DESCRIPTION OF LIQUORILACTOBACILLUS MALI COMB. NOV.

Liquorilactobacillus mali (ma’li. L. gen. n. mali , of an apple).

Basonym: Lactobacillus mali Carr and Davies 1970 , 769 (Approved Lists); emend. Kaneuchi et al. 1988, 272

L. mali cells are non-motile or weakly motile with a few peritrichous flagella. Liquid cultures are turbid after few days, with subsequent clearing and sediment. They produce acetoin and dextran; malic acid is decomposed to lactic acid and CO 2. Most strains have a pseudocatalase activity when they grow on MRS agar with 0.1 % (w/v) glucose [ 195, 196]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.59. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 36.1.

Isolated from wine must, fermenting cider, fermented molasses, water kefirs, cocoa bean fermentations and table olives.

The type strain is ATCC 27053 T = CCUG 30141 T = CCUG 32228 T = CIP 103142 T = DSM 20444 T = JCM 1116 T = LMG 6899 T = NBRC 102159 T = NCIB (now NCIMB) 10560 T = NRRL B-4563 T = VKM B-1600 T.

Genome sequence accession number: AYYH00000000.

16S rRNA gene accession number: M58824 .
