Homotypic synonym: Liquorilactobacillus satsumensis (Endo and Okada 2020) Zheng et al. 2020.
Gram-positive rods (0.6-0.8 x 1.0-1.5 μm) occurring singly or in pairs. Motile by
peritrichous flagella.
Colonies on MRS agar are white, smooth, and 2 mm in diameter after incubation for 2
days. Can grow at 15 and 45 ºC; no growth at 4 or 50 ºC. Can grow in pH 3.5, and in
5% NaCl medium.
Isolated from shochu mashes collected at a shochu distillery in the South Kyushu district of Japann.
Undetermined.

Obligately homofermentative (hexoses are fermented almost exclusively to lactic acid
by the Embden-Meyerhof pathway; pentoses or gluconate are not fermented).
Positive results for fermentation of: amygdalin, esculin, D-fructose, beta-gentibiose, mannitol, D-mannose, methyl
alpha-D-glucopyranoside, N-acetylglucosamine (weak), salicin, sucrose, D-sorbitol, D-tagatose, turanose, trehalose, and D-xylose.
Negative results for catalase, nitrate reduction, fermentation of: L-arabinose, D-arabitol, lactose, maltose, methyl
alpha-D-mannopyranoside, melibiose, raffinose, ribose, L-rhamnose, L-sorbose, and starch.
Variable results for: cellobiose, galactose, gluconate, and melezitose.
