Lentilactobacillus parakefiri PARAKEFIRI 2020, COMB. NOV.

Description

DESCRIPTIONOF LENTILACTOBACILLUS PARAKEFIRI COMB. NOV.

Lentilactobacillus parakefiri (pa.ra.ke'fir.i. Gr. pref. para beside; N.L. gen. n. kefiri aspecies epithet; N.L. masc. adj. parakefiri beside L. kefiri, referring to the close relationship with this organism).

Basonym: Lactobacillus parakefiri Takizawa et al. 1994, 438 VP. The classification of L. parakefiri as separate species was disputed as the first published genome sequence of the type strain was virtually identical to L. kefiri [14, 16] but re-sequencing of the type strain supported classification of L. parakefiri as separate species [336]

Growth is observed at 15 but not at 45 °C [101]. The genome size of the type strain is 4.91 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNAis 42.6.

Isolated from kefir grains.

Thetypestrainis GCL 1731 T =ATCC 51648 T =CCUG 39468 T = CIP 104242 T =DSM 10551 T = LMG 15133 T.

Genome sequence accession number: AZEN00000000.

16S rRNA gene accession number: AY026750.
