A Gram-negative, almost straight, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated CL-GP79^T, was isolated from a highly eutrophic pond located within the campus of Seoul National University, Korea. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that strain CL-GP79^T belongs to the family Flexibacteraceae, with Flectobacillus major as its closest relative (similarity of 95.7 %). The cellular fatty acids consist mainly of C_{16 : 1}5c (mean±SD, 26.9±10.8 %), iso-C_{15 : 0} 2-OH and/or C_{16 : 1}7c (19.2±2.3 %) and iso-C_{15 : 0} (12.1±1.3 %). The DNA G+C content was found to be 38.3 mol%. Phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses indicated that strain CL-GP79^T could be assigned to the genus Flectobacillus, but could be distinguished from F. major. The strain CL-GP79^T therefore represents a novel species, for which the name Flectobacillus lacus sp. nov. is proposed, with CL-GP79^T (=KCCM 42271^T=JCM 13398^T) as the type strain.

Selected phenotypic characteristics of strain CL-GP79^T and Flectobacillus major DSM 103^T are available in a supplementary table in IJSEM Online.
