Salt-resistant aerobic and anaerobic bacteria exist in most jeotgals [1][2][4] and recent studies have reported the isolation of many novel species and genera from this food.
Panjin is located in the southwestern part of Liaoning Province, the center of the Liaohe River Delta in China [1][7][8] There are six major genera of bacteria (Jeotgalibaca, Jeotgalicoccus, Lysinibacillus, Sporosarcina, Staphylococcus, and Psychrobacter) that were found to be positively correlated with Biogenic amines (BA) production level, suggesting that these bacteria might have a strong tendency to produce BAs.
The novel isolate formed an independent branch supported by a 100 % bootstrap value and confirmed the moderate relationship with all members of the genus Trichococcus .
The combined results of the 16S rRNA gene and groEL sequence analyses support the classification of strain EX-07T within a new genus” [1][2][10] Jeotgalibaca was tested under various environmental conditions, and it grows well on TSA plates.
They have been “... reported to be involved in the metabolism of bile salts and steroids as well as the activation of dietary polyphenols in the human gut”.
