DESCRIPTION OF LIGILACTOBACILLUS RUMINIS COMB. NOV.

Ligilactobacillus ruminis (ru’mi.nis. N.L. gen. n. ruminis of rumen).

Basonym: Lactobacillus ruminis Sharpe et al. 1973 , 47 (Approved Lists)

Strains of L. ruminis are motile by peritrichous flagella, anaerobic, and grow on surface only under reduced oxygen pressure; growth in liquid media is supported with the addition of cysteine–HCl. Strains isolated from sewage are nonmotile and do not grow at 45 °C [ 224]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.01 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 43.4.

Isolated from rumen of cow and from sewage; also commonly found in the gut of humans, horses and pigs and bovine uterus. Genomic analyses indicated a differentiation of specific phylogenetic lineages of the species to specific vertebrate hosts [ 225].

The type strain is RFIT = ATCC 27780 T = CCUG 39465 T = CIP 103153 T = DSM 20403 T = JCM 1152 T = LMG 10756 T = NBRC 102161 T = NRRL B-14853 T .

Genome accession number: AYYL00000000.
