DESCRIPTIONOF LACTICASEIBACILLUS CASEI COMB. NOV.

Lacticaseibacillus casei (ca’se.i. L. gen. n. casei of cheese).

Basonym: Lactobacillus casei (Orla Jensen 1916, Hansen and Lessel 1971, 71 (Approved Lists) ( Streptobacterium casei Orla- Jensen 1919, 166).

The species includes strains previously classified as Lactobacillus zeae [ 155]. Original characteristics of L. casei strains are provided by [ 2, 156, 157]. L. casei is differentiated from most other lactobacilli by catalase activity [ 47]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.83 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNAis 46.5.

Isolates wereobtained from diversesources including chinese traditional pickle, infant faeces, corn liquor, oat silage, commercial dietary supplements, sputum, nasopharynx [ 47]. Information on the lifestyle of L. casei is counded by the unclear taxonomy over the past decades; most genomes of designated as L. casei in the NCBI database should be classified as L. paracasei instead [ 10, 47].
