Lactobacillus equicursoris (e. qui. cur’so. ris. L. masc. n. equus a horse; L. gen. n. cursoris of a runner or racer; N. L. gen. n. equicursoris of a racing horse, referring to the isolation of the type strain from faeces of a thoroughbred racehorse). L. equicursoris produces D (−) - lactic acid from glucose. It utilises glucose, fructose, galactose, mannose, cellobiose, lactose and mannitol for growth and acid production [82]. Thegenome size is 2.05 Mbp and the mol % G + C content of DNAis 47.7.
