description: DESCRIPTION OF LIMOSILACTOBACILLUS ALBERTENSIS SP. NOV.   
 Limosilactobacillus albertensis (al.ber.ten′ sis. N.L. masc. adj. albertensis, pertaining to Alberta, a province of Canada where the isolates were characterized and identified).   
 Cells are Gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore forming, catalase-negative and heterofermentative. Cells are rodshaped, measuring 0.8–2.4×0.6–1.2 µm. Colonies of the type strain Lr 3000 T on MRS agar plate incubated at the anaerobic condition at 37 °C for 2 days are whitish, opaque, raised, circular and entire, with a diameter of 0.8–1.5 mm; colonies on MRS agar plate at the aerobic condition show similar morphological characteristics as colonies on MRS agar incubated anaerobically, but with a smaller diameter of 0.5–1 mm. D-Lactate, L-lactate and gas are produced from glucose fermentation by the type strain Lr 3000 T. Cell growth occurs at 30, 37 and 45 °C (optimum), but not at 15 ° C. Growth occurs at pH 4.0–8.0 in MRS broth. The major fatty acids of Lr 3000 T are summed feature 7 (combination of C 19:1 ω 6 c and/or C 19:0 cyclo ω 10 c) and C 18:1 ω 9c, followed by C 16:0. Acid is produced from L-arabinose,D-ribose,D-xylose, D-galactose, D-glucose, methyl α- D-glucopyranoside, aesculin, maltose, lactose, melibiose, sucrose and raffinose; the fermentation of potassium gluconate is strain-specific; acid is not produced from D-fructose,D-mannose, glycerol, erythritol, D-arabinose, L-xylose, D-adonitol, methyl β - Dxylopyranoside, L-sorbose,L-rhamnose, dulcitol, inositol, D-mannitol, D-sorbitol, methyl α- D-mannopyranoside, N -acetylglucosamine, amygdalin, arbutin, salicin, cellobiose, trehalose, inulin, melezitose, starch, glycogen, xylitol, gentiobiose, turanose, D-lyxose, D-tagatose, D-fucose, L-fucose,D-arabitol,L-arabitol, potassium 2-ketogluconate or potassium 5-ketogluconate. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of Lr 3000 T contains the amino acids alanine (Ala), glutamic acid (Glu), lysine (Lys) and aspartic acid (Asp), with the molar ratio 1.1 (Ala):0.8 (Asp):1.0 (Glu):1.0 (Lys), suggesting the cell-wall peptidoglycan type A4α L-Lys– D-Asp [38]. The DNA G+C content of Lr 3000 T is 38.8mol%.   
 The type strain, Lr 3000 T (=DSM 110573 T =LMG 31632 T), was isolated from the stomach of a hamster in the USA.
