Lactobacillus panisapium

Lactobacillus panisapium (pa.nis.a’pi.um. L. masc. n. panis bread; L. fem. n apis bee; N.L. gen. n. panisapium of bee bread).

Lactobacillus panisapium is facultatively anaerobic but optimal growth is observed under anaerobic conditions. Growth occurs from 15 up to 55 °C (optimum, 37 °C) and it produces acid from cellobiose, fructose, galactose, glucose, melibiose, ribose, sucrose, mannose and raffinose [104]. The genome size is 1.83 Mbp and the mol% G+C content of DNA is 37.4.

Isolated from bee bread of Apis cerana .
