A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, Flavobacterium-like bacterial strain, DS-20^T, was isolated from soil from the island of Dokdo, Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain DS-20^T grew optimally at pH 6.5–7.0 and 25 °C. It contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C_{15 : 0}, iso-C_{17 : 0} 3-OH and iso-C_{17 : 1}9c as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 38.2 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DS-20^T belonged to the genus Flavobacterium. Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain DS-20^T and the type strains of recognized Flavobacterium species were below 94.9 %. Strain DS-20^T differed from phylogenetically related Flavobacterium species in several phenotypic characteristics. On the basis of its phenotypic and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain DS-20^T was classified in the genus Flavobacterium as representing a novel species, for which the name Flavobacterium terrigena sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DS-20^T (=KCTC 12761^T=DSM 17934^T).

A table giving Biolog assimilation data for strain DS-20^T is available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
