DESCRIPTIONOF LACTIPLANTIBACILLUS PLAJOMI COMB. NOV.

Lactiplantibacillus plajomi (pla.jom’i. N.L. gen. n. plajomi of Pla-jom, referring to the isolation of the type strain from a traditional fermented fish product in Thailand).

Basonym: Lactobacillus plajomi Miyashita et al. 2015, 2488 VP

Cells are non-motile, facultatively anaerobic rods. They grow at 15–37 °C, at pH 4.0–7.5 and with 0–8 % NaCl. They are positive for Voges–Proskauer test, tellurite tolerance, bileaesculin tolerance test and deamination of arginine [ 235]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.76 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNAis 48.7

Isolated from Pla-jom (fermented fish) collected in Yasothon, Thailand.
