Overview

  • Lentilactobacillus kisonensis, (aka Lactobacillus kisonensis), is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 38.8%. Lentilactobacillus kisonensis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Rossi2016; Watanabe2009a)



  • This organism has been recovered from non-salted pickle solution. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
