Description of Paralactobacillus selangorensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a new lactic acid bacterium isolated from chili bo, a Malaysian food ingredient.

Polyphasic study of wine Lactobacillus strains: taxonomic implications

“…They are genetically quite diverse; their G+C content ranges from 32 to 54 mol%. This shows that Lactobacillus is not a well-defined genus (Vandamme et al, 1996), as has been demonstrated by the transfer of some Lactobacillus species to newly created genera: Carnobacterium , Atopobium (Collins & Wallbanks, 1992), Weissella (Collins et al, 1993) and Paralactobacillus (Leisner et al, 2000). These reorganizations are mainly supported by DNA-DNA reassociation studies and 16S rRNA gene sequence data (Collins et al, 1991;Schleifer & Ludwig, 1995).…”

Reclassification of the genus Leuconostoc and proposals of Fructobacillus fructosus gen. nov., comb. nov., Fructobacillus durionis comb. nov., Fructobacillus ficulneus comb. nov. and Fructobacillus pseudoficulneus comb. nov.

“…These are noteworthy differential characteristics for the reclassification of the genus Leuconostoc as compared with the genera of lactic acid bacteria described recently. The genera Pilibacter and Paralactobacillus were established recently as novel genera of lactic acid bacteria by the differentiation of biochemical and morphological characteristics or their phylogenetic position as compared with the genera Enterococcus and Lactobacillus (Higashiguchi et al, 2006;Leisner et al, 2000). Therefore it is proposed that the species Leuconostoc durionis, Leuconostoc ficulneum, Leuconostoc fructosum and Leuconostoc pseudoficulneum should be transferred to a novel genus, Fructobacillus gen. nov., as Fructobacillus durionis comb.…”

“…Recently, the genera Pilibacter and Paralactobacillus were described as novel genera of lactic acid bacteria (Higashiguchi et al, 2006;Leisner et al, 2000). The sequence similarity between the genus Pilibacter and the closest phylogenetic relative, the genus Enterococcus, was less than 92.8 % (Higashiguchi et al, 2006) and that between the genus Paralactobacillus and the closest phylogenetic relatives, species in the Lactobacillus casei group , was less than 91.7 % (Leisner et al, 2000). These values are close to the sequence similarities found among the three subclusters of the genus Leuconostoc mentioned above.…”

Lactobacillus shenzhenensis sp. nov., isolated from a fermented dairy beverage

“…T (Back et al, 1999) and L. selangorensis DSM 13344 T (Leisner et al, 2000;Haakensen et al, 2011), their phylogenetically most closely related species (Table 1). The strains isolated from beverage are considered to represent a novel species of the genus Lactobacillus based on the obtained genotypic and phenotypic data, for which the name Lactobacillus shenzhenensis sp.…”
