松墨天牛成虫对幼虫虫粪挥发性物质的触角电位反应及林间驱避试验

为了研制松墨天牛Monochamus alternatus Hope驱避剂,本文利用触角电位技术和田间试验的方法研究了松墨天牛雌雄成虫对幼虫虫粪挥发性物质的触角电位反应及幼虫虫粪己烷提取物、合成化合物混合物的林间驱避作用。结果表明：α-蒎烯、β-蒎烯、3-蒈烯、柠檬烯和长叶烯均能引起松墨天牛雌雄成虫一定的触角电生理反应,而4-甲基-2,6-二叔丁基苯酚不能引起松墨天牛雌雄成虫的触角电生理反应。林间驱避试验结果说明,幼虫虫粪的己烷提取物处理过的树干上的刻槽数明显少于对照树干上的刻槽数,二者具有极显著差异;有合成化合物的混合物存在的诱捕器诱捕到的雌虫数（平均值3.80±1.02）与对照诱捕到的雌虫数（平均值16.80±1.16）差异极显著。结果显示α-蒎烯、β-蒎烯、3-蒈烯、柠檬烯、长叶烯和4-甲基-2,6-二叔丁基苯酚的混合物对松墨天牛雌虫具有驱避作用,有望开发出一类新的驱避剂。     

桑天牛卵啮小蜂雌蜂对茉莉酸诱导的桑枝挥发物的触角电位和嗅觉反应

【目的】明确桑天牛卵啮小蜂Aprostocetus prolixus雌蜂对茉莉酸诱导的桑Morus alba枝挥发物的触角电位和嗅觉反应,有利于揭示茉莉酸诱导桑枝产生间接抗性的化学机制。【方法】采用动态顶空气体法收集茉莉酸处理后的桑枝挥发物,分别通过气相色谱-触角电位联用仪(GC-EAD)和气相色谱/质谱联用仪(GC/MS)筛选和鉴定对桑天牛卵啮小蜂雌蜂有EAD活性的化合物,并比较这些活性组分的释放速率在茉莉酸处理桑枝与蒸馏水处理的对照桑枝间的差异,最后利用Y-型嗅觉测定仪明确对该寄生蜂有引诱活性的组分。【结果】桑枝经茉莉酸处理后,其挥发物中的Z-3-己烯醇、γ-萜品烯、β-水芹烯、紫苏烯、水杨酸甲酯及3种未知化合物使桑天牛卵啮小蜂雌蜂产生明显的EAD反应,并且β-水芹烯、紫苏烯和水杨酸甲酯的释放量明显高于对照,其中β-水芹烯和紫苏烯仅存在于茉莉酸处理后桑枝的挥发物中,而Z-3-己烯醇的释放速率与对照无显著差异。0.1%β-水芹烯、0.1%紫苏烯以及0.01%和0.001%水杨酸甲酯对该蜂雌蜂具有显著的引诱作用。【结论】结果提示,茉莉酸促进桑枝大量释放β-水芹烯、紫苏烯和水杨酸甲酯,是茉莉酸诱导桑树对桑天牛产生间接抗性的重要机制。     

