Ligilactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria associated with vertebrate hosts, formed through the 2020 division of the Lactobacillus genus.^[1]^[2] Most of these homofermentative species are motile and express urease to survive gastric acids, making them popular choices for probiotics. The G/C content of this genus varies between 32.5-43.3%.^[1]
