Abstract
Heterofermentative lactobacilli have been isolated from kefir grains obtained from four different sources. A number of these isolates ferment only L-arabinose and gluconate and are similar to the species 'Lactobacillus desidiosus'. The DNA of these isolates, however, have 85-109% homology with 'L. caucasicus' NCDO 190 which is now regarded as L. kefir. The relationship between these strains is discussed.Entities:
