A Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, cream–yellow-pigmented bacterial strain, IP-10T, was isolated from soil samples from a waste site highly contaminated with hexachlorocyclohexane in Ummari village, India. The organism showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 92.7 % with Flavobacterium soli KCTC 12542T and levels of 87–92 % with the type strains of other recognized species of the genus Flavobacterium. The DNA G+C content of strain IP-10T was 31 mol%. The predominant fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (22.1 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (18.5 %) and summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH; 13.2 %). Strain IP-10T could be differentiated from recognized species of the genus Flavobacterium based on a number of phenotypic features. Strain IP-10T is therefore considered to represent a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium, for which the name Flavobacterium lindanitolerans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IP-10T (=MTCC 8597T=CCM 7424T).
