NOV. Fructilactobacillus fructivorans (fruc.ti.vo’rans. L. masc. n. fructus , fruit; L. part. pres. vorans , eating, devouring; N.L. part. adj. fructivorans , fruit-eating, intended to mean fructose-devouring). Basonym: Lactobacillus fructivorans Charlton et al. 1934 , 1 (Approved Lists) The type species of Fructilactobacillus was described as Lactobacillus fructivorans in 1934 [ 304 ] and includes strains that were previously described as Lactobacillus heterohiochii , Lactobacillus trichodes [ 305 ], and L. homohiochii [ 306 ]. Lactobacillus homohiochii was isolated from Saké mashes and described as homofermentative Lactobacillus species [ 307 ]. The heterofermentative L. heterohiochii (later classified as F. fructivorans comb. nov. ) was isolated from the same mash. The type strain of L. homohiochii , which likely represents an organism related to Lactobacillus acetotolerans , has been lost [ 308 ]. F. fructivorans tolerates ethanol concentrations of up to 15 %. The genome size of the type strain is 1.37 Mbp. The mol% G+C content of DNA is 38.9. F. fructivorans is stable member of the intestinal microbiota of fruit flies [ 309 ] as well as spoiled sake mashes [ 58 ]; it was also isolated from spoiled mayonnaise, salad dressings, sourdough, dessert wines and aperitifs. The type strain is IFO (now NBRC ) 13954 T = ATCC 8288 T = CCUG 32260 T = CIP 103042 T = DSM 20203 T = JCM 1117 T = LMG 9201 T = NRRL B-1841 T .
