Lactobacillus mulieris

Lactobacillus mulieris (mu.li’.e.ris. L. gen. n. mulieris of a woman, from where the bacterium was isolated).

Lactobacillus mulieris grows in the pH range of 5.0–8.5 and from 30 to 45 °C; optimum growth is observed at 37 °C [ 103]. Lactic acid is produced from glucose, fructose, mannose, N -acetylglucosamine, several disaccharides and starch but not from pentoses [ 103]. The genome size is 1.66 Mbp and the mol% G+C content of DNA is 34.2.

Isolated from the urine of a woman; several strains previously classified as L. jensenii should beclassified as L. mulieris [ 103].
