Strain Jip14^T, a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, was isolated from dried rice straw and characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain Jip14^T belongs to the family Sphingobacteriaceae, and the highest degree of sequence similarity was determined to be to Pedobacter saltans DSM 12145^T (88.5 %), Pedobacter africanus DSM 12126^T (87.6 %), Pedobacter heparinus DSM 2366^T (87.1 %) and Pedobacter caeni LMG 22862^T (86.9 %). Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain Jip14^T possesses menaquinone MK-7 and the predominant fatty acids C_{15 : 0} iso, C_{16 : 0}, C_{16 : 0} 10-methyl, C_{17 : 0} iso 3-OH and summed feature 3 (C_{15 : 0} iso 2-OH/C_{16 : 1}7c). The results of physiological and biochemical tests clearly demonstrated that strain Jip14^T represents a distinct species. Based on these data, Jip14^T should be classified within a novel genus and species, for which the name Parapedobacter koreensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Parapedobacter koreensis is Jip14^T (=KCTC 12643^T=LMG 23493^T).
