Abstract A yellow-pigmented, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium, designated RJ-7-14T was obtained from forest soil sampled at Cheonji-dong, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, South Korea. Cells were Gram-stain-negative and produced flexirubin type pigments. A phylogenetic analysis based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain RJ-7-14T formed a lineage within the family Weeksellaceae and clustered as members of the genus Chryseobacterium. The closest members were Chryseobacterium geocarposphaerae DSM ­27617T (98.2% sequence similarity), Chryseobacterium hispalense DSM ­25574T (98.0%) and Chryseobacterium nepalense KACC ­18907T (98.0%). The sequence similarity for other members was  70% are shown. Fluvibacter tottoriensis MTT-39T was used as an out-group. GenBank accession numbers are given in parentheses. Bar, 0.02 substitutions per nucleotide position

DSM ­27617T (98.2% sequence similarity), Chryseobacterium hispalense DSM 2­ 5574T (98.0%), Chryseobacterium nepalense KACC 1­ 8907T (98.0%), and Chryseobacterium defluvii KACC ­1 1392 T (97.8%). Sequence similarities between strain RJ-7-14T and other members of the genus Chryseobacterium were
