Abstract
Lentilactobacillus rapi subsp. dabitei was proposed by Li et al. in 2022. The type strains of L. rapi subsp. dabitei and L. rapi subsp. rapi shared 93.1 % average nucleotide identity and 52.8 % digital DNA-DNA hybridization values. Strain IMAU80584T was proposed as a novel subspecies of L. rapi rather than a novel species of the genus Lentilactobacillus on the basis of similar phenotypic characteristics (including growth temperature and pH, tolerance to NaCl and features based on API 50CH and API ZYM). However, the phenotypic investigation performed by Li et al. was insufficient because some physiological and biochemical characteristics recommended by Mattarelli et al. were not included. In the present study, the taxonomic relationship between L. rapi subsp. dabitei and L. rapi subsp. rapi was re-evaluated. Based upon the data obtained in the present study, we propose to elevate L. rapi subsp. dabitei to the species level as Lentilactobacillus dabitei sp. nov. The type strain is IMAU80584T (=GDMCC 1.2566T=JCM 34647T).

Abstract
The species
Bifidobacterium longum
currently comprises four subspecies:
B. longum
subsp.
longum
,
B. longum
subsp.
infantis
,
B. longum
subsp.
suis
and
B. longum
subsp.
suillum
. Recently, several studies on
B. longum
suggested the presence of a separate clade containing four strains isolated from infants and one from rhesus macaque. These strains shared a phylogenetic similarity to
B. longum
subsp.
suis
DSM 20210T and
B. longum
subsp.
suillum
JCM1995T [average nucleotide identity (ANI) of 98.1 %) while showed an ANI of 96.5 % with both
B. longum
subsp.
infantis
and
B. longum
subsp.
longum
. The current work describes five novel additional
B. longum
strains isolated from Bangladeshi weaning infants and demonstrates their common phylogenetic origin with those of the previously proposed separated clade. Based on polyphasic taxonomic approach comprising loci multilocus sequence analysis and whole genome multilocus sequence typing, all ten examined strains have been confirmed as a distinct lineage within the species
B. longum
with
B. longum
subsp.
suis
and
B. longum
subsp.
suillum
as closest subspecies. Interestingly, these strains are present in weaning infants and primates as opposed to their closest relatives which have been typically isolated from pig and calves. These strains, similarly to
B. longum
subsp.
infantis
, show a common capacity to metabolize the human milk oligosaccharide 3-fucosyllactose. Moreover, they harbour a riboflavin synthesis operon, which differentiate them from their closest subspecies,
B. longum
subsp.
suis
and
B. longum
subsp.
suillum
. Based on the consistent results from genotypical, ecological and phenotypical analyses, a novel subspecies with the name
Bifidobacterium longum
subsp. iuvenis, with type strain NCC 5000T (=LMG 32752T=CCOS 2034T), is proposed.

Gut microbiota alternation with training periodization and physical fitness in Japanese elite athletes. Front Sports Act Living 2023; 5:1219345. [PMID: 37521099 PMCID: PMC10382754 DOI: 10.3389/fspor.2023.1219345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction The gut microbiome plays a fundamental role in host homeostasis through regulating immune functions, enzyme activity, and hormone secretion. Exercise is associated with changes in gut microbiome composition and function. However, few studies have investigated the gut microbiome during training periodization. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between training periodization and the gut microbiome in elite athletes. Methods In total, 84 elite athletes participated in the cross-sectional study; and gut microbiome was determined during their transition or preparation season period. Further, 10 short-track speed skate athletes participated in the longitudinal study, which assessed the gut microbiome and physical fitness such as aerobic capacity and anaerobic power in the general and specific preparation phase of training periodization. The gut microbiome was analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing. Results The cross-sectional study revealed significant differences in Prevotella, Bifidobacterium, Parabacteroides, and Alistipes genera and in enterotype distribution between transition and preparation season phase periodization. In the longitudinal study, training phase periodization altered the level of Bacteroides, Blautia, and Bifidobacterium in the microbiome. Such changes in the microbiome were significantly correlated with alternations in aerobic capacity and tended to correlate with the anaerobic power. Discussion These findings suggest that periodization alters the gut microbiome abundance related to energy metabolism and trainability of physical fitness. Athlete's condition may thus be mediated to some extent by the microbiota in the intestinal environment.

Abstract
Plants, animals, bacteria, and food waste are subjects of intensive research, as they are biological sources for the production of biopolymers. The topic links to global challenges related to the extended life cycle of products, and circular economy objectives. A severe and well-known threat to the environment, the non-biodegradability of plastics obliges different stakeholders to find legislative and technical solutions for producing valuable polymers which are biodegradable and also exhibit better characteristics for packaging products. Microorganisms are recognized nowadays as exciting sources for the production of biopolymers with applications in the food industry, package production, and several other fields. Ubiquitous organisms, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are well studied for the production of exopolysaccharides (EPS), but much less as producers of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Based on their good biodegradability feature, as well as the possibility to be obtained from cheap biomass, PLA and PHAs polymers currently receive increased attention from both research and industry. The present review aims to provide an overview of LAB strains' characteristics that render them candidates for the biosynthesis of EPS, PLA, and PHAs, respectively. Further, the biopolymers' features are described in correlation with their application in different food industry fields and for food packaging. Having in view that the production costs of the polymers constitute their major drawback, alternative solutions of biosynthesis in economic terms are discussed.

