The cells were Gram-positive, catalase-negative, non-spore-forming, nonmotile rods. They produced only (+) lactate and were homofermentative. Growth occurred at pH values of 5.0-7.0 and optimum growth occurred at pH 6.0. Growth was positive at 15 and 45oC. The DNA G+C content was 48.4 mais ou menos 0.2 mol%. Sequence analysis of the 165 rRNA gene revealed that strains OND 32 and YAM 1 clustered with, but were separate from Lactobacillus caseirelaated taxa, Protein pattern and sequence analyses of the 165 rRNA gene confirmed that the two new isolates represent a new Lactobacillus species, for which the name Lactobacillus manihotivorans is proposed; strain OND 32 is the type strain ofthis species  acassava  alactic acid bacteria  aAmylase  aLactobacillus manihotivorans sp  anov  aSour starch1 aGUYOT, J.
