DESCRIPTION OF LACTICASEIBACILLUS RHAMNOSUS COMB. NOV.

Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus (rham.no’sus. N.L. masc. adj. rhamnosus pertaining to rhamnose).

Basonym Lactobacillus rhamnosus (Hansen 1968, Collins et al. 1989, 108 VP ( Lactobacillus casei subsp. rhamnosus Hansen 1968 [ 172],

Original characteristics of L. rhamnosus strains are described in by [ 172]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.95 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 46.7.

The species has a nomadic lifestyle and was isolated from a broad range of habitats including dairy products, fermented meat, fish, vegetables and cereals, sewage, humans (oral, vaginal and intestinal), invertebrate hosts and clinical sources [ 17, 169].

The type strain is ATCC 7469 T = CCUG 21452 T = CIP A157 T = DSM 20021 T = NBRC 3425 T = JCM 1136 T = LMG 6400 T = NCAIM B.01147= NCCB 46033 T = NCIMB 6375 T = NCTC 12953 T = NRRL B-442 T = VKM B-574 T.
