<p>The <span>bacterial strains IMB-1</span><span class="jp-sup">T</span><span> and CC495</span><span class="jp-sup">T</span><span>, which are capable of growth on methyl chloride (CH</span><span class="jp-sub">3</span><span>Cl, chloromethane) and methyl bromide (CH</span><span class="jp-sub">3</span><span>Br, bromomethane), were isolated from agricultural soil in California fumigated with CH</span><span class="jp-sub">3</span><span>Br, and woodland soil in Northern Ireland, respectively. Two pesticide-/herbicide-degrading bacteria, strains ER2 and C147, were isolated from agricultural soil in Canada. Strain ER2 degrades </span><span class="jp-italic">N</span><span>-methyl carbamate insecticides, and strain C147 degrades triazine herbicides widely used in agriculture. On the basis of their morphological, physiological and genotypic characteristics, these four strains are considered to represent two novel species of the genus </span><span class="jp-italic">Aminobacter</span><span>, for which the names </span><span class="jp-italic">Aminobacter ciceronei</span><span> sp. nov. (type strain IMB-1</span><span class="jp-sup">T</span><span>=ATCC 202197</span><span class="jp-sup">T</span><span>=CIP 108660</span><span class="jp-sup">T</span><span>=CCUG 50580</span><span class="jp-sup">T</span><span>; strains ER2 and C147) and </span><span class="jp-italic">Aminobacter lissarensis</span><span> sp. nov. (type strain CC495</span><span class="jp-sup">T</span><span>=NCIMB 13798</span><span class="jp-sup">T</span><span>=CIP 108661</span><span class="jp-sup">T</span><span>=CCUG 50579</span><span class="jp-sup">T</span><span>) are proposed.</span></p>
