Synonym: Paralactobacillus selangorensis Leisner et al. 2000.
Gram-positive slender rods, 1.0 / 2.5-6.5 µm, occurring singly, in pairs or in short
chains. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are smooth, 2-3 mm in diameter after 3 days of aerobic incubation at 30 ºC
on MRS agar. Grows at 15-30 ºC, variable growth at 37 ºC. No growth at 45 ºC and in
6.5% NaCl medium. Grows at pH 4.15.
Isolated from a Malaysian food ingredient, chilli bo.
Undetermined.
