description
Cells are Gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, catalase-negative and heterofermentative. Cells are rod-shaped, measuring 0.9 – 3.0 × 0.6 – 1.0 µm. Colonies of the type strain BG-AF 3 - AT on MRS agar plate incubated at the anaerobic condition at 37 ° C for 2 days are whitish, opaque, raised, circular and entire, with a diameter of 1.2 – 3.2 mm; no colony appears on MRS agar plate incubated at the aerobic condition at 37 ° C for 2 days. D-Lactate, L-lactate and gas are produced from glucose fermentation by the type strain BG-AF 3 - AT. Growth occurs at 30, 37 and 45 ° C (optimum), but not at 15 ° C. Growth occurs at pH 4.0 – 8.0 in MRS broth. For BG-AF 3 - AT, the most abundant fatty acid is C 16: 0, followed by C 19: 0 cyclo ω 8 c. Acid is produced from L-arabinose, D-ribose, D-xylose, D-galactose, D-glucose, aesculin, maltose, lactose, melibiose, sucrose and raffinose; acid is not produced from D-fructose, D-mannose, methylα- D-glucopyranoside, potassium gluconate, glycerol, erythritol, D-arabinose, L-xylose, D-adonitol, methyl β - D-xylopyranoside, L-sorbose, L-rhamnose, dulcitol, inositol, D-mannitol, D-sorbitol, methyl α- D-mannopyranoside, N - acetylglucosamine, amygdalin, arbutin, salicin, cellobiose, trehalose, inulin, melezitose, starch, glycogen, xylitol, gentiobiose, turanose, D-lyxose, D-tagatose, D-fucose, L-fucose, D-arabitol, L-arabitol, potassium 2 - ketogluconate or potassium 5 - ketogluconate. The cellwall peptidoglycan of BG-AF 3 - AT contains the amino acids alanine (Ala), glutamic acid (Glu), lysine (Lys), and aspartic acid (Asp), with the molar ratio 1.3 (Ala): 0.8 (Asp): 1.0 (Glu): 1.0 (Lys), suggesting the cell-wall peptidoglycan type A 4 α L-Lys – D-Asp by [38]. The DNA G + C content of BG-AF 3 - AT is 38.3 mol %.
description
The type strain is BG-AF 3 - AT (= DSM 110574 T = LMG 31633 T), which was isolated from the jejunum of yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) caught in the Vilnius area in Lithuania [13].
etymology
Limosilactobacillus balticus (bal. ti′ cus. L. adj. balticus pertaining to the Baltic region where the type strain was isolated).
