DESCRIPTION OF LIMOSILACTOBACILLUS FERMENTUM COMB. NOV.

Limosilactobacillus fermentum (fer.men′ tum. L. neut. n. fermentum which causes fermentation, leaven, ferment).

Basonym: Lactobacillus fermentum Beijerinck 1901 , 233 (Approved Lists). The species includes strains previously classified as Lactobacillus cellobiosus [ 254]

L. fermentum is the only species in Limosilactobacillus that is not adapted to the intestine of vertebrates [ 17]. The genome size of the type strain is 1.90 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 52.4.

Occurs widely in spontaneously fermented cereals and other fermenting plant materials [ 58, 255], also in dairy products, manure and sewage, and the faeces and vagina of humans.

The type strain is F (352) T = ATCC 14931 T = DSM 20052 T = CIP 102980 T = JCM 1173 T = LMG 6902 T .

Genome sequence accession number: JQAU00000000.

16S rRNA gene accession number: JN175331 .
