Abstract
About 100 strains of heterofermentative rod-shaped lactic acid bacteria have been isolated from kefir grains and drink kefir, respectively. These isolates differ from Lactobacillus brevis and the other species of heterofermentative lactobacilli so far validly published with respect to biochemical characteristics and DNA/DNA homology. They are thus considered as representatives of the new species Lactobacillus kefir sp. nov., with strain DSM 20587 (= A/K) being the type strain.
