Liquorilactobacillus nagelii (Edwards et al. 2000) Zheng et al. 2020.
Gram-positive rods (0.5 x 1.0-1.5 μm).
Colonies on MR agar are opaque with smooth edges and are approximately 2 mm
diameter after 4-5 days growth at 25 ºC. Can grow at  15 and 45 ºC, weak growth at 5
ºC. Riboflavin is essential for growth. Can grow in NaCl 5%. Range of pH 3.7-8.0.
Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from partially fermented grape juice.
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 esculin hydrolysis, fermentation of: N-acetylglucosamine, amygdalin, cellobiose, fructose, galactose, gentiobiose,
glucose (acid without gas production), maltose, mannitol, mannose, rhamnose, salicin, sorbitol, sorbose, sucrose, and trehalose.

Negative results for arginine hydrolysis, catalase, nitrate reduction, urease, fermentation of: adonitol, arabinose, arabitol, arbutin,
dulcitol, erythritol, fucose, gluconate, glycerol, glycogen, inositol, inulin, 2- or 5-ketogluconate, lactose, melezitose, melibiose,
raffinose, ribose, starch, tagatose, turanose, and xylose.
