Secundilactobacillus
Secundilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria containing secondary fermenters separated from the primary fermenters of Lactobacillus after the latter group depletes hexoses and disaccharides. These Gram-positive, rod-shaped heterofermenters have been isolated from beer and apple cider, and they are generally incapable of reducing fructose to mannitol.
Species
Using whole-genome sequencing, Zheng et al. 2020 reclassified twelve Lactobacillus species into the novel genera Secundilactobacillus. The List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature currently recognizes fifteen member species:Secundilactobacillus angelensis Zhang et al. 2022Secundilactobacillus collinoides Zheng et al. 2020Secundilactobacillus folii Phuengjayaem et al. 2021Secundilactobacillus hailunensis Liu et al. 2021Secundilactobacillus kimchicus Zheng et al. 2020Secundilactobacillus malefermentans Zheng et al. 2020Secundilactobacillus mixtipabuli Zheng et al. 2020Secundilactobacillus odoratitofui Zheng et al. 2020Secundilactobacillus oryzae Zheng et al. 2020Secundilactobacillus paracollinoides Zheng et al. 2020Secundilactobacillus pentosiphilus Zheng et al. 2020Secundilactobacillus silagei Zheng et al. 2020Secundilactobacillus silagincola Zheng et al. 2020Secundilactobacillus similis Zheng et al. 2020Secundilactobacillus yichangensis Liu et al. 2021These species have genomes sizes ranging from 1.85 Mbp for S. oryzae to 3.62 Mbp for S. collinoides, and their GC-content ranges from 41.03-47%.
