A taxonomic study was carried out on a bacterial strain, designated KM-45^T, isolated from forest soil collected near Daejeon, South Korea. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated a clear affiliation of this bacterium to the ‘Betaproteobacteria’ and that it was related most closely to Chitinibacter tainanensis BCRC 17254^T, Formivibrio citricus DSM 6150^T and Iodobacter fluviatilis ATCC 33051^T (92·4, 91·2 and 88·9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). Cells were Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile and rod-shaped. The strain grew well on R2A medium and utilized a broad spectrum of carbon sources. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 58 mol% and the predominant ubiquinone was Q-8. Major fatty acids were C_{16 : 0}, C_{16 : 1}7c/iso-C_{15 : 0} 2-OH, C_{18 : 1}7c/9t/12t and C_{17 : 0} cyclo. On the basis of the evidence presented, it is proposed that strain KM-45^T should be placed in a novel genus and species, for which the name Silvimonas terrae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KM-45^T (=KCTC 12358^T=NBRC 100961^T).
