Lactobacillus kalixensis

Lactobacillus kalixensis (ka.lix.en‘sis. N.L. masc. adj. kalixensis pertaining to Kalix, a town in northern Sweden, where the gastric biopsies were sampled).

Lactobacillus kalixensis produces both D(−)- and L(+)-lactate from galactose, glucose, fructose, mannose, cellobiose, maltose, lactose, sucrose, trehalose and raffinose. Acid is not produced arabinose, ribose, xylose, rhamnose and mannitol [ 98]. The genome sizeis 2.08 Mbp and the mol% G+C content of DNAis 36.1.

Isolated from a biopsy of the healthy human gastric mucosa.

The type strain is Kx127A2 T =CCUG 48459 T =DSM 16043 T =JCM 15954 T =LMG 22115 T.
