Two Gram-stain-negative, obligately aerobic, non-motile, short rod-shaped bacteria, designated IMCC43871T and IMCC45206T, were isolated from coastal surface seawater collected from the Yellow Sea and the South Sea of Korea, respectively. The two strains shared 99.2% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with each other and exhibited ≤ 98.4% similarity to three described Rubrivirga species. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between IMCC43871T and IMCC45206T were 88.5% and 36.3%, respectively, confirming that they represent two distinct species. Their ANI (≤ 77.7%) and dDDH (≤ 21.4%) values relative to the type strains of the genus Rubrivirga further supported the recognition of strains IMCC43871T and IMCC45206T as two novel species within the genus. The complete genomes of IMCC43871T (4.17 Mb, 71.8% G + C content) and IMCC45206T (4.17 Mb, 72.8% G + C content) fall within the known genomic range of the genus. Cellular fatty acid, quinone, and polar lipid profiles were consistent with the chemotaxonomic features of the genus Rubrivirga, supporting their affiliation with the genus. Based on phylogenetic, genomic, and phenotypic evidence, strains IMCC43871T and IMCC45206T are proposed as two novel species, Rubrivirga aquatilis sp. nov. and Rubrivirga halophila sp. nov., respectively. The type strains are IMCC43871T (= KCTC 102072T = NBRC 116463T) and IMCC45206T (= KCTC 92925T = NBRC 116172T = CCTCC AB 2023136T).

Bioflocs are microbial aggregates primarily composed of heterotrophic bacteria that play essential ecological roles in maintaining animal health, gut microbiota, and water quality in biofloc aquaculture systems. Despite the global adoption of biofloc aquaculture for shrimp and fish cultivation, our understanding of biofloc microbiota-particularly the dominant bacterial members and their ecological functions-remains limited. In this study, we employed integrated metataxonomic and metagenomic approaches to demonstrate that the family Rhodobacteraceae of Alphaproteobacteria consistently dominates the biofloc microbiota and plays essential ecological roles. We first analyzed a comprehensive metataxonomic dataset consisting of 200 16S rRNA gene amplicons collected across three Asian countries: South Korea, China, and Vietnam.
Taxonomic investigation identified Rhodobacteraceae as the dominant and consistent bacterial members across the datasets. The predominance of this taxon was further validated through metagenomics approaches, including read taxonomy and read recruitment analyses. To explore the ecological roles of Rhodobacteraceae, we applied genome-centric metagenomics, reconstructing 45 metagenome-assembled genomes. Functional annotation of these genomes revealed that dominant Rhodobacteraceae genera, such as Marivita, Ruegeria, Dinoroseobacter, and Aliiroseovarius, are involved in vital ecological processes, including complex carbohydrate degradation, aerobic denitrification, assimilatory nitrate reduction, ammonium assimilation, and sulfur oxidation. Overall, our study reveals that the common practice of carbohydrate addition in biofloc aquaculture systems fosters the growth of specific heterotrophic bacterial communities, particularly Rhodobacteraceae. These bacteria contribute to maintaining water quality by removing toxic nitrogen and sulfur compounds and enhance animal health by colonizing gut microbiota and exerting probiotic effects.

Two Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile by means of flagella, short rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated IMCC43200(T) and IMCC45268(T), were isolated from coastal seawater samples collected from the South Sea of Korea. Strains IMCC43200(T) and IMCC45268(T) shared 98.6% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and were closely related to Congregibacter litoralis KT71(T) (98.8% and 98.7%, respectively). Complete whole-genome sequences of IMCC43200(T) and IMCC45268(T) were 3.93 and 3.86 Mb in size with DNA G + C contents of 54.8% and 54.2%, respectively. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between the two strains were 74.5% and 23.4%, respectively, revealing that they are independent species. The two strains showed ANI values of ≤ 75.8% and dDDH values of ≤ 23.0% to the type and only species of the genus Congregibacter (C. litoralis), indicating that each strain represents a novel species. Both strains contained summed feature 3 (comprising C(16:1) ω6c and/or C(16:1) ω7c) and summed feature 8 (comprising C(18:1) ω6c and/or C(18:1) ω7c) as major fatty acid constituents. The predominant isoprenoid quinone detected in both strains was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8). The major polar lipids of the two strains were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phospholipids, and aminolipids. Based on the phylogenetic, genomic, and phenotypic characterization, strains IMCC43200(T) and IMCC45268(T) were considered to represent two novel species within the genus Congregibacter, for which the names Congregibacter variabilis sp. nov. and Congregibacter brevis sp. nov. are proposed with IMCC43200(T) (= KCTC 8133(T) = NBRC 116295(T) = CCTCC AB 2023139(T)) and IMCC45268(T) (= KCTC 92921(T) = NBRC 116135(T)) as the type strains, respectively.

