Strain GH1-10T was most closely related to Flavobacterium psychrolimnae and Flavobacterium denitrificans, with sequence similarities of 95.9 and 95.2 %, respectively. Strain GH29-5T was most closely related to ‘Flavobacterium saliodium’, F. denitrificans and Flavobacterium frigoris, with sequence similarities of 94.3, 92.5 and 92.5 %, respectively. The major cellular fatty acids of GH1-10T were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, and those of GH29-5T were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 1 G and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH. Both strains contained menaquinone with six isoprene units (MK-6) as the sole quinone. The DNA G+C contents of GH1-10T and GH29-5T were 35 and 39 mol%, respectively. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic data presented, it is concluded that the two bacteria represent two separate novel species of the genus Flavobacterium. The names proposed to accommodate these organisms are Flavobacterium daejeonense sp. nov., with type strain GH1-10T (=KACC 11422T=DSM 17708T), and Flavobacterium suncheonense sp. nov., with type strain GH29-5T (=KACC 11423T=DSM 17707T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.64243-0
