DESCRIPTION OF LOIGOLACTOBACILLUS BACKII COMB. NOV.

Loigolactobacillus backii (back′ i.i. N.L. gen. n. backii , named in recognition of Werner Back, a German microbiologist who contributed to the microbiological 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 DNA is 40.7.

Isolated from a spoiled lager beer.

The type strain is L-1062= JCM 18665 T = LMG 23555 T = DSM 18080 T = L1062 T .

Genome sequence accession number: ASM 166367v1. For bioinformatics analysis, the closed genome of strain TMW1.1989 was used: CP014873 (chromosome), CP014874 (plasmid) and CP014875 (second plasmid) .

16S rRNA gene accession number: AB779648 .