Abstract
Traditional cheeses produced from raw milk exhibit a complex microbiota, characterized by a sequence of different microorganisms from milk coagulation and throughout maturation. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play an essential role in traditional cheese making, either as starter cultures that cause the rapid acidification of milk or as secondary microbiota that play an important role during cheese ripening. The enzymes produced by such dynamic LAB communities in raw milk are crucial, since they support proteolysis and lipolysis as chief drivers of flavor and texture of cheese. Recently, several LAB species have been characterized and used as probiotics that successfully promote human health. This review highlights the latest trends encompassing LAB acting in traditional raw milk cheeses (from cow, sheep, and goat milk), and their potential as probiotics and producers of bioactive compounds with health-promoting effects.

Abstract
Thirteen Gram-positive, catalase-positive, rod-shaped single colonies were obtained after culturing a strawberry leaf on de Man–Rogosa–Sharpe agar. Based on 16S rRNA gene and rpoA gene sequence similarities, ranging between 99.0–100% and 96.5–100%, respectively, the 13 isolates were found to be closely related to each other. Two of the independent isolates, AMBP162T and AMBP252, were whole-genome sequenced, and showed to be undistinguishable with an average nucleotide identity (ANI) value of 100 %. Compared to the reference genomes for all species in the family Lactobacillaceae, the AMBP162T genome was most similar to the reference strain of Latilactobacillus curvatus with ANI of only 89.5 %, indicating they were a different species. Based on genotypic and phenotypic data, a novel Latilactobacillus species, Latilactobacillus fragifolii sp. nov., with the type strain AMBP162T (=LMG 32285T=CECT 30357T) is proposed.

Abstract
Four bacterial strains were isolated from two different colony sources of the wax moth Galleria mellonella. They were characterized by a polyphasic approach including 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, core-genome analysis, average nucleotide identity (ANI) analysis, digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH), determination of G+C content, screening of antibiotic resistance genes, and various phenotypic analyses. Initial analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence identities indicated that strain GAL7T was potentially very closely related to Enterococcus casseliflavus and Enterococcus gallinarum, having 99.5-99.9 % sequence similarity. However, further analysis of whole genome sequences revealed a genome size of 3.69 Mb, DNA G+C content of 42.35 mol%, and low dDDH and ANI values between the genomes of strain GAL7T and closest phylogenetic relative E. casseliflavus NBRC 100478T of 59.0 and 94.5 %, respectively, indicating identification of a putative new Enterococcus species. In addition, all novel strains encoded the atypical vancomycin-resistance gene vanC-4. Results of phylogenomic, physiological and phenotypic characterization confirmed that strain GAL7T represented a novel species within the genus Enterococcus, for which the name Enterococcus innesii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GAL7T (=DSM 112306T=NCTC 14608T).

Abstract
A novel lactic acid-producing, Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative and rod-shaped strain, designated as strain C06_No.73T, was isolated from a traditional Japanese fermented beverage called kôso. According to the results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain C06_No.73T belongs to the genus Lentilactobacillus. The closest type strain was Lentilactobacillus curieae CCTCC M 2011381T, with a sequence identity of 98.1 %. The identity values with other strains were all below 97 %. The isolate propagated under the conditions of 18-39 °C (optimum, 27 °C for 48 h incubation) and pH 4.0-7.0 (optimum, pH 6.5). The G+C content of its genomic DNA was determined to be 37.9 mol%. The main fatty acids were C16 : 0, C18 : 1 ω7c, C18 : 1 ω9c and C19 : 0 cyclopropane 11,12. The major polar lipid was identified as phosphatidylglycerol. No isoprenoid quinone was detected. The predominant cell-wall amino acids were lysine, alanine, glutamic acid and aspartic acid. Neither meso-diaminopimelic acid nor ornithine were detected. On the basis of this polyphasic taxonomic study, the isolate is concluded to represent a novel species, for which the name Lentilactobacillus kosonis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is C06_No.73T (=NBRC 111893T=BCRC 81282T).

Abstract
In 2014, Rahkila et al. transferred Leuconostoc gasicomitatum to Leuconostoc gelidum as L. gelidum subsp. gasicomitatum comb. nov. based on a 75 % DNA-DNA hybridization value. In the present study, the taxonomic status of L. gelidum subsp. gasicomitatum is re-evaluated by a polyphasic approach, including 16S rRNA, pheS, rpoA, recA, and atpA gene sequence analyses, phylogenomic treeing, analyses of ANI (average nucleotide identity) and dDDH (digital DNA-DNA hybridization), fatty acid methyl ester analysis and a phenotypic characterization. On the basis of the ANI and dDDH values, we propose to reject the proposal of Rahkila et al. to reclassify L. gasicomitatum as L. gelidum subsp. gasicomitatum.

