description: DESCRIPTION OF LIMOSILACTOBACILLUS AGRESTIS SP. NOV.   
 Limosilactobacillus agrestis (a.gres′ tis. L. masc. adj. agrestis, wild, referring to the isolation of the type strain from wild rodents).   
 Cells are Gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, catalase-negative and heterofermentative. Cells are rodshaped, measuring 0.9–2.7×0.6–0.8 µm. Colonies of the type strain WF-MT5-AT on MRS agar plate incubated at the anaerobic condition at 37 °C for 2 days are yellowish, translucent, flat, circular shape but irregular edge, with a diameter of 2.2–5.2 mm; no colony appears on MRS agar plate incubated at the aerobic condition at 37 °C for 2 days. D-Lactate, L-lactate and gas are produced from glucose fermentation by the type strain WF-MT5-AT. Cell growth occurs at 37 °C, slow growth is observed at 30 and 45 °C and no growth occurs at 15 ° C. Growth occurs at pH 4.0–8.0 in MRS broth. For WF-MT5-AT, the major fatty acids are C 16:0, followed by C 19:0 cyclo ω 8 c. Acid is produced from L-arabinose and aesculin; the fermentation of D-ribose, D-galactose, D-glucose, maltose, melibiose, sucrose and raffinose is strain-specific; acid is not produced from D-xylose, D-fructose, D-mannose, methyl α- Dglucopyranoside, lactose, potassium gluconate, 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 WF-MT5-AT contains the amino acids alanine (Ala), glutamic acid (Glu), lysine (Lys), aspartic acid (Asp), serine (Ser) and threonine (Thr), with the molar ratio 1.1 (Ala):0.8 (Asp):1.0 (Glu):0.7 (Lys):0.1 (Thr):0.1 (Ser), suggesting the cell-wall peptidoglycan type A4α L-Lys–D-Asp by [38]. The DNA G+C content of WF-MT5-AT is 38.0mol%.   
 The type strain is WF-MT5-AT (=DSM 110569 T =LMG 31629 T), which was isolated from the jejunum of field vole (Microtus agrestis) caught in the Vilnius area in Lithuania [13].
