An aerobic, yellow-pigmented, facultative methylotrophic, Gram-staining-negative, non-spore-forming bacterium, motile by gliding, designated strain Gm-149T, was isolated from the rhizosphere of cultivated soybean in India. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (comprising iso-C15: 0 2-OH and/or C16: 17c), C16:0 3OH and anteiso-C15:0 and it contained the major isoprenoid quinone was MK-6. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 35.6 mol%. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain Gm-149T formed a distinct phyletic line within the genus Flavobacterium. Based on levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence pairwise similarity, the novel strain was related most closely to Flavobacterium daejeonense (97.1%), but the level of DNA-DNA relatedness between strain Gm-149T and F. daejeonense was about 11.2%. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data, strain Gm-149T represents a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium, for which the name Flavobacterium glycines sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Gm-149T (=ICMP 17618T =NBRC 105008T).