Abstract
Thirteen Gram-stain-positive bacterial strains were isolated from Chinese traditional pickle and the gut of honeybee (Apis mellifera). These strains were characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The data demonstrated that 12 of the 13 strains represented eight novel species belonging to the genera Apilactobacillus, Secundilactobacillus, Levilactobacillus and Lacticaseibacillus; strains HN36-1T, 887-11T, F79-211-2T, 866-3T, 6-5(1)T, 13B17T, 117-1T and ZW152T were designated as the type strains. Based upon the data of polyphasic characterization obtained in the present study, eight novel species, Apilactobacillus nanyangensis sp. nov., Secundilactobacillus hailunensis sp. nov., Secundilactobacillus yichangensis sp. nov., Levilactobacillus andaensis sp. nov., Levilactobacillus wangkuiensis sp. nov., Levilactobacillus lanxiensis sp. nov., Lacticaseibacillus mingshuiensis sp. nov. and Lacticaseibacillus suilingensis sp. nov., are proposed and the type strains are HN36-1T (=JCM 33867T=CCTCC AB 2019385T), 887-11T (=NCIMB 15201T=CCM 8950T=JCM 33864T=CCTCC AB 2018396T), F79-211-2T (=NCIMB 15254T=JCM 33866T=CCTCC AB 2019384T), 866-3T (=JCM 33863T=CCTCC AB 2019383T), 6-5(1)T (=NCIMB 15229T=CCM 8977T=JCM 33564T=CCTCC AB 2019168T), 13B17T (=NCIMB 15230T=CCM 8979T=JCM 33565T=CCTCC AB 2019167T), 117-1T (=NCIMB 15232T=CCM 8980T=JCM 33567T) and ZW152T (=JCM 34363T=CCTCC AB 2020299T=LMG 32143T=CCM 9110T), respectively.

Huang CH, Chen CC, Lin YC, Chen CH, Lee AY, Liou JS, Gu CT, Huang L. The mutL Gene as a Genome-Wide Taxonomic Marker for High Resolution Discrimination of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Its Closely Related Taxa. Microorganisms 2021; 9:microorganisms9081570. [PMID: 34442649 PMCID: PMC8399863 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms9081570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 07/19/2021] [Accepted: 07/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The current taxonomy of the Lactiplantibacillus plantarum group comprises of 17 closely related species that are indistinguishable from each other by using commonly used 16S rRNA gene sequencing. In this study, a whole-genome-based analysis was carried out for exploring the highly distinguished target genes whose interspecific sequence identity is significantly less than those of 16S rRNA or conventional housekeeping genes. In silico analyses of 774 core genes by the cano-wgMLST_BacCompare analytics platform indicated that csbB, morA, murI, mutL, ntpJ, rutB, trmK, ydaF, and yhhX genes were the most promising candidates. Subsequently, the mutL gene was selected, and the discrimination power was further evaluated using Sanger sequencing. Among the type strains, mutL exhibited a clearly superior sequence identity (61.6–85.6%; average: 66.6%) to the 16S rRNA gene (96.7–100%; average: 98.4%) and the conventional phylogenetic marker genes (e.g., dnaJ, dnaK, pheS, recA, and rpoA), respectively, which could be used to separat tested strains into various species clusters. Consequently, species-specific primers were developed for fast and accurate identification of L. pentosus, L. argentoratensis, L. plantarum, and L. paraplantarum. During this study, one strain (BCRC 06B0048, L. pentosus) exhibited not only relatively low mutL sequence identities (97.0%) but also a low digital DNA–DNA hybridization value (78.1%) with the type strain DSM 20314T, signifying that it exhibits potential for reclassification as a novel subspecies. Our data demonstrate that mutL can be a genome-wide target for identifying and classifying the L. plantarum group species and for differentiating novel taxa from known species.

Abstract
Two strains of a Gram-staining-positive species were isolated from German bulk tank milk. On the basis of their 16S rRNA sequences they were affiliated to the genus Facklamia but could not be assigned to any species with a validly published name. Facklamia miroungae ATCC BAA-466T (97.3 % 16S rRNA sequence similarity), Facklamia languida CCUG 37842T (96.9 %), and Facklamia hominis CCUG 36813T (96.6 %) are the closest relatives. In the 16S rRNA phylogeny and in the core-genome phylogeny strains WS 5301T and WS 5302 form a well-supported, separate lineage. Pairwise average nucleotide identity calculated using MUMmer (ANIm) between WS 5301T and type strains of other Facklamia species is well below the species cut-off (95 %) and ranges from 83.4 to 87.7 %. The DNA G+C content of the type strain is 36.4 mol% and the assembly size of the genome is 2.2 Mb. Cells of WS 5301T are non-motile, non-endospore-forming, oxidase-negative, catalase-negative and facultatively anaerobic cocci. The fastidious species grows at 10-40 °C and with up to 7.0 % (w/v) NaCl in BHI supplemented with 5 g l-1 yeast extract. Major polar lipids are phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and two glycolipids. Predominant fatty acids are C16 : 1ω9c and C18 : 1ω9c. On the basis of their genomic, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics the strains examined in this study represent the same, hitherto unknown species. We propose the name Facklamia lactis sp. nov. for which WS 5301T (=DSM 111018T=LMG 31861T) is the type strain and WS 5302 (=DSM 111019=LMG 31862) is an additional strain of this novel species.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cultures used in food fermentation are often dried to reduce transportation costs and facilitate handling during use. Dried LAB ferments are generally lyophilized to ensure high cell viability. Spray drying has come to the forefront as a promising technique due to its versatility and lower associated energy costs. Adverse conditions during spray drying, such as mechanical stress, dehydration, heating, and oxygen exposure, can lead to low LAB cell viability. This reduced viability has limited spray drying's industrial applications thus far. This review aims to demonstrate the operations and thermodynamic principles that govern spray drying, then correlate them to the damage suffered by LAB cells during the spray-drying process. The particularities of spray drying that might cause LAB cell death are detailed in this review, and the conclusion may enhance future studies on ways to improve cell viability.

