Latilactobacillus fragifolii sp. nov., isolated from leaves of a strawberry plant (Fragaria x ananassa).

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, AMBP162^T 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 AMBP162^T 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 geno