The name Flavihumibacter fluminis Park et al. 2022, which was effectively published but invalidated, is an illegitimate
homonymic epithet of Flavihumibacter fluminis Guo et al. 2023. The low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and genomic
relatedness between the type strains IMCC34837T
and RY-1T of the two homonymic species indicated that they are different
species. To avoid further confusion, we propose a new name Flavihumibacter fluvii sp. nov. to replace the effectively
published but invalidated homonymic epithet Flavihumibacter fluminis Park et al. 2022.

Abstract

-
Eleven bacterial strains were isolated from freshwater environments and identified as Flavobacterium based on 16S rRNA
gene sequence analyses. Complete genome sequences of the 11 strains ranged from 3.45 to 5.83 Mb with G + C contents
of 33.41–37.31%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) values showed that strains IMCC34515T
and IMCC34518 belonged to the same species, while the other nine strains represented each separate species. The ANI values between
the strains and their closest Flavobacterium species exhibited ≤ 91.76%, indicating they represent each novel species. All
strains had similar characteristics such as being Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, and contained iso-C15:0 as the predominant
fatty acid, menaquinone-6 as the respiratory quinone, and phosphatidylethanolamine and aminolipids as major polar
lipids. Genomic, phylogenetic, and phenotypic characterization confirmed that the 11 strains were distinct from previously
recognized Flavobacterium species. Therefore, Flavobacterium praedii sp. nov. (IMCC34515T = KACC 22282T = NBRC 114937T),
Flavobacterium marginilacus sp. nov. (IMCC34673T = KACC 22284T = NBRC 114940T), Flavobacterium aestivum sp. nov.
(IMCC34774T = KACC 22285T = NBRC 114941T), Flavobacterium flavigenum sp. nov. (IMCC34775T = KACC22286T = NBRC 114942T),
Flavobacterium luteolum sp. nov. (IMCC34776T = KACC 22287T = NBRC 114943T), Flavobacterium gelatinilyticum sp. nov.
(IMCC34777T = KACC 22288T = NBRC 114944T), Flavobacterium aquiphilum sp.nov. (IMCC34779T = KACC 22289T = NBRC 114945T),
Flavobacterium limnophilum sp. nov. (IMCC36791T = KACC22290T = NBRC 114947T), Flavobacterium lacustre sp. nov.
(IMCC36792T = KACC 22291T = NBRC 114948T), and Flavobacterium eburneipallidum sp. nov. (IMCC36793T = KACC 22292T = NBRC 114949T)
are proposed as novel species.

Two Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, chemoheterotrophic, nonmotile,
rod-shaped, and yellow-pigmented bacterial strains,
designated IMCC34837T and IMCC34838T, were isolated from
a freshwater stream. Results of 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic
analyses showed that strains IMCC34837T and IMCC-
34838T shared 96.3% sequence similarity and were most closely
related to Flavihumibacter profundi Chu64-6-1T (99.6%)
and Flavihumibacter cheonanensis WS16T (96.4%), respectively.
Complete whole-genome sequences of strains IMCC-
34837T and IMCC34838T were 5.0 Mbp and 4.3 Mbp of genome
size with 44.5% and 47.9% of DNA G + C contents,
respectively. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital
DNA- DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between the two
strains were 70.0% and 17.9%, repectively, revealing that they
are independent species. The two strains showed ≤ 75.2% ANI
and ≤ 19.3% dDDH values to each closely related species of the
genus Flavihumibacter, indicating that the two strains represent
each novel species. Major fatty acid constituents of
strain IMCC34837T were iso-C15:0, iso-C15:1 G and anteiso-C15:0
and those of strain IMCC34838T were iso-C15:0 and iso-C15:1
G. The predominant isoprenoid quinone detected in both
strains was menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Major polar lipids of
both strains were phosphatidylethanolamine, aminolipids,
and glycolipids. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic
characterization, strains IMCC34837T and IMCC34838T were
considered to represent two novel species within the genus
Flavihumibacter, for which the names Flavihumibacter fluminis
sp. nov. and Flavihumibacter rivuli sp. nov. are proposed
with IMCC34837T (= KACC 21752T = NBRC 115292T)
and IMCC34838T (= KACC 21753T = NBRC 115293T) as
the type strains, respectively.

