Abstract

A Gram-positive, ovoid lactic acid bacterium, strain LMG 23990, was isolated from Ethiopian coffee fermentation. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the novel strain belongs to the genus , with and as the closest neighbours (99.6 and 99.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). Genotypic fingerprinting by fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism, whole-cell protein electrophoresis, DNA–DNA hybridizations, comparative sequence analysis of , , , and physiological and biochemical tests allowed us to differentiate strain LMG 23990 from all established species. Strain LMG 23990 (=CCUG 54536) therefore represents a novel species, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed.
