DESCRIPTION OF LIGILACTOBACILLUS SAERIMNERI COMB. NOV. Ligilactobacillus saerimneri (sae.rim’ne.ri. N.L. gen. masc. n. saerimneri of Saerimner, a pig occurring in Nordic mythology, because the organism was isolated from pigs). Basonym: Lactobacillus saerimneri Pedersen and Roos 2004, 1367 VP Strains of this species grows aerobically in MRS agar but at a lower rate compared to anaerobic growth. They do not hydrolize aesculin [226]. The genome size of the type strain is 1.69 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 42.6. Isolated from pig faeces. The habitat of L. saerimneri is the intestines of pigs, the human gut and vagina and the cecum of chicken. The type strain is GDA154 T = CCUG 48462 T = DSM 16049 T = JCM 15955 T = LMG 22087 T. Genome accession number: AZFP00000000. 16S rRNA gene accession number: AY255802.
