ABSTRACT

Twelve strains of homofermentative lactobacilli and two strains of heterofermentative lactobacilli were isolated from kefir grains by using R-CW agar medium. The physiological and biochemical characteristics, DNA guanine-plus-cytosine contents, and levels of DNA-DNA relatedness of these isolates and previously described lactobacilli were compared. Our results indicated that two new species, Lactobacillus kefirgranum and Lactobacillus parakefir, could be distinguished. The type strain of L. kefirgranum sp. nov. is GCL 1701 (= JCM 8572), and the type strain of L. parakefir sp. nov. is GCL 1731 (= JCM 8573).
