Description

DESCRIPTION OF SCHLEIFERILACTOBACILLUS GEN. NOV.

Schleiferilactobacillus (Schlei.fer.i.lac.to.ba.cil’lus. L. masc. noun Schleiferi, of (Karl-Heinz) Schleifer, a German microbiologist and taxonomist who made seminal contributions to bacterial taxonomy. N.L.masc. n. Lactobacillus a bacterial genus; N.L. masc. n. Schleiferilactobacillus, a lactobacillus named after Karl-Heinz Schleifer).

Gram-positive, rod-shaped, catalase-negative, homofermentative and aerotolerant. Strains of the genus were isolated from spoiled beverages including beer and fermented dairy beverages, fermented vegetables, and fermented cereals. Growth is observed in the range of 15–42 °C; a wide range of carbohydrates including pentoses, hexoses and oligosaccharides are fermented. The genome size ranges from 3.14 to 3.32 Mbp; the mol% G+C content of DNA ranges from 49.1 to 56.3.

A phylogenetic tree on the basis of 16S rRNA genes of all species in the genus Schleiferilactobacillus is provided in Fig. S6E.

The type species of the genus is S. perolens comb. nov.; Schleiferilactobacillus was previously referred to as L. perolens group.
