DESCRIPTIONOF LAPIDILACTOBACILLUS GEN. NOV.

Lapidilactobacillus [La.pi.di.lac.to.ba.cil’lus L. masc. n. lapis, stone, referring to the isolation source of the type species Lapidilactobacillus concavus ; N.L. masc. n. Lactobacillus a bacterial genus; N.L. masc. n. Lapidilactobacillus , a lactobacillus isolated from stone (walls)].

Thecells are Gram-positive rods or cocci, homofermentative, non motile, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobes, and catalase-negative. Pentose utilization and the pH range for growth are strain dependent, the optimum pH is between 6.0 and 7.0. They are homofermentative and mainly produce L-lactic acid. The optimum temperature for growth is 30–37 °C. No ammonia is produced from arginine. The mol% G+C content of DNA is between 38.1 and 49.0.

Aphylogenetic tree on the basis of 16S rRNA genes of all speciesin the genus Lapidiactobacillus is providedin Fig. S6D View Fig .

The type species is Lapidilactobacillus concavus comb. nov.; Lapidilactobacillus was previously referred to as L. concavus / dextrinicus group.
