abstract= On the basis of genotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phenotypic data, Flavobacterium odoratum was excluded from the emended genus Flavobacterium. In the present study, the known heterogeneity within this species was examined by a polyphasic approach that included DNA-rRNA hybridizations, a determination of DNA base ratios, DNA-DNA hybridizations, a numerical analysis of whole-cell protein patterns, a determination of cellular fatty acid compositions, and a phenotypic analysis. All of the methods revealed the presence of two distinct species. We propose that F. odoratum strains should be placed in a new genus, the genus Myroides, which comprises two species, Myroides odoratus comb. nov. and Myroides odoratimimus sp. nov.,
