Lactobacillus rodentium

Lactobacillus rodentium (ro.den‘ti.um. L. gen. pl. n. rodentium of gnawers, referring to the fact that the micro-organism was isolated from wild rodents).

Lactobacillus rodentium utilizes glucose, fructose, maltose, melibiose and sucrose, but not ribose, mannitol or trehalose [ 108]. The genome size is 1.52 Mbp and the mol% G+C content of DNA is 34.0.

Isolated from the colon of wild mice (Mus musculus) and other rodent species [ 55, 108].

The type strain is MYMRS / TLU1 T = DSM 24759 T = CCM 7945 T .

Genome sequence accession number: BFBY00000000.

16S rRNA gene accession number: HQ851022 .
