DESCRIPTIONOF LACTICASEIBACILLUS PANTHERIS COMB. NOV.

Lacticaseibacillus pantheris (pan’ther.is. N.L. gen. n. pantheris of the panther, referring to the isolation of the strains from jaguar faeces).

Basonym: Lactobacillus pantheris Liu and Dong 2002, 1747 VP

Characteristics of the species are described in [167]. L. pantheris together with L. thailandensis, L. sharpie, L. songhuajiangensis and L. hulanensis forms a monophyletic outgroup to Lacticaseibacillus; however, physiological characteristics and their ecology, as far as data are available, are similar to other Lacticaseibacillus species. The genome size of the type strain is 2.55 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNAis 52.9.

Isolated from the faeces of a jaguar in Beijing Zoo and from fermented vegetables.
