Limosilactobacillus kribbianus sp. nov., isolated from pig faeces

Abstract

A rod-shaped, aerotolerant, Gram-stain-positive bacterium isolated from pig faeces was designated as strain YH-lim2214^T. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the isolate was most closely related to Limosilactobacillus pontis KCTC 25258^T with 98.0 % similarity. The average nucleotide identity and average amino acid identity values between YH-lim2214^T and the most closely related strain Lm. pontis KCTC 25258^T were 81.4 and 81.3 %, respectively. The major fatty acids were C_{18 : 1} ω9c, summed feature 7 and C_{16 : 0}. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type was A4α l-Lys-d-Asp. The genomic DNA G+C content was 51.1 mol%. The chemotaxonomic, phenotypic and phylogenetic properties of YH-lim2214^T (=KCTC 25572^T=JCM 35701^T) suggest that it represents a novel taxon, for which the name Limosilactobacillus kribbianus sp. nov. is proposed.
