NOV. Ligilactobacillus murinus (mu.ri’nus. L. adj. murinus of mice). Basonym: Lactobacillus murinus Hemme et al ., 1982 , 384 VP . L. murinus strains are non-motile rods which slowly ferment ribose and arabinose. L-LDH is activated by FDP and Mn 2+ . They do not hydrolyse urea and hippurate; they decarboxylate malate. Riboflavin is a required growth factor [ 222 ]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.20 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 40.1. Isolated from the intestinal tract of mice and rats and from sourdough. The type strain is 313 T = ATCC 35020 T = CCUG 33904 T = CIP 104818 T = CNRZ 220 T = DSM 20452 T = IFO (now NBRC ) 14221 T = JCM 1717 T = LMG 14189 T . Genome accession number: AYYN00000000. 16S rRNA gene accession number: AJ 621554 .