星天牛对青皮垂柳挥发物的电生理及行为反应

【目的】考察星天牛Anoplophora chinensis对不同生理状态青皮垂柳Salix ohsidare挥发物的选择偏好性,深入探究星天牛对虫害青皮垂柳与健康青皮垂柳行为选择差异的原因。【方法】利用动态顶空吸附法,分别收集虫害和健康两种生理状态下的青皮垂柳枝条挥发物,通过气相色谱 质谱联用仪(GC-MS)对收集的挥发物样品进行鉴定与分析,采用触角电位仪(EAG)和Y型嗅觉仪分别分析星天牛对挥发物样品中鉴定的主要化合物的标准化合物的电生理以及行为反应,通过大笼行为实验和林间诱捕试验分析单一挥发性化合物及其双组分和三组分配方对星天牛成虫的诱捕效果。【结果】健康青皮垂柳枝条挥发物中共鉴定出3种主要化合物,包括α-蒎烯、3-蒈烯和樟脑,而虫害青皮垂柳枝条挥发物中鉴定出5种主要化合物包括α-蒎烯、β-蒎烯、3-蒈烯、β-罗勒烯和樟脑。另外虫害青皮垂柳枝条挥发物中的樟脑含量显著高于健康青皮垂柳枝条中的,3-蒈烯在两种挥发物中含量差异不显著,而健康青皮垂柳枝条挥发物中的α-蒎烯含量显著高于虫害青皮垂柳枝条中的。EAG实验表明,星天牛成虫对α-蒎烯、3-蒈烯和β-罗勒烯3种化合物的EAG反应相对值较高,并且随这3个化合物浓度的升高而逐渐增大;星天牛成虫对β-蒎烯和樟脑的EAG反应相对值差异不大,且这2个化合物浓度变化对EAG反应相对值无明显影响。Y型嗅觉仪实验表明,在1 mg/mL浓度下,α-蒎烯、3-蒈烯和β-罗勒烯吸引星天牛雄成虫数量均显著高于对照组（石蜡油）,β-罗勒烯吸引的星天牛雌成虫数量显著高于对照组;在10 mg/mL浓度下,3-蒈烯吸引的星天牛雄成虫数量显著高于对照组。大笼行为实验表明,三组分虫害配方D(α-蒎烯∶3-蒈烯∶β-罗勒烯=42∶30∶103)、α-蒎烯和β-罗勒烯吸引的星天牛成虫数量最多,显著高于双组分健康配方H(α-蒎烯∶3-蒈烯=105∶38)和3-蒈烯吸引的成虫数量。林间诱捕试验表明,α-蒎烯和虫害配方D对星天牛成虫的诱捕效果最好,诱捕的成虫数显著高于β-罗勒烯和健康配方H诱捕的成虫数,而3-蒈烯和空白对照组没有诱捕到星天牛成虫。【结论】虫害和健康青皮垂柳枝条挥发物中共有的α-蒎烯和虫害青皮垂柳枝条挥发物中特有的β-罗勒烯是对星天牛成虫具有引诱作用的两种重要寄主植物挥发性化合物,而3-蒈烯抑制了α-蒎烯对星天牛成虫的引诱作用。我们推测,虫害青皮垂柳挥发物中特有的β 罗勒烯是造成虫害青皮垂柳比健康青皮垂柳更容易受到星天牛危害的原因之一。     

红缘天牛成虫对杏树挥发物的生理和行为反应

为了研究红缘天牛成虫对寄主植物杏树衰弱树及木段挥发物的生理及行为反应,本文用6种挥发物,分别以不同浓度的单一组份对红缘天牛进行了电生理和行为测试;又在这6种单组份化合物对天牛行为选择表现为引诱活性的浓度范围内选择EAG值最高的浓度,以4-6种化合物等体积制成7种组合配方进行EAG和行为测试。结果表明:单一组份R-柠檬烯、反-2-己烯醛、丁酸丁酯、S-柠檬烯、异戊醇和3-蒈烯等6种单一化合物在预设的8个浓度梯度范围内,都能引起红缘天牛产生一定的生理反应,但行为选择实验的结果没有统计学意义。7种组合配方中,R4对红缘天牛成虫引诱活性最强(P0.01),引诱率达到76.67%,R1次之(P0.05),R4与R1的区别在于增加了丁酸丁酯;即丁酸丁酯在R4配方中具有明显的增效作用。

【目的】为研究西藏簇角缨象天牛Cacia cretifera thibetana雌雄成虫对寄主核桃树释放的7种挥发性化合物的电生理反应和嗅觉行为反应。【方法】选取寄主三台核桃Juglans sigillata var Santai树释放的7种挥发性成分分别对西藏簇角缨象天牛进行触角电位EAG和"Y"型嗅觉仪行为反应测定。【结果】EAG测试结果表明,7种化合物在测试浓度范围内均能引起西藏簇角缨象天牛雌雄成虫的EAG反应。当化合物的浓度为0.000 4 mol×L~(-1)时,天牛成虫的EAG反应最弱,当化合物浓度为0.4 mol×L~(-1)时,天牛的EAG反应最强,其中对壬醛的EAG反应相对值最大,分别为1.84和1.74。"Y"型嗅觉行为反应测试表明,在测试浓度范围内,α-蒎烯、β-蒎烯、1-石竹烯、壬醛、桉叶油醇和反式-2-己烯醛6种化合物对天牛雌雄成虫具有引诱作用,正己醛对天牛雌雄成虫具有趋避作用;当浓度为2 mol×L~(-1)时,壬醛对雌性天牛成虫、β-蒎烯对雄性天牛成虫的引诱率最高,分别为95%和87%,正己醛对天牛雌雄成虫的趋避率最高为87%和78%。【结论】核桃树释放的7种化合物均能引起西藏簇角缨象天牛雌、雄成虫的EAG反应,且α-蒎烯、β-蒎烯、1-石竹烯、壬醛、桉叶油醇和反式-2-己烯醛对天牛雌雄成虫具有引诱作用,正己醛有趋避作用。该研究结果可为西藏簇角缨象天牛林间引诱剂的研发提供一定的理论依据。     

