Abstract
Three Lactobacillus-like strains, NB53(T), NB446(T) and NB702, were isolated from traditional fermented food in Thailand. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that these strains belong to the Lactobacillus plantarum group. Phylogenetic analysis based on the dnaK, rpoA, pheS and recA gene sequences indicated that these three strains were distantly related to known species present in the L. plantarum group. DNA-DNA hybridization with closely related strains demonstrated that these strains represented two novel species; the novel strains could be differentiated based on chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characteristics. Therefore, two novel species of the genus Lactobacillus, Lactobacillus plajomi sp. nov. (NB53T) and Lactobacillus modestisalitolerans sp. nov. (NB446(T) and NB702), are proposed with the type strains NB53(T) (=NBRC 107333(T)=BCC 38054(T)) and NB446(T) (=NBRC 107235(T) = BCC 38191(T)), respectively.
