NOV. Ligilactobacillus agilis (a’gi.lis. L. masc. adj. agilis agile, motile). Basonym: Lactobacillus agilis Weiss et al . 1982 , 266 VP (Effective publication: Weiss et al . 1981, 252) L. agilis strains are motile with peritrichous flagella; motility is easily demonstrated in MRS broth [ 175 ]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.06 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 41.7. Isolated from municipal sewage; L. agilis is the dominant species in the pigeon crops and it is also found in the gut and cecum of birds, human gut and vagina, porcine intestinal mucin and fermented food products such as masau fruits, Nigerian ogi, and cheese. The type strain is CIP 101264 T = CCUG 31450 T = DSM 20509 T = JCM 1187 T = LMG 9186 T = NRRL B-14856 T . Genome sequence accession number: AYYP00000000. 16S rRNA gene accession number: M58803 .
