Homotypic synonym: Lactiplantibacillus paraplantarum (Curk et al. 1996) Zheng et al. 2020.
The differentiation between the related species Lactobacillus paraplantarum, Lactobacillus pentosus, Lactobacillus plantarum subsp.
plantarum and Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. argentoratensis is problematic when using physiological and biochemical characters.
The use of genotypic methods provides clear identification results (Bringel et al., 2005).
Rods occurring singly, in pairs or in short chains. Nonmotile.
Colonies grown on MRS agar are round, smooth, dome shaped, and creamy. Grow at
15 and 37 ºC. No growth at 45 ºC. Can grow in NaCl 0-8%. Can grow at pH 5-7, but
not at pH 4.
Isolated from beer and human feces in France.
Undetermined.
