''Flaviobacterium'' is a genus of Gram-negative, non-motile and motile, rod-shaped bacteria that consists of 130 recognized species〔http://www.bacterio.net/flavobacterium.html〕〔Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, 2nd ed., vol. 1 (The Archaea and the deeply branching and phototrophic Bacteria) (D.R. Boone and R.W. Castenholz, eds.), Springer-Verlag, New York (2001). pp. 465-466.〕 as well as three newly proposed species (''F. gondwanense'', ''F. salegens'',〔 and ''F. scophthalmum''). Flavobacteria are found in soil and fresh water in a variety of environments. Several species are known to cause disease in freshwater fish. ''Flaviobacterium psychrophilum'' causes the bacterial cold water disease (BCWD) on salmonids and the rainbow trout fry disease (RTFS) on rainbow trouts. ''Flaviobacterium columnare'' causes the cotton-wool disease on freshwater fishes. ''Flaviobacterium branchiophilum'' causes the bacterial gill disease (BGD) on trouts. Nylon-eating bacteria are a strain of ''Flavobacterium'' that is capable of digesting certain byproducts of nylon 6 manufacture. ==See also== *Nylon-eating bacteria 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flavobacterium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
