Lactobacillus ingluviei sp. nov., isolated from the intestinal tract of pigeons Baele, Margo and Vancanneyt, Marc and Devriese, Luc A. and Lefebvre, Karen and Swings, Jean and Haesebrouck, Freddy,, 53, 133-136 (2003), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.02206-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Lactic acid bacteria were isolated from the crop and intestines of pigeons. One group of strains, showing similar genomic patterns after screening with tRNA intergenic spacer PCR, could not be identified to the species level. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene of one representative strain revealed about 96 % similarity to sequences from Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus mucosae. Determination of the DNA base composition, DNA–DNA hybridization experiments, SDS-PAGE of whole-cell proteins and biochemical testing confirmed that the seven strains studied constitute a single novel Lactobacillus species, for which the name Lactobacillus ingluviei sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain KR3T (=LMG 20380T =CCUG 45722T)., language=, type=
