A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (TR6-01^T) was isolated from compost near Daejeon city in South Korea. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain TR6-01^T was shown to belong to the class Gammaproteobacteria, related to Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila (97·1 %) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (96·9 %); the phylogenetic distance from any other established species within the genus Stenotrophomonas was less than 97·0 %. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data (major ubiquinone Q-8; fatty acid profile) supported the affiliation of strain TR6-01^T to the genus Stenotrophomonas. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain TR6-01^T from the five Stenotrophomonas species with validly published names. TR6-01^T therefore represents a novel species, for which the name Stenotrophomonas koreensis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain TR6-01^T (=KCTC 12211^T=JCM 13256^T).

The fatty acid profile of Stenotrophomonas koreensis compared with other Stenotrophomonas species is available as a supplementary table in IJSEM online.
