DESCRIPTION OF LENTILACTOBACILLUS HILGARDII COMB. NOV.

Lentilactobacillus hilgardii (hil.gar’di.i. N.L. gen. n. hilgardii of Hilgard, named after E.W. Hilgard, a pioneer of enology in the State of California, USA).

Basonym: Lactobacillus hilgardii Douglas and Cruess 1936 , 115 (Approved Lists); the species was initially described in 1936; the description was emended in 1949 after the original type strain was lost [ 330, 331]

Strains grow optimally between pH 4.5 and 5.5 and in the range of 15 to 40 °C [ 330, 331]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.60 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 39.6.

Isolated from spoiled wine, kefir grains, mezcal fermentations and silage.

The type strain is 9 T = ATCC 8290 T = CIP 103007 T = DSM 20176 T = JCM 1155 T = LMG 6895 T .

Genome sequence accession number: AZDF00000000.

16S rRNA gene accession number: M58821 .
