DESCRIPTIONOF LIGILACTOBACILLUS GEN. NOV.

Ligilactobacillus (Li.gi.lac.to.ba.cil'lus. L. v. ligare to tie, unite; N.L. masc. n. Lactobacillus abacterial genus name; N.L. masc. n. Ligilactobacillus a lactobacillus with a host-associated life style).

Speciesof Ligilactobacillus are homofermentative, their mol% G+C contentisbetween 32.5 and 43.3. Several Ligilactobacillus species include strains that are motile. Most Ligilactobacillus species have been isolated from animals and humans and are adaptedto vertebratehosts. Severalstrains of Ligilactobacillus express urease, this enzymeis the mostpowerful bacterial tool to withstand gastric acidity; in lactobacilli, urease activity is associated with a vertebrate host-adapted lifestyle [ 210, 211]. Several Ligilactobacillus species also commonly occur in fermentedfoods and are usedcommercially as startercultures or probiotic cultures.

Aphylogenetic tree on the basis of 16S rRNA genes of all species inthe genus Ligilactobacillus isprovided in Figure S6J View Fig .

The type species is Ligilactobacillus salivarius comb. nov.; Ligilactobacillus was previously referred to as L. salivarius group.