Abstract

Viruses are found in almost all biomes on Earth, with bacteriophages
(phages) accounting for the majority of viral particles
in most ecosystems. Phages have been isolated from
natural environments using the plaque assay and liquid medium-
based dilution culturing. However, phage cultivation is
restricted by the current limitations in the number of culturable
bacterial strains. Unlike prokaryotes, which possess
universally conserved 16S rRNA genes, phages lack universal
marker genes for viral taxonomy, thus restricting cultureindependent
analyses of viral diversity. To circumvent these
limitations, shotgun viral metagenome sequencing (i.e., metaviromics)
has been developed to enable the extensive sequencing
of a variety of viral particles present in the environment
and is now widely used. Using metaviromics, numerous
studies on viral communities have been conducted in oceans,
lakes, rivers, and soils, resulting in many novel phage sequences.
Furthermore, auxiliary metabolic genes such as ammonic
monooxygenase C and β-lactamase have been discovered
in viral contigs assembled from viral metagenomes.
Current attempts to identify putative bacterial hosts of viral
metagenome sequences based on sequence homology have
been limited due to viral sequence variations. Therefore, culture-
independent approaches have been developed to predict
bacterial hosts using single-cell genomics and fluorescentlabeling.
This review focuses on recent viral metagenome
studies conducted in natural environments, especially in aquatic
ecosystems, and their contributions to phage ecology.
Here, we concluded that although metaviromics is a key tool
for the study of viral ecology, this approach must be supplemented
with phage-host identification, which in turn requires
the cultivation of phage-bacteria systems.

Multi-omics approaches, including metagenomics and single-
cell amplified genomics, have revolutionized our understanding
of the hidden diversity and function of microbes
in nature. Even in the omics age, cultivation is an essential
discipline in microbial ecology since microbial cultures are
necessary to assess the validity of an in silico prediction about
the microbial metabolism and to isolate viruses infecting bacteria
and archaea. However, the ecophysiological characteristics
of predominant freshwater bacterial lineages remain
largely unknown due to the scarcity of cultured representatives.
In an ongoing effort to cultivate the uncultured majority
of freshwater bacteria, the most abundant freshwater
Actinobacteria acI clade has recently been cultivated from
Lake Soyang through catalase-supplemented high-throughput
cultivation based on dilution-to-extinction. This method
involves physical isolation of target microbes from mixed populations,
culture media simulating natural habitats, and removal
of toxic compounds. In this protocol, we describe detailed
procedures for isolating freshwater oligotrophic microbes,
as well as the essence of the dilution-to-extinction culturing.
As a case study employing the catalase-supplemented
dilution-to-extinction protocol, we also report a cultivation
trial using a water sample collected from Lake Soyang. Of the
480 cultivation wells inoculated with a single lake-water sample,
75 new acI strains belonging to 8 acI tribes (acI-A1, A2,
A4, A5, A6, A7, B1, B4, C1, and C2) were cultivated, and each
representative strain per subclade could be revived from glycerol
stocks. These cultivation results demonstrate that the
protocol described in this study is efficient in isolating freshwater
bacterioplankton harboring streamlined genomes.

Abstract
PDF
-
A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, obligately aerobic, nonflagellated,
and chemoheterotrophic bacterium, designated
IMCC3088T, was isolated from coastal seawater of the Yellow
Sea. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that
this strain belonged to the family Halieaceae which shared
the highest sequence similarities with Luminiphilus syltensis
NOR5-1BT (94.5%) and Halioglobus pacificus S1-72T (94.5%),
followed by 92.3–94.3% sequence similarities with other species
within the aforementioned family. Phylogenetic analyses
demonstrated that strain IMCC3088T was robustly clustered
with Luminiphilus syltensis NOR5-1BT within the family
Halieaceae. However, average amino acid identity (AAI), percentages
of conserved proteins (POCP), average nucleotide
identity (ANI), and alignment fraction (AF) between strain
IMCC3088T and Luminiphilus syltensis NOR5-1BT were 54.5%,
47.7%, 68.0%, and 16.5%, respectively, suggesting that they
belonged to different genera. Whole-genome sequencing of
strain IMCC3088T revealed a 3.1 Mbp genome size with a
DNA G + C content of 51.7 mol%. The genome encoded diverse
metabolic pathways including sulfur oxidation, phenol
degradation, and proteorhodopsin phototrophy. Mono-unsaturated
fatty acids were found to be the predominant cellular
fatty acid components in the strain. Phosphatidylethanolamine,
phosphatidylglycerol, and diphosphatidylglycerol
were the primarily identified polar lipids, and ubiquinone-8
was identified as a major respiratory quinone. The taxonomic
data collected herein suggested that strain IMCC3088T represented
a novel genus and species of the family Halieaceae,
for which the name Aequoribacter fuscus gen. nov., sp. nov.
is proposed with the type strain (= KACC 15529T = NBRC
108213T).

