Homotypic synonym: Lentilactobacillus parabuchneri (Farrow et al. 1989) Zheng et al. 2020.
Heterotypic synonym: according to Vancanneyt et al. 2005, Lactobacillus ferintoshensis Simpson et al. 2002, is a later heterotypic
synonym of Lactobacillus parabuchneri Farrow et al. 1989.
Gram-positive rods (0.8-1.0 x 2-4 µm), occuring single, in pairs, or in short chains.
Nonmotile. Non-spore-forming.
After 48 hours incubation on modified MRS agar (MRS agar supplemented with
vitamins), colonies are 2-5 mm in diameter, circular, shiny, and creamy white.
Optimum growth temperature 28 ºC. Can grow at 15-42 ºC, but not at 45 ºC. Grows at
pH 4.5-9.0 (optimally at pH 7.0) and in 0-6% NaCl. Anaerobic growth.
Isolated from human saliva, cheese, and contaminated brewery yeasts.
Undetermined.

Obligately heterofermentative (hexoses are fermented to lactic acid, acetic acid (ethanol), and CO2 via the phosphogluconate
pathway; pentoses are fermented to lactic acid and acetic acid by the related pentose phosphate pathaway).
Positive results for acid phosphatase, arginine hydrolysis (NH3 from arginine), alkaline phosphatase, catalase, esterase lipase (C8),
beta-glucosidase, gelatin hydrolysis, leucine aminopeptidase, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, fermentation of L-arabinose,
fructose, galactose, D-glucose, gluconate, 5-ketogluconate, maltose, mannose, melezitose, melibiose, raffinose, ribose, and
sucrose.
Negative results for alpha-fucosidase, urease, Voges-Proskauer test, fermentation of adonitol, amygdalin, D-arabitol, L-arabitol,
arbutin, cellobiose, dulcitol, erythritol, esculin, D-fucose, L-fucose, glycerol, glycogen, gentibiose, inositol, inulin, 2-ketogluconate,
lactose, D-lyxose, rhamnose, salicin, sorbitol, sorbose, starch, trehalose, and xylitol.
Variable results for cystine aminopeptidase, esterase (C4), valine aminopeptidase, trypsin (weak), fermentation of esculin (weak),
lactose (weak), mannose (weak), mannitol (weak), methyl alpha-D-glucoside, methyl beta-D-xylopyranosideturanose,
N-acetylglucosamine and D-xylose.
