DESCRIPTIONOF LOIGOLACTOBACILLUS BACKII COMB. NOV.

Loigolactobacillus backii (back ′ i.i. N.L. gen. n. backii, named inrecognition of Werner Back, a Germanmicrobiologist who contributed to themicrobiological and technological development of brewing).

Basonym: Lactobacillus backii Tohno et al. 2013, 3858 VP

L. backii strains are rod-shaped and occur singly, in pairs and in chains; they show leucin aminopeptidase, valine

aminopeptidase, cystine aminopeptidase, acid phosphatase, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, β-galactosidase, β-glucosidase and N -acetyl-β-glucosaminidase activities [189]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.78 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNAis 40.7.

Isolated from a spoiled lager beer.
