L. gen. n. lactis , of milk). L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis includes strains previously designated as L. lactis and L. leichmannii ; L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis ferments glucose to D(−)-lactic acid and also metabolises sucrose, fructose and mannose, maltose and trehalose [ 60 ]. The genome size is 1.87 Mbp and the mol% G+C content of DNA is 49.9. Isolated from milk, cheese, compressed yeasts and grain mash. The type strain is L 110 T = ATCC 12315 T = CCUG 31454 T = CIP 101028 T = DSM 20072 T = JCM 1248 T = LMG 7942 T = NBRC 102622 T = NRRL B-4525 T .