桑天牛虫体提取物的成分及其在两性通讯中的作用

为明确桑天牛成虫释放的化学信息素成分及其在两性通讯中的作用,利用气质联用仪(GC-MS)分析了桑天牛整体及其腹末组织提取物的化学成分,采用Y型嗅觉仪测定雌雄成虫对5种主要提取物标准品的嗅觉反应,以及雌雄虫对涂抹标准品的洗脱同性与异性成虫的接触反应。结果表明: 桑天牛雌雄成虫整体及其腹末组织提取物化学成分主要为10个碳以上的烷烃和烯烃,其中顺-9-二十三碳烯含量最高,其次为二十七烷、二十九烷、十九碳烯、二十八烷和9-己基-十七烷等,以及少量醛类和酯类物质。嗅觉行为反应结果显示,二十九烷对雌雄虫的引诱作用显著,二十七烷仅对雌虫有显著的引诱作用,而十九碳烯则对雌成虫产生显著的驱避作用,1-二十二碳烯和顺-9-二十三碳烯对桑天牛雌雄虫作用不明显。接触反应结果显示,雄虫对涂抹1-二十二碳烯、二十七烷和二十九烷的洗脱成虫表现出明显的求偶行为,而雌虫仅对涂抹二十九烷的洗脱成虫表现出明显的求偶行为。综合分析发现,1-二十二碳烯、二十七烷和二十九烷是桑天牛性信息素的重要组分,在两性通讯中起重要作用。     

红树林植物无瓣海桑内生真菌Neofusicoccum sp.SaBA3次级代谢产物的研究

采用硅胶MPLC、Sephadex LH-20凝胶柱色谱、常压硅胶柱色谱以及PTLC等方法从红树植物无瓣海桑内生真菌Neofusicoccum sp.SaBA3的大米发酵物中分离到8个化合物,通过波谱数据、理化性质及文献对照分别鉴定为:(3S*,4S*)-3,4-二氢-3,4,8-三羟基-7-乙基-6-甲氧基萘-1-酮(1),4,7-二甲氧基-5-甲基香豆素(2),麦角甾-5,7,22-三烯-3β-醇(3),麦角甾-6,2-二烯-5α,8α-环二氧-3-醇(4),麦角甾醇-5-烯-3-酮(5),3β-羟基-胆甾醇(6),邻苯二甲酸二甲酯(7),尿嘧啶(8)。除化合物1外,其余化合物均首次从Neofusicoccum属中分离得到。     

聚集信息素和寄主植物挥发物对光肩星天牛和星天牛的引诱作用

【目的】光肩星天牛Anoplophora glabripennis和星天牛A.chinensis经常混合发生,危害共同的寄主,且共享相同的聚集信息素。本研究旨在评价聚集信息素和寄主植物挥发物对这两种星天牛的引诱作用。【方法】通过取食面积法,测定了两种星天牛对复叶槭Acer negundo、青皮垂柳Salix babylonica和苦楝Media azedarach 3种寄主枝条的室内取食偏好性;采用动态顶空吸附法结合气相色谱-质谱联用技术(GC-MS)分析了寄主植物挥发物成分;通过在浙江余姚和慈溪的野外诱捕试验,分析了聚集信息素和植物挥发物对两种星天牛的诱捕效果。【结果】室内选择性和非选择性取食试验结果都显示,光肩星天牛最喜食的寄主植物是复叶槭,其次是青皮垂柳,再次是苦楝;而星天牛对这3种寄主植物的选择顺序与光肩星天牛相反,最喜食苦楝,其次是青皮垂柳,再次是复叶槭。寄主植物挥发物成分中,以萜烯类和芳香族化合物居多,每种寄主挥发物都有几种特有的成分,且不同寄主植物的挥发物中多种成分之间存在显著性差异。野外林间诱捕试验结果显示,聚集信息素与苦楝混合配方MK(4-庚氧基丁醇+4-庚氧基丁醛+莰烯+顺-3-己烯-1-醇+罗勒烯+β-石竹烯)、聚集信息素M(4-庚氧基丁醇+4-庚氧基丁醛)、苦楝配方K(莰烯+顺-3-己烯-1-醇+罗勒烯+β-石竹烯)和柳树配方L(壬醛)都同时诱捕到了光肩星天牛和星天牛。其中,聚集信息素与苦楝混合配方MK对光肩星天牛和星天牛的诱捕效果最好,都表现出比单独使用信息素或者植物挥发物更高的诱捕效果;聚集信息素诱捕到的光肩星天牛和星天牛中雌虫比例更高,而植物挥发物诱捕到的光肩星天牛和星天牛中雄虫比例更高。【结论】本研究进一步证实了聚集信息素4-庚氧基丁醇和4-庚氧基丁醛是光肩星天牛和星天牛共享的信息素;同时,壬醛、莰烯、顺-3-己烯-1-醇、罗勒烯和β-石竹烯是光肩星天牛和星天牛共享的植物挥发物。聚集信息素和植物挥发物联合使用可以应用于光肩星天牛和星天牛的林间监测技术。     

