Description
Paucilactobacillus (Pau.ci.lac.to.ba.cil’lus. L. masc. adj. paucus few; N.L. masc. n. Lactobacillus a bacterial genus name; N.L. masc. n. Paucilactobacillus a lactobacillus that ferments few carbohydrates).
Gram positive, rod-shaped, catalase negative, heterofermentative, and aerotolerant. Growth is observed at between 20 and 37 °C. Several species are psychrotrophic but Paucilactobacillus suebicus grows at 45 °C. Strains in this genus were predominantly isolated from fermented plant material including silage, pickles, and fruit mashes. The adaptation to hexose depleted habitats is indicated by the lack of mannitol dehydrogenase in many strains of the genus; among heterofermentative lactobacilli, this property is shared only with Secundilactobacillus that is isolated from related habitats. Paucilactobacillus species preferentially metabolise pentoses and many strains do not ferment disaccharides. The mol% G+C content of DNA ranges from 35.6 to 43.5; and the genome size ranges from 1.75 to 2.57 Mbp.
A phylogenetic tree on the basis of 16S rRNA genes of all species in the genus Paucilactobacillus is provided in Figure S 6M.
The type species of the genus is Paucilactobacillus vaccinostercus comb. nov.; Paucilactobacillus was previously referred to as L. vaccinostercus group.
