DESCRIPTION OF LEVILACTOBACILLUS BREVIS COMB. NOV.

Levilactobacillus brevis (bre′ vis. L. adj. brevis short).

Basonym: Lactobacillus brevis (Betabacterium breve Orla-Jensen 1919, 175) Bergey et al. 1934, 312 (Approved Lists)

The species was described in [ 2, 289]. Strains of L. brevis widely occur in vegetable and cereal fermentations and as beer-spoilage organisms and were also isolated from insects. Niche adaptation is mediated by acquisition of plasmids [ 290]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.47 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 46.0.

Isolated from milk, cheese, sauerkraut and rrelated vegetable fermentations, sourdough, silage, cow manure, faeces, and the mouth and intestinal tract of humans and rats.

The type strain is 14, Bb14 T = DSM 20054 T = ATCC 14869 T = JCM 1059 T = LMG 6906 T = LMG 7944 T = NRRL B-4527 T.

Genome sequence accession number: AZCP00000000.

16S rRNA gene accession number: M58810 .
