Description of Latilactobacillus sakei subsp. sakei AM8

Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-flagellated, ovoid, rod-shaped bacterium (0.5-0.6 μm wide, 0.7-1.0 μm long). Colonies grown on MRS agar are white, circular, convex, and glistening. Oxidase activity is negative. In the API 20NE test, cells are positive for nitrate reduction; aesculin hydrolysis; β -galactosidase activity, but negative for indole production; glucose fermentation; gelatin hydrolysis; activity of arginine dihydrolase and urease; and assimilation of D- glucose, L- arabinose, D- mannose, D- mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D- maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain AM8 (= NIBRBAC000503326) was isolated from a kimchi sample collected from Andong , Republic of Korea (36°33 ʹ 54.0 ʺ N, 128°43 ʹ 28.0 ʺ E).

Lactobacillus sakei subsp. sakei was reclassified as Latilactobacillus sakei subsp. sakei ( Zheng et al., 2020) .
