A Gram-positive, endospore-forming lactic acid bacterium was isolated from spoiled orange juice. The organism, strain QC81-06T, grew microanaerobically or anaerobically at 30-45°C (optimum 35°C) and pH 3.5-5.5 (optimum pH 4.5), and produced acid from various sugars. D-lactic acid was produced. It contained menaquinone-7 as the major isoprenoid quinone. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 47.5 mol%. The predominant cellular fatty acids of the strain were iso-C16:0, anteiso-C15:0 and anteiso-C17:0. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene (16S rDNA) and gyrB gene (DNA gyrase B subunit gene) revealed that strain QC81-06T clustered with Sporolactobacillus species but the strain was clearly distinct from other Sporolactobacillus species with significant bootstrap values. The level of the 16S rDNA sequence similarities between strain QC81-06T and the other strains of the cluster was 96.1-97.1% and the level of gyrB gene sequence similarities between strain QC81-06T and the other strains was 75.1-77.2%. On the basis of these results, strain QC81-06T should be classified as a novel Sporolactobacillus species. The name Sporolactobacillus putidus is proposed for this organism. The type strain of Sporolactobacillus putidus is strain QC81-06T (=DSM 21265T=JCM 15325T).
