Abstract
Fifty orange-pigmented, gram-negative, rod-shaped isolates were recove red from healthy and diseased turbot and from coastal waters (collecte d in Scotland). On the basis of the results of an examination of 125 p henotypic characteristics and the results of DNA-DNA and DNA-rRNA hybr idization experiments, vile concluded that these isolates are members of a new species in the genus Flavobacterium, for which the name Flavo bacterium scophthalmum is proposed. The type strain is CCM 4109 (= LMG 13028).
