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. [3]

The cells of C. kimchii are short, slender and rod-shaped. The bacterium is Gram-positive, non-spore-forming and non-motile. [2]

<i>Oenococcus</i> Genus of bacteria

Oenococcus is a genus of gram-positive bacteria, placed within the family Lactobacillaceae. The only species in the genus was Oenococcus oeni. In 2006, the species Oenococcus kitaharae was identified. As its name implies, Oenococcus oeni holds major importance in the field of oenology, where it is the primary bacterium involved in completing malolactic fermentation.

<i>Arcanobacterium</i> Genus of bacteria

Arcanobacterium is a genus of bacteria. They are gram-positive, non–acid fast, nonmotile, facultatively anaerobic, and non–endospore forming. They are widely distributed in nature in the microbiota of animals and are mostly innocuous. Some can cause disease in humans and other animals. As with various species of a microbiota, they usually are not pathogenic but can occasionally opportunistically capitalize on atypical access to tissues or weakened host defenses.

<i>Oenococcus oeni</i> Species of bacterium

Oenococcus oeni is a Gram-positive bacterial species in the genus of Oenococcus. It was the only species in the genus until 2006, when the species Oenococcus kitaharae was identified. As its name implies, Oe. oeni holds major importance in the field of oenology, where it is the primary bacterium involved in completing the malolactic fermentation.

Paucilactobacillus wasatchensis is a species of heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria (LAB). It is a non-starter LAB that was first isolated from aged Cheddar cheese showing gas defects from three different continents. The growth of P. wasatchensis is accelerated when ripening cheese is supplemented with ribose and galactose and incubated at elevated temperature. P. wasatchensis can be controlled by pasteurization, but post-pasteurization sources of contamination must be controlled.
