Weissella kimchii is a gram-positive, catalase-negative, non-sporulating, facultatively anaerobic, short rod-shaped bacterium first isolated from partly fermented kimchi in 2002.[1] A strain of Weissella kimchii PL9023 was identified by researchers as a potential probiotic for vaginal health in women.[2]

W. kimchii was also identified as one of the lactic acid bacteria responsible for gowé fermentation (a fermented bevereage produced from sorghum) in Bénin.[3] A strain of Weissella kimchii PL9023 was identified by researchers as a potential probiotic for vaginal health in women.[4]
