They belong to the subgenus Thermobacterium and contain meso diamino-pimelic acid in the wall peptidoglycan. The species differ from each other in being motile and non-motile, in the type of lactic acid produced and in % base composition of their DNA. They have been named Lactobacillus ruminis and L. vitulinus. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-77-1-37
