Abstract
During a comprehensive study of indigenous prokaryotic species in South Korea, nine bacterial species in the phylum Bacteroidetes were isolated from freshwater environmental samples that were collected from three major rivers in the Republic of Korea. High 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (${\geq}98.7%$) and robust phylogenetic clades with the closely related species suggest that each strain was correctly assigned to an independent and predefined bacterial species. There were no previous reports of these nine species in Korea. Within the phylum Bacteroidetes, four species were assigned to the genus Flavobacterium, order Flavobacteriales, and five species to three genera of two families in the order Cytophagales. Gram reaction, colony and cell morphology, basic biochemical characteristics, isolation source, and strain IDs are described in the species description section.
