Basonym: Lactobacillus paraplantarum Curk et al. 1996 , 598 VP

The cells are non-motile rods, usually singly, in pairs and sometimes in short chains. They grow at pH 5 and 7 and they tolerate NaCl up to a concentration of 8 % [ 237]. The genome size of the type strain is 3.40 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 43.7.

Isolated as spoilage organisms from beer and from human faeces. They are also found in grape marmalade, dairy products, jangajji (a Korean fermented food), fermented vegetables, fermented fruits, fermented dates, rice bran pickles, silage, cocoa beans, fermented sourdough, fermented slurry, faecal microbiota of healthy dogs, traditional fura processing, wine and sow milk.

The type strain is CST 10961 T = ATCC 700211 T = CCUG 35983 T = CIP 104668 T = CNRZ 1885 T = CST 10961 T = DSM 10667 T = JCM 12533 T = LMG 16673 T = NRRL B-23115 T.
