DESCRIPTION OF LIQUORILACTOBACILLUS GHANENSIS COMB. NOV.

Liquorilactobacillus ghanensis (gha.nen′ sis. N.L. masc. adj. ghanensis , pertaining to Ghana, where the species was first isolated).

Basonym: Lactobacillus ghanensis Nielsen et al. 2007, 1471 VP

L. ghanensis cells are motile with peritrichous flagella, and colonies have slightly uneven edges after 3–4 days of anaerobic growth. They do not grow at pH 8.0, nor at 6.5 % NaCl [ 200]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.61 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 37.1.

Isolated from cocoa fermentations.
