Abstract
Summary Of 335 lactic acid bacteria, isolated from high-moisture corn grain, 212 were checked for their physiological characteristics and 59 representative strains were chosen for DNA-DNA hybridization. All the homofermentative lactobacilli tested were highly related to the type strain of Lactobacillus plantarum . The pediococci isolated were allotted to Pediococcus pentosaceus . Of the heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria the cocci were classified as Leuconostoc paramesenteroides , the lactobacilli as Lactobacillus brevis . The presence of plasmids was demonstrated in all the species studied.
