Abstract
Paralactobacillus selangorensis gen. nov., sp, nov. is described. This orga nism, isolated from a Malaysian food ingredient called chili bo, is an obli gatory 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-Pedio coccus 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 17710(T).
