DESCRIPTIONOF LIGILACTOBACILLUS RUMINIS COMB. NOV. Ligilactobacillus ruminis (ru’mi.nis. N.L. gen. n. ruminis of rumen). Basonym: Lactobacillus ruminis Sharpe et al. 1973, 47 (Approved Lists) Strains of L. ruminis are motile by peritrichous flagella, anaerobic, and grow on surface only under reduced oxygen pressure; growth in liquid media is supported with the addition of cysteine–HCl. Strains isolated from sewage are nonmotile and do not grow at 45 °C [224]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.01 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 43.4. Isolated from rumen of cow andfrom sewage; alsocommonly found in the gut of humans, horses and pigs and bovine uterus. Genomic analyses indicated a differentiation of specific phylogenetic lineages of the species to specific vertebrate hosts [225].
