NOV. Loigolactobacillus bifermentans (bi.fer.men ′ tans. L. pref. bi twice; L. pres. part. fermentans leavening; N.L. part. adj. bifermentans doubly fermenting). Basonym: Lactobacillus bifermentans (ex Pette and van Beynum 1943) Kandler etal . 1983, 896 VP L. bifermentans strains are non-motile irregular rods with rounded or often tapered ends; clumps are often observed. Lactic acid is fermented to acetic acid, ethanol, traces of propionic acid, carbondioxideandfree H 2 [ 190 ]. Thegenome size of thetypestrainis 3.14 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNAis 44.3. Isolated from spoiled Edam and Gouda cheeses where it forms undesired small cracks [ 191 ], from fermented masau fruits and from Himalayan fermented milk products.
