discussion
Loigolactobacillus (Loi. go. lac. to. ba. cil’lus. Gr. masc. n. loigos destruction, ruin, havoc; N. L. masc. n Lactobacillus a bacterial genus; Loigolactobacillus, a lactobacillus with spoilage potential). Cells are are non-motile, non-spore-forming, Grampositive, catalase negative rods, found singly and in pairs. They are homofermentative and produce both D- (−) - and L- (+) - lactic acid isomers. Pentose fermentation is species specific; most of species produce acid from D-mannose and D-mannitol. Themol % G + C contentisbetween 40.6 and 44.3. Aphylogenetic tree on the basis of 16 S rRNA genes of all species in the genus Loigolactobacillus is provided in Figure S 6 H.
