DESCRIPTION OF LAPIDILACTOBACILLUS CONCAVUS COMB. NOV.

Lapidilactobacillus concavus (con.ca’vus. L. masc. adj. concavus , curved, referring to the curved shape of the cells).

Basonym: Lactobacillus concavus Tong and Dong 2005, 2201 VP

Cells of L. concavus are non-motile curved rods; the optimum pH for growth is 6.0–6.4; they can also grow at 8 % (v/v) ethanol but not in 6.5 % (w/v) NaCl [ 148]. The genome size of the type strain is 1.90 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 43.3.

Isolated from the walls of a distilled-spirit-fermenting cellar in China.
