DESCRIPTION OF LIMOSILACTOBACILLUS PONTIS COMB. NOV.

Limosilactobacillus pontis (pon’tis. L. gen. n. pontis , of a bridge, referring to BRIDGE, which was the acronym of an EU funded research project).

Basonym: Lactobacillus pontis Vogel et al. 1994 , 228 VP

Not all strains of L. pontis ferment glucose [ 267]; growth is observed at 15 and at 45 °C. The genome size of the type strain is 1.67 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 43.5.

Isolated from type I and type II sourdough but also as typical representatives of the intestinal microbiota of swine [ 76]. Other sources of isolation include silage, dairy products, mezcal fermentation and wet wheat distillers' grain.

The type strain is LTH 2587 T = DSM 8475 T = LMG 14187 T .

Genome sequence accession number: AZGO00000000.

16S rRNA gene accession number: X76329 .
