discussion
Amylolactobacillus amylotrophicus (a. my. lo. tro’phi. cus. Gr. neut. n. amylon starch; N. L. masc. adj. trophicus from Gr. masc. adj. trophikos nursing, tending; N. L. masc. adj. amylotrophicus growing on starch, pertaining to the ability to ferment starch). Basonym: Lactobacillus amylotrophicus Naser et al. 2006, 2526 VP. The classification of A. amylotrophicus as separate species was disputed as the first published genome sequence of the type strain of A. amylotrophicus was virtually identical to the sequence of A. amylophilus [14, 16]. The 16 S rRNA, pheS and rpoA sequences provided with the new description, however, clearly differentiate A. amylotrophicus from A. amylophilus. Phenotypic properties that differentiate A. amylotrophicus from A. amylophilus include the production of acid from cellobiose and salicin [112]. The mol % G + C content of DNA is 43.5.