槐绿虎天牛对柠条锦鸡儿6种挥发物的EAG和行为反应

【目的】为了研究槐绿虎天牛Chlorophorus diadema(Motschulsky)对主要寄主植物柠条锦鸡儿Caragana kroshinskii(Kom.)挥发物中醇类、醛类、烷类、酯类和萜烯类共5类6种化合物的生物活性。【方法】采用EAG和嗅觉行为生测技术,测定槐绿虎天牛雌雄虫对1-癸醇、正壬醛、正十六烷、乙酸-2-乙基丁酯、1-十六烯和1-辛烯6种化合物单一组分8个浓度梯度及其20种组合配方的电生理和嗅觉行为反应。【结果】结果表明,槐绿虎天牛雌雄虫对单一化合物和组合配方的EAG反应值与嗅觉行为反应选择率的变化趋势基本一致。组合配方中,雌雄虫均对S、P、Q、H、I和B 6种配方的引诱活性与对照的差异性具有统计意义(P<0.05)。【结论】(1)组合配方明显较单一组分配方对槐绿虎天牛的引诱效果好;(2)由1-癸醇、正十六烷和正壬醛组成的S配方引诱效果最好;(3)1-癸醇、正十六烷、正壬醛和1-十六烯4种化合物的最适浓度可以作为槐绿虎天牛植物源引诱剂的成分作进一步的研究。     

光肩星天牛对4种不同槭树科寄主植物的选择机制

用动态顶空采集法、TCT-GC-MS分析鉴定了复叶槭、五角枫、华北五角枫、挪威槭等4种槭树科植物挥发物的种类和相对含量,测定结果显示：4种植物的化学指纹图谱明显不同。“Y”型嗅觉行为测定结果表明,不同植物的挥发物对光肩星天牛的引诱效果不同：复叶槭对光肩星天牛的引诱效果最好,其次为五角枫,均达到了差异显著的程度,华北五角枫对光肩星天牛有引诱作用,但未达到显著程度,挪威槭对光肩星天牛既无引诱作用又无驱避作用。数据分析发现,五角枫、华北五角枫和挪威槭较复叶槭引诱作用差的原因可能与五角枫、华北五角枫中含有对光肩星天牛的驱避组分罗勒烯和反-2-己烯醇、挪威槭中含有对光肩星天牛的驱避组分（E）-1-戊烯-3-醇、反-2-己烯醇和trans-香叶基丙酮有关;在4种植物中醇类化合物、酮类和醛类化合物相对含量的排列顺序与植物的抗性顺序相同,而烷烃类和酯类化合物含量的排列顺序与植物的抗性顺序相反;复叶槭咬食程度轻的原因可能与其叶表面具有较少的表皮毛有关。     

Plant-Parasitic Nematodes of South Viet Nam

Between 1974 and 1978, 2,842 identifications of plant-parasitic nematodes were made from more than 1,700 soil and plant samples collected in eight provinces of South Viet Nam. Species in nine genera—Helicotylenchus, Criconemoides, Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, Tylenchorhynchus, Hoplolaimus, Hirschmanniella, Xiphinema, and Rotylenchulus—comprised 96.1% of the identifications; the remaining 3.9% were species of 11 genera. Fourteen genera were associated with rice which was grown on about 2,500,000 ha in 1970. Of these, Ditylenchus, Hirschmanniella, and Meloidogyne were most important. Ditylenchus angustus caused severe damage to about 50,000 ha of flooded rice in the Mekong Delta in 1976. Hirschmanniella spp. were found in all samples examined from flooded rice fields. Meloidogyne spp. were common in rice seedbeds, upland rice, and rice not kept flooded continuously. Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus spp. were found in roots of 22 of the 32 crop plants sampled. Little or no attempt was made in South Viet Nam to control nematodes.     