Abstract
PDF
-
Microalgae and bacteria are known to be closely associated in
diverse environments. To isolate dominant bacterial species
associated with a green alga, Dunaliella tertiolecta, a photoreactor
culture of the microalga was investigated using culture-
based and culture-independent approaches. The bacterial
community structure of the algal culture showed that
the most abundant bacterial species under the culture conditions
was related to the genus Winogradskyella. The closely
related amplicon sequences, showing ≥ 99.5% 16S rRNA gene
sequence similarity to one of the isolates, designated IMCC-
33238T, constituted > 49% of the bacterial community and
was therefore regarded as the most dominant species in the
algal culture. Strain IMCC33238T was characterized by Gramstaining-
negative and orange-colored rods. Phylogenetic analyses
of the 16S rRNA genes as well as whole genome sequences
revealed that strain IMCC33238T belonged to Winogradskyella
and shared more than 97.2% 16S rRNA gene sequence
similarity with Winogradskyella species. The strain
contained iso-C15:1 G, iso-C15:0, iso-C15:0 3-OH, and summed
feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c and/or C16:1 ω7c) as major fatty acids and
MK-6 as the predominant quinone. The polar lipids found
in strain IMCC33238T were phosphatidylethanolamine, two
unidentified aminolipids, and three unidentified lipids. The
genome of strain IMCC33238T was 3.37 Mbp in size with
33.9 mol% G + C content and proteorhodopsin. Many genes
encoding folate and vitamin production are considered to play
an important role in the bacteria-algae interaction. On the
basis of phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics, strain
IMCC33238T represents a novel species in the genus Winogradskyella,
for which the name Winogradskyella algicola sp.
nov. is proposed. The type strain is IMCC33238T (= KACC
21192T = NBRC 113704T).

Strain IMCC1322 was isolated from a surface water sample
from the East Sea of Korea. Based on 16S rRNA analysis,
IMCC1322 was found to belong to the OCS28 sub-clade of
SAR116. The cells appeared as short vibrioids in logarithmicphase
culture, and elongated spirals during incubation with
mitomycin or in aged culture. Growth characteristics of strain
IMCC1322 were further evaluated based on genomic information;
proteorhodopsin (PR), carbon monoxide dehydrogenase,
and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP)-utilizing
enzymes. IMCC1322 PR was characterized as a functional
retinylidene protein that acts as a light-driven proton pump
in the cytoplasmic membrane. However, the PR-dependent
phototrophic potential of strain IMCC1322 was only observed
under CO-inhibited and nutrient-limited culture conditions.
A DMSP-enhanced growth response was observed in addition
to cultures grown on C1 compounds like methanol, formate,
and methane sulfonate. Strain IMCC1322 cultivation
analysis revealed biogeochemical processes characteristic of
the SAR116 group, a dominant member of the microbial community
in euphotic regions of the ocean. The polyphasic taxonomy
of strain IMCC1322 is given as Candidatus Puniceispirillum
marinum, and was confirmed by chemotaxonomic
tests, in addition to 16S rRNA phylogeny and cultivation
analyses.

Abstract
PDF

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, obligately aerobic, chemoheterotrophic
bacterium which is motile by means of a
single polar flagellum, designated SAORIC-263T, was isolated
from deep seawater of the Pacific Ocean. Phylogenetic
analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and genomebased
phylogeny revealed that strain SAORIC-263T belonged
to the genus Sulfitobacter and shared 96.1–99.9% 16S rRNA
gene sequence similarities with Sulfitobacter species. Wholegenome
sequencing of strain SAORIC-263T revealed a genome
size of 3.9Mbp and DNA G+C content of 61.3 mol%.
The SAORIC-263T genome shared an average nucleotide identity
and digital DNA-DNA hybridization of 79.1–88.5% and
18.9–35.0%, respectively, with other Sulfitobacter genomes.
The SAORIC-263T genome contained the genes related to
benzoate degradation, which are frequently found in deep-sea
metagenome. The strain contained summed feature 8 (C18:1
ω7c), C18:1 ω7c 11-methyl, and C16:0 as the predominant cellular
fatty acids as well as ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) as the major
respiratory quinone. The major polar lipids of the strain
were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol,
phosphatidylcholine, and aminolipid.
On the basis of taxonomic data obtained in this study, it is
suggested that strain SAORIC-263T represents a novel species
of the genus Sulfitobacter, for which the name Sulfitobacter
profundi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SAORIC-263T
(= KACC 21183T = NBRC 113428T).

