Strain DCY14T, a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, was isolated from soil from a ginseng field in Korea and was characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain DCY14T belongs to the family Sphingobacteriaceae, the highest degree of sequence similarity being found with respect to Parapedobacter koreensis Jip14T (95.8 %). Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain DCY14T possesses MK-7 as the major menaquinone. The major fatty acids present were anteiso-C13 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 4 (C16 : 1{omega}7c/iso-C15 : 0 2-OH). The results of physiological and biochemical tests clearly demonstrated that strain DCY14T represents a distinct species. On the basis of these data, DCY14T represents a novel species of the genus Parapedobacter, for which the name Parapedobacter soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DCY14T (=KCTC 12984T =LMG 24069T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain DCY14T is EF151805.
