Strain Dae16^T, a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, was isolated from the soil of a ginseng field in South Korea and characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain Dae16^T belongs to the Gammaproteobacteria and had the highest degree of sequence similarity to Lysobacter gummosus ATCC 29489^T (97·1 %), Lysobacter antibioticus DSM 2044^T (96·6 %), Lysobacter enzymogenes DSM 2043^T (96·2 %), Lysobacter concretionis KCTC 12205^T (94·7 %) and Lysobacter brunescens ATCC 29482^T (93·7 %). Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain Dae16^T possesses a quinone system with Q-8 as the predominant compound and C_{15 : 0} iso, C_{16 : 0} iso and C_{17 : 1} iso 9c as the predominant iso-branched fatty acids, all of which corroborated the assignment of the strain to the genus Lysobacter. Results of DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests clearly demonstrated that strain Dae16^T represents a distinct species. Based on these data, it is proposed that Dae16^T (=KCTC 12204^T=NBRC 101156^T) should be classified as the type strain of a novel Lysobacter species, Lysobacter koreensis sp. nov.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain Dae16^T is AB166878.
