A novel Gram-reaction-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated as strain G2-10 T was isolated from effluent of a dairy manure treatment plant. Growth occurred at 20–40 °C (optimum at 25–30 °C), pH 7.0–8.0 (optimum at pH 7.0). The range of NaCl concentration for growth was between 0% and 3% (w/v) (optimum 0–1%, w/v). Comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain G2-10 T was moderately related to the type strains of Sphingobacterium nematocida M-SX103 T and Sphingobacterium suaedae T47 T with a pair-wise sequence similarity of 94.3% and 94.0%, respectively. The major fatty acid constituents of strain G2-10 T were identified as iso-C 15:0 (37.6%), summed feature 3 (consisting of C 16:1 ω 7c and/or C 16:1 ω 6c, 29.6%) and iso-C 17:0 3-OH (15.2%). Phosphatidylethanolamine was the major polar lipids of strain G2-10 T . Sphingophospholipids were present. The isoprenoid quinone was composed of only MK-7. The DNA G + C content of strain G2-10 T was found to be 42.5 mol%. The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic properties suggest that strain G2-10 T represents a novel species within the genus Sphingobacterium , for which the name Sphingobacterium praediipecoris is proposed. The type strain is G2-10 T (= KCTC 52880 T  = NBRC 112848 T ).
