N.L. gen. n. hamster of the hamster from which the isolate was derived). Lactobacillus hamsteri produces DL-lactic acid from glucose, cellobiose, sucrose, mannitol, raffinose and ribose. No acid is produced from melizitose [ 88 ]. The genome size is 1.84 Mbp and the mol% G+C content of DNA is 35.1. Isolated from the intestine of a hamster. The type strain is Ha5F1 T = ATCC 43851 T = CCUG 30726 T = CIP 103365 T = DSM 5661 T = JCM 6256 T = LMG 10754 T .
