DESCRIPTIONOF LIGILACTOBACILLUS MURINUS COMB. NOV.

Ligilactobacillusmurinus (mu.ri’nus. L. adj. murinus of mice).

Basonym: Lactobacillus murinus Hemme et al., 1982 , 384 VP.

L. murinus strains are non-motile rods which slowly ferment ribose and arabinose. L-LDH is activated by FDP and Mn 2+. They do not hydrolyse urea and hippurate; they decarboxylate malate. Riboflavin is a required growth factor [ 222]. The

genome size of the type strain is 2.20 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 40.1.

Isolated from the intestinal tract of mice and rats and from sourdough.
