DESCRIPTION OF FURFURILACTOBACILLUS ROSSIAE COMB. NOV.

Furfurilactobacillus rossiae (ros’si.ae. N.L. gen. n. rossiae of Rossi, named in recognition of Jone Rossi, a microbiologist working at the University of Perugia).

Basonym: Lactobacillus rossiae Corsetti et al. 2005 , 39 VP. The species was initially named ‘ L. rossii ’

F. rossiae grows at 15 °C but not at 45 °C [ 242]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.87 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 43.3.

Isolated from wheat sourdough and from related cereal fermentations, beer, fruit, and fecal samples of children and swine. Owing to its capacity for metabolism of phenolic compounds and flavonoids, it was used experimentally as starter culture for cactus pear fermentation [ 243].

The type strain is CS1 T = ATCC BAA-822 T = DSM 15814 T = JCM 16176 T .

Genome sequence accession number: AZFF00000000.

16S rRNA gene accession number: AJ 564009 .
