Porella grandiloba Lindb. is a liverwort species of Porellaceae, primarily distributed in East Asia. Here, we determined the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of P. grandiloba. The complete cp genome was 121,433 bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure consisting of a large single-copy region (83,039 bp), a small single-copy region (19,586 bp), and two copies of inverted repeat regions (9,404 bp, each). Genome annotation predicted 131 genes, including 84 protein-coding, 36 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. The maximum likelihood tree indicated that P. grandiloba was sister to P. perrottetiana, which species formed a clade with Radula japonica (Radulaceae).

DESCRIPTION OF ARACHIDICOCCUS SOLISP. NOV. Arachidicoccus soli (so��� li. L. gen. n. soli of soil). Cells are aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped (0.5���0.6 ��m wide and 1.3���10 ��m long). Colonies grown at 28 ��C on R2A agar for 2 days are light yellow, round and convex. Growth occurs at 10���33 ��C, pH 6.0���7.5 and with 0���4 % NaCl (w/v). Tests for catalase and oxidase are negative. Tyrosine is hydrolysed, but casein, CM-cellulose, hypozanthine, DNA and Tween 80 are not. Positive for aesculin hydrolysis and �� -galactosidase, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease and gelatin hydrolysis. Assimilates D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetylglucosamine, maltose, L-rhamnose and L-proline, but does not assimilate D-mannitol, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, phenylacetic acid, D-ribose, inositol, sucrose, itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, sodium acetate, lactic acid, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, salicin, melibiose, L-fucose,D-sorbitol, propionic acid, valeric acid, L-histidine, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. Positive activities for alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4), leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, ��-galactosidase, �� -glucuronidase, ��-glucosidase, N - acetyl�� -glucosaminidase and ��-fucosidase, but negative activities for esterase lipase (C8), lipase (C14), trypsin, ��-chymotrypsin, �� -glucosidase and ��-mannosidase. The major respiratory quinone is MK-7. Polar lipids consist of phosphatidylethanolamine, four unknown aminolipids and three unknown lipids. The major fatty acids are iso-C 15:0, iso-C 17:0 3-OH and iso-C 15:1 G. The major polyamines were homospermidine and putrescine. The genomic DNA G+C content of the type strain is 36.4mol%. Data was taken from a, Madhaiyan et al. [1], b, Siddiqi et al. [2], and c, Siddiqi et al. [3]. *Summed features are groups of two or three fatty acids that cannot be separated by the MIDI system. Summed feature 2 comprised C12:0 aldehyde and/or unknown equivalent chain length (ECL) 10.928 and/or C14:0 3-OH and/or iso-C16:1 I. Summed feature 3 comprised C16:1 �� 6 c and/or C16:1 �� 7 c. The type strain, KIS59-12 T (= KACC 17340 T = NBRC 113161 T), was isolated from a soil sample collected on Hodo island, Boryeong, Chungcheongnam-do Province, Republic of Korea. The GenBank / EMBL / DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequence and the genome sequence of strain KIS59-12 T are MH 933978 and CP032489, respectively., Published as part of Lee, Shin Ae, Kim, Tae-Wan, Sang, Mee-Kyung, Song, Jaekyeong, Kwon, Soon-Wo & Weon, Hang-Yeon, 2021, Arachidicoccus soli sp. nov., a bacterium isolated from soil, pp. 1-6 in International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (004566) (004566) 71 (1) on pages 4-5, DOI: 10.1099/ijsem.0.004566, http://zenodo.org/record/6048702, {"references":["1.
