A polyphasic taxonomic approach was employed to characterize a strain designated GPTSA100-9^T, which was isolated from water sampled from a warm spring. The micro-organism, comprising Gram-negative, strictly aerobic rods, could not grow on nutritionally rich media such as tryptic soy broth. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence (1396 nt) of strain GPTSA100-9^T revealed that it is a member of the genus Flavobacterium, sharing 99.8 % sequence similarity with the CFB group bacterium strain A0653 (AF236016), 93.4 % with ‘[Flexibacter] aurantiacus subsp. excathedrus’ and 93.2–92.0 % with Flavobacterium saliperosum, Flavobacterium soli, Flavobacterium aquatile and Flavobacterium columnare. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 31.0 mol%. The major fatty acids of the strain grown on modified R2A agar were iso-C_{15 : 0} (18.5 %), iso-C_{15 : 1} G (18.0 %), summed feature 3 (iso-C_{15 : 0} 2-OH and/or C_{16 : 1}7c, 16.6 %) and iso-C_{17 : 0} 3-OH (9.0 %). On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain GPTSA100-9^T represents a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium, for which the name Flavobacterium indicum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GPTSA100-9^T (=MTCC 6936^T=DSM 17447^T).
