discussion
Lactobacillusamylovorus (a. my. lo. vo’rus. Gr. neut. n. amylon starch, L. v. vorare to devour, N. L. masc. adj. amylovorus starch-devouring). The species includes strains that were previously designated as Lactobacillus sobrius [74]. Lactobacillusamylovorus produces both D (−) - and L (+) - lactic acidand acidis producedfrom cellobiose, fructose, galactose, glucose, maltose, mannose, sucrose, starch and trehalose. Arabinose, melezitose, melibiose, raffinose, rhamnose and ribose are not fermented. The ability to ferment starch and thepresence of an extracellularamylolytic enzyme are distinguishing characteristics [75]. Growth maximum is 45 to 48 ° C. The genome size of the type strain is 2.02 Mbp and the mol % G + C content of DNAis 37.8.