Abstract
The study of microbial communities is hampered by the large fraction of still unknown bacteria. However, many of these species have been isolated, yet lack a validly published name or description. The validation of names for novel bacteria requires that the uniqueness of those taxa is demonstrated and their properties are described. The accepted format for this is the protologue, which can be time-consuming to create. Hence, many research fields in microbiology and biotechnology will greatly benefit from new approaches that reduce the workload and harmonise the generation of protologues.We have developed Protologger, a bioinformatic tool that automatically generates all the necessary readouts for writing a detailed protologue. By producing multiple taxonomic outputs, functional features and ecological analysis using the 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences from a single species, the time needed to gather the information for describing novel taxa is substantially reduced. The usefulness of Protologger was demonstrated by using three published isolate collections to describe 34 novel taxa, encompassing 17 novel species and 17 novel genera, including the automatic generation of ecologically and functionally relevant names. We also highlight the need to utilise multiple taxonomic delineation methods, as while inconsistencies between each method occur, a combined approach provides robust placement. Protologger is open source; all scripts and datasets are available, along with a webserver at www.protologger.de.

Abstract
Seven bifidobacterial strains were isolated from the faeces of two adult males of the two-toed sloth (Choloepus didactylus) housed in Parco Natura Viva, in Italy. Comparative sequence analysis of 16S rRNA and of five housekeeping (hsp60, rpoB, clpC, dnaJ, dnaG) genes revealed that these strains were classified into two clusters. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the type strain of Bifidobacterium catenulatum subsp. kashiwanohense DSM 21854T (95.4 %) was the closest neighbour to strain in Cluster I (BRDM 6T), whereas the type strain of Bifidobacterium dentium DSM 20436T (values were in the range of 98‒99.8 %) was the closest neighbour to the other six strains in Cluster II. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of BRDM 6T and of strains in Cluster II with the closely related type strains were 76.0 and 98.9 % (mean value) respectively. Therefore, genotyping based on the genome sequence of the strain BRDM 6T combined with phenotypic analyses clearly revealed that the strain BRDM 6T represents a novel species for which the names Bifidobacterium choloepi sp. nov. (BRDM 6T=NBRC 114053T=BCRC 81222T) is proposed.

Abstract
In the present study, the taxonomic positions of five strains (C, 17-2, LMG 10779T, LMG 18969 and LMG 11483) of Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides were re-evaluated by a polyphasic approach, including the analyses of 16S rRNA, pheS and rpoA gene sequences, cellular fatty acids, average nucleotide and amino acid identities (ANI and AAI), digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH), and phenotypic features. Based on rpoA sequence analysis, the five strains and L. pseudomesenteroides LMG 11482T were divided into two groups: strains C, LMG 10779T and LMG 18969; strains 17-2, LMG 11483 and LMG 11482T. Each of the two groups had almost identical rpoA sequences. The rpoA sequence similarity between strain LMG 10779T and L. pseudomesenteroides LMG 11482T was 95.6 %. Strains LMG 11483 and 17-2 had 98.1 and 97.2 % ANI values, 83.5 and 73.2 % dDDH values, and a 97.0 % AAI value with L. pseudomesenteroides LMG 11482T, greater than the threshold for species demarcation, indicating that strains LMG 11483 and 17-2 belong to L. pseudomesenteroides. Strains LMG 18969 and C shared 97.1 and 98.2 % ANI values, 73.4 and 83.2 % dDDH values, and 96.9 and 96.6 % AAI values with strain LMG 10779T, greater than the threshold for species demarcation, indicating that strains LMG 10779T, LMG 18969 and C represent the same species. The ANI, dDDH and AAI values between strain LMG 10779T and the type strains of phylogenetically related species were 75.2-92.5, 20.0-48.2 and 75.3-93.9 %, respectively, below the thresholds for species demarcation, indicating that strain LMG 10779T represents a novel species within the genus Leuconostoc. On the basis of the results presented here, (i) strains 17-2 and LMG 11483 belong to L. pseudomesenteroides, and (ii) strains LMG 10779T, LMG 18969 and C are considered to represent a novel species within the genus Leuconostoc, for which the name Leuconostoc falkenbergense sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain LMG 10779T (=CCUG 27119T).

Abstract
Nisin is a small peptide produced by Lactococcus lactis ssp lactis that is currently industrially produced. This preservative is often used for growth prevention of pathogenic bacteria contaminating the food products. However, the use of nisin as a food preservative is limited by its low production during fermentation. This low production is mainly attributed to the multitude of parameters influencing the fermentation progress such as bacterial cells activity, growth medium composition (namely carbon and nitrogen sources), pH, ionic strength, temperature, and aeration. This review article focuses on the main parameters that affect nisin production by Lactococcus lactis bacteria. Moreover, nisin applications as a food preservative and the main strategies generally used are also discussed.

Abstract
Still relevant after 19 years, the FAO/WHO definition of probiotics can be translated into four simple and pragmatic criteria allowing one to conclude if specific strains of microorganisms qualify as a probiotic for use in foods and dietary supplements. Probiotic strains must be (i) sufficiently characterized; (ii) safe for the intended use; (iii) supported by at least one positive human clinical trial conducted according to generally accepted scientific standards or as per recommendations and provisions of local/national authorities when applicable; and (iv) alive in the product at an efficacious dose throughout shelf life. We provide clarity and detail how each of these four criteria can be assessed. The wide adoption of these criteria is necessary to ensure the proper use of the word probiotic in scientific publications, on product labels, and in communications with regulators and the general public.

