Homotypic synonym: Furfurilactobacillus rossiae (Corsetti et al. 2005) Zheng et al. 2020.
Gram-positive rods, 0.5 x 1.0-1.5 µm, occuring singly or in pairs and in short chains.
Nonmotile.
After 3 days at 30 ºC on MRS agar, colonies are 1-1.5 mm in diameter, white, smooth,
and circular or convex. Can grow at 15 ºC, but not at 45 ºC. Microaerophilic.
Isolated from wheat sourdough.
Undetermined.

Obligately heterofermentative (hexoses are fermented to lactic acid, acetic acid
(ethanol), and CO2 via the phosphogluconate pathway; pentoses are fermented
to lactic acid and acetic acid by the related pentose phosphate pathaway).
Positive results for arginine hydrolysis (NH3 from arginine), cystine arylamidase (weak reaction), alpha-chymotrypsin, alpha- and
beta-galactosidase, alpha- and beta-glucosidase, leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, fermentation of: L-arabinose, fructose,
galactose (weak reaction), glucose (with acid and gas production), gluconate (weak reaction), N-acetylglucosamine, methyl
alpha-D-glucopyranoside, maltose, mannose (weak reaction) and ribose.
Negative results for acid and alkaline phosphatase, catalase, esculin hydrolysis, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8),
alpha-fucosidase, beta-glucuronidase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase (weak reaction), lipase
(C14), alpha-mannosidase, oxidase, trypsin, urease, fermentation of: adonitol, amygdalin, arabitol, arbutin, D-arabinose, cellobiose,
dulcitol, erythritol, esculin, fucose, beta-gentiobiose, 2 and 5-ketogluconate, glycerol, glycogen, inositol, inulin, lactose, methyl
