lactobacillus apinorum sp. nov., lactobacillus mellifer sp. nov., lactobacillus mellis sp. nov., lactobacillus melliventris sp. nov., lactobacillus kimbladii sp. nov., lactobacillus helsingborgensis sp. nov. and lactobacillus kullabergensis sp. nov., isolated from the honey stomach of the honeybee apis mellifera.	we previously discovered a symbiotic lactic acid bacterial (lab) microbiota in the honey stomach of the honeybee apis mellifera. the microbiota was composed of several phylotypes of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus. 16s rrna gene sequence analyses and phenotypic and genetic characteristics revealed that the phylotypes isolated represent seven novel species. one grouped with lactobacillus kunkeei and the others belong to the lactobacillus buchneri and lactobacillus delbrueckii subgroups of lacto ...	2014	24944337
lactobacillus apinorum belongs to the fructophilic lactic acid bacteria.	potential fructophilic characteristics of lactobacillus apinorum, originally isolated from the guts of honeybees (apis mellifera), were studied in the present study. the species showed typical fructophilic growth characteristics, i.e., active growth on d-fructose, poor growth on d-glucose, and accelerated growth on d-glucose in the presence of electron acceptors. biochemical characteristics strongly supported classification of the species into fructophilic lactic acid bacteria (flab). furthermor ...	2017	29038770
lactobacillus kosoi sp. nov., a fructophilic species isolated from kôso, a japanese sugar-vegetable fermented beverage.	a novel gram-positive, fructophilic, catalase negative, and rod-shaped strain, designated strain 10ht was isolated from kôso, a japanese sugar-vegetable fermented beverage obtained from a food processing factory in saku city, nagano prefecture, japan. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences revealed strain 10ht to belong to the genus lactobacillus, with closely related type strains being lactobacillus kunkeei yh-15t (95.5% sequence similarity), lactobacillus ozensis mizu2-1t (95.4 ...	2018	29353462
