L. masc. adj. iners , inactive, lazy). Lactobacillus iners grows on blood agar but not on MRS or Rogosa agar, reflecting a strict adaptation to the human vagina. L(+)-Lactic acid is producedfrom glucose, some strains produce acid from maltose but acid is not produced from lactose, mannitol, raffinose, ribose andsucrose [ 94 ]. The genome size is 1.27 Mbp and the mol% G+C content of DNA is 32.5. One of the predominant species found in the human female lower genital tract; also occurs on human skin [ 95 ] Thetypestrainis CCUG 28746 T =CIP 105923 T =DSM 13335 T =JCM 12513 T =LMG 18914 T .
