'''''Flexibacter''''' is a [genus](/source/genus) of [bacteria](/source/bacteria) consisting of some seventeen strains (or species), known for their yellow hue.<ref name=lpsn>{{lpsn|f/flexibacter.html|Flexibacter}}</ref>

Etymology: L. part. adj. ''flexus'' (from. L. v. ''flecto''), bent, winding; N.L. masc. n. ''[bacter](/source/-bacter)'', rod; N.L. masc. n. ''Flexibacter'', intended to mean flexible rod.<ref name=lpsn/>
