Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain BX12T was most closely related to Flavobacterium subsaxonicum WB 4.1-42T (95.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), followed by Flavobacterium beibuense F44-8T (95.6 %) and Flavobacterium rivuli WB 3.3-2T (94.1 %). The major fatty acids (≥5 %) of strain BX12T were summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, and C16 : 0 3-OH. The major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine, and the major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6. The genomic DNA G+C content was 43.9 mol%. On the basis of a high number of phenotypic differentiating properties and phylogenetic uniqueness, strain BX12T represents a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium for which the name Flavobacterium hauense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BX12T ( = CCTCC AB 2012197T = KCTC 32147T). Emended descriptions of Flavobacterium subsaxonicum , Flavobacterium beibuense and Flavobacterium rivuli are also proposed. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.048652-0
