DESCRIPTION OF LIGILACTOBACILLUS APODEMI COMB. NOV.

Ligilactobacillus apodemi (a.po.de ′ mi. N.L. gen. n. apodemi , of Apodemus speciosus , the field mouse from which the organism was first isolated).

Basonym: Lactobacillus apodemi Osawa et al. 2006 , 1695 VP

L. apodemi strains are non-motile, they are tannase-positive and they produce gallic acid from tannic acid but they do not convert gallic acid to pyrogallol [ 217]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.10 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 38.6.

Isolated from the faeces of a wild mouse.

The type strain is ASB1 T = CIP 108913 T = DSM 16634 T =JCM 16172 T.

Genome sequence accession number: AZFT00000000.

16S rRNA gene accession number: AJ871178.
