Homotypic synonym: Paucilactobacillus suebicus (Kleynmans et al. 1989) Zheng et al. 2020.
Rods with rounded ends, 0.6-0.8 x 2.0-3.0 µm, occuring singly or in pairs and seldom
in short chains. Nonmotile.
Colonies are white, circular, smooth, convex, slimy and 2 mm in diameter on
Homohiochi agar after incubation for 4 days at 30 ºC in an atmosphere 95% N2 and
5% CO2. Can grow at 15 ºC. Variable growth at 45 ºC. Can grow in pH 2.8.
Habitats are stored apple and pear mashes.
Undetermined.

Obligately heterofermentative (hexoses are fermented to lactic acid, acetic acid
(ethanol), and CO2 via the phosphogluconate pathway; pentoses are fermented to
lactic acid and acetic acid by the related pentose phosphate pathaway).
Positive results for esterase C4, alpha-galactosidase, beta-glucosidase fermentation of: L-arabinose, arabitol, arbutin, galactose,
gluconate, 2-ketogluconate, maltose, ribose, salicin, turanose, methyl-beta-D-xylopyranoside, and D-xylose.
Negative results for fermentation of: D-arabinose, esculin, fructose, N-acetylglucosamine, D-lyxose, methyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside,
mannose, melezitose, raffinose, trehalose, and L-xylose. No reaction in litmus milk. No slime production from sucrose.
Variable results for cellobiose, melibiose and sucrose fermentation.
