DESCRIPTIONOF LIQUORILACTOBACILLUS VINI COMB. NOV.

Liquorilactobacillus vini (vi’ni. L. gen. n. vini of wine).

Basonym: Lactobacillus vini Rodas et al. 2006, 516 VP

The cells are motile rods, they do not produce exopolysaccharide from sucrose, but they utilize citric and malic acids [208]. L. vini was the first organism for which metabolism of pentoses via the pentose phosphate pathway to lactate as sole end product was described [18]. The metabolism for homofermentative metabolism of pentoses was initially described for strains later classified as L. vini [18, 209]. Thegenome size of the type strain is 2.24 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNAis 37.5.

Isolated from fermenting Spanish grape must and from bioethanol industrial processes in different distilleries of Brazil.
