Limosilactobacillus
''Limosilactobacillus'' is a thermophilic and heterofermentative genus of lactic acid bacteria created in 2020 by splitting from ''Lactobacillus''. The name is derived from the Latin "slimy", referring to the property of most strains in the genus to produce exopolysaccharides from sucrose. The genus currently includes 31 species or subspecies, most of these were isolated from the intestinal tract of humans or animals. ''Limosilactobacillus reuteri'' has been used as a model organism to evaluate the host-adaptation of lactobacilli to the human and animal intestine and for the recruitment of intestinal lactobacilli for food fermentations. ''Limosilactobacillus fermentum'' is an exception as this species is not considered host adapted but nomadic ''Lm. reuteri'', ''Limosilactobacillus pontis'' and other limosilactobacilli occur frequently in back-slopped cereal fermentations while ''Lm. fermentum'' reliably occurs in spontaneous cereal fermentations. ''Lm. reuteri'' and ''Lm. ferm ...
