DESCRIPTION OF COMPANILACTOBACILLUS ALIMENTARIUS COMB. NOV.

Companilactobacillus alimentarius (a.li.men.ta'ri.us. L. masc. adj. alimentarius related to food).

Basonym: Lactobacillus alimentarius (ex Reuter 1970) Reuter 1983a, 672 VP

Growth is observed between 15 and 37°C and with pentoses, hexoses and disaccharides as carbon sources [ 115]. The genome size is 2.34 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 35.4.

Isolated as spoilage organisms from marinated fish products, as fermentation organisms in fermented sausages, as spoilage organism in ready-to-eat meats. A strain of the species had been used as biopreservatives culture [ 116]. It occurs in association with Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis in type I sourdoughs [ 114] and was isolated in other plant fermentations.

The type strain is R13 T = ATCC 29643 T = CCUG 30672 T = CIP 102986 T = DSM 20249 T = JCM 1095 T = LMG 9187 T .

Genome sequence accession number: AZDQ00000000.

16S RNA gene sequence accession number: M58804 .
