Lactobacillus paragasseri

Lactobacillus paragasseri (pa.ra.gas’se.ri. Gr. prep. para, resembling; N.L. gen. n. gasseri , aspecies epithet; N.L. gen. n. paragasseri , resembling Lactobacillus gasseri ).

Lactobacillus paragasseri produces both D(−)- and L(+)-lactic acid as end products of glucose fermentation (75:25 ratio). Also ferments maltose, lactose, sucroseand trehalose, but not ribose and raffinose [ 105]. The genome size is 1.94 Mbp and the mol% G+C content of DNA is 34.9.
