DESCRIPTION OF SECUNDILACTOBACILLUS MALEFERMENTANS COMB. NOV.

Secundilactobacillus malefermentans (ma.le.fer.men’tans. L. adv. male, bad; L. part. pres. fermentans fermenting; N.L. part. adj. malefermentans badly fermenting, referring to spoiled beer).

Basonym: Lactobacillus malefermentans (ex Russell and Walker 1953) Farrow et al. 1989, 371 VL. The species was initially described in 1953 [ 277]; the species name was later revived with a new type strain [ 278]

Strains of this species have a restricted carbohydrate fermentation pattern. Growth is observed between 10 and 37°C and between pH 4.1 and 8.0. The genome size of the type strain is 2.05 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 41.0.

Isolated from beer.

The type strain is D2 MF1 T = ATCC 49373 T = DSM 5705 T = JCM 12497 T = LMG 11455 T .

Genome sequence accession number: AZGJ00000000.

16S rRNA gene accession number: AM 113783 .