Abstract
Three bifidobacterial Gram-stain-positive, non-spore forming and fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase-positive strains, SMA1T, SMB2 and SMA15T were isolated from the faeces of two adult males of the squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus). On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, the type strain of Bifidobacterium primatium DSM 100687T (99.3%; similarity) was the closest neighbour to strains SMA1T and SMB2, whereas the type strain of Bifidobacterium stellenboschense DSM 23968T (96.5%) was the closest neighbour to strain SMA15T. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of SMA1T and SAM15T with the closely related type strains were 93.7% and 88.1%, respectively. The in silico DNA‒DNA hybridization values with the closest neighbours were 53.1% and 36.9%, respectively. GC contents of strains SMA1T and SMA15T were 63.6 and 66.4 mol%, respectively. Based on the phylogenetic, genotypic and phenotypic data obtained, the strains SMA1T and SMA15T clearly represent two novel taxa within the genus Bifidobacterium for which the names Bifidobacterium saimiriisciurei sp. nov. (type strain SMA1T = BCRC 81223T = NBRC 114049T = DSM 106020T) and Bifidobacterium platyrrhinorum sp. nov. (type strain SMA15T = BCRC 81224T = NBRC 114051T = DSM 106029T) are proposed.

Abstract
Lactobacillus kosoi Chiou et al. 2018 and Lactobacillus micheneri McFrederick et al. 2018 are closely related, and they share 100 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, 99.6 % pheS gene sequence similarity, 100 % rpoA gene sequence similarity, 97.3 % average nucleotide identity (ANI) value and 76.6 % in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (isDDH) value, indicating that they represent the same species. Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) analysis and phenotypic characterization also indicated that L. kosoi and L. micheneri are very similar. We propose L. kosoi Chiou et al. 2018 as a later heterotypic synonym of L. micheneri McFrederick et al. 2018. The taxonomic position of Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. argentoratensis in the L. plantarum group was re-examined using a polyphasic approach, including sequence analyses of 16S rRNA, pheS, rpoA and recA genes, average nucleotide identity analysis, in silico DNA-DNA hybridization, fatty acid methyl ester analysis and phenotypic characterization. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that L. plantarum subsp. argentoratensis was closely related to L. plantarum subsp. plantarum, L. pentosus and L. paraplantarum in the L. plantarum group, sharing 99.6-99.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities. Results of pheS, rpoA and recA gene sequence analyses indicated that L. plantarum subsp. argentoratensis was most closely related to L. plantarum subsp. plantarum, having 91.8 % pheS gene sequence similarity, 98.9 % rpoA gene sequence similarity and 93.1 % recA gene sequence similarity. L. plantarum subsp. argentoratensis DSM 16365T shared 95.6 % ANI value and 62.9 % isDDH value with L. plantarum subsp. plantarum ATCC 14917T. The low isDDH value confirmed that L. plantarum subsp. argentoratensis and L. plantarum subsp. plantarum represent two different species, rather than two different subspecies in the L. plantarum group. On the basis of the data from polyphasic characterization obtained in the present study and in previous studies, L. plantarum subsp. argentoratensis is elevated to the species level and represents a novel species of the genus Lactobacillus, for which the name Lactobacillus argentoratensis sp. nov. is proposed and the type strain is DKO 22T (=CIP 108320T=DSM 16365T=JCM 16169T). Two novel Gram-stain-positive bacterial strains, designated 1206-1T and F027-1-2, were isolated from traditional pickle in Heilongjiang Province, PR China, and from the intestinal tract of a honey bee (Apis mellifera) in Hubei Province, PR China, respectively. The two bacteria were characterized by a polyphasic approach, including 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, pheS gene sequence analysis, rpoA gene sequence analysis, fatty acid methyl ester analysis, average nucleotide identity analysis, in silico DNA-DNA hybridization analysis and an analysis of phenotypic features. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strains 1206-1T and F027-1-2 were distantly related to Lactobacillus sharpeae, Lactobacillus hulanensis, Lactobacillus songhuajiangensis, Lactobacillus pantheris, Lactobacillus thailandensis, Lactobacillus camelliae, Lactobacillus jixianensis, Lactobacillus nasuensis, Lactobacillus baoqingensis, Lactobacillus manihotivorans and Lactobacillus porcinae. Strain 1206-1T exhibited 94.2-96.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, 69.5-83.3 % pheS gene sequence similarities and 73.1-90.3 % rpoA gene sequence similarities to type strains of phylogenetically related species. ANI and isDDH values between strain 1206-1T and the type strains of phylogenetically related species were 52.7-73.7 % and 21.1-30.1 %, respectively. On the basis of the data obtained in the present study, a novel species, Lactobacillus zhaodongensis sp. nov. is proposed and the type strain is 1206-1T (=CCM 8981T=CCTCC AB 2019200T=LMG 31620T).

