discussion
Levilactobacillushammesii (ham. me’si. i. N. L. gen. n. hammesii of Hammes, inrecognition of thescientist Walter P. Hammes, who contributed significantly to the taxonomy of lactic acid bacteria as well as the technology and microbial ecology of fermented foods). Basonym: Lactobacillus hammesii Valcheva et al. 2005, 766 VP Characteristics of the species are as described [294]. Strains produce antifungal fatty acids from linoleic acid [295]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.82 Mbp. The mol % G + C content of DNA is 49.4.
