Flavobacterium is a genus of Gram-negative, non-motile and motile, rod-shaped bacteria that consists of 130 recognized species[1][2] as well as three newly proposed species (F. gondwanense,[3] F. salegens,[3] and F. scophthalmum[4]). Flavobacteria are found in soil and fresh water in a variety of environments. Several species are known to cause disease in freshwater fish.[5]
Flavobacterium psychrophilum causes the bacterial cold water disease (BCWD) on salmonids and the rainbow trout fry disease (RTFS) on rainbow trouts. Flavobacterium columnare causes the cotton-wool disease on freshwater fishes. Flavobacterium 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.
