Abstract
Lactobacillus kandleri sp. nov., a new heterofermentative species of the subgenus Beta-bacterium, is described. It is known from a single strain isolated from a spring in the Namib Desert, South West Africa. Morphologically, it shows some resemblance with Lactobacillus confusus, but it differs in its ability to ferment a relatively small range of sugars, including mannitol and in that it has a lower (39.1%) GC content. It contains peptidoglycan of the Lys-Ala-Gly-Ala-Ala type, reported for the first time for a Lactobacillus species.
