DESCRIPTIONOF LENTILACTOBACILLUS BUCHNERI COMB. NOV.

Lentilactobacillus buchneri (buch’ne.ri. N.L. gen. n. buchneri of Buchner, referring to the German microbiologist Buchner).

Basonym: Lactobacillus buchneri ( Bacillus buchneri [sic] Henneberg 1903, 163) Bergey etal. 1923, 251 (Approved Lists)

Biochemical characteristics of L. buchneri were described as being similar to L. brevis [11, 231] but L. buchneri differs with regards to the production of 1,2 propanediol from lactate. The genome size of the type strain is 2.45 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 44.4.

Isolated from pressed yeast, milk, cheese, fermenting plant material and the human mouth. L. buchneri is used commercially as silage inoculant.
