Summary: This study describes a new species, Chrysosphaerella septentrionalis, found in a peat bog on the bank of the Paz River in the Murmansk Region, Russia. The species closely resembles C. longispina, but can be differentiated by its smaller subcircular scales. The study also proposes an infrageneric classification for the genus Chrysosphaerella and introduces a new family, Chrysosphaerellaceae fam. nov.

Summary: Members of the Opitutae class are widespread in various environments and are primarily delineated based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and limited phenotypic characterizations. This study characterized a novel strain, WMMB3(T), from a mangrove sediment, and proposed a new species, Coraliomargarita parva. Additionally, a taxonomic framework for the Opitutae class was provided based on genomic data.

Summary: Hagnosa longicapillata, a new species collected from indoor environments in Hungary, grows on wooden building materials and disperses spores through mechanical disturbance of the mycelial web. In a separate phylogenetic analysis, a new family, Hagnosaceae, is proposed to place Hagnosa in Sordariales.

Summary: Lower termites carry diverse symbiotic gut flagellates, and this study identified a new lineage called Retractinymphidae. The new genus Retractinympha glossotermitis is closely related to Teranymphidae, but its rostrum is longer than the body, and its anterior end is retractable. In addition, the presence of Heliconympha and Retractinympha and the absence of Pseudotrichonympha in Serritermitidae support the hypothesis of horizontal transmission.

Summary: This study presents a functional and genomic characterization of strain NFX-FRZ, a eukaryotic microalga belonging to the Micractinium genus, isolated from the rhizosphere of a plant in Portugal. The results show that strain NFX-FRZ belongs to a novel species, promotes tomato plant growth by synthesizing plant growth-promoting compounds and contains genes involved in phytohormone biosynthesis and signaling. This research provides insights into the importance of eukaryotic microalgae as plant growth-promoting agents and contributes to the understanding of phytohormone biosynthesis, signaling, and plant-microalgae interactions.

Summary: This study conducted molecular phylogenetic analyses and established a new family, Asproinocybaceae fam. nov., to accommodate the independent family-level clade formed by Asproinocybe and Tricholosporum. Additionally, two new species, Asproinocybe sinensis and Tricholosporum guangxiense, from subtropical and tropical karst areas of China, were described.

Summary: A new predatory bacillus, strain V1718(T), was isolated from Xiaoshi Island, PR China. Strain V1718(T) showed similarities to other strains and had the ability to prey on other bacteria. This strain belongs to a novel family based on its physiological, biochemical, and phylogenetic properties.

Summary: This paper provides taxonomic treatments for Bionectriaceae, Calcarisporiaceae, Hypocreaceae, Nectriaceae, Tilachlidiaceae, Ijuhyaceae, Stromatonectriaceae, and Xanthonectriaceae, and includes up-to-date DNA sequence-based phylogenies. The study introduces three new families, 12 new species, 13 new records, and one new species combination. The taxonomy, phenotypic and molecular analyses of various families are detailed, along with a list of accepted genera, taxonomic history, morphological descriptions, and ecological and economic importance.

Summary: The methanogenic strain Mx-05(T), isolated from human fecal microbiome, belongs to the order Methanomassiliicoccales. It can reduce methanol, monomethylamine, dimethylamine, and trimethylamine into methane using H-2 as an electron donor. The strain requires specific medium factors and can grow within certain temperature, pH, and NaCl concentration ranges.

Summary: The novel bacterium ML27(T) was isolated from oyster homogenate in Rushan, Weihai, PR China. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that ML27(T) represents a new genus within a novel family of the order Cardiobacteriales, named Ostreibacterium oceani gen. nov., sp. nov. This suggests the establishment of a new family, Ostreibacteriaceae fam. nov., to accommodate the genus Ostreibacterium.

Summary: This study utilized transcriptomic data to analyze the inter-genus relationships of anaerobic gut fungi (AGF) and proposed a Linnaean taxonomic framework for AGF classification. Four supra-genus clades and four family classifications were identified. The results demonstrated the utility of RPB1 as an informative marker in Neocallimastigomycota taxonomy.

Summary: This study proposes two new families, Climacocystaceae and Gloeoporellaceae, within the diverse group of Polyporales based on morphological and molecular data. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using DNA sequences of various genes, and the divergence time of Polyporales was estimated using the conserved regions of five DNA fragments. The results reveal the ancestral split of Polyporales and the ages of the families, with Climacocystaceae and Gloeoporellaceae originating at specific time periods.

Summary: Bacterial strain Marseille-P3954 was isolated from a stool sample of a 35-year-old male patient living in France. It belongs to a new bacterial genus, classified in a new family, based on its genomic, phenotypic, and phylogenetic evidences. The proposed classification is Maliibacterium massiliense gen. nov., sp. nov. with the type strain Marseille-P3954 (CSUR P3954 = CECT 9568).
