A bacterial strain (designated BB4^T), which has -glucosidase activity, was isolated from soil around the roots of bamboo plants. Cells were Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile and straight-rod-shaped. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed a clear affiliation with members of the family ‘Xanthomonadaceae’. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain BB4^T showed the following sequence similarities: 97·7 % to Dyella japonica XD53^T, 97·1 % to Frateuria aurantia LMG 1558^T, 96·2 % to Fulvimonas soli LMG 19981^T, 94·3 % to Rhodanobacter lindaniclasticus RP5575^T and <90 % to other members of the ‘Gammaproteobacteria’. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 63·8 mol%. The major fatty acids were branched forms, especially large proportions of iso-C_{15 : 0}, iso-C_{17 : 0} and iso-C_{17 : 1}9c, similar to the profile of the genus Dyella. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization with D. japonica XD53^T and Frateuria aurantia LMG 1558^T, in combination with phenotypic characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, demonstrated that strain BB4^T should be classified as a novel Dyella species. The name Dyella koreensis sp. nov. is proposed, with strain BB4^T (=KCTC 12359^T=NBRC 100831^T) as the type strain.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain BB4^T is AY884571.