Abstract

Although culture-independent studies have shown the presence
of Verrucomicrobia in the deep sea, verrucomicrobial
strains from deep-sea environments have been rarely cultured
and characterized. Recently, Rubritalea profundi SAORIC-
165T, a psychrophilic bacterium of the phylum Verrucomicrobia,
was isolated from a depth of 2,000 m in the northwestern
Pacific Ocean. In this study, the genome sequence
of R. profundi SAORIC-165T, the first deep-sea verrucomicrobial
isolate, is reported with description of the genome
properties and comparison to surface-borne Rubritalea genomes.
The draft genome consisted of four contigs with an
entire size of 4,167,407 bp and G+C content of 47.5%. The
SAORIC-165T genome was predicted to have 3,844 proteincoding
genes and 45 non-coding RNA genes. The genome
contained a repertoire of metabolic pathways, including the
Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway, pentose phosphate pathway,
tricarboxylic acid cycle, assimilatory sulfate reduction,
and biosynthesis of nicotinate/nicotinamide, pantothenate/
coenzyme A, folate, and lycopene. The comparative genomic
analyses with two surface-derived Rubritalea genomes showed
that the SAORIC-165T genome was enriched in genes involved
in transposition of mobile elements, signal transduction, and
carbohydrate metabolism, some of which might be related to
bacterial enhancement of ecological fitness in the deep-sea
environment. Amplicon sequencing of 16S rRNA genes from
the water column revealed that R. profundi-related phylotypes
were relatively abundant at 2,000 m and preferred a
particle-associated life style in the deep sea. These findings
suggest that R. profundi represents a genetically unique and
ecologically relevant verrucomicrobial group well adapted
to the deep-sea environment.

IMCC34762T, was isolated from a freshwater sample collected
from Lake Cheongpyeong in Korea. Phylogenetic analysis
based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain IMCC-
34762T formed a lineage within the genus Flavobacterium
and was most closely related to F. pectinovorum DSM 6368T
(98.3% sequence similarity), followed by F. piscis CCUG
60099T (98.3%), F. branchiicola 59B-3-09T (98.2%), and F.
saccharophilum DSM 1811T (98.2%). The average nucleotide
identity and the genome-to-genome distance between strain
IMCC34762T and the closely related strains were 61–62%
and 26–27%, respectively, indicating that IMCC34762T is a
novel species of the genus Flavobacterium. The major fatty
acids (> 5%) of strain IMCC34762T were summed feature 3
(C16:1 ω6c and/or C16:1 ω7c, 17.3%), iso-C15:0 (15.0%), iso-C15:0
G (9.0%), C15:0 ω6c (7.4%), iso-C15:0 (7.4%), and iso-C16:0 (5.3%).
The major respiratory quinone and polyamine were MK-6 and
sym-homospermidine, respectively. The major polar lipids
were phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminophospholipid,
and an unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content
of strain IMCC34762T was 34.4 mol%. Based on the taxonomic
data presented in this study, strain IMCC34762T represents
a novel species within the genus Flavobacterium, for which
the name Flavobacterium aquariorum, sp. nov. is proposed.
The type strain is IMCC34762T (= KACC 19725T = NBRC
113425T).

A non-motile, pink-pigmented bacterial strain designated
IMCC25679T, was isolated from freshwater Lake Chungju of
Korea. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences
showed that the strain IMCC25679T formed a lineage within
the genus Pedobacter. The strain IMCC25679T was closely
related to Pedobacter daechungensis Dae 13T (96.4% sequence
similarity), Pedobacter rivuli HME8457T (95.3%) and Pedobacter
lentus DS-40T (94.3%). The major fatty acids of IMCC-
25679T were iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0 and summed feature 3 (comprising
C16:1 ω6c and/or C16:1 ω7c). The major respiratory quinone
was MK-7. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine
(PE), an unidentified sphingolipid (SL), an
unidentified aminolipid (AL) and three unidentified polar
lipids (PL). The DNA G + C content of IMCC25679T was 32.2
mol%. Based on the evidence presented in this study, the
strain IMCC25679T represents a novel species within the genus
Pedobacter, with the proposed name Pedobacter aquicola,
sp. nov. The type strain is IMCC25679T (= KACC 19486T
= NBRC113131T).

