Lactobacillus uli sp. nov. and Lactobacillus rimae sp. nov. from the Human Gingival Crevice and Emended Descriptions of Lactobacillus minutus and Streptococcus parvulus (original) (raw)
Abstract
Lactobacillus uli sp. nov. and Lactobacillus rimae sp. nov. are described. These organisms are short, gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that have DNA G+C contents of 53 and 45 mol%, respectively, produce major amounts of lactic acid, and have been isolated from human gingival crevices and periodontal pockets. The major cellular fatty acid derivatives for both species are C18:1 cis-9 fatty acid methyl ester and C18:1 cis-9 dimethylacetyl. The type strain of L. uli is strain VPI D76D-27C (= ATCC 49627), and the type strain of L. rimae is strain D140H-11A (= ATCC 49626). Emended descriptions of Lactobacillus minutus (based on selected strains) and Streptococcus parvulus (based on many additional strains) also are given.