Study of types of some species of "Filaria" (Nematoda) parasites of small mammals described by Von Linstow and Molin

Parasitic nematodes from the Berlin (ZMB) and Vienna (NMW) Museum collections referred to the genus Filaria Mueller, 1787 by von Linstow or Molin were studied. Three samples were in good condition and the specimens redescribed. Litomosa hepatica (von Linstow, 1897) n. comb., sample ZMB Vermes Entozoa 3368, from the megachiropteran Pteropus neohibernicus, Bismarck Archipelago, resembles L. maki Tibayrenc, Bain & Ramanchandran, 1979, from Pteropus vampyrus, in Malaysia, but the buccal capsule differs. Both species display particular morphological characters which differ from species of Litomosa parasitic in microchiropterans. The remaining material originates from Brazil. The spicule morphology of Litomosoides circularis (von Linstow, 1899) Chandler, 1931, sample ZMB Vermes Entozoa 1059 from Hesperomys spec. (= Holochilus brasiliensis), Porto Alegre, confirms that it belongs to the sigmodontis group; the microfilaria presents characters of the genus Litomosoides, e.g. body attenuated at both extremities and salient cephalic hook. Taxonomic discussions by others confirm that species of Litomosoides belonging to the sigmodontis group and described subsequently are distinct from L. circularis. Litomosoides serpicula (Molin, 1858) Guerrero, Martin, Gardner & Bain, 2002, is redescribed, sample NMW 6323 from the bat Phyllostoma spiculatum (= Sturnira lilium), Ypanema. It is very close to L. brasiliensis Almeida, 1936, type host Moytis sp., but distinguished by a single ring in the buccal capsule, rather than two, supporting previous conclusions that the taxon L. brasiliensis, as generally regarded, may represent a complex of species. Samples NMW 6322 and NMW 6324, from other bats and also identified by Molin (1858) as Filaria serpicula, contain unidentifiable fragments of Litomosoides incertae sedis. Filaria hyalina von Linstow, 1890, sample ZMB Vermes Entozoa Q 3905 from Sorer vulgaris (= Sorex araneus), is incertae sedis because it contains two unidentifiable posterior parts of male, which might be an acuarid, Stammerinema sp. Filaria vesperuginis von Linstow, 1885, sample ZMB Vermes Entozoa Q 3929, from the bat Vesperugo serotinus (= Eptesicus serotinus), contains encysted nematode larvae and is a nomen dubium.     

Multilocus phylogenetic analysis of the genus Aeromonas

A broad multilocus phylogenetic analysis (MLPA) of the representative diversity of a genus offers the opportunity to incorporate concatenated inter-species phylogenies into bacterial systematics. Recent analyses based on single housekeeping genes have provided coherent phylogenies of Aeromonas. However, to date, a multi-gene phylogenetic analysis has never been tackled. In the present study, the intra- and inter-species phylogenetic relationships of 115 strains representing all Aeromonas species described to date were investigated by MLPA. The study included the independent analysis of seven single gene fragments (gyrB, rpoD, recA, dnaJ, gyrA, dnaX, and atpD), and the tree resulting from the concatenated 4705 bp sequence. The phylogenies obtained were consistent with each other, and clustering agreed with the Aeromonas taxonomy recognized to date. The highest clustering robustness was found for the concatenated tree (i.e. all Aeromonas species split into 100% bootstrap clusters). Both possible chronometric distortions and poor resolution encountered when using single-gene analysis were buffered in the concatenated MLPA tree. However, reliable phylogenetic species delineation required an MLPA including several “bona fide” strains representing all described species.     

