discussion
Levilactobacillus brevis (bre ′ vis. L. adj. brevis short). Basonym: Lactobacillus brevis (Betabacterium breve Orla- Jensen 1919, 175) Bergey etal. 1934, 312 (Approved Lists) The species was described in [2, 289]. Strains of L. brevis widely occur in vegetable and cereal fermentations and as beer-spoilage organisms and were also isolated from insects. Niche adaptation is mediated by acquisition of plasmids [290]. The genome size of the type strain is 2.47 Mbp. The mol % G + C content of DNAis 46.0.
