| pediococcus cellicola sp. nov., a novel lactic acid coccus isolated from a distilled-spirit-fermenting cellar. | two novel pediococcus strains, z-1 and z-8(t), were isolated from a distilled-spirit-fermenting cellar in hebei province, china. the cells were gram-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile cocci, occurring in pairs or tetrads. the strains were facultatively anaerobic and produced 50 % (-)-d-/50% (+)-l-lactic acid exclusively from glucose fermentation, but did not produce catalase. both strains fermented rhamnose, ribose, xylose, lactose, maltose, trehalose and sucrose, and tolerated 10% ethanol. ... | 2005 | 16166726 |
| lactobacillus concavus sp. nov., isolated from the walls of a distilled spirit fermenting cellar in china. | two novel lactobacillus strains, c-5-1(t) and hb5, were isolated from the walls of a distilled spirit fermenting cellar in hebei province, china. the strains were gram-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile curved rods and were facultatively anaerobic. they produced 5% (-)-d/95% (+)-l lactic acid exclusively from glucose fermentation, but were catalase-negative. both strains fermented n-acetylglucosamine, arbutin, salicin, cellobiose, maltose, trehalose and beta-gentiobiose. the mean dna g+c co ... | 2005 | 16166732 |
| pediococcus ethanolidurans sp. nov., isolated from the walls of a distilled-spirit-fermenting cellar. | two novel pediococcus strains, z-9(t) and z-17, were isolated from a distilled-spirit-fermenting cellar in hebei province, china. the cells were gram-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile cocci and occurred in pairs or tetrads. the strains were facultatively anaerobic and produced only lactic acid [d(-) and l(+) isomers in the ratio 50 : 50] from glucose fermentation. catalase activity was not present. both strains were able to grow in 6.5 % ethanol and at ph 3.5, but not in 4 % nacl. the mean ... | 2006 | 17012570 |
