Weissella is a genus of gram-positive bacteria placed within the family Lactobacillaceae, formerly considered species of the Leuconostoc paramesenteroides group. The morphology of Weissella species varies from spherical or lenticular cells to irregular rods. Several strains of Weissella cibaria and Weissella confusa have shown probiotic potential. In particular, the cell-free culture supernatant of Weissella confusa shows a number of beneficial characteristics, such as antibacterial potential and anti-inflammatory efficiency. However, several strains of W. confusa are opportunistic bacteria. A number of studies have been done on the safety of the bacterial species, indicating their probiotic potential. The Senate Commission on Food Safety has validated the use of W. confusa in food.
Ligilactobacillus acidipiscis is a species in the genus Ligilactobacillus. It is a homofermentative, rod-shaped lactic acid bacteria. Its type strain is FS60-1T.
Weissella koreensis is a species of Gram-positive bacteria in the family Leuconostocaceae. The bacteria has irregular cells, is tolerant of acid, and does not develop spores. It was described by Lee et al. in 2002.
Lewinella is a Gram-negative, chemoorganotrophic and aerobic genus from the family Lewinellaceae.
Thalassotalea is an aerobic and chemo-organo-heterotrophic genus of bacteria from the family Colwelliaceae which occur in the ocean and in sea ice.
Weissella kimchii is a Gram-positive bacterium from the genus of Weissella which has been isolated from fermented cassava from Ketou in Benin.
Weissella ceti is a Gram-positive and non-spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Weissella which was first isolated from beaked whales. Erstwhile believed that W. ceti could cause hemorrhagic illness in Rainbow trouts, however, seems to be a different species from the same genus: Weissella tructae.
