Basonym: Lactobacillus brevis ( Betabacterium breve Orla- Jensen 1919, 175) Bergey etal . 1934, 312 (Approved Lists) The species was described in [ 2 , 289 ]. Strains of L. brevis widely occur in vegetable and cereal fermentations and as beer-spoilage organisms and were also isolated from insects. Niche adaptation is mediated by acquisition of plasmids [ 290 ]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.47 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNAis 46.0. Isolated from milk, cheese, sauerkraut and rrelated vegetable fermentations, sourdough, silage, cow manure, faeces, andthe mouth and intestinal tract of humans and rats.