Fate map of the distal portion of Drosophila proboscis as inferred from the expression and mutations of basic patterning genes

The late-third-instar labial disc is comprised of two disc-proper cell layers, one representing mainly the ventral half of the anterior compartment (L-layer) and the other, the dorsal half of the anterior compartment and most, if not all, of the posterior compartment (M-layer). In the L-layer, Distal-less represses homothorax whereas no Distal-less-dependent homothorax repression occurs in the M-layer where Distal-less is coexpressed with homothorax. In wild-type labial discs, clawless, one of the two homeobox genes expressed in distal cells receiving maximum (Decapentaplegic+Wingless) signaling activity in leg and antennal discs, is specifically repressed by proboscipedia. A fate map, inferred from data on basic patterning gene expression in larval and pupal stages and mutant phenotypes, indicates the inner surface of the labial palpus, which includes the pseudotracheal region, to be a derivative of the distal portion of the M-layer expressing wingless, patched, Distal-less and homothorax. The outer surface of the labial palpus with more than 30 taste bristles derives from an L-layer area consisting of dorsal portions of the anterior and posterior compartments, each expressing Distal-less. Our analysis also indicates that, in adults and pupae, the anterior-posterior boundary, dividing roughly equally the outer surface of the distiproboscis, runs along the outer circumference of the inner surface of distiproboscis.     

Molecular phylogeny of Phoma and allied anamorph genera: Towards a reclassification of the Phoma complex

The present generic concept of Phoma is broadly defined, with nine sections being recognised based on morphological characters. Teleomorph states of Phoma have been described in the genera Didymella, Leptosphaeria, Pleospora and Mycosphaerella, indicating that Phoma anamorphs represent a polyphyletic group. In an attempt to delineate generic boundaries, representative strains of the various Phoma sections and allied coelomycetous genera were included for study. Sequence data of the 18S nrDNA (SSU) and the 28S nrDNA (LSU) regions of 18 Phoma strains included were compared with those of representative strains of 39 allied anamorph genera, including Ascochyta, Coniothyrium, Deuterophoma, Microsphaeropsis, Pleurophoma, Pyrenochaeta, and 11 teleomorph genera. The type species of the Phoma sections Phoma, Phyllostictoides, Sclerophomella, Macrospora and Peyronellaea grouped in a subclade in the Pleosporales with the type species of Ascochyta and Microsphaeropsis. The new family Didymellaceae is proposed to accommodate these Phoma sections and related anamorph genera. The present study demonstrated that Phoma radicina, the type species of Phoma sect. Paraphoma and Phoma heteromorphospora, the type species of Phoma sect. Heterospora can be assigned to the Phaeosphaeriaceae and Leptosphaeriaceae respectively.     

Microbial transformation of zaluzanin-D

Microbial transformation of zaluzanin-D using different fungi gave 11,13-dihydrozaluzanin-C, zaluzanin-C, 4,16,11,13 - tetrahydro zaluzanin-C, estafiatone, dihydroestafiatol and dihydroestafiatone.     

Unification of the genera Nonlabens, Persicivirga, Sandarakinotalea and Stenothermobacter into a single emended genus, Nonlabens, and description of Nonlabens agnitus sp. nov

Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that a bacterial isolate, designated JC2678(T), represents a distinct phyletic line within the suprageneric monophyletic clade containing the genera Nonlabens, Persicivirga, Stenothermobacter and Sandarakinotalea. The polyphasic data presented in this study demonstrated that the members belonging to the Nonlabens-like clade overall constitute a single genus. Therefore, it is proposed to transfer the members of genera Persicivirga O'Sullivan et al. 2006, Stenothermobacter Lau et al. 2006 and Sandarakinotalea Khan et al. 2006 to the genus Nonlabens Lau et al. 2005. Thus, P. dokdonensis (Yoon et al. 2006) Nedashkovskaya et al. 2009, P. ulvanivorans Barbeyron et al. 2010, P. xylanidelens O'Sullivan et al. 2006, Sandarakinotalea sediminis Khan et al. 2006 and Stenothermobacter spongiae Lau et al. 2006 should be transferred to Nonlabens dokdonensis comb. nov., Nonlabens ulvanivorans comb. nov., Nonlabens xylanidelens comb. nov., Nonlabens sediminis comb. nov. and Nonlabens spongiae comb. nov., respectively. In addition, strain JC2678(T) (=KACC 14155(T)=JCM 17109(T)) is proposed to constitute a novel species belonging to the genus Nonlabens with the name of Nonlabens agnitus sp. nov.
