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., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.64798-0
