Flavobacterium hungaricum sp. nov. a novel soil inhabitant, cellulolytic bacterium isolated from plough field.

A Gram-negative bacterial strain, named Kb82, was isolated from agricultural soil and a polyphasic approach was used for characterisation and to determine its taxonomic position. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the highest similarity was found with Flavobacterium artemisiae SYP-B1015 (98.2%).

sp. nov. a novel species on the borderline of the genus .

A Gram-reaction-negative bacterial strain, designated Kb22, was isolated from agricultural soil and characterized using a polyphasic approach to determine its taxonomic position. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strain shows highest similarity (94.39 %) to M-SX103.

Sphingobacterium pedocola sp. nov. a novel halotolerant bacterium isolated from agricultural soil.

A Gram-reaction-negative halotolerant bacterial strain, designated Ka21, was isolated from agricultural soil and characterised using a polyphasic approach to determine its taxonomic position. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, highest similarity was found with Sphingobacterium alkalisoli Y3L14 (96.72%).

sp. nov., a cellulolytic bacterium isolated from agricultural soil.

A novel Gram-reaction-negative bacterial strain, designated Ka43, was isolated from agricultural soil and characterised using a polyphasic approach to determine its taxonomic position. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strain shows highest similarity (97.1 %) to E50.
