Abstract
University of Alberta Soil Microbiology strain 9D is a gram-negative, nonflagellated, gliding, white, facultatively anaerobic, non-polysaccharolytic, long, thin rod or filament. The guanine plus cytosine content of the deoxyribonucleic acid of this strain is 37.0 mol©. This strain belongs to the genus Flexibacter, but it differs significantly from strains of previously described species. Therefore, it is regarded as belonging to a new species, for which the name Flexibacter canadensis is proposed. A culture of the type strain, 9D, has been deposited in the American Type Culture Collection under the number 29591.
