Leisner, J J and Vancanneyt, M and Goris, J and Christensen, H and Rusul, G,, 50, 19-24 (2000), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-50-1-19, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Paralactobacillus selangorensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is described. This organism, isolated from a Malaysian food ingredient called chili bo, is an obligatory homofermentative, rod-shaped lactic acid bacterium. The G+C content is 46.1-46.2+/-0.3 mol%. Earlier 16S rRNA studies showed that this organism constitutes a new taxon distantly related to the Lactobacillus casei-Pediococcus group. A phenotypic description that distinguishes Paralactobacillus selangorensis from other genera of lactic acid bacteria is presented. The type strain of Paralactobacillus selangorensis is LMG 17710T., language=, type=
