Limosilactobacillus pontis is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive facultatively anaerobic bacterium.[1] Along with other Lactobacillus species, it is capable of converting sugars, such as lactose, into lactic acid.[1] Limosilactobacillus pontis is classified under the phylum Bacillota, class Bacilli, and is a member of the family Lactobacillaceae and is found to be responsible for the fermentation of sourdough, along with many other Lactobacillus species.[1] This microorganism produces lactic acid during the process of fermentation, which gives sourdough bread its characteristic sour taste.
