Lactobacillus helsingborgensis

Lactobacillus helsingborgensis (hel.sing.bor.gen’sis. N.L. masc. adj. helsingborgensis pertaining to Helsingborg, the site of Lund University, Campus Helsingborg, Sweden, where the type strain was characterized).

Lactobacillus helsingborgensis growth occurs at 15–50 °C and D(−)-lactic acid is produced as the end product from hexose fermentation. Acid is produced during fermentation of glucose, mannose, sorbose, sorbitol and sucrose, but not from maltose or lactose [ 89]. The genome size is 2.02 Mbp and the mol% G+C content of DNA is 36.4.

Isolated from the honey stomach of the honeybee A. mellifera mellifera , and from alfalfa silage.

The type strain is Bma5NT= DSM 26265 T = CCUG 63301 T .

Genome sequence accession number: JXJR00000000.

16S rRNA gene accession number: JX099553 .
