"Flavobacterium" is a genus of Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacteria that consists of ten recognized species, [Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, 2nd ed., vol. 1 (The Archaea and the deeply branching and phototrophic Bacteria) (D.R. Boone and R.W. Castenholz, eds.), Springer-Verlag, New York (2001). pp. 465-466.] as well as three newly proposed species ("F. gondwanense",cite journal
