Apilactobacillus is a genus of bacteria from the family of Lactobacillaceae. [1] [2]
The genus Apilactobacillus comprises the following species: [2]
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature [2] and the phylogeny is based on whole-genome sequences, [1] except for the recently described A. nanyangensis , which has been added based on a 16S rRNA gene phylogeny by the GGDC web server.

The Lactobacillaceae are a family of lactic acid bacteria. It is the only family in the lactic acid bacteria which includes homofermentative and heterofermentative organisms; in the Lactobacillaceae, the pathway used for hexose fermentation is a genus-specific trait. Lactobacillaceae include the homofermentative lactobacilli Lactobacillus, Holzapfelia, Amylolactobacillus, Bombilactobacillus, Companilactobacillus, Lapidilactobacillus, Agrilactobacillus, Schleiferilactobacillus, Loigolactobacillus, Lacticaseibacillus, Latilactobacillus, Dellaglioa, Liquorilactobacillus, Ligilactobacillus, and Lactiplantibacillus; the heterofermentative lactobacilli Furfurilactobacillus, Paucilactobacillus, Limosilactobacillus, Fructilactobacillus, Acetilactobacillus, Apilactobacillus, Levilactobacillus, Secundilactobacillus, and Lentilactobacillus, which were previously classified in the genus Lactobacillus; and the heterofermentative genera Convivina, Fructobacillus, Leuconostoc, Oenococcus, and Weissella which were previously classified in the Leuconostocaceae.
Companilactobacillus kimchii is a bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacterium of the genus Companilactobacillus. It is named for and found in the Korean fermented-vegetable food kimchi.
Agrilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria.
Bombilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria.
Fructilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria.
Furfurilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria.
Lacticaseibacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria.
Lactiplantibacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria.
Lapidilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria.
Latilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria.
Lentilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria.
Levilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria.
Ligilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria associated with vertebrate hosts, formed through the 2020 division of the Lactobacillus genus. Most of these homofermentative species are motile and express urease to survive gastric acids, making them popular choices for probiotics. The G/C content of this genus varies between 32.5-43.3%.
Liquorilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria.
Paucilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria.
Schleiferilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria.
Secundilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria containing secondary fermenters separated from the primary fermenters of Lactobacillus after the latter group depletes hexoses and disaccharides. These Gram-positive, rod-shaped heterofermenters have been isolated from beer and apple cider, and they are generally incapable of reducing fructose to mannitol.
Convivina intestini is a species of lactic acid bacteria.
Fructobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria.
Acetilactobacillus jinshanensis is a species of lactic acid bacteria.
