Apilactobacillus nanyangensis sp. nov., Secundilactobacillus hailunensis sp. nov., Secundilactobacillus yichangensis sp. nov., Levilactobacillus andaensis sp. nov., Levilactobacillus wangkuiensis sp. nov., Levilactobacillus lanxiensis sp. nov., Lacticaseibacillus mingshuiensis sp. nov. and Lacticaseibacillus suilingensis sp. nov., isolated from traditional Chinese pickle and the gut of honeybee (Apis mellifera)

Thirteen Gram-stain-positive bacterial strains were isolated from Chinese traditional pickle and the gut of honeybee (Apis mellifera). These strains were characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The data demonstrated that 12 of the 13 strains represented eight novel species belonging to the genera Apilactobacillus, Secundilactobacillus, Levilactobacillus and Lacticaseibacillus; strains HN36-1(T), 887-11(T), F79-211-2(T), 866-3(T), 6-5(1)(T), 13B17(T), 117-1(T) and ZW152(T) were designated as the type strains. Based upon the data of polyphasic characterization obtained in the present study, eight novel species, Apilactobacillus nanyangensis sp. nov., Secundilactobacillus hailunensis sp. nov., Secundilactobacillus yichangensis sp. nov., Levilactobacillus andaensis sp. nov., Levilactobacillus wangkuiensis sp. nov., Levilactobacillus lanxiensis sp. nov., Lacticaseibacillus mingshuiensis sp. nov. and Lacticaseibacillus suilingensis sp. nov., are proposed and the type strains are HN36-1(T) (=JCM 33867(T)=CCTCC AB 2019385(T)), 887-11(T) (=NCIMB 15201(T)=CCM 8950(T)=JCM 33864(T)=CCTCC AB 2018396(T)), F79-211-2(T) (=NCIMB 15254(T)=JCM 33866(T)=CCTCC AB 2019384(T)), 866-3(T) (=JCM 33863(T)=CCTCC AB 2019383(T)), 6-5(1)(T) (=NCIMB 15229(T)=CCM 8977(T)=JCM 33564(T)=CCTCC AB 2019168(T)), 13B17(T) (=NCIMB 15230(T)=CCM 8979(T)=JCM 33565(T)=CCTCC AB 2019167(T)), 117-1(T) (=NCIMB 15232(T)=CCM 8980(T)=JCM 33567(T)) and ZW152(T) (=JCM 34363(T)=CCTCC AB 2020299(T)=LMG 32143(T)=CCM 9110(T)), respectively.
