A novel strain, D3^T, isolated from a field-soil sample obtained from Anhui Province, PR China, was characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. The cells were Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented rods devoid of flagella, but showing gliding motility. The organism was able to grow at 5–37 °C and at pH 4.0–10.0. A comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain D3^T is a member of the genus Flavobacterium, sharing highest sequence similarity with the type strain of Flavobacterium defluvii (96.7 %). The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-6 and the predominant fatty acids were iso-C_{15 : 0}, summed feature 3 (C_{16 : 1}7c and/or iso-C_{15 : 0} 2-OH) and C_{16 : 0}. The DNA G+C content was 31.4 mol%. On the basis of phylogenetic and phenotypic data, strain D3^T represents a novel species within the genus Flavobacterium, for which the name Flavobacterium anhuiense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is D3^T (=KCTC 22128^T=CGMCC 1.6859^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain D3^T is EU046269.

Transmission electron micrographs of strain D3^T are available with the online version of this paper.
