Homotypic synonym: Secundilactobacillus odoratitofui (Chao et al. 2010) Zheng et al. 2020.
Gram-positive, rods, 0.3-0.4 x 1.0-3.0 µm, occurring singly or in pairs. Nonmotile.
After anaerobic growth at 30 ºC for 48 h, colonies on MRS agar are 1-1.5 mm in
diameter, milk white, translucent, smooth and circular with entire edges. Grows at 15
ºC, variable at 45 ºC, but not at 4 ºC. Can grow in 4% NaCl, but not in 6.5% or 8%
NaCl. Can grow in pH 4.0-8.0. Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from fermented brine used for stinky tofu production in Taipei County, Taiwan.
Undetermined.