Abstract
Two Bifidobacterium strains, TMW 2.2057T and TMW 2.1764 were isolated from two different homemade water kefirs from Germany. Both strains were oxidase- and catalase-negative and Gram-staining-positive. Cells were non-motile, irregular rods that were aerotolerant anaerobes. On basis of fructose 6-phosphate phosphoketolase activity, they were assigned to the family Bifidobacteriaceae. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA and concatenated housekeeping genes (clpC, dnaB, dnaG, dnaJ, hsp60 and rpoB) demonstrated that both strains represented a member of the genus Bifidobacterium, with Bifidobacterium subtile DSM 20096T as the closest phylogenetic relative (98.35 % identity). Both strains can be distinguished using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA fingerprinting. Analysis of concatenated marker gene sequences as well as average nucleotide identity by blast (ANIb) and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (isDDH) calculations of their genome sequences confirmed Bifidobacterium subtile DSM 20096T as the closest relative (87.91 and 35.80 % respectively). All phylogenetic analyses allow differentiation of strains TMW 2.2057T and TMW 2.1764 from all hitherto described species of the genus Bifidobacterium with validly published names. We therefore propose a novel species with the name Bifidobacterium tibiigranuli, for which TMW 2.2057T (=DSM 108414T=LMG 31086T) is the type strain.

Abstract
Eight water kefir fermentation series differing in buffer capacity and calcium concentration of the water used for fermentation were studied during eight backslopping steps. High buffer capacities resulted in high pH values and high calcium concentrations resulted in low pH values at the end of each backslopping step. When the water buffer capacity and/or calcium concentration were below certain minima, the water kefir grain growth decreased gradually over multiple backsloppings. High water buffer capacities resulted in high concentrations of residual total carbohydrate concentrations and low metabolite concentrations. Further, high water buffer capacities resulted in high ratios of lactic acid bacteria to yeasts, which was reflected in high molar ratios of the concentrations of lactic acid to ethanol and acetic acid to ethanol. The most prevalent microorganisms of the water kefir grain inoculum and grains of all fermentation series at the end of the eighth backslopping step were Lactobacillus hilgardii, Lactobacillus nagelii, Lactobacillus paracasei, Bifidobacterium aquikefiri, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Dekkera bruxellensis. These microbial communities were influenced by the water buffer capacity and had an impact on the substrate consumption and metabolite production during water kefir fermentation.

Abstract
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in beef cattle. Recent evidence suggests that commensal bacteria of the bovine nasopharynx have an important role in maintaining respiratory health by providing colonization resistance against pathogens. The objective of this study was to screen and select bacterial therapeutic candidates from the nasopharynxes of feedlot cattle to mitigate the BRD pathogen Mannheimia haemolytica In a stepwise approach, bacteria (n = 300) isolated from the nasopharynxes of 100 healthy feedlot cattle were identified and initially screened (n = 178 isolates from 12 different genera) for growth inhibition of M. haemolytica Subsequently, selected isolates were evaluated for the ability to adhere to bovine turbinate (BT) cells (n = 47), compete against M. haemolytica for BT cell adherence (n = 15), and modulate gene expression in BT cells (n = 10). Lactobacillus strains had the strongest inhibition of M. haemolytica, with 88% of the isolates (n =33) having inhibition zones ranging from 17 to 23 mm. Adherence to BT cells ranged from 3.4 to 8.0 log10 CFU per 105 BT cells. All the isolates tested in competition assays reduced M. haemolytica adherence to BT cells (32% to 78%). Among 84 bovine genes evaluated, selected isolates upregulated expression of interleukin 8 (IL-8) and IL-6 (P < 0.05). After ranking isolates for greatest inhibition, adhesion, competition, and immunomodulation properties, 6 Lactobacillus strains from 4 different species were selected as the best candidates for further development as intranasal bacterial therapeutics to mitigate M. haemolytica infection in feedlot cattle.IMPORTANCE Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a significant animal health issue impacting the beef industry. Current BRD prevention strategies rely mainly on metaphylactic use of antimicrobials when cattle enter feedlots. However, a recent increase in BRD-associated bacterial pathogens that are resistant to metaphylactic antimicrobials highlights a pressing need for the development of novel mitigation strategies. Based upon previous research showing the importance of respiratory commensal bacteria in protecting against bronchopneumonia, this study aimed to develop bacterial therapeutics that could be used to mitigate the BRD pathogen Mannheimia haemolytica Bacteria isolated from the respiratory tracts of healthy cattle were characterized for their inhibitory, adhesive, and immunomodulatory properties. In total, 6 strains were identified as having the best properties for use as intranasal therapeutics to inhibit M. haemolytica If successful in vivo, these strains offer an alternative to metaphylactic antimicrobial use in feedlot cattle for mitigating BRD.

Abstract
The nasopharyngeal (NP) microbiota is important in defining respiratory health in feedlot cattle, with certain NP commensals potentially protecting against bovine respiratory disease (BRD) pathogens. In the present study, we evaluated longitudinal changes in the NP microbiota with a focus on lactic acid-producing bacteria (LAB) and their linkage with BRD-associated bacteria in steers (n = 13) that were first transported to an auction market, and then to a feedlot. Deep nasopharyngeal swabs were collected at the farm before transportation to the auction market (day 0), at feedlot placement (day 2), and 5 (day 7) and 12 (day 14) days after feedlot placement. Swabs were processed for the assessment of the NP microbiota using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and for the detection of Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, and Histophilus somni by culturing. Possible associations among the top 15 most relatively abundant bacterial genera were predicted using a stepwise-selected generalized linear mixed model. Correlations between LAB and BRD-associated Pasteurellaceae families were also assessed. In addition, antimicrobial activity of selected LAB isolates against M. haemolytica was evaluated in vitro. A noticeable shift was observed in the NP microbial community structure, and in the relative abundance of LAB families as a result of auction market exposure, transport and feedlot placement. Varying degrees of positive or negative associations between the 15 most relatively abundant genera were observed. Many of the LAB families were inversely correlated with the BRD-associated Pasteurellaceae family as the cattle were transported to the auction market and then to the feedlot. Nearly all steers were culture-negative for M. haemolytica and H. somni, and P. multocida became less prevalent after feedlot placement. Isolates from the Lactobacillaceae, Streptococcaceae, and Enterococcaceae families inhibited the growth of M. haemolytica. The results of this study indicated that the NP microbiota became more diverse with an increase in microbial richness following transport to an auction market and feedlot. This study provides evidence of potential cooperation and exclusion taking place in the respiratory microbial community of cattle which may be useful for developing microbial-based strategies to mitigate BRD.

