<i>Curvibacter soli</i> sp. nov., <i>Extensimonas soli</i> sp. nov., <i>Pseudarthrobacter naphthalenicus</i> sp. nov. and <i>Terripilifer ovatus</i> gen. nov., sp. nov., four new species isolated from polluted soil.

ABSTRACT: A taxonomic study was conducted on four bacterial strains isolated from the soil of a coking plant. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the four strains belonged to three families: Comamonadaceae, Micrococcaceae and Roseiarcaceae. Identification of the 16S rRNA gene exhibited that their sequence similarities were between 94.96 and 98.98% when compared to known and validly nominated species. Their genomes ranged from 3.4 to 7.2 Mb, with DNA G+C molar contents varying from 62.3 to 67.2%. The average nucleotide identities ranged from 71.4 to 92.3%, and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values were 19.7-47.0% when comparing them with closely related type species, supporting the classification of these four strains. Functional analysis demonstrated that strain H3Y2-7^T
