Abstract excerpt
Lactic acid bacteria were isolated from the crop and intestines of pigeons. One group of strains, showing similar genomic patterns after screening with tRNA intergenic spacer PCR, could not be identified to the species level. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene of one representative strain revealed about 96% similarity to sequences from Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus mucosae. Determination of the DNA base...