Abstract
A novel Bifidobacterium strain, MRM 9.3T, was isolated from a faecal sample of a baby common marmoset (Callithrixjacchus). Cells were Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, non-sporulating, non-haemolytic, facultatively anaerobic and fructose 6-phosphate phosphoketolase-positive. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA genes as well as multilocus sequences (representing hsp60, rpoB, clpC, dnaJ and dnaG genes) and the core genomes revealed that strain MRM 9.3T exhibited phylogenetic relatedness to Bifidobacterium myosotis DSM 100196T. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences confirmed the phylogenetic results showing the highest gene sequence identity with strain B.ifidobacterium myosotis DSM 100196T (95.6 %). The average nucleotide identity, amino acid average identity and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization values between MRM 9.3T and DSM 100196T were 79.9, 72.1 and 28.5 %, respectively. Phenotypic and genotypic features clearly showed that the strain MRM 9.3T represents a novel species, for which the name Bifidobacterium jacchi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MRM 9.3T (=DSM 103362T =JCM 31788T).

Abstract
The family Bifidobacteriaceae constitutes an important phylogenetic group that particularly includes bifidobacterial taxa demonstrating proven or debated positive effects on host health. The increasingly widespread application of probiotic cultures in the twenty-first century requires detailed classification to the level of particular strains. This study aimed to apply the glutamine synthetase class I (glnAI) gene region (717 bp representing approximately 50% of the entire gene sequence) using specific PCR primers for the classification, typing, and phylogenetic analysis of bifidobacteria and closely related scardovial genera. In the family Bifidobacteriaceae, this is the first report on the use of this gene for such purposes. To achieve high-value results, almost all valid Bifidobacteriaceae type strains (75) and 15 strains isolated from various environments were evaluated. The threshold value of the glnAI gene identity among Bifidobacterium species (86.9%) was comparable to that of other phylogenetic/identification markers proposed for bifidobacteria and was much lower compared to the 16S rRNA gene. Further statistical and phylogenetic analyses suggest that the glnAI gene can be applied as a novel genetic marker in the classification, genotyping, and phylogenetic analysis of isolates belonging to the family Bifidobacteriaceae.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, catalase-positive and facultatively anaerobic coccus, designated ZY16052T, was isolated from mesenteric lymph nodes of a sick piglet in Kunming, Yunnan Province, PR China and its taxonomic position was studied by following a polyphasic approach. Optimal growth was observed at 37 °C, pH 8.0 and 2 % NaCl (w/v) on Columbia agar. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ZY16052T formed a separated evolutionary lineage from recognized genera of the family Aerococcaceae and shared low similarity to its closest related species Facklamiasourekii (93.8 %) and Ignavigranum ruoffiae (93.4 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on the housekeeping gene recA indicated that strain ZY16052T represented a deep and distinct evolutionary lineage, and was well separated from all genera in the family Aerococcaceae, with very low sequence similarity(≤73.2 %). Sequence analysis based on the housekeeping gene rpoA indicated that strain ZY16052T shared very low similarity ≤77.0 % to related genera. The genomic OrthoANI values between strain ZY16052T and type species of related genera in the family Aerococcaceae and species in the genus Facklamia were ≤67.77 and ≤68.11 %, respectively. The genomic G+C content was 42.3 mol%. The predominant fatty acids (>5 %) were C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c, C14 : 0 and summed feature 5 (C18 : 2ω6,9c and/or C18 : 0 ante). The major polar lipids were digalactosyldiacylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, diacylglycerols, triacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid. The peptidoglycan contained the amino acids lysine, glycine, alanine and glutamic acid, which is characteristic of peptidoglycan type A1a. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, we propose that the unknown bacterium be classified as Suicoccus acidiformans gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Suicoccus acidiformans is ZY16052T (=CCTCC AB 2017017T=DSM 105755T).

Abstract
Whole genome sequence analysis (digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity) was carried out for 81 sequenced full genomes of the genus Gardnerella, including ten determined in this study, and indicated the existence of 13 genomic species, of which five consist of only one strain and of which only five contain more than four sequenced genomes. Furthermore, a collection of ten Gardnerella strains, representing the emended species G. vaginalis and the newly described species Gardnerella leopoldii, Gardnerella piotii and Gardnerella swidsinskii, was studied. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight MS analysis of the protein signatures identified specific peaks that can be used to differentiate these four species. Only strains of G. vaginalis produce β-galactosidase. We emend the description of G. vaginalis (type strain ATCC 14018T=LMG 7832T=CCUG 3717T) and describe the novel species Gardnerella leopoldii sp. nov. (UGent 06.41T=LMG 30814T=CCUG 72425T), Gardnerella piotii sp. nov. (UGent 18.01T=LMG 30818T=CCUG 72427T) and Gardnerella swidsinskii sp. nov. (GS 9838-1T=LMG 30812T=CCUG 72429T).

