The Genera Pediococcus and Tetragenococcus

  • Reference work entry
The Prokaryotes

Introduction

The genera Pediococcus and Tetragenococcus are typical lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in being Gram positive, catalase negative, and oxidase negative. They grow under facultatively aerobic to microaerophilic conditions. They are homofermentative and produce lactic acid but no CO2 from glucose and are not able to reduce nitrate. The uniformly spherical cells are never ovoid or elongated (Günther and White, 1961b), and they differ from all other LAB by forming tetrads via alternate division in two perpendicular directions (Fig. 1). Thus, they never form chains typical of the other genera of coccus-shaped organisms Leuconostoc, Lactococcus and Streptococcus, which form chains as a result of division in one plane. The name “Pediococcus” came from the suggestion by Balcke (1884), which was based on the observation that the cells divide in one plane (the Greek noun pedium means a plane surface). The genus Pediococcus (Claussen 1903) is incorrectly cited as Pediococcus(Balcke 1884)...
