sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from paper mulberry in Taiwan.

Five Gram-stain-positive strains (M1-10, M1-13, M1-21, M2-14 and S1-1) were isolated from paper mulberry () in Taiwan. Cells were rod-shaped, non-motile, non-haemolytic, asporogenous, facultatively anaerobic, heterofermentative, and did not exhibit catalase and oxidase activities. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that these novel strains belonged to the genus .

sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from suan-tsai, a traditional fermented mustard green product of Taiwan.

Four Gram-stain-positive strains, R7, R11, R19 and R27, were isolated from suan-tsai, a traditional fermented mustard green product of Taiwan. Cells were rod-shaped, non-motile, non-haemolytic, asporogenous, facultatively anaerobic, heterofermentative, and did not exhibit catalase and oxidase activities. Comparative analyses of 16S rRNA, and gene sequences demonstrated that these novel strains were members of the genus .
