Belongs to the Fructophilic Lactic Acid Bacteria
Overview
Affiliations
Potential fructophilic characteristics of , originally isolated from the guts of honeybees (), 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). Furthermore, genetic analyses suggested that the species underwent extensive gene reduction, similar to that recorded for and other FLAB. These data clearly indicated that is the second fructophilic species within the genus