Abstract
Isolation of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is the first and crucial step to study possible roles of LAB in the environment, especially in food fermentation. This is also important to use the organisms for further application. LAB are diverse bacterial group and have diverse growth characteristics. Culture condition of LAB is thus varied, and selection of a suitable culture medium is essential for the purposes. Identification is also an important step, since certain desirable and undesirable characteristics are shared within species. Identification was classically carried out by phenotypic characteristics but is usually performed by DNA sequence-based approaches. 16S rRNA gene sequencing is generally used for identification, and sequencing of housekeeping genes is used when needed. In addition, identification based on whole-genome sequence similarities is becoming common. Here we describe isolation and identification of LAB briefly.

Abstract
Human feces were streaked onto MRS Agar adjusted to pH 2.5, 3.0, and 6.4, respectively, and medium supplemented with 1.0% (w/v) bile salts. Two aciduric strains, identified as Lactobacillus reuteri HFI-LD5 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus HFI-K2 (based on 16S rDNA and recA sequences), were non-hemolytic and did not hydrolyze mucin. The surface of Lactobacillus reuteri HFI-LD5 cells has a weak negative charge, whereas Lactobacillus rhamnosus HFI-K2 has acidic and basic properties, and produces exopolysaccharides (EPS). None of the strains produce bacteriocins. Both strains are resistant to several antibiotics, including sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and sulphonamides. The ability of Lactobacillus reuteri HFI-LD5 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus HFI-K2 to grow at pH 2.5 suggests that they will survive passage through the stomach. EPS production may assist in binding to intestinal mucus, especially in the small intestinal tract, protect epithelial cells, and stimulate the immune system. Lactobacillus reuteri HFI-LD5 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus HFI-K2 may be used as probiotics, especially in the treatment of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

Abstract
The genus Lactobacillus includes over 200 species that are widely used in fermented food preservation and biotechnology or that are explored for beneficial effects on health. Naming, classifying, and comparing lactobacilli have been challenging due to the high level of phenotypic and genotypic diversity that they display and because of the uncertain degree of relatedness between them and associated genera. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of dividing the genus Lactobacillus into more homogeneous genera/clusters, exploiting genome-based data. The relatedness of 269 species belonging primarily to the families Lactobacillaceae and Leuconostocaceae was investigated through phylogenetic analysis (by the use of ribosomal proteins and housekeeping genes) and the assessment of the average amino acid identity (AAI) and the percentage of conserved proteins (POCP). For each subgeneric group that emerged, conserved signature genes were identified. Both distance-based and sequence-based metrics showed that the Lactobacillus genus was paraphyletic and revealed the presence of 10 methodologically consistent subclades, which were also characterized by a distinct distribution of conserved signature orthologues. We present two ways to reclassify lactobacilli: a conservative division into two subgeneric groups based on the presence/absence of a key carbohydrate utilization gene or a more radical subdivision into 10 groups that satisfy more stringent criteria for genomic relatedness.IMPORTANCE Lactobacilli have significant scientific and economic value, but their extraordinary diversity means that they are not robustly classified. The 10 homogeneous genera/subgeneric entities that we identify here are characterized by uniform patterns of the presence/absence of specific sets of genes which offer potential as discovery tools for understanding differential biological features. Reclassification/subdivision of the genus Lactobacillus into more uniform taxonomic nuclei will also provide accurate molecular markers that will be enabling for regulatory approval applications. Reclassification will facilitate scientific communication related to lactobacilli and prevent misidentification issues, which are still the major cause of mislabeling of probiotic and food products reported worldwide.

Abstract
Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus paracasei, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus are phenotypically and genotypically closely related, and together comprise the L. casei group. Although the strains of this group are commercially valuable as probiotics, the taxonomic status and nomenclature of the L. casei group have long been contentious because of the difficulties in identifying these three species by using the most frequently used genotypic methodology of 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Long used as the gold standard for species classification, DNA–DNA hybridization is laborious, requires expert skills, and is difficult to use routinely in laboratories. Currently, genome-based comparisons, including average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH), are commonly applied to bacterial taxonomy as alternatives to the gold standard method for the demarcating phylogenetic relationships. To establish quick and accurate methods for identifying strains in the L. casei group at the species and subspecies levels, we developed species- and subspecies-specific identification methods based on housekeeping gene sequences and whole-cell matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) spectral pattern analysis. By phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated housekeeping gene sequences (dnaJ, dnaK, mutL, pheS, and yycH), 53 strains were separated into four clusters corresponding to the four species: L. casei, L. paracasei and L. rhamnosus, and Lactobacillus chiayiensis sp. nov. A multiplex minisequencing assay using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-specific primers based on the dnaK gene sequences and species-specific primers based on the mutL gene sequences provided high resolution that enabled the strains at the species level to be identified as L. casei, L. paracasei, and L. rhamnosus. By MALDI-TOF MS analysis coupled with an internal database and ClinProTools software, species- and subspecies-level L. casei group strains were identified based on reliable scores and species- and subspecies-specific MS peaks. The L. paracasei strains were distinguished clearly at the subspecies level based on subspecies-specific MS peaks. This article describes the rapid and accurate methods used for identification and classification of strains in the L. casei group based on housekeeping gene sequences and MALDI-TOF MS analysis as well as the novel speciation of this group including L. chiayiensis sp. nov. and ‘Lactobacillus zeae’ by genome-based methods.
