discussion
Liquorilactobacillus ghanensis (gha. nen ′ sis. N. L. masc. adj. ghanensis, pertainingto Ghana, where the species was first isolated). Basonym: Lactobacillus ghanensis Nielsen et al. 2007, 1471 VP L. ghanensis cells are motile with peritrichous flagella, and colonieshaveslightlyuneven edgesafter 3 – 4 daysof anaerobic growth. They do not grow at pH 8.0, norat 6.5 % NaCl [200]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.61 Mbp. The mol % G + C content of DNA is 37.1.
