To isolate, phenotypically characterize, and assess DNA homology among Lactobacillus strains derived from pig intestines.
Isolated 20 Lactobacillus strains from pig intestines and evaluated their physiological and biochemical characteristics.
Performed DNA homology analyses on 11 selected isolates alongside reference strains.
Identified three distinct groups via biochemical tests and DNA homology: one homofermentative group and two heterofermentative groups.
Demonstrated that the homofermentative group was genetically related to Lactobacillus acidophilus VPI 1754 but distantly related to the type strain, while one heterofermentative group aligned with Lactobacillus reuteri.
Identified a distinct three-strain heterofermentative group with low DNA homology to all reference strains that produced unusually high amounts of succinic acid.
