A Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain YC6274(T), was isolated from a stream (Sasang) carrying wastewater polluted with heavy metals in Busan, Korea. Growth was observed at 10-35 degrees C (optimum, 30 degrees C) and pH 6.0-9.5 (optimum, pH 7.5-8.0). Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that the strain was most closely related to Flavobacterium cucumis R2A45-3(T) (96.6 %...
