L. masc. n. equus a horse; L. gen. n. cursoris of a runner or racer; N.L. gen. n. equicursoris of a racing horse, referring to the isolation of the type strain from faeces of a thoroughbred racehorse). L. equicursoris produces D(−)-lactic acid from glucose. It utilises glucose, fructose, galactose, mannose, cellobiose, lactose and mannitol for growth and acid production [ 82 ]. Thegenome size is 2.05 Mbp and the mol% G+C content of DNAis 47.7. Isolated from a thoroughbred racehorse. Thetypestrainis DI70 T =DSM 19284 T =JCM 14600 T .
