Species of the genus Prosthecomicrobium are noted for their numerous cellular appendages or prosthecae that extend from the cells. This investigation confirms that the genus is polyphyletic based on an extensive analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of several named species of the genus. The analyses indicate that some Prosthecomicrobium species are more closely related to non-prosthecate genera, including Devosia, Labrenzia, Blastochloris, Methylosinus, Mesorhizobium and Kaistia, than they…

Devosia confluentis sp. nov., isolated from the junction between the ocean and a freshwater lake, and reclassification of two Vasilyevaea species as Devosia enhydra comb. nov. and Devosia mishustinii comb. nov.
TLDR
Strain HJR-2T (=KCTC 52211T=NBRC 112271T) is considered to be the type strain of a novel species of the genus Devosia, for which the name Devosiaconfluentis nov. is proposed.
Lutibaculum baratangense gen. nov., sp. nov., a proteobacterium isolated from a mud volcano.
TLDR
Phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics suggest that strain AMV1(T) is a representative of a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Lutibaculum baratangense gen. nov. is proposed.
Methyloterrigena soli gen. nov., sp. nov., a methanol-utilizing bacterium isolated from chloroethylene-contaminated soil.
TLDR
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, short rod-shaped and motile bacterial strain, isolated from a soil sample contaminated with chloroethylene compounds, represents a novel species of a new genus within the family Hyphomicrobiaceae, for which the name Methyloterrigena soli gen. nov. is proposed.
Siculibacillus lacustris gen. nov., sp. nov., a new rosette-forming bacterium isolated from a freshwater crater lake (Lake St. Ana, Romania).
TLDR
On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular data, strain SA-279T is considered to represent a new genus and species within the family Ancalomicrobiaceae, for which the name Siculibacillus lacustris gen. nov., sp.
Devosia humi sp. nov., isolated from soil of a Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) garden.
TLDR
The combined phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data showed that strain THG-MM1T represents a novel species of the genus Devosia, for which the nameDevosia humi sp.
Youhaiella tibetensis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from subsurface sediment.
TLDR
Based on the phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic data, strain fig4(T) is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus in the family Hyphomicrobiaceae, for which the name Youhaiella tibetensis gen. nov. is proposed.
Analysis of 1,000+ Type-Strain Genomes Substantially Improves Taxonomic Classification of Alphaproteobacteria
TLDR
Draft genome sequences of a collection of genomes of more than 1000 Alphaproteobacteria and outgroup type strains were used to infer phylogenetic trees from genome-scale data using the principles drawn from phylogenetic systematics, and the majority of taxa were found to be monophyletic.
Paradevosia shaoguanensis gen. nov., sp. nov., Isolated from a Coking Wastewater
TLDR
Strain J5-3T is considered to represent a novel species of a novel genus within the family Hyphomicrobiaceae, for which the name Paradevosia shaoguanensis gen. nov. is proposed.
Polar growth in the Alphaproteobacterial order Rhizobiales
TLDR
It is found that unipolar growth is an ancestral and conserved trait among the Rhizobiales, which includes important mutualists and pathogens of plants and animals.
Correction for “ Polar growth in the Alphaproteobacterial order Rhizobiales

TLDR
Three strains of multiply appendaged prosthecate bacteria have been isolated and a new species, Prosthecomicrobium litoralum, is proposed, which is consistent with their being indigenous to marine environments.

The Genera Prosthecomicrobium and Ancalomicrobium
TLDR
Multiple-appendaged bacteria were first reported in nature when samples from soils and aquatic habitats were examined with the electron microscope and isolates of Prosthecomicrobium and AncalomicroBium have been obtained primarily from freshwater environments.
