Description of <i>Flavobacterium fructosi</i> sp. nov., <i>Flavobacterium xylosi</i> sp. nov. and <i>Flavobacterium zhouii</i> sp. nov., three new members of the genus <i>Flavobacterium</i>.

ABSTRACT: Three novel strains, designated LB3P45^T, LS2P90^T and ZS1P70^T, were isolated from glaciers located on the Tibetan Plateau, PR China. These strains were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and yellow or orange coloured. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene and genomic sequences indicated that they belong to the genus Flavobacterium. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity among the three strains ranged from 97.4 to 98.6%. Strain LB3P45^T showed 98.9% and 98.7% similarity to Flavobacterium urumqiense CGMCC 1.9230^T and Flavobacterium xinjiangense JCM 11314^T, respectively. Strain LS2P90^T displayed 99.0% and 98.7% similarity to F. xinjiangense JCM 11314^T and F. uru
