Summary: This study demonstrates the electricity generation using Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) driven by the single methanogen Methanosarcina barkeri, revealing its electrogenic mechanism. The findings suggest that M. barkeri can directly donate electrons to electrodes and secrete redox-active compounds to facilitate indirect extracellular electron transfer (EET).

Summary: A new Gram-stain negative bacterium with a single polar flagellum, named Sedimentimonas flavescens, was isolated from sediment in Clam Island, Liaoning Province, China. It belongs to the family Rhodobacteraceae and shows high sequence similarity with Sinirhodobacter populi sk2b1(T). Based on biochemical and phylogenetic analysis, Sedimentimonas flavescens represents a novel species of a novel genus.

Summary: Two new genera, Neglectibacter gen. nov. and Scatolibacter gen. nov., were identified from stool samples using the culturomics approach, with strains Marseille-P2265(T) and Marseille-P3890(T) being the type strains of Neglectibacter timonensis gen. nov., sp. nov. and Scatolibacter rhodanostii gen. nov., sp. nov., respectively. Genomic comparisons with closely related species revealed lower dDDH, OrthoANI, and AAI values, indicating these strains represent novel taxa within the family Oscillospiraceae.

Summary: A halophilic archaeal strain, designated C46(T), was isolated from an inland salt lake in Qinghai Province, PR China. The phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain C46(T) belongs to the genus Halobaculum and is closely related to Halobaculum rubrum strain WSA2(T).

Summary: A novel marine bacterium, Vallitalea longa sp. nov., strain SH18-1T, was isolated from sediment near Sado Island in Japan. This strain is anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, and motile. It has a wide temperature, salt concentration, and pH range for growth. Phylogenetic analysis shows its closest related species to be Vallitalea guaymasensis Ra1766G1T. The results indicate that strain SH18-1T represents a new species of the genus Vallitalea.

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.
