Lactobacillus hegangensis sp. nov., Lactobacillus suibinensis sp. nov., Lactobacillus daqingensis sp. nov., Lactobacillus yichunensis sp. nov., Lactobacillus mulanensis sp. nov., Lactobacillus achengensis sp. nov., Lactobacillus wuchangensis sp. nov., Lactobacillus gannanensis sp. nov., Lactobacillus binensis sp. nov. and Lactobacillus angrenensis sp. nov., isolated from Chinese traditional pickle and yogurt

<jats:p>Fourteen Gram-stain-positive bacterial strains were isolated from Chinese traditional pickle and yogurt. The strains were characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach, including 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, <jats:italic>pheS</jats:italic> gene sequence analysis, <jats:italic>rpoA</jats:italic> gene sequence analysis, fatty acid methyl ester analysis, determination of DNA G+C content, determination of average nucleotide identity (ANI), <jats:italic>in silico</jats:italic> DNA–DNA hybridization (<jats:italic>is</jats:italic>DDH) and an analysis of phenotypic features. The data demonstrated that the 14 strains represented ten novel species belonging to the genus <jats:italic> <jats:named-content content-type="genus"> <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://doi.org/10.1601/nm.5320" xlink:type="simple">Lactobacillus</jats:ext-link> </jats:named-content> </jats:italic>, strains 73-4<jats:sup>T</jats:sup>, 247-3<jats:sup>T</jats:sup>, 143-4(a)<jats:sup>T</jats:sup>, 33-1<jats:sup>T</jats:sup>, 143-6<jats:sup>T</jats:sup>, 247-4<jats:sup>T</jats:sup>, 17-4<jats:sup>T</jats:sup>, 143-1<jats:sup>T</jats:sup>, 735-2<jats:sup>T</jats:sup> and M1530-1<jats:sup>T</jats:sup> were designated as the type strains.
