Supplementary Table. Percentage similarities of L. versmoldensis sp. nov. KU-3T to selected Lactobacillus species based on substrate utilization
Twenty catabolic characters were tested, including acid production from aesculin, arabinose, cellobiose, galactose, gluconate, lactose, maltose, amygdalin, mannitol, melezitose, melibiose, raffinose, rhamnose, ribose, sucrose, salicin, sorbitol, trehalose and xylose and ammonia production from arginine. Similarities between strains are expressed as percentages (common reactions between two strains x 100/20).
