Type strain is Flavobacterium neuenschwanderi GE-10 (GCA_965234425.1), isolated from 5 m depth from Greifensee, Switzerland (date: 2019-04-03), via high-throughput dilution to extinction cultivation. GE-10 has a genome size of 3.56 Mbp with a genomic GC content of 33.1%, contains 4 rRNA genes and 38 tRNAs. The genome is a high-quality draft consisting of 44 contigs. The genome contains genes encoding rhodopsins. Genes for gliding motility (gldBDHJKLMN, sprA) were annotated in the genome. Pathways for assimilatory sulfate reduction and the biosynthesis of all amino acids were predicted. Further, pathways for riboflavin, NAD, coenzyme A, biotin, THF, menaquinone, and heme were identified. The closest cultivated relative is Flavobacterium psychrotolerans RB1R5 (GCF_003097635.1), with an average amino acid identity of 74.81% and average nucleotide identity of 74.37%. Current GTDB classification (R220): d__Bacteria; p__Bacteroidota; c__Bacteroidia; o__Flavobacteriales; f__Flavobacteriaceae; g__Flavobacterium; s__.
