Abstract

Lactobacillus animalis comprises homofermentative strains from animals which are recognized by their polypeptide patterns. Physiologically these strains resemble Lactobacillus murinus and Lactobacillus ruminis, but are distinguished from the former by guanine-plus-cytosine content and from the latter by peptidoglycan type. Deoxyribonucleic acid-deoxyribonucleic acid homology confirmed that L. animalis is a homogeneous taxon distinct from L. acidophilus.
