Description of Lactobacillus pentosus WT 2K-2

Cells are Gram-staining-positive, non-flagellated and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, raised, entire, and white colored after 2 days on R2 A at 25° C. Oxidaseactivity is negative. In the API 20NE strip, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase activity and assimilation of D-glucose and N -acetyl-glucosamine are positive, but nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease and gelatinase activities and assimilation of L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid are negative. Strain WT 2K-2 (= NIBRBA0000114228) has been isolated from a kimchi sample, Daejeon, Korea .
