Three strains of rod-shaped and motile lactic acid bacteria, NRIC 0736T, NRIC 0735 and NRIC 0737 were isolated from sap obtained from two different oak trees (Quercus sp.) on Awashima Island, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. The three strains showed nearly identical 16S rRNA gene sequences (>99.7 % sequence similarity). The novel strains showed low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to recognized species of lactic acid bacteria. High gene sequence similarities were found between strain NRIC 0736T and Lactobacillus satsumensis NRIC 0604T (96.3 %), Lactobacillus mali DSM 20444T (95.3 %) and Lactobacillus vini DSM 20605T (95.3 %). DNA–DNA relatedness values revealed the genotypic separation of the three novel isolates from these recognized species. It is concluded that the three new isolates represent a novel species, for which the name Lactobacillus sucicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NRIC 0736T (=JCM 15457T=DSM 21376T).

Abbreviations: LAB, lactic acid bacteria

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains NRIC 0735, NRIC 0736T and NRIC 0737 are AB458681, AB433982 and AB458682, respectively.

A micrograph of a cell of Lactobacillus sucicola NRIC 0736T grown on an MRS slant at 30 °C for 15 h showing peritrichous flagella is available with the online version of this paper.
