summary: Two new bacterial strains, Marseille-P2698(T) and Marseille-P2260(T), were isolated from human stools using the culturomic method. These two strains were fully described using the taxonogenomic approach. Marseille-P2698(T) was identified as a Gram-negative, motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, while Marseille-P2260(T) was identified as a Gram-positive, motile, spore-forming rod-shaped bacterium.

Summary: A novel Photobacterium species named Photobacterium arenosum sp. nov. was isolated from marine sediment sand in Sido Island, Republic of Korea. This Gram-stain-negative bacterium is aerobic, motile, short rod-shaped, catalase-negative, and oxidase-positive. It shows high similarity to other members of the genus Photobacterium, with unique fatty acid profiles and polar lipid composition. Genomic analysis revealed a 4.8 Mb genome size with 50.1 mol% G+C content, supporting its classification as a distinct species within the Photobacterium genus.
