Lacticaseibacillus pabuli sp. nov., isolated from fermented cattle feed

Strain BSF-3M is a Gram-stain-positive, non-flagellated, facultative anaerobic and rod-shaped bacterium that was isolated from fermented feed collected at a cattle farm in the Daejeon region of the Republic of Korea. It was studied using polyphasic taxonomic methods. Using 16S rRNA gene sequences and the resulting phylogenetic tree, the strain was primarily identified as a member of the genus . Strain BSF-3M contained a chromosome of 2.5 Mbp and a plasmid of 33.4 kbp. The G+C content of genomic DNA was 51.3 mol%. Strain BSF-3M had the highest ortho-average nucleotide identity value of 73.7 % with 7-19 , its closest relative in the phylogenetic tree based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences and the phylogenomic tree based on up-to-date bacterial core genes. Based on the results of a polyphasic taxonomic study, strain BSF-3M represents a novel species in the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BSF-3M (=KACC 23028 =NBRC 116014 ).
