The taxonomic relationship between [Flexibacter] aggregans IAM 14894T and Flexithrix dorotheae NBRC 15987T was investigated by means of DNA–DNA hybridization and phenotypic characteristics. On the basis of these results, it is proposed that Flexibacter aggregans ( Lewin 1969 ) Leadbetter 1974 be considered a later heterotypic synonym of Flexithrix dorotheae Lewin 1970 . Emended descriptions of the species Flexithrix dorotheae and the genus Flexithrix are also given.