Abstract

A novel species belonging to the genus Grimontia is described
in this study. A Gram-negative, chemoheterotrophic, obligately
aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, motile by a
single polar flagellum, and rod-shaped bacterium, designated
IMCC5001T, was isolated from surface seawater of
the Yellow Sea. Strain IMCC5001T grew optimally at 30°C
in the presence of 3.5% NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based
on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the isolate was
related most closely to Grimontia hollisae with a sequence
similarity of 95.8%, and formed a robust phyletic lineage
with Grimontia hollisae. Differential physiological characteristics
between the new strain and Grimontia hollisae
KCCM 41680T and chemotaxonomic characterization including
determination of DNA G+C content, fatty acid methyl
esters, quinone composition, and polar lipid profiles justified
the assignment of strain IMCC5001T to the genus Grimontia
as a novel species. In conclusion, strain IMCC5001T represents
a new species, for which the name Grimontia marina sp.
nov. is proposed, with the type strain IMCC5001T (=KCTC
22666T =NBRC 105794T).

Abstract
PDF
-
A new approach for enrichment culture was applied to obtain cold-active protease-producing bacteria for marine and terrestrial samples from Svalbard, Norway. The method was developed for the enrichment of bacteria by long-term incubation at low temperatures in semi-solid agar medium containing meat pieces as the main source of carbon and energy. ZoBell and 0.1× nutrient broth were added for marine and terrestrial microorganisms, respectively, to supply basal elements for growth. One to three types of colonies were observed from each enrichment culture, indicating that specific bacterial species were enriched during the experimental conditions. Among 89 bacterial isolates, protease activity was observed from 48 isolates in the screening media containing skim milk. Good growth was observed at 4°C and 10°C while none of the isolates could grow at 37°C. At low temperatures, enzyme activity was equal to or higher than activity at higher temperatures. Bacterial isolates were included in the genera Pseudoalteromonas (33 isolates), Arthrobacter (24 isolates), Pseudomonas (16 isolates), Psychrobacter (6 isolates), Sphingobacterium (6 isolates), Flavobacterium (2 isolates), Sporosarcina (1 isolate), and Stenotrophomonas (1 isolate). Protease activity was observed from Pseudoalteromonas (33 isolates), Pseudomonas (10 isolates), Arthrobacter (4 isolates), and Flavobacterium (1 isolate).

A marine bacterium, designated IMCC3175T, was isolated from a seawater sample collected off the Antarctic coast. The strain was Gram-negative, obligately aerobic, carotenoid pigment-containing, and rod-shaped bacterium that divided by binary fission. As determined by 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, the most
closely related genera were Formosa (92.9~93.3%), Bizionia (91.6~93.2%), Gaetbulibacter (91.5~92.8%), Sediminibacter (92.7%), Yeosuana (92.6%), Subsaximicrobium (92.1~92.2%), and Gillisia (89.5~92.2%). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain formed a monophyletic clade together with the genera Sediminibacter and Subsaximicrobium but represented an independent phyletic line in this clade of the family Flavobacteriaceae. The DNA G+C content of the strain was 37.3 mol%. The
major respiratory quinone was MK-6 and the predominant cellular fatty acids were C16:1 ω7c and/or iso-C15:0 2-OH (12.8%), anteiso-C15:0 (9.4%), and iso-C16:1 (9.4%). Low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, formation of a distinct phylogenetic branch, and several phenotypic characteristics, including a narrow range of temperature and salinity for growth, differentiated strain IMCC3175T from other related genera in the family Flavobacteriaceae. Therefore the name Antarcticimonas flava gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed, with strain IMCC3175T (=KCCM 42713T =NBRC 103398T) as the type strain.

Microbial ecology is the study of microorganisms present in
nature. It particularly focuses on microbial interactions with
any biota and with surrounding environments. Microbial
ecology is entering its golden age with innovative multi-omics
methods
triggered by next-generation sequencing technologies.
However, the extraction of ecologically relevant information
from ever-increasing omics data remains one of
the most challenging tasks in microbial ecology. This special
issue includes 11 review articles that provide an overview of
the state of the art of omics-based approaches in the field of
microbial ecology, with particular emphasis on the interpretation
of omics data, environmental pollution tracking,
interactions in microbiomes, and viral ecology.
